Next up on Ouïe Circle is Chambord - the talented DJ / producer team from Paris, France. 

Ouïe Circle is home to the wider circle of friends and family around Acid Pauli and Nico Stojan’s Ouïe label, and is the perfect home for Chambord’s enchanting, hypnotic sounds. 

Orvil is a delight - over seven minutes of shuffling groove, deep flourishes and a stunning, transportative female vocal with hints of north African / middle Eastern melodies. 

Extend The Night could be seen as the after dark flip of Orvil - things get a little more intense, driving and locked in. The groove is tighter and yet there's an open, expressive feel to the track with an audacious section where the track almost disappears into the ether, before coming back to earth with a bump. 

Also included here is the vocal mix of Extend The Night which adds a tripped out vocal to proceedings, pushing the vibe deeper into the late night zone.

Acid Pauli’s foray into the world of modular synthesis in his music making resulted in one of last year's most intriguing albums - MOD. His third full-length released on his own Ouïe label, Martin Gretschmann’s modular systems allowed him to traverse new territories in his creative process. A year later, we are treated to four new interpretations of some of the album’s highlights via friends and family from the Berlin underground. 

JakoJako is a techno artist who primarily per- forms live and uses modular synthesis extensi- vely in her music. Her rework of Quantize Hell takes the original into even further directions - an intricate, organic, exploration of modular interplay. 

Hamburg based DJ and producer Nutia, shares a wonderful reinterpretation of Intellijel Bell - a heavy slo-mo vibe that connects airy sounds and a thick bottom end. 

No Kick, No Cry is overhauled by Frankfurt- based artist Daniel 'Flug 8' Herrmann, who delivers a textured, dreamy soundscape to lose yourself in. 

Bar 25 legend Pilocka Krach is responsible for the remix of Sublime Frequencies of Cairo - her trippy, heavy rework is a real treat for those who like their sounds pitched down and psychedelic.

After two decades of redefining electronic music with unconventional and psychedelic club sounds, German DJ and producer Acid Pauli needs no introduction. His third album MOD arrived in September 2020 as a remarkable tribute to the modular synthesizer, the most trusted tool in Acid Pauli aka Martin Gretschmann's arsenal. He created the record almost entirely with modular systems, reveling in the possibilities and stretching the limits of machines that sing to themselves. 

The first part of MOD Remixes saw innovative reinterpretations by Pilocka Krach, JakoJako and other notable names from the Berlin underground. Now on the second part, Acid Pauli's collaborators bring expertise from all over Europe and beyond, resulting in a magnificent international collection.

Well reputed DJ Tennis and Roderic approach "No Kick, No Cry" from completely different directions. The former accentuates the prominent kick drum and adds new layers to the track, making it a true earworm, while Roderic keeps it more low-key, carefully coating the already immersive and ASMR-like soundscape in nuanced texture. 

"Du Brecht, Ich Dub" undergoes a complete makeover by German producer, DJ and vocalist Perel. With two extra minutes and a bright newfound energy, her version plays like a soundtrack for an aerial footage of a neon-lit city. Needless to say, it is an irresistible dancefloor-filler. 

Slovakia-born and London-based artist Lenka Toma adds a warm touch to "Life Polarizer". United by the consuming groove, Acid Pauli's chirping and bubbling soundbites come alive with Toma's techno backdrop.

"Sublime Frequencies Of Cairo" becomes subject to quite a metamorphosis, too. What was already an album highlight is elevated further by Jonathan Kaspar, resident of Cologne's nightlife hotspot Gewölbe. His beat pulsates throughout the initially beatless track and masterfully connects the dots between Acid Pauli's floating loops, eventually finding its way to the foreground.

On its remixed version, MOD reemerges as an entirely new record, basking in all these diverse influences while firmly retaining the trailblazing lifeforce of its creator.

Zurich based King Ben is the pure opposite of a late bloomer – namely an early starter. After watching a DJ play live for the first time at the age of twelve Ben was hooked and invested all the money he had saved in a DJ system. 

Quickly he developed a unique groove, performed his first gig at the legendary Sputnik Radio and became Switzerlands’s youngest DJ. 

His organic, melodic and yet very reduced sound probably reflects his personality with diverse cultural, creative and musical influences, such as jazz, hiphop or pop. 

In his studio, the sound tinkerer gets lost in time and experiments for days or weeks on a new track. 

Now his efforts are about to pay off: Say hello to King Ben’s first release on Ouïe Circle – the Miracle EP.

Title track Miracle was inspired by certain samples and beats from Ouïe co-labelhead Acid Pauli. The groovy house track filled with uplifting chords and a stirring xylophone sounds builds to an energetic climax, before fading into a soft outro. 
„Reduction and groove was very important for me in this track“ says King Ben. 

The second track is Tschaggas and retouched by Acid Pauli himself. It’s named after the nickname Ben's two daughters gave him and is an emotional journey through ambient soundscapes. With deeply layered synths and sparse drums the track is an emotional exploration of the certain hustle and calmness that reflects daily life with his children.

David Mayer’s career and background is marked by a desire to keep moving and experiencing new perspectives. Having finally settled in Berlin, the German DJ and producer has built up an enviously diverse back catalogue on labels such as Connected Frontline, Objektivity, Gruuv, Audiomatique and Keinemusik. With his first release on Acid Pauli and Nico Stojan’s Ouie label, Mayer brings his trademark groove to the fore once more.

'The Call' is a mid tempo chugger built around a kick, clap and 808 blip, before a more organic groove develops. The slowed down chants and wigged out synth line take the vibe into afro cosmic territory, without losing the original energy.

'Sooner' is a little more urgent - a crisp, forward leaning rhythm and a deep, subby bass lead the way, before another frazzled synthesiser takes us on a melodic walkabout.

'Black Queen' is another example of Mayer’s slick drum programming, keeping things zesty on the dance floor but with acres of space to lose yourself in.

The digital bonus track - 'The Girl With No Name', introduces a sublime kalimba melody and esoteric percussion, sitting nicely within a slo-mo house vibe.

Ouïe Circle - the new sublabel of Ouïe, drops its second release via label head and co-founder Acid Pauli. 
Ouïe Circle provides a playground for new talents and an outlet for more experimental music from established artists. 
The Shifting Gier EP (wordplay alert with ‘Gier’ being the German word for greed) is a three tracker, each with its own distinct mood and character. 
The title track is a meditative, subtle groover that seems to grow deeper and more intimate throughout its 8 minutes. 
'Gierporn' has a more synthy, modular vibe, bubbling away over the surface of a mid-tempo kick. It’s warm, wonky and expansive. 
'Wer giert verliert' (roughly translated as ‘the greedy lose’) is the most upfront dancefloor track, with a thick low kick and nervy, skittish percussion and a hypotonic melody.

Acid Pauli’s unique brand of organic, psychedelic electronic music has found the perfect home on the label he runs with Nico Stojan. 
Mainacht, the latest release, sees Martin Gretschmann in playful mood - the title track skips along in a breezy, upbeat fashion, peppered with bass licks, congas and synth squiggles - an aural pick-me-up for our times. 
Ahmed locks into a groove from the start, fully utilizing Gretschmann’s knack for accentuating the space between the notes. Using only a few elements he creates a powerful moment of euphoric excitement. 
Legends of Saturn again sees the maestro exploring various bass guitar tones and patterns, creating a track 
that balances a live feel with perfectly shaped electronics. 
Completing the EP, Abrains is cut from the same cloth - a bouncy groove meets trippy effects and melodic snippets suspended in space.
