ZEPTER 26 - CV Vision & Lars Noll - 21/10/22

Demonika & Mike.H played the last edition of San Trancisco, the uplifting club series run by Trance Kafka and Mike.H, to take us all on the final trip to the magical city in February 2024.

"Five years ago we've set a goal to bring the uplifting sounds back to the club. Inspired by the 90s boom of trance, rave and acid, San Trancisco was born. After hosting influential artists like Ciel, Alexis Le Tan, Younger Than Me or S.O.N.S., it's time to say goodbye with one last psychedelic trip – back to back with our fellow local acid junkies."

Haunted Dancehall (22.03.2024)

This recording is my love letter to African music, with focus on sounds from north and west Africa, spanning from 1950s to present and covering genres like gnawa, chaabi, rai, soukous or palm wine music.

I wanted to present the tracks I’m most obsessed with, drawn from the endlessly diverse well of African musical genius.

Debiutinio thelastsunday EP Namai interpretacija per Portlando kolektyvo Bed of Roses prizmę. „Namai EP mane iškart pakerėjo — jo subtilumas, drama ir bendra atmosfera labai surezonavo su manimi. Iškart žinojau, kad noriu kaip nors bendradarbiauti su šia menininke, tad kvietimas prisidėti prie šio remiksų projekto buvo tikra garbė. ilgai įtikinėti Bed Of Roses komandos narių nereikėjo - visi su džiaugsmu norėjo prisidėti“ — sako Bed of Roses įkūrėjas Break Mode.

Gimęs iš gilios meilės garsui ir emocijai, Namai — tai meditacija apie ryšius tarp gamtos, žmonių ir savęs, pasakojama per poetiškus lietuviškus tekstus, sodrius garsinius sluoksnius ir sudėtingus ritmus. Bed of Roses rankose šios dainos atgimsta iš naujo — kiekvienas remiksas tampa nuoširdžia dovana, pripildyta šilumos, pagarbos ir bendros muzikos kalbos.

A romantic reimagining of Namai — the debut EP by thelastsunday — through the lens of Portland’s Bed of Roses crew. “I was instantly drawn to the Namai EP — its subtlety, drama, and overall atmosphere really resonated with me. I knew right away that I wanted to collaborate with this artist in some way, so being invited to take part in this remix project was a real honor. Getting some of the Bed of Roses crew involved didn’t take much convincing either — everyone was excited to contribute,” says Break Mode, head of Bed of Roses.

Born from a deep love for sound and emotion, Namai is a meditation on the ties between nature, people, and the self — told through poetic Lithuanian lyrics, rich textures, and intricate rhythms. In the hands of the Bed of Roses crew, these songs bloom anew — each remix a heartfelt offering, infused with warmth, respect, and the shared language of music.

Mike.H - warm-up for SEED: giallo edition

When the sun comes up over Dresden, one man is already on his bike riding to one to three flea markets to check out if there are some precious little vinyl diamonds. This man could be @cover-1, one of the most diligent diggers and DJs in the city. Over the years he made a name for himself for playing soulful Disco und House music that you should know but won’t even heard of before. When he is on holidays he tends to go to countries in which those unsung musical heroes were or are located. For instance, the islands of the West Indies to whose varied Soca, Disco and Funk scene he established a longtime love affair. At least, you can hear that in every note in his mix for UV Funk. Thanks, Cover!

UV Funk is a radio show which is broadcasted every third Friday from 9:30 pm to 11:00 pm on Dresden based community radio station coloRadio. Radio listeners in Dresden can tune in to the program on 98,3 or 99,4 MHz. Any other listeners can recall it here. The show is hosted by @philipp-demankowski. It’s all about stories, interviews and tracks out of the world of Cosmic Electronic Music.

The show was aired on 19th of May 2017.

This Was Belgium 1987-89 - 2 hours of New Beat favourites

New Beat was born and initially exploded in 1987, went supernova (in Belgium) in 1988 and then the formula morphed a bit and was declared dead in 1989. It was slow and initially all about the atmosphere with industrial strength beats - the main form of rhythmic propulsion being the pounding kick and heavy snare. It was often mainly instrumental and when there was lyrical content it often became more about slogans and giving commands - "Move Your Ass And Feel The Beat!", "Let There Be Brightness!", "Shout Out Loud!". While not really New Beat, it's no surprise Technotronic's "Pump Up Jam" was produced by a crew who had produced a ton of New Beat gems.

In 1989 one of New Beat's founders, Marc Grouls said "New Beat is atmosphere, beats, no lyrics, and sure as hell not commercial!!!!!" But, it was already too late. A zillion bandwagon jumpers had diluted the music and flooded the market with too many sub standard 12" singles. New Beat temple, the legendary Boccaccio nightclub, in Destelbergen, near Ghent, had been closed down and it looked like it was all over, but really, it was just the beginning. New Beat morphed into Hard Beat (many of the tracks on this mix are from the Hard Beat era) which quickly morphed into Belgian Rave, which was huge and hugely influential in the UK and is an often overlooked part of the DNA of UK Hardcore, and all that came after. Then from Ghent, R&S Records established itself as thee European Techno label and a huge wave of incredible Techno records emanated from it and many other mighty Belgian labels, but that is another story. 

New Beat arrived just as I first started DJing and I played a lot of it in my DJ sets and built up connections with several of the leading Belgian labels who would send me 12" singles so I had records nobody else here had any idea even existed. I would compile New Beat charts for the music paper The NME which may have given the impression there was a thriving New Beat scene in Scotland. The reality was very different; people here, many of whom would embrace the rave just a little while later never really took to it in a big way.

This mix is comprised of many of my personal favourites that I have loved since they came out (and two I missed at the time and only heard later). I think the tracks have aged like a fine wine, often sounding as good if not better today as they did then. There is definitely a faint whiff of fromage and a big dollop of stoopid in several of these tracks. Of course, it is not all about the cheese and many of these adhere to the "atmosphere, beats, no lyrics, and sure as hell not commercial" rule mentioned above. Some of the best programmed 303 Acid basslines ever made can be heard here along with transcendental hypno synths and those Belgian beats going on and on....! Slow and low, from under 100bpm up to 116, New Beat doesn't chug, it swings in a very distinct way. If you get to see any videos of Belgian clubs of the era, the way people moved to this music is incredible and so different to any dancing we see today.

Many of these tracks are made by the same people under various aliases, which will perhaps be audibly evident. Most of the names have been forgotten, if they were ever even known outside their native Belgium at all, but all are legends to me. 

This mix isn't any kind of attempt to tell the story of New Beat but rather a mix 33 of my favourite 12" singles from that era showing many of the various strains of the New Beat and Hard Beat sound. A lot of love went into this and I hope someone somewhere discovers this music for the first time and falls in love with it as I did way back when. This was Belgium!
