In times of restricted freedom of movement, we open the flaps of memory and grant free passage to longing. For the widower in the straw can hardly wait."Strohwitwer". The last single from the upcoming Max Joni & SoKool album screams from every pore: "Summer 2021, ick bin bereit". With vocals without content and drums without dancers, "Strohwitwer" fits perfectly with the first single, "Affenbande" without jungle. With Kollektiv Ost as remixer, the East Germany Round Trip Express is ready to go and puts itself at the service of unilateral international understanding.
We believe nothing is „OBSOLET“

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony (Living Future Edit)

The first in a series of 12 edit’s I’ll be releasing over the next 12 months. 

I remember playing this track on CD through our home hi-fi system many years ago - that ‘Urban Hymns’ album cover still lives vividly in my mind. It was one of the first records I remember listening to on repeat, long before I really even knew anything about genres, listening with a certain kind of purity. 

A few months ago, a colleague from the events world asked me to do some audio engineering work for a conference and one of the tracks he wanted was Bittersweet Symphony. It felt like more than coincidence; I was already planning to start releasing edits, and it seems the universe has a way of sending us signs.

While creating this edit, I was struck by something that I still can’t quite put my finger on, perhaps just a deeper appreciation for the original. Some of the lyrics really spoke to me more than they ever had before too.

“I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me yea, I let the melody shine let it cleanse my mind I feel free now”

Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening as much I did writing this one.

A new "Augmented" reality reveals a different perception of Mango Alley. Breaking boundaries, established and contemporary talent converges in a single vision across the digital spectrum. A cornucopia of new music, unreleased jewels and undiscovered gems glisten under the auspices of a renowned artistic talent; mixed and unmixed versions deliver a unique listening experience.

German prowess and Canadian finesse reach across the Rhine to Lake Ontario, a duo of repute TH;EN curates an augmented vision of the future with a confident and dynamic musical selection. Bold basslines deviate in the luminous flux of a fractured moonbeam while emotive sequences ring out across the distance in bohemian splendour under the shelter of percussive metronomy. A new city of rain rises up, sparkling in delicate synth motifs and lighter stories tell of an analogue circus of circuitry.

Rejoice at being connected across a thousand starry skies.

INTERVIEW

What do you do to get into a creative state?
"Sometimes the machines just inspire me, sometimes I open a bottle of wine."

Where do you draw your inspiration from?
"Situations that I’m finding myself in in, the feelings I have, technology around me."

What do you love most about being an artist?
"Touching peoples hearts man. Seeing happy faces at gigs or getting messages of people that are moved by my music gives me a lot of strength."

How do you stay focussed in a world of constant distraction?
"Just turn off notifications & zero in on the machines. I have a lot of trouble focussing, so eliminating distractions helps me a lot."

Do you have a morning routine?
"Hell no, I’m not a morning person!"

What fascinates you about your art from?
"One guy sitting in his basement can do it all, create an atmosphere & make people move and feel – the ability to convey emotion through a technological intermediary."

What, for you, is the purpose of art?
"Expressing yourself through a medium & let other people feel by coming in contact with your work. Art does not necessarily has to have a function, in contrast to design – a lot of dance music (including mine) is more design than art."

What is sacred to you?
"Staying true to myself, integrity is key. I like the Egyptian afterlife concept of having your heart weighed against a feather."

What is your opinion on success?
"Success is when you look back on the path you treaded & get a warm, fuzzy feeling."

What is your opinion on failure?
"Failure is such a loaded term. The absence of success is not failure & failing a goal you set for yourself is not actually a bad thing. Every „failure“ is something you can learn from and improve."

What would your 16 year old you think about what you’re doing today?
"Since my 16 year old self was already dabbling with Ableton he would be like 'Damn you have all that gear - make more music!'“

What makes you laugh?
"Dogs. Dogs are awesome."

In which ways could the scene improve in the future?
"Right now there’s too much focus on self-marketing via social media & less on creativity and skill. This is in part due to an over-saturation of the market which makes it hard to be the cream rising to the top. I hope that in the future we find a way to honor quality & dedication and focus less on shiny pictures & follower metrics. 
Women are still underrepresented in my scene (especially on the production side) and sexism is still a thing. Hopefully, we can be more welcoming & kind towards dedicated female newcomers and have a more diverse palette of creative output together. 
What also bothers me is the stagnation. E.g., once there is a successful sound, a bunch of copycats swoop in and the market is flooded with „same-ish“, uninspired works. How did we evolve from ten years ago? Right now a lot of the new stuff that is most visible sounds like boring, recycled 90s stuff. Electronic music & especially Techno was once a promise of uncharted sonic territory and possiblity, so why do we always go back to the same 909 Drums and Acid Lines?"

Who will considerably give direction to the scene soon?
"Right now, we’re at a turning point due to the COVID-19 quarantine. After the dust settles I really hope that the underground spirit returns and a lot of new & creative artists emerge and get a chance to be heard. This is an extinction-level event for the clubbing scene, but after a forest fire new life always springs. And I really hope that the younger generation of artists will rise to the occasion and bring a new sonic diversity to the scene."

Favorite release at the moment & of all times?
"At the moment I really dig the first Koelsch Album 1977. 
Favorite release of all times is a hard pick. With Teeth by Nine Inch Nails and Gui Boratto’s Chromophobia have a special place in my heart."
