The following series was founded to acknowledge producers for their influence on shaping the sound in the electronic music genre while simultaneously showcasing the distinctive musical style of each artist, featuring both released and unreleased music in an all-original podcast format.

K92 aims to reintroduce a sense of mystery surrounding artists by bringing back the focus on the music itself and creating a blank slate for listeners to develop their own interpretations. As a result, the sets on this platform do not include any press photographs or biographies. Instead, each set has been personally signed by the artist to complete their signature sound.

This Mix originaly was recorded for a setblock on gds.fm. But i decided to still releas it here.

Dieses Mixtape ist eine Reise durch selten gespielte Tracks aus meiner Sammlung, welche aber dennoch eine besondere Bedeutung für mich  haben. Es ist ein Mix, der die viele verschieden Emotionen wiederspiegelt: von düsteren und hypnotischen Klängen bis hin zu sphärischen, melodischen und perkussiven Momenten.
Der Mix spiegelt das Gefühl eines dieser Tage wider, an denen nichts so recht in den Tagesplan passen will, und doch fügt sich am Ende alles wie von selbst zusammen. Eine musikalische Erzählung, die das Chaos und die Harmonie des Lebens in Klang übersetzt.

Legendary figures in the South American underground dance scene, Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret debut together on Clubsonica Records with a twin-tracker of outstanding quality. A single remix from a production duo who have shaped the progressive scene sees D-Nox & Becker complete the package.

Requiring little in the way of introduction, Kamilo Sanclemente has been at the vanguard of South American dance music for over a decade. Responsible for some 1200 production credits stretching back to 2013, the Colombian has seen his work wedded to a suite of high-profile labels that include Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital, Paul Hazendonk’s Manual and Paul Thomas’ UV. Colombian imprint, Clubsonica, has also played no small part in that success with a clutch of remixes and original material, including several with fellow countryman and label head honcho, Juan Pablo Torrez. Andre Moret has also been a staple of the South American progressive fraternity with a glorious selection of releases on Kasey Taylor’s Vapour Recordings, D-Nox’s Sprout and the legendary, Transensations Records. Born in Campinas, the Brazilian’s accomplished piano-playing has stood him in good stead during a celebrated and much-lauded career. As a production pairing, the duo’s work for Balkan Connection, The Purr and Plattenbank, have witnessed a stellar music collection as Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret join together for their Clubsonica debut.

Opener, “Spectre”, is a chunky rhythmic affair with familiar percussive shakers and copious amounts of rich effects littering the stereo spectrum. A thumping bassline progression and counterpoint melodic layers provide intrigue aplenty and arpeggiated urgency. An intelligent breakdown that subtly slows the arpeggiation before building to a rising and dramatic crescendo, the track then drops back into familiar groove-laden territory with delicate leads adding depth, atmosphere and emotion.

Partner track, “Paradox”, brings in Yudi Watanabe, a rising force within Brazil’s progressive and melodic underground. Based in Campinas, Yudi has steadily built a reputation for his emotionally rich sound design and deep, flowing grooves, showcased across a growing catalogue on labels such as Sprout, Plaisirs Sonores, NightColours, and Clubsonica, to name a few, consistently charting for its warm harmonics and evocative atmospheres. “Paradox” hits the ground running with its deliciously emotive running bassline. A syncopated arpeggio captures attention with its melodic vibrancy while ethereal vocal layers add a hands-in-the-air moment. Rising to its zenith, the second half oozes quality with a new complementary lead line that adds real purpose and dancefloor vibrancy.

D-Nox & Beckers have been key figures in the Progressive House and Melodic Techno genres for over 20 years. Gracing the world’s finest clubs and festivals in more than 70 countries and 5 continents, the pair’s production work has shone a bright light on their joint credentials, seeing some 400 credits on such elite imprints as Christian Smith’s Tronic, Dave Seaman’s Selador and John Digweed’s Bedrock Records. Throw in a century of credits on D-Nox’s own #1 ranked Progressive House label and it is not hard to see the appeal generated by the D-Nox & Beckers marque. Another debutant pairing on Clubsonica, their remix of “Spectre” is driven by chest-thumping kick and meticulously crafted bassline groove. Redolent in trademark retro synth sounds, a delightful lead line cleverly mirrors the bass progression while counterpoint phrases add dynamism and club-friendly energy. Cleverly taking the themes inherent in the original, D-Nox & Beckers’ skill is take that sound and extend it into new and intriguing directions, serving to showcase their effervescent and polished sound in a magnificent EP.

