Recording of Danilo Plessow's (MCDE) set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021. 

Dekmantel Selectors 2021 was a much needed musical reunion. After the preceding period of stillness, the catharsis and pure joy of finally being together again has been overwhelming. In the words of Danilo Plessow(MCDE): "Thank you for the memories, it truly was a great night."

Danilo Plessow (MCDE) at Dekmantel Selectors 2021

As often extensively touring as he is on the quest for new sounds (‘the iron fence in front of the studio’, ‘the wooden door in the toilet’ among other samples), or building instruments from scratch with his pals (see Modular Organ System), Phillip Sollmann’s experimental zeal underscores a conceptual framework that reveals a collage of influences as broad as Basic Channel, Francis Bacon, Japan or the room he’s sitting in. This often amounts to smooth and genre-busting segues on Dial, Curle and Ostgut Ton. For Bassiani Podcast 120, the German neutoner challenges and surprises with an hour of osmotic and textural 4/4 techno, twilight arps and fidgety basslines. Efdemin at his very best.

After Midnight #2

Today we are sheltering ourselves from the storm with a super cozy mix from @lecoutelier aka the Swiss army knife! Part of the crew of @boudoirmoderne, he is also sharing his artworks & record collection on @ disastro.discoteca, and it seems like he also has time to record a very cool set for us. Through this journey shaped with different melodies of Italo & indie dance , you will also spot voice extracts of 3 different documentaries around Italo Disco giving it a super warm & chill vibe like you would be driving that car slowly in the night desert :  « Distant Planet: The Six Chapters of Simona »  the latest ARTE documentary "Italo disco, the sparkling sound of the 80's") and a last piece of movie called Italo legacy.

Thanks so much for this very cool and original vibe !! Keep it slicing

Sharing from Colombia, @galopemessier is offering us an energetic and lively mix for this friday, fusing his different inspirations together. Amongst his selection, you will also find his latest unreleased edit, based on the song "Ausencia" from the Chilean group Nadie. The band may have had a short life, spanning across 2 years in the late 80's, but their music is still inspiring today. Our host is therefore Inspired by latin music, yes, but also italo, synthwave vibes, or more recent trance productions. You can find all of this into his creations as well as within this set, for our greatest pleasure. Thank you so you much for fueling the heat!

Xpresso Martina - SC Mix #003

We're elated to introduce our very special guest for the SPANDAU20 mixtape: @Efdemin 📼. A true legend in the electronic music scene, Efdemin embarked on his musical journey with his debut release in 2004, followed by his first album in 2006. Based in Berlin, he's not only a resident at the iconic Berghain club but also the curator of his vinyl-only label, naïf. His music is an embodiment of serenity and sophistication, characterized by an elegant darkness, subtle beauty, and a sense of unwavering composure. Efdemin's impressive discography spans LPs and 12-inch records on renowned labels like Dial, Curle, and Ostgut Ton. His versatility extends to remixes, including a memorable one for Depeche Mode, as well as his collaborative project Pigon with RNDM, and his exploration of drone and ambient soundscapes under his original name, Phillip Sollmann. 🎧

Efdemin's SPANDAU20 mixtape offers an immersive auditory journey, commencing with a potent voice sample from the celebrated artist Tracey Emin. The mixtape's sonic landscape is characterized by atmospheric elements, including the gentle sounds of birds, creating a serene and captivating ambiance. As the mixtape unfolds, it seamlessly transitions from ambient to deep, rhythmic beats. Its character is defined by sultry, groovy rhythms, complemented by the warmth of synthesizers that envelop the listener like a sonic embrace. Efdemin's deft use of vocal shots adds yet another layer of depth and intrigue, resulting in a rich tapestry of sound that promises a truly engaging experience for electronic music enthusiasts.🖤

Many of the worlds best DJs are the artists who fall in love with electronic music at an early age and the truly great ones are the ones who maintain that same level of teenage infatuation with the scene throughout their lives. So with that in mind we’re delighted to welcome the ever passionate Andrea Oliva to Data Transmission today as we exclusively premiere the title track from his new collaborative EP, Turn Off The Dawn.

Following the announcement of his upcoming debut album via Objektivity the new EP sees the seasoned Swiss producer take a weird and wonderful ride through the everything we love about contemporary Tech-House. Punchy percussion and a dreamy synth line underpin the smooth voice of DT favourite,and former Azari & III member Fritz Helder, for a number sure to get you yearning for a trip to the White Isle this summer.

Part of a three track EP arriving on Objektivity May 4th, which also features a driving club mix of Turn Off The Dawn and solo cut Love At Zoe, you can check out the original version of the track exclusively here.

V/A - mono no aware もののあわれ

Format: 2xLP / Digital
Label: PAN
Cat.No: PAN 77
Release Date: 17 March 2017

mono no aware (もののあわれ) is the first compilation to be released on PAN, collating unreleased ambient tracks from both new and existing PAN artists.

Featuring Jeff Witscher, Helm, TCF, Yves Tumor, M.E.S.H., Pan Daijing, HVAD, Kareem Lotfy, ADR, Mya Gomez, Sky H1, James K, Oli XL, Bill Kouligas, Flora Yin-Wong, Malibu, and AYYA, the compilation moves through more traditional notions of what is called ’ambient’, to incorporating wider variations that fall under the term.

“Mono no aware”, ‘the pathos of things’, also translates as “an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera”. A term for the awareness of impermanence, or the transience of things. A meditation on mortality and life's transience, ephemerality heightens the appreciation of beauty and sensitivity to their passing. In investigating the passing of time, the boundaries between memory and hallucination become blurred; between fiction and reality. The movement of time transforms into an eternal present.

The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Molly Matalon and design by Bill Kouligas. A limited version of 100 copies will be released as a special art edition in collaboration with Mount Analog for the LA Art Book Fair 2017, before going on general release.

2. Malibu - Held (PAN 77)

Introducing Isaac Tichauer, our latest sword out in Sydney, Australia.

Over the past 6 months, he's prepared for you his first ever original offering, Devotion.

It contains 9 tracks (1 hour & 13 seconds worth of listening) of ethereal, metaphysical, futuristic, classic, atmospheric, tribal & tropical house music.

The crusade against terrifyingly bad music knows no boundaries, even money itself, and will continue like so until our way reaches the four corners of the Earth.

Devotion, being our first full-length, aptly sums up who we are & where we are headed. That is why we've avoided pricing it -- to have nothing hold back its flight.

Much admiration and respect for Isaac as he completes his ground shaking debut with your first listen; Devotion makes a bold statement and we're proud to relay it.
