Mix for Ekollektiv

Back to the monthly series after a little holiday break, this mix plays with a bit of dark and light. Some tunes in here that oscillate between melancholy and optimism, dark at times but playful at others. A bit of rumble, a bit of sparkle.

Diffraction: In Shadow

Mark Slee - Diffraction: In Shadow [February 2022]

Berlin based DJ and producer Powel is the author of stellar remixes and productions of incredible musicality. His signature rhythms, percussion work and captivating atmospheres have the amazing ability to take you into the depth of aural pleasure.
Words from the artist: 
I usually don't have much to say about my mixes and this time is no different. It's music from the softer spectrum of electronic dance music (I hate that this term is usually used to describe a very specific genre)recorded on a rainy midweek afternoon. I think it'll speak for itself if you allow it to do so.

Flow Sessions 075 - Powel

We thought you might still be tired from an exciting weekend and therefore have an exquisite espresso for you today! Mike Haddad, Montréal’s sonic story teller, created the ultimate espresso blend: bold and balanced, with caramelly sweet finish, and, the “holy grail” of a good espresso, a rich layer of crema floating on top! 

Born and raised in the French speaking part of Canada, Mike has been mixing for few years now. Inspired by all cultures, he is curious about exploring all sounds, and playing a more diverse range of tracks. 

Raised on classic hip hop, he has only dived into electronic music in the past few years. The genre has satisfied the craving for driving, grooving melodies. Developing a passion for moving dance-floors, he uses DJing as a creative outlet; a means to tell a story. Obsessed by the deepest of sounds, his goal is to transport his listeners; through his evolving mixes.  

We 100% felt this in Mike’s mixes and are happy to welcome him on board.  

Cheers!

Powel : Good Morning from Berlin

For the last episode in this year’s anniversary month of August we’re happy to add a special treat to the Schirmchendrink menu: A Spanish version of the Mai Tai – mixed by the terrific music producer Pablo Bolivar and consisting of releases on his own label Seven Villas.

Born in Santander, Spain, in 1981, Pablo took his first steps into the music business by studying Sound Engineering at Barcelona’s Crash institute. Following this, he worked as a sound engineer for a number of years following his graduation in 1998.

After releasing his first LP on Barcelona’s „Regular“, the Spaniard has gone from strength to strength, with further releases on imprints such as Desolat, Culprit, Einmusika and, of course, on his own labels Seven Villas or Avantroots.  

There is often a deep, mystical feeling locked inside Pablo’s music. He once said that this comes from his homeland, and its grey and rainy days, the beautiful green landscapes and endless summers. And this is beautifully transported through his music, like in his latest work, a co-production with his fellow countryman Squire on Lee Burridge’s TRYBESof.

Besides music production, the name Pablo Bolivar also stands for meticulously crafted DJ performances: A combination of his his own mesmerizing Techno cuts with records unearthed from his regular excursions crate digging as well as from other artists he admires. 

Enough of the writing, raise your Mai Tai’s to and lets look and see! Or better, listen and hear...

Thanks to Keyvan for the beautiful cocktail on the artwork! Check out www.instagram.com/keydcocktails for more fantastic creations.

Cheers!

Originally a child of reggae, Bonjour Ben started DJing in his early twenties. With the help of the tight DJ community, he has established his organic sound has become a staple of the organic and intercultural house scene, including appearances in Berlin (Watergate, About Blank, Sisyphos, katerblau),
Amsterdam, Zürich, London, Sao Paulo, NYC, Cape Town and more...

Ben's approach is hypnotic, he embarks us gently but surely in his dreamy universe. He is very creative and delicate. His sets feel like an endless flow, two hours becomes six and feels like ten minutes. We forget about time and the outside world, we are drawn into the present moment and don’t want to leave this world filled with softness.

Quarantunes #1: Valentines Day

For someone who likes dance music, I have a pretty short attention span, and I tend to do a ton of editing on my studio mixes so that tracks are changing over every few minutes. But Flow Sessions' 3.33-minute allowance let me lay off the scissors for once, giving these tracks plenty of space to breathe. I ran all around the hills and groves of electronic music from the last thirty years – there's new age ambience from the nineties in here, low-slung Andy Stott techno, hip hop (from 1996 to 2017), house, classic jungle, Flying Lotus (gets his own genre), and even a bit of folk music. It's the kind of selection that'd make sense in London in the winter, with a gently hopeful melancholy tying it together. But my idea of melancholy is often someone else's idea of euphoria, so if you find this uplifting then that's good too.

A huge thank you to Flow Sessions for setting up this scheme. There's a respect and nurturing spirit behind this thing, and now that the heyday of the mix CD is long gone, any gesture of support towards mix curators is really heartening. 

P.S. Feel free to ask for track IDs in the comments.

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.
