Top Listens 2019

On Oct 6th 2021, about 2 years after my last set in London, I played from open to close (11pm to 5am) at Village Underground in Shoreditch. Here's a recording of the whole night with a bit of the crowd noise. 

Perhaps a full tracklist at some point... some unreleased stuff in here. 

Even though it had been a while, we had all night so no use in rushing things! I came across a lot of lovely music this year, but it mostly lived in my rekordbox or in a radio mix. I actually record a lot of my sets but it always feels like they're in a constant state of iteration, making it hard to pick just one "version" to release. Over the years I feel like this has led me to only very sparingly drop live-recorded sets. A "party" doesn't often lend itself to the archivable realm, maybe the memories are best suited to the ephemeral. 

Anyway, eternal gratitude crystals to those who came and those who danced, and to those listening now.

Avalon Emerson Live in London (6 hour dj set) Oct 2021

Recorded on Friday March 4th 2011 for the 20 Years of Planet E event. 

Paul Woolford Planet E @ Berghain / Vinyl-only month at the club / 4/3/2011

The pond of Olganitz has been the watery witness of many outstanding musical moments over the years. And we think this Saturday morning at NACHTI he will certainly remember: @ogazon delivered a top-notch set that left heads glowing and holes danced in the sand.  She effortlessly chanches musically between emotional states without getting too pushy and keeps that great rave vibe throughout. A great set that we don't want to deprive you of.

It's been in the cloud for too long...

🌫️ Out Now: "Mist" by Grim Avenue 🌫️

Where silence meets sound, a new horizon takes shape.
“Mist” is the latest Organic House release by @grim.avenue — a track woven with airy textures, flowing percussion, and melodies that drift like morning fog over endless landscapes.

It’s not just music, it’s a passage.
A journey between what is seen and what is only felt.
Each layer unfolds like a hidden path, guiding you through a world of subtle emotions and timeless movement.

“Mist” invites you to close your eyes, breathe, and surrender to the unknown — where every note feels like a step deeper into the soul.

Let the atmosphere carry you. 🎧🌿

Mist

This recording of the current version of my liveset was recorded at a very special annual party in the mountains outside of Seattle on August 4th 2018. Thanks to the dancers.

The Hot Mass podcast series is back and for the next 4 editions we'll be looking back on the past year in advance of our 6 year anniversary. Each set was record live at Hot Mass and for this round we'll be featuring two of our residents, along with two guests. 

@tabasheer is a Pittsburgh local and one of the most studious and dedicated DJs around. That dedication is shown in this mix ahead of Answer Code Request from last May. Featuring a heavy collection of atmospheric techno with hints of broken beat and electro, Tabasheer constructed a superb warm up set, leaving the dance floor primed for more.

FACT mix 720 - Barker (Aug '19)

As expected, Mike Servito, turned Open Haus completely upside down with his closing set. A shining representation of Detroit and New York, he ripped the dance floor with two hours of jacking techno, house and acid. Strap in for yet another reminder of why he’s one of dance music’s very best.

“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.”
