The https://soundcloud.com/sungate-records crew are back with their final Observatory radio show of 2022, closing the year with a bang: A guest mix by none other than https://soundcloud.com/steffi_official followed by yet another deep sonic excursion from label co-founder https://soundcloud.com/moysantana ⚡️

"For my final mix of the year, recorded at our Candy Mountain HQ, I mixed a selection of IDM and abstract broken beats close to my latest album "The Red Hunter". A blend of tracks that I'm currently enjoying a lot and of course I threw in a tune from my new album for good measure :) Enjoy!" - Steffi

Observatory 045 - Sungate [with Steffi & Moy Santana]

In recent years, the term "deep" has been used and reused, to the point where the word has almost no concrete meaning in the context of electronic music. That's why artists like Efdemin (a.k.a. Phillip Sollmann) are so important; there's little question that his work is "deep," but in Sollmann's case, the descriptor has a lot more to do with the actual depth and nuanced nature of his music than it does any specific sonic signifiers. He's long been associated with Dial Records, an imprint with a long history of thoughtful, detail-oriented house and techno. On March 31, the label will be delivering Decay, Efdemin's third full-length and an effort that was largely recorded in the serene environs of Kyoto, Japan. Ahead of its release, we've enlisted the veteran German producer to put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series.

For those familiar with Efdemin, the podcast will contain little in the way of surprises, though that does nothing to detract from its quality. Throughout his career, he's repeatedly hit paydirt when enriching standard techno rhythms with bits of noise and field recordings, and that holds true here. Even when the music's energy is peaking, the podcast feels like a long, slow burn, as subtle atmospheres and melodies gently give rise to thundering layers of percussion. The blends are long and the narrative is deliberate, making for a particularly immersive listen. Sure, there are ace bits of house and techno at work, not mention more pensive melodic passages that provide a little time for introspection, but this is an effort in which the final product is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

„Minimal Mondays visad buvo naujų, šviežių ir nemažą patirtį sukaupusių atlikėjų mišinys. Vieni iš kitų mokomės jau 19 metų, tad galima tik pakelti taurę ir palinkėti išlikti klubinės kultūros bendruomenę jungiančia grandim!”, — mylimą seriją sveikina Kameu, o mes primename — Minimal Mondays 19 gimtadienį švenčiame lygiai po savaitės: bit.ly/minimalmondays19

'Minimal Mondays has always been a mixture of new, fresh, and experienced performers. We have been learning from each other for 19 years, so let's raise a glass and wish for the community that unites club culture to continue!,' greets Kameu to the beloved series, while we remind you that Minimal Mondays' 19th birthday celebration will be held next sunday: bit.ly/minimalmondays19

Releasing my debut album has been one of my most meaningful life-experiences, and apart from the times playing my livesets, I seem to never have found a right moment to share it personally with the world. Today it has been exactly one year since the release-date, so this should be a good moment.

"Kindred Phenomena marks Mattheis' debut album. After two cosmic EPs on Nous'klaer and a mini-album on tape for Ecstatic Recordings, he now returns to Nous'klaer for his first full story. An album shaped for every occasion: driving from the city to the island, dancing in the living room, or raving at sunset. On Kindred Phenomena Mattheis picks up where he left off: 'Swell' serves as another episode of the prisms, the modular synth excursion of 'Bit Fragments' pushes his arpeggiator solos a step further, and album standout 'Ben_M' provides his most beautiful dance of melodies yet. The album consists of eight tracks and comes as a double 12 inch for deejay convenience; and for the ultimate experience: go see Mattheis perform his album live on the road."

Ssg special - john osborn @ panorama bar.

Like his name suggests, Black Merlin is something of a wizard. His music is drenched in worldly sounds and colourful cultures, not least his forthcoming Kosua album, a second on Island of The Gods. Inspired by his love affair with the island of Papua New Guinea, it features recordings of the local tribes, jungle sounds, wildlife and ancient dance customs so is a living and breathing document that immediately transports you to the southwestern Pacific. It comes after years of dizzyingly diverse releases on the likes of Pinkman, Mannequin and She Lost Kontrol that mix up EBM, techno, ambient and house, plus collaborative projects such as Karamka and Spectral Empire. 

His 90 minute mix for us is as stylish and unrestricted as you would expect, and given that we’re in Halloween month, it feels like it’s come just at the right time. Starting out with soot black apoca-disco, it traverses its way through study industrial, urban desolation and factory floors in meltdown. It’s mechanical and shadowy, but always filled with a sense of tension and suspense that keeps you enthralled.

For many years now PomPom has been a label/artist worth checking and collecting. Many of the PomPom releases have been residence in my dj-bag. The unique PomPom sound is cold, stoic, distorted and blunt, other tracks are warm and dreamy, all very minimal in style. Many (early) releases contain samples from well known artists as Prince, Aphex Twin, Chris Isaak, Fad Gadget and more. Lately PomPom released new work on A-ton (@ostgutton-official ) : https://a-ton.bandcamp.com/music and
