Live from the Adriatic 2024

Sunrise Sessions 2024

A podcast series dedicated to selectors who have played or are playing at our home in Tisno.

Love International Mix Series

Next up on our little series, we have a special one for you. Klasse Wrecks head honcho Luca Lozano takes us through some special moments.
 
Luca Lozano is a British techno producer based in Sheffield. His sound draws heavily on the early rave era, exploring genres such as Hardcore, Breakbeat, Acid House, New Beat, Bleep, and Jungle. Luca co run Klasse Wrecks with techno artist Mr. Ho  as well as its sublabels, Grafiti Tapes, Zodiac 44, Junglish Massive, Elegal Records

We don't need to say much more as @lucalozano has:
 
"For this mix I’ve scrolled through my mental rolodex, dug into my faded festival memories and included the tracks that hit the bullseye and created ‘that' elusive and magical moment. Each track has a special connection and memory for me, whether its opening my set with Debbie Malone at Houghton or tearing the roof off Horst in Belgium with Daisy Glow. Now is not the time for posing and pouting, now is the time for pianos and uplifting vocals. Now is the time to run, find your friends and tell them that you love them.
I hope to see you all sometime again soon.
Luca Lozano. Planet Luke 2021."

Love International and Test Pressing commemorate yet another cracking festival with the latest instalment in their collaborative compilation series for their LIXTP label. For The Sound Of Love International #006 they’ve chosen Jay Donaldson aka Palms Trax as their selector. 

The Berlin-based Brit launched his career in 2013 with releases on various labels which led to headline slots and globetrotting gigs from South America to Australia. He’s a regular at Love International, having spun at the first one in 2015, playing at Barbarella’s for an RA event.

The scope of this new record reflects the eclecticism of Donaldson’s DJ sets and his long-running ‘Cooking With Palms Trax’ NTS radio show and parties. Comprising of cuts collected on his worldwide trips, it’s a magical mind-blowing selection. Jumping between generations and genres, yet all coming together as a wonderful whole. As document it definitely demonstrates the joys of real record shops and physical digging.

This session was a fun one. They started mellow and built it up so nicely. Someone climbed a tree and got a bit too high so security tried to chase them out and it was just a vibe. DJing by that sea in the morning at sunrise is just so nice and they nailed it. Here's 60 minutes of good.

TP529  Castro and Nemo (Love International Sunrise Sessions)

Alex Kassian is a perfect DJ to have at the Sunrise Session with us as he knows howe to bridge the club and the blissed out. A fine set with Djum Djum sounding super good and an 'E2-E4' ending... You can follow Alex HERE on Instagram for more on what he is up to. Tidy.

TP530 Alex Kassian (Love International Sunrise Sessions)

I've been playing at Love International for ten years now (11 if you consider the year we started) and I've found records that are absolute favourites that for me suit the setting perfectly and they get an airing every year. For example Lark's 'Tedra'. A record that sounds perfect in that setting by the sea... Anyway, here's me from 6am

TP531 Apiento (Love International Sunrise Sessions)

These two were so great. ddwy are making brilliant music right now and they showed their influences when they came down to play an hour of music for us. Very much a blissed out sound running from Underworld to slowed down Hypnotone and on... It was such a nice session and they nailed it.

TP532 ddwy (Love International Sunrise Sessions)

Christophe is out of Bristol and (he'll hate me saying this) is mega talented across the board. He can just make stuff. His paintings are incredible and he can tur his hand to whatever he chooses. Aside form that he's got perfect taste for a Sunrise Session set. I know him for his fine selections of deep house but this year he came with a bag of balearic beats and they sounded perfect next to the water. A lovely set.

The Sound of Love International 007, curated by Moxie.

A love letter to the open-hearted spirit of the Adriatic coast and the sounds that have defined her career. Curated with the theme “U Skladu” (Croatian for “In Harmony”) in mind, the 13-track collection embodies the soulful, euphoric energy of Love International.

Love International mix 007 comes from the wild one aka @paramida.  A perfect selection of disco, balearic house and old electro to get us through the shorter days and remind us of the Adriatic adventure.

Having pinned to perfection the sonics of the Adriatic, Croatia’s Love International Festival bottles up their blissed out rhythms and sunrise sessions for the inauguration of Love International Recordings, fittingly, with a first release from UK producer Begin.  Bringing the Love International feel to wax and digital, the label will encapsulate the range of music the festival’s secluded party paradise has become renowned for. All the way from the balearic tinges of this first release, to the meatier house, techno and electro selections on show at Barbarellas.  Begin aka James Holroyd has a long history with Love International. Dating back to the early 2000s, Holroyd was one of the first guest DJs at the old Garden festival on the former festival site in Petrčane. Long serving Chemical Brothers tour DJ, Back to Basics resident since the 90's and Bugged Out co founder, Begin has long paid his paid his dues to the scene. In the words of Dave Harvey: “he’s been an absolute workhorse in dance music for time”.  Love International 001's tracks seemingly fit the festivals own daily lifecycle. From the docile guitar picking of meditative EP opener ‘Wood Trees’ to the slow daybreak funk of ‘Daypulse’ where synths pierce through the track like sun rays through the Adriatic dusk, the EP is a holistic reflection of what one might hear at one of the festival’s fabled sunrise sessions. ‘Garden Interlude’ ushers in a fresh burst of energy, with the revitalizing sounds of piano house, paired with warming neo soul vocals. ‘Into The Fun’ is a self fulfilling prophecy, closing the EP on a quintessentially balearic note.

