Bside Incoming: Estimulo

We’re delighted to touch back down in Berlin to hear from one of the city’s most stalwart deep-house supporters. A two-hour exploration into the collection of a man searching for the soul in all things electronic music. We give the warmest of welcomes to Esti, known widely as Estimulo.

@estimulo

Esti’s entry into music was one of intense curiosity: chopping up radio recordings from a young age and assorting them into mock radio shows of his own. Borne from an unquenchable thirst for groovy electronic sounds, and after becoming infatuated by “The Big Beat on Fridays”, a radio show active in 1988, he set upon a quest to collect as many house records as possible. This emphatic drive led to his dabbling with pirate FM radio in 1990, when finally, Esti could broadcast the sounds he loved with his neighbourhood. Though sadly, his childhood dream was cut short by the authorities soon after...

Esti, however undeterred, soldiered on with a smile, and the spoils of his devotion are evident in the thirty years that have elapsed since then. He now operates a long-standing record label and internet-radio show, Mixomat Recordings and the EstimuloShow respectively, and has performed in some of the most revered institutions in Europe: namely Tresor, Berghain and ADE. These such outings have also led to performances alongside esteemed acolytes like Gerd Janson, Fantastic Man, Shed and I-F. 

For someone with such a colourful career in electronic music, you’d expect his early influences and musical ventures to reflect in his Bside episode, and they certainly do. Staying true to his innate connection with deep electronic sounds, Esti guides us through curious downbeat IDM, emotive house and Italo, woozy two-step, and juddering, euphoric breaks. Proving to us that he can indeed find the soul in everything.

You always can guarantee with a release from Dubbyman that not only will you get music with gorgeous depth and warmth, but also an EP that is versatile and generous as he often includes other musicians and producers in his projects. The Alpha Transmissions EP a long-awaited project is no exception with Dubbyman bringing his deep house and laid-back breakbeat style to Inner Shift Music. To our delight it also features label owners Brad P and Rai Scott. We last saw Dubbyman (along with Above Smoke) on Inner Shift on remix duties for the .Mahal. Space Space release where Inner Shift and Deep Explorer teamed up for 'the joint venture'. This versatile EP with its mix of deep house and downtempo breakbeat tracks includes contributions from talented musicians, collaboration, and remixes. 

As a bonus there are also two additional remixes of the A2 track 'In the Space' from label owners Brad P and Rai Scott respectively that are available as digital bonus tracks. If you buy the EP from the label’s website or Bandcamp page, the full digital EP with the two extra tracks is included.

Voyage Series 05: Andy Hart

Over the coming spring and summer months Pacific Rhythm will be releasing a handful of cassette tapes comprised of live recordings, demos, and other moments in time we felt needed to be committed to something physical and shared with the world. 

Our first cassette is a soon to be legendary recording from ESB, recorded live at Deep Blue Studios during a Dance Opportunity with LNS in the winter of 2017. The recording is just under an hours worth of ebullient Machine Funk that drifts effortlessly through his unique brand of melodic house with tinges of Balearic influence and classic West Coast energy. 

You can expect to hear more from ESB on Pacific Rhythm in the near future but for now please enjoy this essential sampling of one of Canada's most unstated and exciting producers.

Available on limited edition cassette tape through our online store, Bandcamp, and Seance Centre.

Havent done one of those italian mixes in a little while, so here it is, long overdue.

The objective was to pick records that have not been reissued in the ItaloHouse Reissue Mania that has been going on as of late.

I hope you enjoy this trip through mediterranean vibes of the early 90s.
