SECRETARIO PRESENTS - NOCHES DE CACTUS #57

We are opening our Lossless archives with „From The Vaults“ - a string of EPs showcasing our personal favourites and secret weapons picked from our catalogue, spiced up with exclusives and/or previously unreleased music we simply couldn’t hold back any longer.

The opener „Si“, contributed by Atelier’s Alexander Inggs with Joburg’s Itai Hakim on 
vocal duties is such a tune. We’ve heavily roadtested it pre-pandemic and it got some amazing crowd reactions and feedback. It’s the definition of a deep and atmospheric tune with just the right dose of tension to set a dancefloor on fire.
Next one doesn’t need any big intro. Anthony Georges Patrice’s “Parallel Romance” marked our very first release and it’s still causing goosebumps recalling the moment when Mano Le Tough dropped it in his May 2014 Boiler Room set. Shortly after “Parallel Romance” was on heavy rotation with Dixon, Âme and many many more for months. We couldn’t have asked for a better track and way to start things off with our label LOSSLESS. Mathias Schober’s popular “SB Re-Arrange” is the version we’re featuring here in a slightly edited version.  
Shortcut to 2016 – the year our vinyl releases came in red sleeves and Neil Flynn delivered his second EP named after his sister “J.E.N.”. “J.E.N.” features vocals by the Irish songstress Katie Kim which Trikk elaborately made use of in his “ Trikk Selva Densa Mix”.   
Closing off things is our dutch friend and über-producer / live-act Love over Entropy with  „Autumnal“ - one of our personal favourites. “Autumnal” is a playful, deep and percussive affair. The slightly melancholic melodies and vibe reminds of the earlier DJ Gregory. This track will - despite the name - excellently perform in sunny midsummer too - word! 

We hope you enjoy this collection as much as we do.
More issues of “From the Vaults” to come. Promised! 

Yours sincerely,
Thomas and Mathias

Love Over Entropy - Tyranny Of Distance

Follow @luisleon / @haideruppal / @niewiederschlafen

With over 2 years in the making, the debut of Luis Leon on Nie Wieder Schlafen feels like a long overdue salvation. The highly explorative mind of Luis has always fascinated us and while the right moment has taken it's time, his sound was always admired in some shape and form. At last, we were finally able to capture his vision in our framework, which allowed his sound to prosper with our collaborative touch. With incredible patience and careful selection throughout the last years of communication, Luis Leon's debut comes with the name of "My Ears Have Tears".

Luis and Haider are our latest editions to the label and both still have so much forthcoming on this platform, that it is wonderful to see their first collaboration end this debut of Luis, while also giving a tease of what is to come in the not so distant future. Original layed out as a remix, "Des Magiciens" quickly became its own original piece.

J.Wiltshire - Luv44 [MUSAR016]

a1. Luv44
a2. The Number Counters (Konx-om-Pax Remix)
b1. The Number Counters
b2. Trails

UK-born, Berlin-based, J.Wiltshire (Hypercolour/Super Hexagon) returns to MUSAR for a deep excursion with Planet Mu's Konx-om-Pax on remix duties.

The tracks came to fruition in Berlin during a time in society when everything was closed and there was a huge layer of uncertainty across the globe. "I was channelling my interest in the introspective side of trance and finding comfort in what I was creating. It was sort of like going back to using processes from when I first started making dance music."

With three original tracks on the EP, 'Luv 44' opens the EP with a pulsating boom-bap groove and atmospheric synth work via acidic licks from the SH-101. 'The Number Counters' boasts sporadic analogue delay with white-noise snare drums and haunting ostinatos. 'Trails' is a welcoming, sluggish roller that chugs into oblivion, making for an idyllic warm-up excerpt for the club.

On remix duties, special guest Konx-om-Pax is summoned to bring his own interpretation of 'The Number Counters'. As an artist, you may recognise Konx-om-Pax’s visuals for Warp, Mogwai, Underground Resistance, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hyperdub, Advanced Beauty and LuckyMe. Oftentimes when turning his hand to production, the Planet Mu signee develops the original elements and pushes them into new territory via a host of analogue effects chains. Among the mix is a hypnotic and continual breakbeat that dips in and out dynamically, plus a host of improvised effects that sporadically paint over the mix like a beautiful and chaotic tapestry.

⦿What's SMS Radio Series?

Is Approach to music and productions not rooted in intellectual superiority but in exploring and go where I haven’t been yet.
Trace the invisible lines between genres and styles.
“The more you educate yourself, the more you realize how uneducated you are” Andrew Weatherall would say. And just like him, who believed in music beyond boundaries, collecting material from the world and always telling a story even with apparently unconnected records, I want to envision a world where the value of music is redefined besides the music industry and the plasticity of an increasingly fast-paced world.
I want to create a nonsensical experimental space for play, where everyone is welcome to forget about everything they know about music, giving complete freedom and room for the natural flow of sounds, regardless of genre.

