Peter Kersten, and his main production and DJing alias, Lawrence, have become very heavily associated with the deep, aquatic house since the turn of the millennium.
But less widely known than his house and ambient work as Lawrence and as a co-founder of legendary German label Dial, is his production work as Sten. Having not been released as Sten since 2008, Kersten makes a powerful comeback with “Earthshine” - a 12-track LP on Sushitech.

Most of the album is dance-floor oriented, with some more laid-back bits. One of the tracks that will surely make many club appearances over the next few months is 'Freewalk', a piece revolving around its trance-influenced stabs.  It features Lawrence’s signature percussive work and punchy kicks, and we are honored to premiere it today.

Take a listen and try to resist the urge to nod your head along or fidget with your feet. Sten is back. Nature is healing.

#52 - COSMONECTION

The waters were shallow and warm, the waves moved slowly and softly. Down by the river there were a few stray souls who had gathered to take in the glow of the morning and observe the peace before the chaos of the day unfolded.

Some called this the magic hour, magical it was.

In the distance they watched as the boats began to ready themselves in the harbour – they would not return until sunset later that day and what they’d uncover or discover out on the rough, dirty waters was anyones guess.

For now it was simply a time to take a deep breath, observe the cool breeze and listen to the sounds of nature.
 
This one landed in the inbox a few weeks back and has been on repeat ever since. A dreamy, melodic affair channeling the best elements of downtempo, trip hop, acid, house and everything in between. A really well balanced record which has a little bit of everything we like. Soos is relatively new on our radar but that all changes now.

PREMIERE: Soos - Cool Sbu [Mule Musiq]

Elpierro - Encre Noire (Original)

Dirt Crew sublabel Spiel started out in 2013 with three nice releases, the first two by "Clancy“ featuring remixes by “Urulu” and “Prins Thomas” followed by an ep from "Mercury“. After a hiatus Spiel is back for 2016 with a new four tracker. Hailing from Leipzig "Good Guy Mikesh“ is a guy with a pretty massive array of releases & remixes (on Permanent Vacation, Ellum Audio, Renate Schallplatten or Riotvan to name but a few) and a huge range of influences from funk/soul to 80’s new-wave electro and back again.  "Why Not" here featured is a deep and dreamy wonder. The bass slips and slides dancing with the top line while a palette of plucked strings, tuned percussion and Mikesh’s signature synth soundscapes reach into the distance as the track continues to roll. 

PREMIERE : Good Guy Mikesh - Why Not

Fast forward to the summer of 2017, and Mazian is ready to drop an EP that not only confirms his status as a rising star of Dutch dance music, but also showcases a newfound ability to combine a finely-tuned sense of what works on the dancefloor with the kind of compositional skills that can take a lifetime to perfect.
The Duplicate EP is an altogether more mature proposition than his debut 12", but retains many of the sounds and influences that marked out his first appearance on Voyage Direct - not least his love of spacey electronics, mood-enhancing chord progressions and sparkling synthesizer motifs.
This can be heard in particular on the title track, an ear-catching club jam that wraps chiming melodies, Mazian's own rapped vocal refrains and electro-era synths around a gently jacking, Chicago style house groove. It's deep, poignant and attractive, with subtle nods to the dreamy Windy City deep house of Larry Heard, the retro-futurist boogie business of Moon B and Dam Funk, and the kaleidoscopic electronic funk of Parliament.
Further proof of Mazian's increased musical maturity can be heard in the breathtaking "Dream Mix" of Duplicate. Featuring a yearning, almost melancholic vocal from the producer himself, the remix offers an analogue style deep house interpretation bristling with cascading melody lines, classic Chicago house bass and bubbly, deep space electronics.
The EP closes with superb bonus cut premiered here "Ride That Shit Baby", an expansive chunk of mind-altering analogue deep house full of restless ride cymbals, crunchy drum machine hits, starburst electronics, delay-laden organ lines and swirling chord progressions. It's as intricately programmed and produced as anything Mazian has released to date, and twice as emotion-rich. In some ways, it's the perfect end to an EP in which Mazian brilliantly showcases the depth and breadth of his emerging talent.

DC Promo Tracks #152: Mårble "Tbilisi Night"

Ulla Straus - at a table

My interpretation of https://soundcloud.com/nillocr fantastic track.

https://nillo.bandcamp.com/album/nacimiento-de-los-diablitos

Artwork: Mostros (facebook.com/mostrosinside)

Sample: flute, seashell & vocal extracts from traditional "danza de nacimiento los diablitos" from the Boruca tribe // Costa Rica

The traditional dance is a representation of the colonization days where the Spanish conquerors (represented with bulls masks) chase the indigenous who wears the handcrafted devil masks.

The day before the celebration, at midnight, bombs are thrown into the air announcing the birth, that is, the birth of the little devils. These begin their journey in the hill Brugrá, in Boruca, or in the hill of King Curré, according to the town where the festival takes place. The little devils sing a traditional song called saloma and they sound snails of cambute and horns, after which they pass from house to house, where they are greeted with chicha and meals, while they continue to sing and dance intertwined with their arms to the rhythm of the music.

The morning of the celebration, the bull appears, whose objective is to kill the little devils. They face him led by the Elder Devil, in three contests throughout the day, during the three days of the celebration. These contests are trips around the community: the bull attacks the devils to throw them to the ground, where they can even break the mask. On the part of the little devils, the essential idea of ​​the game is to face the bull and provoke it. Finally, the bull defeats and kills the little devils, symbol of the Spanish victory during the conquest. The last to fall is always the Greater Devil, who represents the cacique. All the little devils are lying on the ground, an act that is known as the Tomb, which takes place on the last day of the party. After this, the bull flees and takes refuge in the mountain, after which, the Greater Devil sounds a snail and returns the life to the devils (in what is known as the Diabla), who go out to look for the bull. When he is finally found, he appears dressed in leaves and branches, and furiously tries to kill the little devils again. They defeat the bull and sacrifice it in a bonfire. The death of the bull is repeated several times throughout the day. The "corpse" of the burning bull is paraded by the community, and its pieces are sold or given symbolically to the attendees, representing their flesh, while the chicha represents their blood. Finally, his remains are burned in a bonfire, and a great party is celebrated celebrating the victory of the little devils over the bull.

Today we dive into another part of the groove that we haven't explored much, Ambient! 

It is @citizenmaze "Glade Hollow" soon to be released on @analogueattic that starts this new journey. 

This Australian bad boy provided the smoothest track to enjoy a good sunset after a hard day of work behind a desk in an office without air-con, word.

Enjoy and watch out for the release!
