Aimed at providing a different insight into dance music the label Special place provides both acoustic and electronic sounds that are not sonically linked to a specific era, but all carry a shamanic or esoteric hinge. This EP is just that with the three amazing artists Mushrooms Project, Longhair and Eric Duncan all bringing their own take to this leftfield slomo disco to house vibe. It’s an honor to have them on board!

You gotta love Eric Duncan. Such a laidback, fun and easy going chap! After having turned NY upside down he currently resides in Bali when he's not touring amidst the pandemic. He actually remixed this track whilst in Brazil (how does he do that?). He probably has the vastest collection of selfies with DJ Harvey if this means anything. Berlin based Longhair has a string of releases on labels such as Bordello A Parrigi, Permanent Vacation or Love On the Rocks. He actually does sport long hair and probably has a third ear for turning music into untameable beat dance fury. And what about our hosts Mushrooms Project? Well they paved a solid catalogue with their characteristic shamanic house music releases, go check out for yourself!

Rolling up on Leipzig’s finest disco emporium, Riotvan, Mexican sensations https://soundcloud.com/kalexis-dj and https://soundcloud.com/paulor_thelord make their debut with a fresh four track selection on their ‘In Between’ EP.  Well, ok. Not strictly a debut. Our Mexico maestro, Paulor, did feature on the third instalment of our Familiar Faces series back in 2020, and now he’s back, as one half of our new cosmic couple. As resident DJ of the legendary Futuro Primitivo he has soundtracked the nights for so many and showcased his own music on Life And Death, DGTL, Kompakt and more. Partner-in-shine, Kalexis. A supreme selector. Deadly behind the decks and an artist who finally cut her production teeth with 2021’s ’Neptune Rising’, now readies her latest work…  Right here on Riotvan.  The pair ease us in with the beatless opener ‘Going Through The Void’, before hitting us square in the chest with the growling stomp of ‘Energy’. On the flip they entice with the electrified folk feels of ‘Lashes’, before the rotor-blade drone of ‘Magnetic’ closes the EP.

In Between

Energy

Kalexis & Paulor - Energy [Snippet]

a forgotten flask, washed ashore where the sea meets the sands.. 
a young man, unintendedly finding and caressing his new found treasure.. 
a creature, set free, imagining his new home between the dunes..
a palace, made of earth, glass and steel, with mirrors, rugs and lights hanging everywhere..
a story, as new as old, unfolding...

welcome, to the palace of the Djinn.

PS: Now we are not leaving life, now they are simply removing us from life, and if someone even wants it to be otherwise, powerless and inept, he will lower his weak hands, Not knowing where the octopus has a heart, and whether the octopus has a heart ...
Right now we should all be together (oddly enough, when the whole world is in quarantine) and help each other. The world, as we know it, has changed forever, and we have to learn to live in a new, different way. We have to change, change your heart, remove mercantile spirit from it, we are in danger of extinction. Almost all professions and businesses have “nullified," but people are still callous, greedy and we are united by one thing - complete unpreparedness for a new reality. And yet, we all must finally understand how dear we are to each other, to start taking care of ourselves, all those people around us and the world in which we live and keep our hearts open.
