What a tune. What a remix. Real summer vibes.

For their first installment, the Chateau Chépère crew brings a diverse EP by ambient house maestra Rai Scott.
Opening the EP is Logical Positivism, a deep, driving and cinematic nod to the forest dance floors of the late 90’s. On Track 4 Inspired, Rai brings the club in an introspective, melancholic mood with a slower, steady beat, rolling percussions while dreamy pads shroud the dancers. Picking up the pace is Open Your Eyes, a warm, bittersweet piece of house from from her own alter ego Serendipity. The club friendly 2021 rework shifts into an early morning vibe, while keeping it deep and moody. Closing out the EP is the title track Anahata Nada, a gorgeous, warm piece of ambient for the chill rooms.

Aniara30: Mattias El Mansouri - Tja Hej Salam (snippets)

Superski is a dynamic duo made up of heavy hitters Voiski and Eliott Litrowski. Together the pair have teamed up to collaborate on new music based around a common love for analogical synthesizers and their vision of a colourful and positive club culture. 

Their music is fun, euphoric and rooted in all the things that makes dance music great.

In respect of influences they draw upon a great deal blurring the lines between House, Italo and Techno and there is something very 80's about the whole undercurrent behind the project. Think led lights and sunsets.

We invited the pair to record a mixtape which represents their sound and what they have delivered is a masterclass in funk - a no holds barred affair packed with energy and wild cuts.

Superski: The Ransom Note Mix

Ritmo Fatale avec Donald's House - 13 Mai 2023

Hiver have worked damn hard. For many years they have cut their teeth building relationships and working tirelessly on music in their native Italy. They have become a core representation of a developing musical ethos in the country, one which is seeking to challenge the preconceptions of Italy’s previous club culture with an array of new festivals and clubs pushing things forward across the country.

Since 2012 the pair have released a steady string of records forming close relationships with the likes of Curle, Fides and Vidab who have offered a consistent outlet for them to develop as artists and establish the type of music that they really want to make.

More recently they have began to receive the acclaim and attention that they deserve – playing a broader array of shows outside of Italy in Ibiza, Amsterdam and Berlin. However, it is still very much Italy that they call home.

This summer will see them return to play a special show at two respective editions of Polifonic Festival, one in Milan and another in Puglia. It is a festival with which they hold a strong affiliation having also released music via the imprint.

Polifonic is a festival which somewhat sits in tandem to the growth of Hiver, having also evolved over many years to create its own niche with Italian and European electronic music culture.

This mixtape is a whirlwind introduction the the music of Hiver but we expect you’ll be seeing a lot more of them soon following their most recent release which emerged on Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records.

“Frankfurt native Andreas Baumecker aka nd_baumecker began his DJ career in 1991 in a bar called Romantica, located near the city’s main train station. The venue was run by legendary nightlife impresario Hans Romanov, who also operated Intimbar, where Baumecker would eventually move on to a short time later. It’s there that Ata and Heiko M/S/O from Playhouse took notice, inviting Baumecker to work as a buyer for their record store Delirium and offering him a residency at their seminal WildPitchClub night at the Club Nachtleben. Soon, Baumecker was regularly playing Frankfurt’s numerous electronic music venues (Box, XS, Music Hall, Dorian Grey), before moving on to Heidelberg, where he promoted the club night HD800 together with Dirk Mantei aka D-Man. After a short stop in Mannheim, regular guest DJ sets at Berghain / Panorama Bar predecessor club OstGut in Berlin, and establishing his own label Freundinnen Audio, nd_baumecker moved to the German capital in 2004. There he not only picked up a residency at Panorama Bar inside the newly opened Berghain but also started a job as the club’s in-house booker.
Stylistically, Baumecker covers a truly broad spectrum of dance music, refusing to be limited by genre: "A well known choreographer once said: 'Surprise is important.’ I think this approach describes my DJ style best. I’m constantly oscillating between disco, house, techno, electro, broken beats and pop. Ultimately, I’m open to anything – from brute force to tender. I see the dance floor an experimental field: If you manage to really capture the crowd, you can do almost anything with them." Of course, the flow of tracks and resolving musical differences plays a key role in achieving just that, and few DJs are as adept at uniting fundamentally disparate sounds, different keys, different rhythms and different atmospheres. „If something sounds truly new to me they give me a jolt. Also, dance music should have a good portion of funk and, in a way, it needs to sound like disco, whatever the style. I like vocals a lot. In my opinion they are the most important and significant bits you’re taking home after a good night out; they’re the most memorable."
Since 2010 nd also produces with Sam Barker as Barker & Baumecker. The duo have released four 12”s and two albums on Ostgut Ton, operating musically between dancefloor and spiraling left field electronics. Finally, 2018 sees release of nd_baumecker’s Panorama Bar 07 DJ mix.”
