Wolfer & the Dove (feat. Murphi Field) [Simple Symmetry Remix]

Roman Flugel  -  Wilkie

After showcasing the finely tuned brilliance of DAVE DK's electronic impressionism with PALMAILLE (KOMPAKT 277) and full-length VAL MAIRA (KOMPAKT 326 CD 121), it's time to unlock the full floor potential of the Berlin-based producer's intricate sonic tapestry - and give some other artists a shot at this infinitely gratifying source material. Highly regarded soundsmith ISOLÉE is well-known for his prowess when it comes to indie-infused, minimalist house with a catchy twist - just think of his timeless masterpiece "Beau Mot Plage" and its visionary blend of genres. His rework of the bass-laden, atmospheric WE MIX AT SIX is no different, steaming down the sophisticated textures of the original and soaking the resulting concentrate in a stirring bounce. Internationally acclaimed producer ULRICH SCHNAUSS has a similar knack for transcending electronica and brings his expertise in ethereal soundscapes to a surprisingly throbbing, pop-instilled, decidedly epic version of KRONSEE. Brooklyn/LA-based housetronics wizard PORTABLE SUNSETS rounds off this batch of carefully minted remixes with his take on NUEVA CANCION, turning its warm, organic hum into pure rythmatic poetry.

Nachdem wir uns auf PALMAILLE (KOMPAKT 277) und dem Langspieler VAL MAIRA (KOMPAKT 326 CD 121) mit der feinkörnigen Brillianz von DAVE DKs elektronischem Impressionismus vertraut machen durften, wird es nun Zeit das volle Tanzflurpotential seines verschachtelten Klangkosmos auszuschöpfen - und auch anderen Künstlern die Möglichkeit zu geben, ihr Können anhand des unendlich dankbaren Quellmaterials des Berliners unter Beweis zu stellen. Der hoch angesehene Klangtüftler ISOLÉE ist bestens bekannt für seine Fähigkeiten, wenn es um Indie-beweinflussten, minimalistischen House mit griffiger Wendung geht - man denke an sein zeitloses Meisterstück "Beau Mot Plage" und dessen visionären Genremix. Seine Neubearbeitung des bassbetonten, atmosphärischen WE MIX AT SIX macht da keine Ausnahme und kocht die anspruchsvollen Texturen des Originals auf ein in ordentlich Wumms geschwenktes Konzentrat herunter. Der international renommierte Produzent ULRICH SCHNAUSS bringt ein ähnliches Flair für transzendierende Elektronika an den Tisch und belegt seine Expertise für ätherische Klanglandschaften mit einem überraschend treibenden, pop-destillierten, entschieden epischen Remix von KRONSEE. Der in Brooklyn und LA sesshafte Housetronics-Magier PORTABLE SUNSETS schiesslich rundet das sorgfältig zusammengestellte Remix-Trio mit seiner Version von NUEVA CANCION ab und verwandelt dessen warmes, organisches Rauschen in reine Rhythmus-Poesie.

Under the cloak of darkness large shipments travelled the country, from head to toe. They brought with them packages and parcels in all shapes and sizes, a curious assortment of brightly coloured envelopes, bits and bobs. The night mail was an intriguing and mysterious process, a delivery system with a structure and support system all of it's own. People would depend on the delivery of their prized possessions. In warehouses up and down the country, machines whirred and people raced against the sunrise to deliver. 

New Jackson first released 'The Night Mail' on POGO Recordings back in 2011, a beneath the radar anthem with huge potential and firm support from key figures which never quite got the chance to shine. Now Maeve are set to re-release the track with a remix by none other than Mano Le Tough alongside new music from New Jackson himself. Highly recommended.

Berlin-based DJ and production duo Tale of Us take a step back from their busy touring and production schedule to compile the latest instalment of Renaissance's 'The Mix Collection' series. 

“We put this mix together in Mexico, looking out at a beautiful sea in a magical spot in the Yucatan, surrounded by friends and label mates as we recovered from an intense new year's and BPM rush. It was the perfect setting to take on something like this, looking back at the year behind us, not concerned so much by genres and boundaries as much as by assembling a musical picture of where we're at, where we've been and most importantly a little bit of where we're going. Each of the two mixes is a journey unto itself but together they can be seen as our musical chiaroscuro, reflecting a bit of the two sides of the way we think both about DJing and producing. It's hard to confine ourselves to just over 2 hours when there is so much music we've fallen in love with but this is the best reflection of this moment in time for us. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.”
- Tale of Us – Jan 2013

Throughout their first mix the duo move effortlessly between the driving aesthetics of Kollektiv Turmstrasse and anthemic highs of Scuba to more experimental and angular remixes from Baths and Four Tet. The second mix takes a distinctly more mininal approach, with the textures of Daniel Avery, Recondite, Robert Hood and Extrawelt's productions taking the driving seat and remixes from the likes of Donato Dozzy and DJ Koze switching up already excellent originals. Across both mixes Tale of Us have managed to balance the deep, melodic, upbeat and sometimes more challenging elements of electronic music through careful selection and programming to ensure both have the flow and finesse that listeners have come to expect of a Renaissance release.

Tale of Us are certainly no strangers to the decks, between throwing their own 'Just This' secret loft parties in Milan, regular fixtures at renowned clubs such as Berlin's Watergate, Ibiza's DC10 as well as live and DJ sets at festivals such as Sonar and Movement. Alongside this, their productions have caught the attention of Seth Troxler, Shaun Reeves, Ryan Crosson and Lee Curtiss, who released their debut EP on Visionquest in 2011. 

The Mix Collection series saw it's inaugural 1994 release from Sasha & John Digweed, who set a new standard for the DJ compilation format. Since then Renaissance has undergone a musical shift, with recent contributions from M.A.N.D.Y., Gui Boratto and now Tale of Us helping to bring the original spirit of the brand to a new generation of music aficionados.

Blue Marlin Ibiza is a stylish beach club that provides some of the best comfort, service and entertainment available on the island. Located in the beautiful Cala Jondal Bay in the southwest of the Island, Blue Marlin plays host each year to some of the most elitist parties around. 

Blue Marlin's beautiful location and high quality dining experience is accompanied by an equally exquisite music policy each day by Resident DJ's Vidal Rodriguez, Prosper Rek, Tom Crane & Bruce Hill along with special guests. During the day whilst the sun shines and people sit back and relax on the loungers the resident DJ's provide gorgeous laid-back beats and chilled vibes to provide the ultimate Blue Marlin experience. At night, Blue Marlin opens it's doors to a selection of Guest DJ's and performers to get the real party started with appearances from Little Louie Vega, Goldfish, Wally Lopez, Chuckie and Barbara Tucker to name a few. 

For volume 7, Blue Marlin have really pulled out all the stops, giving us 2 discs each with a distinctly different flavour, but still retaining that cool Blue Marlin vibe. Disc 1 is full of great deep house cuts that provide a taste of nights at the club, standout tracks being the Luna City Express remix of Marcos In Dub’s Mama Said and Pachanga Boys timeless Time. Disc 2 is more chilled and features stunning tracks from James Welsh and Prins Thomas’ remix of James Yuill’s This Sweet Love. The album will be heavily promoted across social media by Blue Marlin’s label partner Cr2 Records, and will be advertised extensively at the club itself.