Shanti Celeste is a vibe. She’s got that magic lightness of touch even when things are getting Jacques Cousteau deep or panel beating heavy. This makes her the perfect candidate for the Sound of Love International 3, channelling the spirit of both those after-hours sessions and the more frivolous daytime boat parties. This is serious music for serious music heads but, after all, everyone is still on holiday. It’s linear and cohesive but plays with the emotions - carnivalesque fun, psychedelic flow-states, heads-down rhythm trax, playful skipping garage, and more abstract moments. Deep joy to deep space and back, often in the space of 3 or 4 well-selected records.

There’s a deep musical and personal connection to the festival - as she says of her first time playing at the Beach Bar, “there’s a heavy Bristol crew there and it all feels easy and nice. It was just good vibes all round”. And she does make it sound easy too, which belies a DJ with some very serious skills and an ear for a killer tune that others might well overlook. And it’s this that makes the 3rd instalment of the Sound of Love International such a joy - a welcome panacea to all of us suffering from the Croatian blues this year.

To which end, we get a cheeky exclusive collaboration between Shanti and her sister-in-arms Saoirse in the shape of ‘Solid Mass’. Persian’s uniquely British paean to the post-rave Sunrise ‘Morning Sun’, cavernous dub runnings outta the Bokeh camp from Seekers International. These are the lift- off tunes, setting the mind-state for the journey ahead.

Things tighten up with cult underground hero Lucas Rodenbush under his E.B.E alias giving us the taught, grooving, dubby tech-house and Gideon Jackson’s ‘Taj Mahal’, crisp, spatial, mystical and criminally slept-on. We go deeper into the night with Perpetual’s Awakenings’, one of those records that is so much more than the sum of its parts. And who knew that Mark Seven was such a dab hand with the dank machine funk? Check 1998’s ‘Crank’ for the skinny. By the time Paco Pack’s rubberised ghetto house reimagining bounces into play it’s GAME OVER.

The final side leaves us with the soft landing - Cari Lekebusch ‘Output 2’ is both pacey and drifting and Pauline Anna Strom’s ‘In-Flight Suspension’ does what it says, whips away the drums and leaves us floating in space. Will we ever touch down?

To overuse a phrase, this compilation arrives in strange times but is a glorious reminder of what brought us all together and will again. The music and dancing under the stars. See you in 2021.

We've just announced Love International 2021 and we've got an enthralling mix to get you excited! Night Sheen Records founder Josh Caffé gives us visions of being by the Adriatic sea.

Josh Caffé is an assured part of the underground acid house and techno scene. He is someone who has nurtured a close following of fans thanks to his varied, lauded DJ sets and live PA's.  He has laid down such sets at both cosy basement parties and larger festival gatherings such as Block 9 at Glastonbury. For those that were with us in Tisno in 2019 he also joined Paranoid London on the main stage for an unforgettable set. 

It's hard not to be bouncing around wherever you are with the sultry records played by Josh in this hour-long mix. Dipping our toes wet, we get a taste of Tisno... damn it tastes good!!!

Love International Mix 030: Josh Caffe

As we enter a lockdown winter, we got NYC x Berlin's Gabrielle Kwarteng to bring the temperature up with our first mix of 2021.

New Yorker now Berlin-based Gabrielle Kwarteng’s multifarious selection won her the Mixcloud Online Radio award for the best eclectic show in 2017. Since then, this compelling DJ is starting to turn heads offline by bringing her diverse sound to clubs and festivals around the globe.

Gabrielle leaves us reminiscent of better days in this hour-long blend of funky rhythms, infused with Chicago House amongst Acid and New Beat to really turn up the heat!

Next up on the Love International Podcast, we have Chez De Milo sailing us away.

Hailing from everyone’s favourite city Bristol, Chez has been in the game for a hot minute. Having been revered by the likes of the late great Andrew Weatherall, Chez has built up his name through his mesmerising metaphysical sets by finding the golden ratio of cosmic to chug. His Club Blanco parties manifest those secret substances of cosmic and chug, hosting the likes of Lauren Hansom, Moscoman and ALFOS (A Love From Outer Space).

Our minds are bent in this two and a half-hour carpet ride through our senses, we are taken to the depths of universes to infinity and beyond 🚀

In addition some very special news in that Chez's debut EP will be released on 12th February under the Futureboogie imprint. After listening to this mix you’re probably going to want to go check it out: https://futureboogie-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/bushwa-ep-incl-smagghe-cross-version
