Kiman opens proceedings with the self titled EP 'Cassiopeia' - A track that starts with a warm glow building to an ethereal theme. Accompanied by beautiful vocals & infectious chords, the laidback drums and smooth breakdown, Kiman's cool downtempo vibes works its magic
'Reversable' - the 2nd original track from the Italian, utilizes a deep groove as the foundation, underpinned by smooth synth chords that gradually ease their way to the summit. Unified by a deep kick drum and dusky atmospheric emotion, the composition climaxes by adding recurrent percussive elements and soft soaked melodies that come together to create a structured sphere of sonic satisfaction.

On Remix duties we welcome Minorah - a clinical young talent to emerge in the scene of late, he has enjoyed steady releases on Labo T & Sinners. His 'rework' of Cassiopeia is a musical journey, unified by a warm kick drum and atmospheric emotion, the track is a concoction of warm, deep bass and grooves, swirling pads, textured layers and stunning effects.

Title: Between Shadows & Lights
Label: Steyoyoke
Format: Digital
Release Date: September 10th, 2021

"Where words fail, music speaks"... this is a central tenet for Steyoyoke keystone and melodic techno virtuoso Clawz SG. And how this music speaks! For his 5-year anniversary with the label that defined Ethereal Techno, the french producer once again delivers torrents and colourful kaleidoscopes of emotion. 

This is “Between Shadows & Lights” LP, where uniquely original and immaculately polished sound design opens the doors, letting his unmistakable sounds fill the room from the first bar to the last. He is a gifted storyteller and an undisputed master of the analog synth domain; evidence the deep yet gentle bass growl, to fountains of sawtooth harmony, intricate layers weave and envelop, yet each waveform is as clearly defined and as pure as crystal. 

This is a personal journey that lifts the spirit ever higher, to stratospheric levels of elation, souls of both artist and listener being exposed and transported to a far dimension of bliss. Whether a fan of the artist or the genre, do not miss this very special release, which will also be available as a limited double vinyl featuring a bonus track.

Rhythmic Reverie: Exploring Pandhora's Captivating ‘Choices’

In a world where life often confronts us with challenging decisions, French duo Pandhora has ventured deep into the human psyche to craft their latest release, ‘Choices’. This three-track EP encapsulates the emotional turmoil of facing life-altering choices when neither option appears perfect, and yet, one must push forward through the pain.

The original track, ‘Choices’, is a Melodic Techno gem that effortlessly combines progressive beats with powerful, emotionally charged vocoded vocals. From the very first beat, listeners are drawn into a sonic journey that takes them on a rollercoaster ride of self-reflection and introspection. The duo skillfully blends intricate melodies with a driving rhythm that keeps the listener hooked from start to finish. The emotional depth conveyed through the vocals adds an intriguing layer of introspection to the track, making it a standout piece in the Melodic Techno genre.

Rafael Cerato's remix of ‘Choices’ takes the original in an entirely new direction. His Indie Dance rendition infuses the song with a groovy and dynamic energy that makes it nothing short of a dancefloor banger. Cerato's remix injects a fresh vitality into the track, making it impossible to resist the urge to move. As the remix unfolds, listeners are greeted with infectious beats and a pulsating rhythm that adds a whole new dimension to the emotional core of ‘Choices’. Cerato's ability to transform the track while retaining its essence is a testament to his prowess as a remixer in the electronic music scene.

Besides all of this magic, Iorie's remix of ‘Choices’ takes a hypnotic and introspective approach, providing a stark contrast to the original. The downtempo beats create a mesmerizing atmosphere that draws the listener into an andino-trance-like state. The growly bass adds the necessary depth and intensity to the remix, creating an unforgettable immersive sonic experience. Iorie's reinterpretation of ‘Choices’ showcases the versatility of the track, proving that it can be appreciated in various moods and settings. His ability to craft a remix that delves deep into the listener's psyche is a testament to the Berlin producer’s unique style and talent.

‘Choices’ EP stands out as a testament to electronic music's ability to convey powerful emotions and narratives. Each track in this release offers a unique perspective on the complexities of life's choices. Pandhora's ability to evoke such raw emotions through their music solidifies their position as trailblazers in the electronic music scene.

Gabriel Slick - Away From Me (Extended Dub)

Thanks for checking out my music! 

These are all original tracks composed and produced/engineered/played by Skender Makota.

My goal is perform my own music LIVE and this is, among other reasons, why I post all of my songs here, without worrying too much if its bumping, downtempoish or even non-electronic exclusively. 
This is also why I happened to end up with many versions of a single song, hence all the playlists with various mixes/versions I recorded over the years.

I do not discriminate when it comes to music, so my style varies wildly, from melodic ambient to driving techno, to Chicago house *which I consider my default state*, over to trip hop, drum n bass and especially oldskool jungle etc. 
I personally have been playing piano since 5years old, and love playing jazz piano, bass and guitar. These instruments, in addition to quite a few synthesizers, I also use in live settings, where I recreate these songs or more specifically, I remix them from the scratch and live. 

This way, my every live performance is producing a different mix of a given song, which is awesome, fun to do and made possible using many factors/tools, namely Ableton Live, analog console with multiple outputs etc..
While I personally (as a sound engineer and total gear slut) love geeking out on musical gear, when it comes to playing live, technical side is irrelevant.  
Getting the groove right, having fun doing it and making people dance is a primary objective! 

This is why I rarely, if ever, cared to prepare my show/music ahead of the show, then often freak out cause I did not, but then rock the show by winging it and everyone's happy..
Though newer tech and control is a Godsend to those performing el music live, conveying the emotional message, the feel and the idea behind the song or a complete show/set to the audience - all the while maintaining the melodic theme, is how I approach each show.  
I also adjust the sound depending on the mood and setting, audience response etc.

*** ADVICE to those brave souls who dare download my hi res 44k16bit cd quality traxx, and play them in their own DJ sets - as you can see I like lower BPM's by default, but nobody's stopping you to pitch the bitch up, I always thought that default state of a song should be slower so as to allow it to BREATHE, then go crazy if you want depending on how fucked up your audience (or you) is..
CAAAN YOU dig it***

IF IT MOVES, THEN IT GROOVES!

Sourced from yesterday, merged with tomorrow, and I got to where I am today. 
I try to not restrict myself in the world of electronic music composition and creation by doing my staying within the confines of the sub-genre expectations, lingering in the (boring) safe zone, the beaten path which in my view is a waste of time and zzzzzz, 
I try to push the envelope and reinvent. 
I also like meeting, collaborating and otherwise hanging out with people who share this view, not just music and art, but science, education, life and social acceptance, where we truly are equal cause we truly feel that way. 

Trend followers are not worth my time, neither am I worth theirs.. 
but if you want to reinvent, and have fun in life doing it by exploring options in electronic music creation... then by all means - we're already friends!

PS. While I never relied on music as my source of income, nor would I allow myself to shape my sound in order to sell the final product, get a record deal or whatever. I believe doing that would one day end up with me hating music and blaming the job for it, and I def don't want that to happen, cause I have nothing else left in life to look forward to and truly enjoy doing, but music.
I can still take a tip or donation, which I would use strictly for adding more awesome sounds to my studio and deliver back the product... but no worries, I am glad you gave me your TIME to listen to my music, which is priceless, and I appreciate that. 
Drop me a note letting me know if you liked it, I really want to know what people think, and I prefer people who are NOT musicians, DJ's producers etc, just regular consumers, cause their opinion is unbiased, and I want to know what it is, regardless if its bad or good, I take this feedback and keep learning as I go in life. 
Thanks again, and keep he beat alive wherever you are!
