As one of our most beloved Dirtybird Players, Justin Martin travels the world week in and week out putting smiles on people's faces, always with an even bigger grin of his own. With his sophomore album, 2016's "Hello Clouds", Justin proved that it's more than just fun and games – he's a seriously talented producer. 

His songwriting skills were on display with unique vocalists Charlotte OC, FEMME, and Lena Cullen, and his production chops were flawless on his solo tracks and collaborations with Kill Frenzy, Will Clarke, Ardalan and his brother Christian Martin.

Hello Clouds debuted at #1 on the iTunes Dance chart and Beatport's album chart, and hit #15 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums Chart the week after its release; these stats are a testament to the brilliance of the album and the way its diverse sounds resonated with fans both old and new.

While it can be argued that the original album was largely for listeners, there's no doubt that the Hello Clouds remixes are squarely aimed at DJs and dance floors the world over. Justin hand-picked the twelve artists who he thought would best reinterpret his work and, as with the original album, he's knocked it out of the park here.

Fellow Dirtybird Ardalan's epic version of the title track diverges from the basement vibes of Jakwob's mix, while the Christian Martin collab "Midnight" sees a new day courtesy of both party-starters Soul Clap and life-of-the-party Doorly.

Justin opened his Campout set with Walker & Royce's explosive mix of "The Feels", which also gets reworked by UK hero Low Steppa, and UK also gets another representation with Redlight’s mix of “Wet Cat"

South Africa's Kyle Watson turns the moody "Odyssey" into a peak-time monster, while Little By Little gives us both a vocal and dub mix of the equally sultry "Rabbit Hole." Fresh-faced producer Lenny Kiser leaves his mark on the Charlotte OC single as well. 

Rounding out the package is a bona fide jungle remix of "Back to the Jungle" by the drum-n-bass icon DJ Marky, along with a massive remix of the same tune from the one and only Chris Lorenzo.

Justin Martin - Back To The Jungle (DJ Marky Remix)[DIRTYBIRD]

@rolandson – Germany.

Ahoy there! The ship of awareness is taken by none other than our beloved Captain Rolandson, and it’s about to sail to ambient & downtempo waters. A journey called »vindspel« (Swedish for wind chimes).

“I name it »vindspel« ‘cause I love to stand in nature and feel the wind around my head. To listen what he whispers to me when he rushes through the trees and plants. Also, in the interplay with the sun or the rain, the wind is very important for nature and also for me. He brings silence into my thoughts, in my head. It feels like he took all my feelings & thoughts away and leave me with my inner peace”.

Rolandson is a soul we admire; a crafter of atmospheres, a bridge between worlds and a music research specialist. Connect your heart with his, in the end, it is the same heart.

Besides his work as DJ, he’s also head of Seasidetrip, a beautiful podcast series and label with plenty quality electronica. Rolandson is also resident DJ at Rituel Recordings Paris, and part of his beloved crews @slowereastside and @drosssel; the first, a collective with the purpose of spreading the world with downtempo and slowmotion music and the second, a supercollective / label made of great labels (inception-ish, yeah); @lump-rec, @casacaos, @rolandsons-seasidetrip, @slowereastside and @cosmic-awakenings are part of it, so you get the picture.

“Buscamos un sueño, creemos en algo. Viajamos en el tiempo y en el espacio. No es ningún secreto, todo está en ti”.

---------------------------

The geometry of the universe, expressed through the worship of the four directions, is one of the most important ideas of Aztec cosmology. The universe is conceived as the union of four constituent parts of the cosmos in a conceptual pivot through which heaven, the four directions of Earth and the underworld communicate along an axis mundi. Hence, the Aztec space was conceptualized as a vast horizontal disk surrounded by water and intersected by a perpendicular axis conceived as a series of layers.

The Aztecs integrated these concepts into architecture and urban design by skewing their sites clockwise from cardinal directions in order to record sunrises in autumn and winter and sunsets in spring and summer.
