Happy Halloween, dear Laissiez! 🎃🕯️
Believe it or not, today we have a guest from across the Atlantic ✈️🌎. The mysterious @narcissemusique, known for his dark, groovy sound 🎧🖤, sent us a set that couldn't be more fitting for today's Halloween celebration. Crunchy 💥, techy, driving ⚡, and never over the top 💁‍♂️🪞!

🎃 Welcome Narcisse, what is the BPM range you normally play in?
110 BPM is the tempo I feel most comfortable with, but I like to adapt to what feels best at the moment. I've found that being curious and staying open to any BPM has nurtured my music production heavily. On this tour, I found myself playing a couple of times at 125 BPM, and it was a very fulfilling experience.

🕷️ How would you describe your music style in your own words?
Although it really changes depending on my mood and the situation, most of my latest releases can be described as raw, heavy, and edgy. I really like to bring the imperfect side of human beings into art and embrace it—I find it more interesting. I think that seeking perfection can end up killing music genres. At the last stage of a music genre, you will always see an explosion of extreme technic focus artists taking things to the limit, technically.

👻 Please tell us more about your artist name Narcisse.
The name came to me from two sides of my life. The first is a parody of how artists normally focus so much on their beauty or social appearance, and I thought it would be funny for an artist called Narcisse to have a picture of himself (my profile artist picture) highlighting bad facial features. The other reason why I chose this name—I'll leave that there for now :) [Editor's note: Sassy! :-D]

🧙‍♂️  How can we imagine the downtempo scene in Mexico? 
It's an incredibly diverse space of visions and styles with great potential waiting to be explored. You'll find downtempo references everywhere, from the most humble clubs to the poshest ones—two extremes just waiting to be connected.

🦇 Do you see a difference between the downtempo scene in Mexico compared to Europe? 
The downtempo scene in Mexico is still very underground. I think that the genre is still very unknown, even for people inside the electronic music scene. They understand the sound and most likely have heard it before, but it's less known than the bigger movement that has happened in the past years in Europe.
 
💀 In Europe Halloween is more commercial, while in Mexico Dia de los Muertos has a deep traditional meaning. Can you tell us about this tradition?
It does carry a deep meaning, and it shows how we see death. For me personally, it functions as a mechanism to accept, in a better way, when a person we love is no longer with us.

🧛‍♂️ Was it a challenge to plan this dark bounce halloween set or is it just your regular sound?
Thankfully I was able to just put mostly my productions together and it ended up being very fitting :)

🐍 If your sound was a Halloween creature, what would it be?
Hahaha interesting question, maybe medusa, does that count as halloween creature? haha

🖤 What's next for you after this set?
A lot of releases, I release a track a month so there is plenty to go and at the moment i'm writing this i'm finishing my europe tour so, more things to announce soon.

🧟‍♀️ Is there anything you want to tell to the listeners?
Thanks, I'm very grateful for the people that listen to my music, and all the things that I have been able to do, and most importantly all the lovely people I have been able to meet thanks to music, and thanks to the Laissez-Faire crew to put this together -such a lovely team <3 . [Editor's note: ❤️]

Thanks so much for your engagement, Narcisse. And now: Laiss' F(a)ire it up 🔥🎃🔥

Ali Alo — Inspired By Series 🇩🇪

For this new chapter of the Inspired By series, we travel into the immersive sound world of @eckert-philipp, better known as ECKRT.

Philipp’s music feels like a dialogue between earth and sky — deep grooves rooted in the ground, while melodies drift high like fragments of dreams. His sets are journeys woven with textures and emotions, designed to move the body while gently stirring the soul.

With a refined sensibility, he captures atmospheres that are both timeless and intimate, guiding us through waves of energy where hypnotic rhythms meet delicate details. This mix is a mirror of his passion for storytelling through sound, an invitation to close your eyes and let the music speak.

So take a deep breath, press play, and let yourself be carried away.

To get to know him a little better, here’s a glimpse into his musical story …

✘ So tell me what was your first track you fell in love with during your childhood?
Dave Seaman & One Million Toys - Everything Comes In Threes (D-Nox & Beckers Remix) was one of the formative gems from 2014-2019.

✘ ... and the last track you digged?
Derun - Nea Moni (Lanka Remix) pitched down to 90 BPM!

✘ Maybe could you tell us how did you get into the music cooking pot?
I was always fascinated by the possibility of creating your own way of music, inspired by friends like Innellea or Yubik in 2013. Mixing sound is highly addictive and I love it!

Con amor …

CHOO CHOOO.. es ist das Jahr 2025: Der Bummelzug macht Halt in der Villa Nachttanz. Eine Aufzeichnung der Bummelfahrt wurde entdeckt. Lasst euch mit, von Anorak ausgewählten, Klängen verzaubern.. am Dampfkessel schürt Anorak treibend, aber flauschig und weich. Lasst euch in die Sphäre geleiten und ein Mal umherwirbeln, ein Rad schlagen und über Kopf wieder landen. 
Herzlichsten Dank an alle Zugbegleiter*innen für diese wundervolle Reise durch den Abend. 
Thank you for traveling with Slow Bar.

MuMa Tapes 008 By Eve Lyn

chameleon #82 by the legend San Miguel finds its place between deeper downtempo and a more modern, driving sound. The mix moves with a quiet pulse balancing introspective moments with a direct forward energy. It’s a thoughtful crossing of moods, where depth meets momentum.
It's been recorded at a remote place full of raw beauty in between mountains, ocean, sunlight and drifting mist.
In addition to all this already, it's filled with a range of unreleased MŎNɅDɅ tracks, ready to be heard the first time 😋.
