MIXES

DediCast Mix Series

This is our new release on Casual Lab by Mike Starr, including remixes by David Durango, Mario Aureo, Sin Tek and Lars Neubert.

This time Mike Starr lays the foundations for the new Casual Lab EP. He contributes two solid tracks which are riddled with little highlights and harmonious vocals. David Durango contributes a remix based on "Center Flow". Mario Aureo, Sin Tek and Lars Neubert add their own idea of "Layback". 
Everyone of them interprets the track differently but what you can hear in the end is convincing. We're happy about the creative collaboration of all the different artists, as everyone contributed something personal to this EP.

"House music all night long" is the motto of the ninth episode. Panorama Bar resident Mike Starr sets the tone with his uplifting set in the former hangar of Tegel. Cinthie is one of the best-known German house exports of recent years. Third in line is the initiator of the "Underground and Black" blog and podcast Ash Lauryn.

Welcome to the kickoff of my DediCast series! This is where I spotlight the incredibly talented producer/artist friends in my network, whom I consider to be exceptionally skilled. In each installment, I’ll dedicate an entire mix exclusively to their outstanding productions. Get ready for a musical journey celebrating their creativity and prowess.

Introducing Snad, also known as Spandrel, a prominent figure in the circles frequented around Club der Visionaere on warm summer afternoons. Splitting his time between Berlin and Philadelphia, Snad has etched his name in the scene, boasting 12-inch releases on European labels like Phonica, 20/20 Vision Minibar and Pleasure Zone. Despite his European ventures, he stays true to his roots, showcasing his US influence with records on Chez Damier’s Courtesy Of Balance Recordings.

Considered a rising star in the forecasted full on mnml revival, his sonic creations reflects the delicate weave of experiences gathered from his time in Chicago, Goa, and Berlin. Beyond geographical boundaries, Snad’s evolving ties to the Indian Underground position him as a significant player within enlightened circles. These circles, still traversing the Silk Roads, take their underground culture seriously, irrespective of their global location. Keep an ear out for Snad’s continual musical journey.

Welcome to the 2nd Installment of my DediCast series! This is where I spotlight the incredibly talented producer/artist/DJ friends in my network.  

Up next, we have Danielle Arielli who has been carefully studying the art and craft of dance music for over a decade. The producer, DJ and label owner of Tooflez Muzik delves into a sound that resounds without pretence, opening up new yet familiar sonic spaces while creating a communal drive. Drawing from the deep well of inspiration found in the Black music cultures of Detroit and Chicago.  Such examples can also be found on Jus Ed's Underground Quality Label, the revered Plastic People imprint and Berlin's homegrown Raiders Records.  Danielle's sonic explorations are infused with reverence for the past while pushing into the future.  

Venturing into the realm of the futuristic and experimental under the alias ANDI A., Danielle weaves together elements of classic dance music with a nod to the influential sounds of the 80s, resulting in a rich tapestry of nostalgia and innovation. With an extensive discography spanning numerous aliases, her commitment to relentless musical evolution remains steadfast

Check the https://hetarchief.deschoolamsterdam.nl/ database for more sets recorded at De School.

This set brings back so many good memories.  I had just recovered from my very first bout of Covid, and for a while, I'd thought i was one of the lucky immune ones.  Thankfully it wasn't serious.

I'd heard so much about De School and was thrilled when Enyo reached out and offered me a booking.  Meeting and bonding with the whole lineup and new and old friends in attendance made it even better.  It will always remain a special night to me.

Mike Starr @ De School Amsterdam 25.11.22 (Het Archief)

3 hours of pure house joy from an artist who knows how to lock in a crowd. It could be our fave set we've had to date. Unrelenting groove and soul from start to finish. 

Thank you to those who came and danced and we hope you enjoy the listen back.

Mike Starr - EROTIKA! Live from The Cause London (A Very Very Good Friday Easter 2025)

Once again tracks from the latest Argy & Mama album have been blessed by the hands of talented remixers from very different camps. This time Alan Fitzpatrick, Rampa and Mike Starr are stepping up with their contributions. Techno long runner Alan Fitzpatrick injects a good dose of dark magic to Without Me. You can't resist the beats. Vocals and synths float through the rooms. Reverb-whipped sounds keep you moving on and on. In his version of This Is Your Beat Mike Starr sets on the profound interaction of voice, rhythm and fragments of a melody. Skillfully creating his very own funk. And For Who Am I Rampa builds up a laid-back and relentlessly increasing mood. The dancers inside and outside will surely enjoy it.

Mike Starr @ Farbfernseher 15.2.17

It’s hard for Berlin-based french producer La Fraicheur to stay in place twiddling her thumbs. A dozen releases and tours taking her from Burning Man to South America while being a resident DJ in her hometown’s Wilde Renate, 2017 has been pretty busy so far. A year she is closing with “Septembre”, her latest collaboration with Cluss Trover.

Cluss Trover, Parisian producer, oftens locks himself up in a cabin deep in mountainous French Auvergne with a laptop, some speakers and analog synths to create music somewhere between stripped down techno and poetic electronica.

Combining their love for things boiled down to the essentials, they came up with “Septembre”, a restrained yet tense minimal house track.

Rome-based Italian Lady Maru (Progrezo, General Records) has two loves. No wave post punk and techno. Playing in bands of the former and Djing the latter, she is drawn to the hypnotic and emotional. Bringing her signature sound to the remix, she took “Septembre” into dub territories with deep haunting sounds.

German producer & sound designer Polly Powder (aka Toneaffair, Zoned Recordings) defines his sound as “grungetech” a combination of dirty 90’s records with straight techno beats, spiced up with some pinkness. His take on “Septembre” oozes just that, muggier techno vibes with a catchy hook.

British-born, New York raised, now Berliner Mike Starr (Bpitch, Sound Black) brought his love for house music with him on remix duty, adorning “Septembre” with a bright percussion-heavy, brand new raw groove
