the dream loop + art school girlfriend - 21.05.2025 - foundation.fm

The idea behind the mixtape was to treat dubby and percussive sounds as a kind of palette rather than anchoring myself to a specific genre. I’ve always had quite an eclectic taste, and my sets have naturally reflected that. After having been quite chaotically genre-fluid since I started DJing, I feel as though I am finally finding my own sound, where there’s plenty of room for fluidity but feels much more intentional and personal to me.

I wanted the mix to act almost like an ID or self-portrait, pulling together the styles I gravitate towards most at the moment. It’s an introspective recalibration of my sound and intent, merging deep sub-bass with forward-thinking, deconstructed styles that prompt both movement and reflection. There’s a strong emphasis on hypnotic, percussive, dubbed-out cuts, playing with tension and release, and navigating the line between moody and fun.

I felt brave enough to push myself out of my comfort zone and attempt a polyrhythmic transition where I blend a chuggy 3 bar loop at 110 BPM with a 4/4 dubstep track at 146 BPM. I also threw a 3 deck mix in there just for good measure :P It was a bit of a workout but worth the sweat!

I’ve also recently been quite fascinated in how dubstep is being reimagined, which allows a broader palette of sounds to feel at home within its framework. I tried to reflect that by including influences from outside traditional club genres that still feel very relevant to my sound.

In a nutshell, the mix is an appreciation of dubwise textures, UK soundsystem culture and global club and percussive sounds, tied together by a lot of introspection which should hopefully invite people to dance and also listen.

Just 2 days ago I was sitting in a cafe during my recent trip for Lebanon and Egypt when Donald Trump announced his ban of muslim people visiting the USA marking another climax of xenophobia, anti muslim and anti Arabic narrative (الترجمة العربية أسفله).  At the same time I was in Cairo, a colorful, energetic and vital city that despite the cities and countries problems has not much in common with the stereotypical narrative of the Arabic world that is so largely told in the Western media. I’m aware that in times of these music is just a tiny piece of the puzzle to tell a different story but given that this is what I’m working with I felt it was the right time to drop another mix of music from Arabic tapes, vinyl and master tapes. Music that is very different to what a lot of people might expect. Straight up Chicago soul music with the „The Cats“, an Egyptian band covering „The Dells“, Lo-Fi electronic music from Sudan, tropical sounds from Cairo by "Al Massrieen", energetic disco from Algeria by „Zohra", another unknown banger by Morocco’s answer to James Brown „Fadoul“. Or what about some incredible AOR / yacht pop from Lebanon feat. Ziad Rahbani on keys with „Games“ and another little preview of our forthcoming „Ahmed Malek & Flako“ record among some other great music? Music that tells a different story, music to listen to when the world is going crazy and everything in between. #antitrumpmusic

قبل يومين، كنت جالسا في مقهى في القاهرة، حين أعلن دونالد ترامب منعه للمسلمين من زيارة الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، مظهرا بذلك مظهرا آخر من العنصرية ضد المسلمين و العرب. 
في نفس ذلك الوقت، أنا كنت في القاهرة، مدينة مفعمة بالطاقة و الألوان، هذه المدينة التي رغم المشاكل التي تحيط بها، لا تشبه أي من الصور النمطية الشائعة على الإعلام الغربي.
إنني مدرك أنه خضم هكذا أجواء، الموسيقى لا تشكل سوا جزء صغير من الأحجية، و بما أنه المجال الذي اشتغل فيه، أحسست أنه الوقت المناسب لإصدار ميكس جديد من الموسيقى العربية. موسيقى مختلفة عن ما قد يتوقعه الناس. موسيقى السول مع " The cats"، فرقة موسيقية تعيد غناء أغاني "The Dells"، " لوفي" موسيقى الكترونية من السودان، انغام استوائية من القاهرة مع " AlMasrieen"، موسيقى ديسكو جزائرية مع "Zohra"، و أغنية مجهولة لصاحبها، جايمس براون المغرب فضول.
هناك أيضا موسيقى رائعة من فرقة لبنانية اسمها "Games" عزف فيها زياد الرحباني على البيانو.
 نبذة عن إصدارنا القادم و هو تسجيل " Ahmed Malek & Flako" مرفوق بموسيقى أخرى، موسيقى تستحق الاستماع إليها في الظروف التي يمر منها العالم في هذه الفترة

VALDE - PODCAST MIX #43 FOR IMPORTED 20.04.17

Two hours of intergalactic space grooves.

Interview with @youandewan:
melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/youandewan/

While his music often sounds like the work of a funky otherworldly being, Ewan Smith (aka Youandewan) – originally from Yorkshire – now makes his hazy, futuristic house and techno from his adopted home of Berlin. Recently dazzling us with his latest stroke of genius known simply as The Brane 001 – the debut release on his new label of the same name is seemingly the first of many glimpses into his unique twist on uptempo Detroit influenced club tracks stacked with sci-fi appeal the likes of early Juan Atkins material. We caught up with the easy going producer, who's also become one of the Voyage Recordings family after his brilliantly dubbed out release for Andy Hart's label last year, and he's mixed up a stellar two hour session of his signature stripped back space grooves and dubby atmospherics.
