LUCA BIGOTE – DJ MIXES & LIVE RECORDINGS

E2-E8 w/ Luca - 2nd Sunday 4-6pm

trippy groovy techhouse, ambient , electro, techno & leftfield, vol. 12

Berlin based Luca Bigote coming through with a club ready selection of fine house heaters!

"Displaying an intent to never be pinned down by genres, his diverse sets are representative of all the experiences he accumulated over the years, that led him to share the dj booth with artists like Tornado Wallace, Patrice Scott, Fantastic Man, Rahaan and many more: a global journey into all the different shades of House music and beyond, Electronica ambience and some Organic Grooves — with a whimsical Balearic feel.

After being invited to contribute and showcase his strictly personal and eclectic music vision across several podcast channels and radio shows, he started curating his own mix series and in 2021 he kicked off a residency on Lyon-born web station LYL Radio with a show called “Tiella Sound”.
Since April 2019, he also runs an ambient-focused side-project called “Nostalgia Del Futuro” which is now a show on Milan-based platform Mondonero.

In the past, he also contributed for Italian music webzines such as Tsinoshi Bar and RITC - Roma In The Club, and acted as prime ambassador of Enzino's Records — a vinyl-only label supported by the likes of Axel Boman, Soul Clap, Wolf+Lamb, OYE Records, Phonica and where he released two edits back in 2017."

▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?
I grew up in a family not very connected to music, but at some point that changed when my brother Benny started deejaying and introduced me to a lot of alternative music of the time, especially so called "French-Touch" house music.

▌II How would you describe your style?
Eclectic and open-minded. Fortunately, over the years I have come into contact with music of different genres and with artists involved in very different situations. I can easily select from ambient to techno, via house and organic grooves, and I can show my 'fluid' approach especially during DJ sets lasting several hours.
As Donato Dozzy said: "How I play as DJ is always variable. It all depends on the space and the people". I agree with this very much, it sums it all up pretty well.

▌III How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?
When I started thinking about what to propose during this mix, I immediately felt the urge to propose something that would take me to one of those nights when I play peak-time in some dark, smoky, sweaty club, during that hour when I like to push a little harder than usual.

Luca Bigote presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 155

For the next interpretation of Far Blue, we have Belgium's Kim Kenis who has carefully weaved together a selection of tracks that represents a more clubby perspective of the concept. Recollecting dance moves. The podcast was made so you could move, as the set was recorded on Kim's home setup when she came back from a night out in Amsterdam. The mood was there, the flow as well. 

We are very much looking forward to having Kim and her flow over on the 24th of May for Pintai x Far Blue at Borisov, but for now we'll be enjoying this glimpse of what's to come.

'Never stop moving'

Today we are happy to share SAL’s interpretation of Far Blue. 

With the mix, the German duo tells the story of a couple who slowly wake up from a dream-like state where everything was fine and realize that it's not working anymore. As the discussions become more intense and end in arguments, they break up and decide to go in different directions and move on, but not without continuing to appreciate each other. 

‘Let’s try to be grateful for what we had together’

Next up in the series we have Brighton based 'Fortune Sessions' founder and 'The Mine' resident @dub_athlete with a 2 hour texturally deep exploration through dreamy ambient, percussive techno & darker bass-heavy cuts.

A beautiful journey showcasing her versatility as a DJ, thank you Sophie <3

Firstly, thanks to Dj wiggles for the opportunity to contribute to the Kinetic series <3

The mix is experimental and long-form, exploring ambient meditative selections as well as darker bass-heavy and textured tracks from across the bpm spectrum, with several tracks warped far from their original bpm. The pace, mood and energy fluctuate. Some tracks emerge quickly, like intrusive thoughts or distractions, others are  given more time to breathe merging into the mix more subtly. This reflects the often unpredictable and challenging nature of losing and regaining a sense of presence and control. The mix has a symbolic cyclical nature, returning to particular percussive sounds and motifs as it progresses. 

Many philosophies motivate me to DJ including the belief everything is connected to the collective and sound exists at that intersection, it is a universally connecting force that exists at the boundaries where mind and body meet the world. All creative practices are intrinsically informed by the personal experiences of their creator/s. This imbues them with narrative and gives them the potential for human connection at these boundaries. 

The title of the mix “decompression” alludes to the pursuit of emotive release. It is a response to life at present - from harrowing world events, to personal challenges and introspection. I hope people enjoy and connect with it, perhaps finding some peace of mind by its end.

I started the Fortune Sessions nights in 2019. Before then I threw a lot of house parties. When I had to move into a house unsuitable for big gatherings I began looking for a venue. 

The Fortune of War is a venue located on Brighton beach. It has an intimate dance floor space indoors for winter events and then a big outdoor space for parties in summer. It’s well-loved by locals, with a friendly and laid-back vibe. For a grassroots night it felt like the perfect fit. 

The first session went well but then Covid hit just before the second event was due to happen. I was disappointed but it gave me time to develop the aim and concept behind the events. I also acquired a better sound system to power them. The second session finally took place in March 2022 and two years on I’m preparing for the 15th!

The Fortune Sessions have always had a multi-genre format with a commitment to diversity behind the decks, and a low-key unpretentious vibe. The venue being a pub rather than a club means that the events draw a crowd of dedicated ravers as well as people just out for a good time. Not everyone who enjoys dance music vibes with the club environment, so I’m glad to be able to platform niche genres in an unintimidating space to a wider audience. The nights being free entry also means its more accessible, giving the opportunity for new musical discovery. On a few occasions I’ve been asked “what IS this music??” by people on the dancefloor.

Join us for the 19th installment of the Herbarium mix series, as we dive into the innovative world of @cola-ren, an inspiring Chinese DJ and producer.
In her journey she leads us through a versatile selection of works ranging from dubby vibes through tribal rhythms to bass music touches and intriguing harmonies. 🌱👾
Also, keep an eye open as she will be the next one to release on our label ⭐

COLA REN chose the Banyan tree / Ficus Benghalensis for her musical trip. Here is why:
The sprawling canopy of the banyan tree, with its aerial roots reaching down to the earth, symbolizes the diverse landscape of my musical exploration within this mixtape. Much like the banyan's ability to thrive in various environments, from dense forests to urban landscapes, my mixtape traverses through a multitude of electronic music genres. From the deep, atmospheric beginnings reminiscent of the shaded undergrowth to the vibrant crescendos akin to sunlit clearings, the mixtape mirrors the adaptability and resilience of the banyan tree.
