Haze: Gradient

Mark Slee - Haze: Gradient [November 2022]

This artist tribute is dedicated to POWEL, a Berlin-based DJ and producer renowned for his exceptional musicality.

With his signature beats, intricate percussion, and bewitching soundscapes, his remixes and productions take listeners on a journey to the very depths of auditory pleasure.

His style can be described as downtempo and relaxing, with some tracks evoking an experimental, or some a lounge-like vibe. Perfect for creating a peaceful background for work or for moments of tranquility.

In this tribute, I have mostly chosen to highlight POWEL's original productions, offering a glimpse into the brilliance of his own sound, rather than simply showcasing his more well-known remixes, that might have a higher popularity. 

Listen and relax!

Intricate grooves, dreamy textures, playful whimsical bounce. Over the course of an electronic music obsession more than 20 years strong, Mark Slee has evolved a deep musical style that reflects a unique personality, blending intuition and introspection with a methodical approach to production and curation.

Fully committed to digging the troves of modern dance music, Slee aims to uncover releases that stand out. His monthly mix show on Proton Radio showcases his discoveries, with over 100 mixes presented in the past decade. In 2016, Slee joined forces with musical partner Atish to form the label Manjumasi. Debuting with his own Nocturne Belle EP, Manjumasi celebrates quirky dance music that explores new territory without forgetting the dance floor. Beyond Manjumasi, Slee's original productions and remixes have been released on such imprints as Cityfox, Seven Villas, Kindisch, Everything Will Be OK, Sound Avenue, Lost Diaries, Cosmic Society, Magician On Duty, Nugget, Where the Heart Is, Proton Music, and more. In addition to regular appearances on his San Francisco home turf, Slee's style has earned him DJ sets in notable locales, such as Kater Blau and Sisyphos in Berlin, Cityfox in New York, and Robot Heart.

Since 2016 Slee has also been developing immersive, spatial audio-visual production tools for systems of up to 32 channels via Envelop. Notable live performances with Envelop include MUTEK.SF and FORM Arcosanti.
