LineØrCircle has been behind the decks since he was barely toilet-trained, when he rifled through his parents’ vast and eclectic record collection and started experimenting with the controls on their old walnut-veneered record player. He grew up in a profoundly musical household, his parents being professional musicians who put him into classical piano and jazz guitar lessons from the moment he had enough motor control in his hands to hold a guitar pick.

He is nonetheless a completely self-taught DJ, buying all the necessary gear with money saved up from a part-time job as a dishwasher and learning by bringing a new piece of musical technology home, plugging it in, and pushing all the buttons until something happened. The first record he bought was a now-out-of-print EP of Anouar Brahem, Les pats du chat noir which includes “Leila au pays du carrousel”.

He began playing in local bars and clubs in his hometown of Beirut, getting his first break when the DJ called in sick at a local pub where he washed dishes. He soon blew up in Beirut and began playing in Decks On the Beach. He has since enjoyed immense success, blowing up dance floors across the globe (OK, OK, mostly around Venues in Beirut) to sold-out crowds. He has shared the decks with the likes of Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, Kiasmos, Gorje Hewek & Izhevski to name a few.

He is also a prolific and respected producer, having released two albums and 10 EPs since he got up this morning. His most recent mega-hit track has been charted by every single fucking DJ listed on Resident Advisor and Discogs combined, with support from all the leading DJs signed to any label that ever mattered—plus his grandma.

LineOrCircle musical genres reflects his eclectic influences—from high-modernist integral serialism to jazz-funk fusion to Armenian epic poetry to oriental—all distilled down to pure, crystalline minimal techno. He’s not limited to minimal techno, instead combining disco, slow house, Ketapop, electronic and deep house to create a new sound that the entire staff of Pitchfork has been trying to name for the last year (the senior what-is-this-electronica-crap editor suggested “jigglestep” and then resigned in shame).

Recently, this guy has been collaborating with artists and producers to create “Living Room Sessions” - Beirut. A concept where the crowd can get intimate with the producers, inviting artists to play live and not mix on decks. He has been all over Europe and the MENA Region searching for new talents to boost this concept. LineOrCircle is now a sound explorer, a frequency designer and noise maker...

Prima Lux: L.Ø.C.

Angels,

Today we are so happy to finally share with all of you this great gift from our friend L.Ø.C., George. Carefully crafted, this podcast is a story from beginning to an end. Inspired in our beautiful Gardens. 

L.Ø.C. came to us with an open heart and traveled all the way from Beirut to Istanbul to meet us personally. Luckily for us, he is also a great talented hang drummer and we couldn't resist to ask him to play a pre-meditation hang drum session for our show in Klein.

So please, take a moment to enjoy this musical adventure..

With love,
The Gardens of Babylon

LØC - When We Dip Radio #89 [10.12.18]

We’re excited to welcome a bartender from Beirut, Lebanon, to the Schirmchendrink family: LØC, standing for “Line or Circle”, created a fantastic “Resolution” cocktail containing lots of Gin,  his favorite spirit! We’re following the path of this promising talent for a while now and kick start this weekend with his brand-new journey, exclusively on Schirmchendrink.

LØC’s musical genre reflects his eclectic influence: from high-modernist integral serialism to jazz-funk fusion to Armenian poetry to oriental – all distilled down to pure, crystalline minimal techno. As well as Disco, Slow House, Ketapop , Deep House… you name it! LØC is a sonic storyteller that catches you from the beginning!

When it comes to groovy dream house, the last years have seen many new talents. LØC belongs to this generation of new producers that rose up from the underground and enjoy the support of todays who is who across global DJ booths. 

His’s first releases have been brought to us by Nie Wieder Schlafen and Sag & Tre, both newly established but already key players in this popular niche of electronic music. 

Most recently LØC created “Living Room Sessions”, a concept to get intimate with producers during their live performances. LØC is a sound explorer, a frequency designer and noise maker. 

Now and then he also honors dance floors outside of Beirut with his music. And there is a rumor that LØC is playing in the City of Lights  - dans la “Ville Lumière” – this Saturday!

Music for Balearic People

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” Khalil Gibran
