Warning #80 Violetta B2B Lakkes

DJ Merlín is an Electronic music producer based in Amsterdam. As an alumnus of composition and sound design, he has been sculpting a style that can be characterized as hybrid and animalistic. This style aims to stir up a wilder and darker side of the dancefloor, creating a sonic ambience of experimental yet accessible rhythms and riffs.

Next to being an artist, DJ Merlín is the programmer of Amsterdam collective Kraft.und.licht . Whether it's deep in the Amsterdam forest or in the hull of an old freight ship, they bring together the right ingredients of audience and artists.

"A hybrid mix that contains new music, my most precious vinyl gems, and some unreleased tunes of myself."

Boris Divider - Live At The Loft, February, 2004

A live recording from vinyl only session with Kotki @ ABO, Kyiv. 

We warmed up the event with deeper tunes and added a pinch of trance and a dash of techno.

Feedback from a fellow music journalist:

'This set is slightly different than all the previous ones. It is very lyrical, atmospheric, sensual. And - as always - it's great to feel the intrigue of what awaits next, very unexpected turns in genres and moods. And I emphasize that these turns, although unexpected, happen naturally and easily. 

I really like the whole palette of moods in this mix - there is some isolation and detachment, but there is also a certain cheerful lightness when there is no drama but enjoyment of the moment and those with whom you share it. There are a lot of "deeper" fragments in which not much seems to be happening, but the sound itself, its fullness, and its atmosphere are as high as possible, and no unnecessary movement distracts from them. 

I often get lost while listening to music, wondering, "What genre is this?" "What does it sound like?" And at some point, it doesn't matter at all because the main thing is that it's engaging and diverse — and this movement from one mood to another is very aesthetic; it has smoothness and details that I, as a musician, find very interesting to listen to (decipher).

Also, at 1:43, I felt like I was in the Closer club, in his best times.'

Our next mix comes from a returning guest and a key part of the On Ro extended family, No Moon. Alongside iconic releases for Mechatronica, Craigie Knowes and Salt Mines, he has recently launched his own label, releasing club slammers on the No Moon Mean Series and warm house, IDM and ambient on the No Moon Cute Series. He's a fantastic DJ and someone we're always happy to run into, and we're very pleased to be able to present you this live recording. Some words from the man himself:

I'm very pleased to be able to share with you the recording from my set at Tag, Chengdu. I was meant to play for 3 hours but the recording ends abruptly at quite a high moment due to the club getting shut down by the police. Needless to say that was quite a memorable experience in itself and I also expected not to get a copy of the recording after that happened. But yeah such an honor to play there, and really happy to have the recording to remember it with as well.

Some background, I recently got the opportunity to travel around China and play in a bunch of different cities. The trip was pretty intense playing in 9 clubs in 3 weeks, which is also a very big difference to the amount I have been typically playing in the last couple of years. One of the things I've always considered important in DJ sets is improvising and not just playing something pre-prepared, but when you only play a couple of times a year this becomes really difficult. So yeah it was really great to have enough gigs in a short time to try and play like this again. Tag was the 6th show of 9 so by this point in the trip I felt really comfortable. The recording is full of new and old classics, blends and little snippets I'd worked out over the course of the tour, and even a rare instance of me playing a No Moon track. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
