Over three hours of ambient and rolling rhythms from a master of minimal.

Since his early days as a resident at the legendary Montreal afterhours club Stereo, Maher Daniel has been a stalwart in the world of minimal-leaning house music. It was there that he learned and mastered the foundations of his style: deep melodies, rolling beats, extended mixes, all put together with a wash of psychedelia. 

Following a move to Barcelona, the Palestinian-Canadian DJ more firmly struck out on his own, appearing on Lee Burridge's world-conquering All Day I Dream label before starting his own, The Other Side, in 2016. The Other Side has become an important outpost for a kind of dance music that blends old-school microhouse sensibilities with the rolling basslines and three-dimensional sound design of Rominimal, notably through a series of collaborations with Ricardo Villalobos with the <a href=/reviews/24551><i>Changes</i></a> EP trilogy.

During the pandemic, Daniel also started dipping his toes into ambient music, which starts off this epic, three-hour-plus mix before it plunges into rolling rhythms. He takes the time to stretch out here, mixing plenty of his own work with tracks from Jesper Dahlbäck, Cristi Cons, Dexter and, of course, Ricardo Villalobos, ending with a stunning custom breakbeat edit of Global Communication's ambient techno epic "14:31."

Finally a new DJ mix:
This is 90% the selection played at Outro Lado on Thursday afternoon at Waking Life 2022. Thanks to the fantastic crowd for the open-mindedness and the energetic dancing. Also much appreciated the various personal feedback!
You can do me a favour and listen to it in full without skipping at least once. I feel it's quite a trip.

Lastly thanks to the charismatic organisers and the Giegling crew for the huge effort in realising this festival and keeping the spirit alive.

Big hugs, MP

No stranger to Delayed is our focus for today, as we’re happy to feature the sounds of Christopher Ledger. His productions, remixes, and edits never stray far from the crates or conversations around tracks with an incredible groove, or that age so so well. Not only to add to the quality are the breadth of releases that he’s accrued over the years. Working through ambient, to breaks and minimal house and back again. You can just tell how his passion for the craft is the guiding hand.

As with his productions, his selections for today are top notch, leading to one of those mixes that will keep your head nodding along for the duration. Full to the brim with that signature dance ready style that we’ve come to know and love with the Italian DJ and producer.

Interview

Delayed with... Christopher Ledger

This august would have been my first visit to Crato for a very special happening, Waking Life

The name itself carries a very deep meaning for me as it is shared with a film that has a very significant importance in my life.

Well, we all know what happened to the summer of 2020.. instead we gathered in an enchanted land behind the screen, called "The Space Between".

Chats at the beach bar and exploring our dreams underneath the stars.

This was my contribution, a trip through consciousness with eyes wide shut, traveling to the party that could have been.

Maximum gratitude for the invitation @Wakinglifeportugal

O.bee’s Dreamscape [21:22:28] The Space Between

Chuang Tzu was a philosopher in ancient China, who, one night went to sleep and dreamed that he was a butterfly. He dreamt that he was flying around from flower to flower and while he was dreaming he felt free, blown about by the breeze hither and thither. He was quite sure that he was a butterfly. But when he awoke he realised that he had just been dreaming, and that he was really Chuang Tzu dreaming he was a butterfly. But then Chuang Tzu asked himself the following question: "was I Chuang Tzu dreaming I was a butterfly or am I now really a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu?"