GOA PARTY MUSIC FROM 1984 TO 1993.
ANYONE INTERESTED IN MUSIC FROM THIS ERA PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DOWNLOAD.
A LOT OF THESE TRACKS WERE PLAYED BY DJ LAURENT AT THE PARTY'S DURING THIS PERIOD.

A musical role model of mine, little known outside of the psytrance scene, is Laurent, the French DJ who introduced electronic music to the beaches of Goa, India and played there regularly during the years of 1983-1993.

Part of the hippie traveler wave that flocked to Goa beginning in the 60s and 70s, Laurent took the early sounds of electronic dance music and, through a combination of clever track selection and customized digital tape edits, turned it into a futuristic form of sixties psychedelia. The extended edit wasn't a new thing (it had been done back in the days of disco), but he realized that by cutting out vocals and extending passages with nothing but synthesizers and drum machines you could create a ritualistic atmosphere, one especially suited to the Goa environment. An environment that was awash with acid and chillums, shot through with mystical trappings, and set outdoors in beautiful nature. As well as his editing skills, his collection and knowledge of music was beyond extensive, tapping a global network of friends for music that came from everywhere and every style. He drew from rock, dub, electrofunk, disco, new wave, industrial, house, experimental art-pop, and American techno from Chicago and Detroit. He would also incorporate European forms of techno like trance, the genre he helped create and in doing so, he eventually became part of a feedback loop going from Goa DJs to studio musicians and back again.

By the beginning of the nineties, artists were traveling to Goa, hearing Laurent and DJs influenced by Laurent, coming home, and making music based on what they had heard. Trance, and what would become psytrance, owe much to his expansive attitude. He was a pioneer of the 'party as a journey' concept... dark, inward,focused music at night would fuck with the dancers' heads, and at sunrise, dreamlike reveries would bring them gently back to Earth. For those who dropped acid, this seems especially appropriate.
By his own estimate, Laurent played around 10,000 different tracks during his years in Goa. It's not entirely clear why, by 1994, he had quit DJing. The changing nature of the music may have contributed to it: Goa had coalesced into its own musical style by then, one that had been streamlined into a fast techno/trance hybrid. Full moon parties, trance dances, or just Goa parties were the terms before then, but now artists were making "Goa Trance" with its own particular motifs and aesthetic. This was incredible music, it brought much-needed colour, nuance and experimentation to a techno that too often limited itself to dystopian gray or was content to pound its listeners into submission. Still, Goa Trance (later called psychedelic trance or just psytrance) was too uniform for some old-schoolers, who missed the days of even wilder experimentalism. LSD was still the drug of choice, but some complained that you just couldn't dance all night to 140 BPM.
Perhaps, though, Laurent had simply done everything he had wanted to do as a DJ and decided that it was time to move on. He remains an enigmatic figure, posting on the occasional forum when it strikes his fancy. In a massive infodump, posted on discogs.com, he revealed 1,000 of the tracks he had used; all commercial releases, ranging from the extremely obscure to the very well known. I learned so, so much from that tracklist: it gave me many happy weeks on Youtube, swelled my record collection, and led to a tribute mix.
Looking at the list, I'm struck by how counter intuitive much of it seems. I picture juxtapositions of the most bizarre kinds... The B-52s and Front 242; Blancmange and Afrika Bambaataa; Thomas Dolby and Italo disco. Laurent's genius, I think, was to identify the shared transcendental impulse behind much contemporary music, and to put that under a sonic magnifying glass for all to hear.
By the late nineties, Goa was a fading scene. I started with the post-Goa psytrance movement, that had its epicenter in Israel and the UK.
in the deserts outside Tel Aviv and the nightclubs of swinging London, not a beach in southern India. From there I worked my way backward to learn the music's history and why India was so damn important, anyway.
Very important, as it turns out. The story of Indians from Goa, some of whom grew up with this music and later became producers of it, is another tale waiting to be told; from what I've heard, Goa is rife with both wonderful examples of coexistence and cross-pollination and less-wonderful examples of conflict and exploitation. But in its heyday, Goa was a case of First World spiritual seekers and party animals living in symbiosis with a newly independent Indian state. It was hot, dusty, and rough, and it created a new musical culture.
The early Goa scene took the artificially imposed distinction between 'head' electronic music and 'body' electronic dance music and took a sledgehammer to it, flattening it out into an open experiential field. It showed that EDM could be as trans formative, complex, and confrontational as a psychedelic trip; that it could provide, not just an escape from reality, but whole new ways of engaging with it.
