2nd single from BEA, available for digital download on July 21.

Safe Ground

British-Nigerian-born, Berlin-based Richard Akingbehin (@richard-akingbehin) is behind many crucial projects in electronic music, and most of them revolve around his exploration of deep and dubby sounds. Not only is he a co-founder of the excellent Refuge Worldwide radio station, but he also runs the experimental label Kynant Record and has some key residencies when not headlining other cult clubs around the world. His label recently released the first new album from dub techno don Tikiman in almost 20 years and this summer the pair will be playing together again as part of a mini tour. 

Ahead of joining us at Dekmantel Selectors later this year, Richard recorded this week's mix for us in the Refuge Worldwide studio with the aim of showcasing what he is playing in the clubs at the moment. It takes in his signature blend of dub techno styles with music from the likes of Parallel 9, Tikiman, Dialog and Delano Smith. It's spacious and unhurried but slowly ramps up the pressure to get you on your toes and vibing to his ever-warm, supple and minimal rhythms.

Dekmantel Podcast 457 - Richard Akingbehin

This is the first episode of our Erker podcast, named after the word in Dutch for an 'architectural feature, referring to a bay window or a protruding oriel', whatever that is supposed to mean. To us, it is just a very cute, beautiful and highly impractical part of our living room. 

This is the first episode of Ozzy (@ozzy2016)  and me (Salman), recording from our living room. We haven't figured out if it is a podcast, music talkshow, or just me and Ozzy recording ourselves while we are chilling and listening to music. 

We are discussing some of our favourite music from our living room in Amsterdam. Lots of words, lots of tracks, bla bla bla hope you enjoy!

The second episode of our Erker podcast, which we record from our living room and erker, the Dutch word for an 'architectural feature, referring to a bay window or a protruding oriel', whatever that is supposed to mean. To us, it is just a very cute, beautiful and highly impractical part of our living room. 

In this episode Ozzy (@ozzy2016) and I (Salman), are trying to distract ourselves with great and energetic music to take us out of the Monday blues. May this bring a smile to your (Mon)day and let us know what you think :)

In the episode we refer to two mixes so we list them below for you to discover and enjoy!

Erker Podcast Episode 2

hey it's your computer

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST - VERSES FROM THE ABSTRACT (DESMOND REMIX)

nanai

This song is about the Salt Of The Earth People: Women.

It's this: we can get off in your clunky mess. We create portals in your mistakes. We are capable of perpetuating what's Good in an environment that's Deteriorating. We continue to synthesize beauty, and pleasure, and awe, and curiosity, and connection, in a world that tells us not to. Women are fabulous.

SALTWORKS was also inspired by a dear friend who runs his own Salt Factory in California. His view on the world, his respect for women and sensitivity and nature, his cheeky calm sacred spirit. Thank you Jeff I love you.

Produced and mixed by Liam Howe.
Written and composed by Bea and Liam.
