Echoes in the Valley, Vol. 1

Pine Trees Covered in Fog

Musik war schon immer ein ganz wesentlicher Bestandteil & ein treuer Begleiter in meinem Leben. Musik ist für mich ein Antreiber, ein tragendes Element, sie lässt mich Gefühle fühlen & mich spüren, gibt mir Kraft & lässt mich Energie schöpfen. Musik hilft mir, genauso wie meine tägliche Yogapraxis, mich mit mir selbst zu verbinden & in einen besseren Kontakt mit mir selbst zu kommen und gibt mir ebenfalls Ruhe und Entspannung. 

Musik ist Verbindung, Verbindung zu sich Selbst und zu seinen Mitmenschen! Musik lässt uns fühlen, lässt uns spüren, lässt uns in Kontakt mit uns selbst und mit anderen Menschen kommen. „Musik ist der soziale Klebstoff unserer Gesellschaft.“ (Dominik Eulberg)

Sozialisiert durch Punk, Hardcore und Metal habe ich über die letzten fünf Jahre meinen Weg zur elektronischen Musik gefunden und eine musikalische Evolution durchlebt, welche ich mir nicht mehr anders vorstellen kann! :-) 

Elektronische Musik erzählt Geschichten, lässt uns emotionale Reisen durchleben…. die Beats sind die Herzschläge und das ganze Sound- und Klangspektakel drumherum (ob harmonisch oder disharmonisch,  rhythmisch oder vertrackt, chaotisch oder voller Harmonie und im Einklang) das bunte Treiben des Lebens.

Ich liebe Musik und genauso ist es mir eine Herzensangelegenheit Musik weiterzuempfehlen…ich möchte andere daran teilhaben lassen. Musik verbindet & sagt mehr als tausend Worte! Deshalb möchte ich die Musik sprechen lassen und poste sonntags  „Das Set zum Sonntag“ , ein Set aus dem Bereich der elektronischen Musik, welches mir persönlich sehr am Herzen liegt, Sets welche mich selbst sehr berühren.

Musik war schon immer ein ganz wichtiger Bestandteil & ein treuer Begleiter in meinem Leben. Ich möchte hiermit kein Geld verdienen oder so, sondern einfach andere Menschen daran teilhaben lassen und das Gegebene in der Welt verbreiten.

Herzliche Grüße & Namaste` 🙏
Lass die Sonne rein…smile & breathe :-)

X_FR — the sonic identity of Alexander Kotlov, a sound producer and DJ from Novosibirsk, the beating heart of Siberia. As a co-founder and visionary of the label [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB], Alexander is a pioneer of a unique musical movement that channels the spirit of his homeland. Born in 1983, he has journeyed from a passionate love for music to crafting an entire universe of sound — one that leaves no listener untouched. As one of the label's key ideologists, he shapes not only the sound but the very philosophy of contemporary dub techno. X_FR is, indeed, the architect of Siberian sound.

Under the moniker Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer, in a creative alliance with his brother ENERCUBE (@enercube), Alexander weaves sonic tapestries where simplicity meets brilliance. Their tracks transport listeners to the soul of Siberian landscapes — rugged, majestic, yet profoundly meditative. The music of X_FR is a true alchemy of sound, where the shadows of basslines intertwine with the tenderness of melodies, and minimalism unfolds into boundless depth. In the work of the two brothers, a rare harmony emerges — the product of a shared vision and familial connection. Their tracks awaken the inner world of the listener, inviting moments of mindfulness and introspection. It is art inspired by the raw beauty of nature, yet designed to resonate with the rhythms of urban life.

With more than 25 years of experience as a DJ, he can reveal with an open heart that music has not always been there for him, but then there came a time in his life when it became as obvious as oxygen is to our survival.  It was electronic dance music that made him completely enthralled and over the actual impact of music on us.

Psychedelic trance is and should be what the meaning of the word psychedelic says, to put us in a deeper consciousness, if only for a shorter time in the place, then and there, where the dance is and where you are at the time being. Lurfilur has the intention to touch senses and to take control to create an personal and unique inner journey with his choice of music.

He does not consider himself to have any specific technique or play style, but it’s the occasion in itself, together with you and the enviroment the technique take place, so as speak, to be custom made to be best suited.

Lurfilur is very selective in its choice of music and song compositions and they can be seen as both playfully monotone and in a colorful gray scale.  Energy and storytelling are a dynamic duo. It’s the whole that matters.

And for the techno part, as DJ Prankzter, it’s very much the same as described above but instead of trance it’s techno. His intension is very much the same, to keep the rhytm going and the bass rolling, to keep it psychedelic.

This the goal of the performance, both for either Lurfilur or Prankzter. With the dancefloor and with You we are all one.
