Can't Stop is Jonathan Kaspar's debut EP on Maeve.

The title track runs to almost 12 mins and although debated and discussed many times, both the artist and label felt the track needs this length to fully intoxicate a dance floor. It is, in short, a trip.

Mano Le Tough steps up on remix duties for Can't Stop and delivers his signature magic touch. Littered with live percussive elements, it takes the original to deeper hypnotic level before firing the machines into life and surprising the listener with a soaring hook and glittering melodies.

Come Close is a straight up, heads down techno roller, made for late nights and hazy mornings in special dancing spaces. Rounding off the release is, "Too Late But Sorry", a sweet track that is reminiscent early Kompakt records in its beauty and pace.

All four tunes have their place in any DJ set and already have found an adoring audience the world over, it's fair to say we are extremely proud to have this on Maeve.

Jonathan Kaspar - Too Late But Sorry

Mambo Dżambo & March.
Two DJs, one body.
Mambo hears drums in everything — March listens to silence between them.
— You’re too loud.
— You’re too slow.
— People dance when I play.
— People feel when I play.
So they argue. They mix. They never agree — but somehow it works.
Somewhere between chaos and harmony,
they find the groove that sounds like memory.

“Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” Angela Monet

Everything is music, I'm loving the imperfections; they bring life to sound. Don't recognize the boxes around it as valid though... Love some jazz in my funk, some rock in my minimal, some punk in my ambient. 
The ever growing composition in my head has absorbed and continiously tries to harmonize my drawings, my paintings, my words and my music. It's no small job, but someone's got to do it...

Playing variety of different electronic music genres from Down-Tempo, Deep-House to Melodic Techno. As long as it is groovy, deep and melodic. Behind the decks since 2016.

I mainly love music that's atmospheric, mesmerizing, warm and uplifting, also that combined with a driving bassline, much like progressive house and melodic techno, but stuff that's more underground. I also like music that's dark and aggressive like dark peak time techno. 

When it comes to music for easy listening, I like music that's modern and musical with great dynamics and which will sound great on a good sound system or headphones, especially tracks that suit my home system's wide and immersive soundstage and which gets me lost in the music. 

Main genres I like are progressive, deep, tech, afro house and techno, indie rock, folk and sometimes electronica, jazz.

I keep digging and repost new music every now and then, check out my reposts and tracks that I liked if you want to hear what I've been listening to lately