Artist Bio:

Mathias Schaffhäuser has been on the techno, house and minimal scene since 1994, when his first EP was released on Definitive Records - and has been known for his wide stylistic range ever since. 
His 10th solo album “Singing About It” was released on October 11, 2024 with, yes, lots of vocals and more song-oriented tracks than on any of his other longplayers. Call it Indie Pop, Art Pop, or, like Angie Portmann, radio maker at “Late Nite Sounds” proposed: Cosmic art pop. And, of course, still with house and techno genes in all tracks.
And the next album is already on the way: Mathias' project FANATICO X, which he runs together with Jorge Socarrás (Indoor Life / Compost Rec., Patrick Cowley und Jorge Socarrás / macro rec.), will release its third LP in the fall 2025. The first single, “Still Searching”, was released in early May. Great feedback came from Justin Strauss: „Listening to it I’m imagining the record that Bryan Ferry and Patrick Cowley never made, but sounding totally modern and now.“ And Dark Entries label maker Josh Cheon wrote: „One of my absolute favorite Indoor Life songs gets a modern reworking that is perfect for any fog-filled dance floor, while Mathias Schaffhäuser's remix ups the tempo and NRG for dark room pursuits.”

2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of his label WARE Records. To celebrate this incredible number, the EP “25 Years Of Ware” was released in June with 4 new tracks by the label maker. In November 23, another special EP was released with a vocal version of one of Mathias' classics, the song “6 Uhr morgens”, which first appeared on his debut album “Lido Hotel” on Force Tracks Records in 1999. The new version comes in several mixes and with an atmospheric remix by Pawas. The EP is Schaffhäuser's second release on the Canadian label Suleiman Records.

His 9th solo album “Biotopical” was released in 2022. It combines tracks released on Biotop Records between 2015 and 2020 as an “endless mix”, similar to what Schaffhäuser did on his third album “From 4 to 6 a.m.” on Blaou Sounds in 2002 - again with subtle creative changes, transitions and overdubs. Two EPs were also released in 2022, one by Mathias' project FANATICO X called “On The Brink, Vol. 2” with remixes by Indoor Man, Chocolate Garage Prod., Ryan Crosson and Made From Shadows. And the solo EP “Magnificent Madness”, his debut on Suleiman Records.

Back in the days:
Other releases from Mathias have appeared on Compost, Tic Tac Toe Rec., Kompakt, Force Inc., Mo's Ferry Productions, Multicolor, BluFin Records, Adjunct, WIR Recordings, Blaou Sounds and many others. In 1997 he started WARE, releasing 102 EPs until today. His album „Lido Hotel“ with the well known track „Nice To Meet You“, released in 2000, marked his breakthrough in the techno scene. 2001 saw his massive club hit „Hey Little Girl“, and in 2002 „Musik ohne Bass“ permeated the clubs. In April 2005 he released his album „Coincidance“, its title track successfully remixed by Trentemøller. On his album „Unequal Equality“ (2009) Mathias collaborated with Lucy, Alex Smoke, Xhin, And.id, Benjamin Brunn and many others. He also produced remixes for Steve Bug (LoverBoy), Luomo (Tessio), Pan-Pot, German Kraut Rock legend Faust, [A]pendics.Shuffle, Goldfrapp, Indoor Life, Northern Lite, Dapayk & Padberg – to name a few.

As DJ, Schaffhäuser’s motto at the turntables is: “Purism sucks!” The quality of the music is what’s important, not sheer functionality and trendiness. His sets are usually very varied and range from his very own composition style to underground house to fancy niche techno. More and more Mathias uses his microphone while DJing and sings to his tracks, creating a very special live experience (https://soundcloud.com/mathias-schaffhauser/sets/mixes).

Some Feedbacks to Mathias current album 'Singing About It':

- Thomas Meinecke (book author, musician with F.S.K., radio DJ...)
I'm impressed by the production and the dedicated crooning! Almost a reinvention!
- Michael Reinboth (Compost): 
I think it's good, some good tracks on there.
- Hans Nieswandt: 
I also really like what you've put there.
- DJ Three (Hallucienda Rec.):
All sounding very great!
- Patrick Wagner (Gewalt_Band):
I think “Singing about it” is great. I like the ghostly Bowie-like “I Fall With You” best.
- Zuckermann (Lebensfreude Records):
Wonderful album. Great songwriting. Super vocals.
