Staff Picks - February 2021

Micha Lensink w/ Charlton – 17th February 2021 – selected by Carlos

My show of the month must be ‘Micha Lensink w/ Charlton’. Apart from being great DJs, they are always fun guests to have at the container. Their two-hour B2B show, a blend of many club classics, definitely got me nostalgic for the dance floor. Would be great to hear more of them together at Café Bakeliet in the future. Charlton even sang along to the lyrics. What a shame that the mic was not on, could have resulted in some unique covers!

Although rhythmic and dance floor worthy, this track’s primary form takes on the immersion of a Transcendental Meditation. With a driving mantra present throughout, it works through different pockets of your mind; surfacing, making sense of and setting free buried thoughts, while always returning to the propulsive sedation of this motif.

Since debuting modestly in 2014 under the alias Kaboko, Lazy Pluto has juggled a diverse array of inspirations, including early-’80s funk and electro, art rock, raw and classicist house, and Dubstep, while putting a fresh spin on the forms to decayed, disorienting effect.

“Ambient music is something that can be used as a tool, I’ll often use ambient music for meditative purposes, you can create such an interesting emotional sensation with this genre, it’s beautiful and relatively unexplored.”
