Mike Haddad (@https://soundcloud.com/mikehaddad) presents „Lush“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 245

Auf der Suche nach dem nächsten, außergewöhnlichen Aufterhour Sound springen wir heute über den Atlantik nach Montreal, Kanada. Dort begegneten wir Mike Haddad, einem begnadeten DJ und Blogger bei https://soundcloud.com/husasounds, der uns mit seinen Sets seit jeher zu überzeugen weiß.

Seine Aufnahme zeichnet im Grunde genau das aus, was wir von ihm erwartet haben. Nämlich Lush Sound in Perfektion. Und das ist keineswegs übertrieben. Dezente Bässe treffen hier nämlich auf ausgeklügelte Groovearrangements, welche immer wieder von sinnlichen, fast schon melancholischen Melodien begleitet werden. Dazu immer wieder Passagen, die treibend wirken, ohne es aber zu sein. Irgendwie hypnotisch, minimalistisch und doch organisch zugleich. Schwer zu beschreiben, aber einmalig was Mike für einen Stil hat. Hierzulande haben wir tatsächlich kaum jemanden ähnlichen in den letzten zehn Jahren gehört. Manchmal erinnert uns das Ganze auch hier und da an alte Platten von John Roberts, Pantha Du Prince und Moomin. Ist es aber im Detail dann doch nicht. Sondern Musik, die einen unaufdringlich zum Verweilen und Lauschen einlädt. Es macht ungemein Spaß sich auf sein Soundverständnis einzulassen. Denn ohne dass man es bemerkt, ist die Aufnahme auch schon vorbei. Übrig bleibt ein latentes, aber optimistisches Gefühl von Freude und Traurigkeit. Definitiv zeitlose Musik, die nicht nur auf einer entspannten Afterhour funktioniert. 

Schnallt euch an… Ich kann mich nur wiederholen, aber es erwartet euch eine Reise, die wie gemacht für eine Afterhour ist. 

Vielen Dank Mike für dieses besondere Set. Umwerfend tiefenergreifend und erfrischend gut. Chapeu.
________________
Anbei noch seine Stellungnahme zu unseren Fragen:

• What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

I love playing many shades of underground music - and my sound has definitely been influenced by the artists I grew up listening to. A few genres are very close to my heart. Hip-Hop, Jazz, Soul & Funk. 
Electronic and House music came later; and my tastes shifted over time. It's now been a few years - and as a DJ at this point, I gravitate more towards a deep minimal, underground sound. 
 
• What makes good "afterhour"?

For me, the setting, and context is important. A thumping, dark, warmed up club deserves one type of sound. I would prefer a dark, minimal based, deep tech atmosphere.
The afterhour sound that most resonates with me is deep and rolling. It is a purpose driven vibe where we can still feel a journey on the dancefloor. Groove, and Depth.

• Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

Hope you enjoy the journey:)

Mike Haddad presents „Lush“ Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 245

wuussh that was a ride at the heinz hopper floor at @kater_blau. @talderverwirrung hosting always equals quality parties. let's dance!

tal hopper - a morning at kater blau

The underground communication system penetrates dozens of miles around the headquarters of the Aerospace Corporation. The place of attraction has been uniting those who disagree with the addictive lifestyle for years. The ventilated section of the secret lodge carries important news around. The mighty pilgrim and ruler of the Spessartian forest has been proclaimed the leader of the rebel movement. From now on, the hand of justice will crash anyone who violates the unspoken code of musicality. A set of semantic master keys of the German illusionist picks up the passwords to the doors of consciousness and allows one to get closer and closer to the desired goal — the downfall of sound monotony.

The 29th mixtape of our BLD series is definitely one to remember. We couldn't be happier with what the duo Aquarium Sunrise delivered us today.

Our friends from Interlaken started their new project Aquarium Sunrise in 2022 but have been sharing the decks already long before that. Their shared musical history can also be heard in this mixtape — with smoothly matching tracks and transitions, the two create a coherent yet diverse tale, that instantly made our feet move.

We are not only looking forward to hear more of their finely selected and driving music but also to future projects together. Now we let the music speak for itself – enjoy the ride and a big and warm welcome to the LOKD Family.

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome hrsch (@user-659818055)

hrsch is based in Munich, Germany and in his own words: " He's just a regular guy that has been into electronic music since the early 90's".

While he didn't want to explain or say much about him, as his journey will definitely tell a story. I (MOD) always take pride in discovering and promoting new / unknown or up and coming artists that explores different genres and moods. 

Many of my listeners don't know that I really enjoy a wide variety of genres and moods. While most of the episodes on the Journey Series "might" be catalogued as "downtempo, indie dance, melodic techno or organic house, I love to showcase other moods and genres such as Minimal House or Romanian Techno. 

As and artist & a Dj, i think there is a place and time for every genre. 

I hope you enjoy this episode from hrsch as much as I did!

We are excited to present to you this special Far Blue concept, in which, for the first time in the history of the series, two artists express their perceptions together. In this beautiful, one hour and twelve minutes set, Ninze and Bonjour Ben sure sound like a symbiosis you didn’t know you needed. 

“Almost ten years. What started with an internet acquaintance, turned into musical appreciation and then friendship. Similar views and common dislikes. Own principles are held higher than potential success. Deep House matters more than charts. Better slow than fast. Never silence, even though others might not understand. Support, even in rough seas. Once loosing fun, other ideas are needed -  you wanna record something new?" 

Their first set together - a sign of friendship.
