This Is Your Time! Vol.14 with Reka Zalan and Horkheimer

Just as we thought we reached the tipping point of the pandemic, things turned around and the city of Berlin closed its clubs or prohibited dancing at the very least. We could put our heads in the sand (or snow) and let negative emotions guide us .. or we can use this time to take another compulsary break and get creative. To help all of you get through December, we invited buddy and creative mind Horkheimer for a hour of deep & atmospheric tunes.

Born in 1988, music in a diverse array of forms was an enduring backdrop for Horkheimer’s youth. It all started by listening to punk rock, while years of riding bmx and continued in the early 2000’s with various rap and hip hop tunes. Horkheimer started to get into the electronic music thing through his former roommate, who introduced him to house and techno music and showed him the way into deejaying.

Horkheimer is spanning a wide-range style of techno in his Dj-sets, from dub and deep to hi-hat-driven grooves or even spaced-out electronica. DJing took him from Frankfurts AMP Bar, Offenbachs Robert Johnson, IFZ, Staub at Berlins ://about blank to New Yorks Bossa Nova Civic Club. Besides DJing Horkheimer is also one part of the duo Форм with Aleksei Maier, whose first release came via 2020 released Lifesaver 4 Compilation on Live at Robert Johnson and a few more to be out in a not so far future.

In 2018 he founded Klinika Musik in cooperation with photographer and graphic designer Florian David and came up with its first release. The label is focused on the darker side of electronic music and open to a variety of different styles.

In January 2020 Horkheimer started working as A/R for Live at Robert Johnson, the in-house label of the well-known Offenbach nightclub in cooperation with Ata.

For Loser Records Horkheimer compressed a full club night into this 1 hour set. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and the dancfloor is all yours.

Warm up set - Tresor - 28/01/23 - Deep Into The Box

Ever since his first exposure to euro-dance pop as a twelve year-old kid, Berlin native Sascha Funke followed the siren call of electronic music, carving out his own spot at the forefront of leading-edge dance music. A seasoned hunter constantly digging for epic melodies, kicking beats or top-tier records to grace both his studio output and DJ sets, he specializes in deep, sweeping sounds - but always favored sitting on the fence when it came to the occasional shootout between genre trenches.

A well-known purveyor of allusive, pop-infused minimalism, Funke successfully combines the straightforward and the uncanny, all wrapped up in lean and stylish arrangements that don’t need much tools to establish a complex atmosphere - a sort of lock 'n' load romanticism that can be readily experienced on the much-acclaimed and highly influential full-length releases „Bravo“ (2003) or „Mango“ (2008). Both went on to become electronic classics in their own right and remain a rather popular choice on international dance floors to this day.

After establishing his unique musical vision on iconic underground imprints like BPitch Control or Kompakt, Funke has returned to the latter for his more recent efforts with Saschienne, a project he put forth with partner in crime Julienne Dessagne - resulting in 2012’s album „Unknown“, a master class in sparse, but highly effective techno songwriting that found its fair share of loyalists and serves as an ideal primer for Funke’s new solo output with the label. We could welcome him back, but then again, he wasn't really away.

After the release the duo toured around the world and further introduced their work with a dynamic live show. When Funke was not on stage with Julienne or spending his time with her and their son, he was occupying his weekends by playing his current favourite tunes and classics in some DJ booth around the world. The only Berlin-based producer that supports 1.FC Köln then had locked himself in the studio again and produced four new tracks the label Multi Culti, which celebrate techno darkly with melodies full of New Age and Krautrock spheres, cosmic trance moments and a slower BPM power.

As well he released on Tiga’s Canadian label Turbo Recordings the EP “IFA” and delivered four enchanting tracks between bewitched minimal tribal, twisted piano house, stomping psychedelic and space techno. And there is also a new solo album in the pipeline. It will be called “Lotos Land”, will see the light of the day on the Japanese label Endless Flight and presents the 40-year-old as a musician, that transcends deep felt emotions into a multidimensional ocean of sound. Those who would like to hear first impressions of his newest musical output should come to one of his DJ gigs - Sascha Funke likes to play unreleased sounds in DJ sets, which lately go beyond the average definition of techno and house and also presentdisco, wave, electro, cosmic, Krautrock and early electronic dance music. All mixed up with passion in order to kick all dancers into an unpredictable emotional journey, in which their bodies become absolutely unrestricted and bodiless.

Hypnotic Groove Mix #427 - Sascha Funke

Here´s a 1 hour excerpt from when i played records at Under Bron back in mars. A lovely night, thanks everyone who came down!

Dorisburg DJ set @ Under Bron Stockholm 20160318

Joining us this month is one of the most consistent producers around at the moment. In the past six years Alex has been releasing exciting material through local Stockholm labels such as Abdulla Rashim's Northern Electronics, Bossmuik, and Aniara Records which put out his first record back in 2010. Aniara Records is also responsible for putting out the majority of his output as one half of Genius Of Time, the irresistible DJ/Live act he formed with his good friend Nils Krogh but the duo's punchy releases also found a home on Clone's Royal Oak and Gerd Janson's Running Back. The past two years have seen him focusing primarily on his solo output as Dorisburg and his most ambitious project to date arrived earlier this year on John Talobot's Hivern Discs in the form of the Irrbloss LP.

Today he's prepared a very special mix of mysterious and rare hypnotic House cuts which he recorded straight to cassette through a studio console and analogue outboard. He told us the mix is for "late night internet exploring...something to get lost within while browsing the unknown corners of the web... or possibly what a rave could sound like on an abandoned space station". Enjoy!

Planet Giegling | DJ Dustin Bunker NY Feb 2017

As one of our few residents, @steffenbennemann has played many sets in Olganitz - about half of them in numerous collaborations with friends. For our very last edition, he hooked up with @polooo who is also a firm Nachti favourite. Starting right before sunset they took us on a massive trip into the night that got the whole beach raving like there is no tomorrow.
