afrika burn

This is Africa's Burning Man...the event is held in the Karoo desert, where about 10 000 people share a unique experience

Few words can explain the AfrikaBurn experience. I still need time to reflect on what just happened the past week and bring feelings to words...

A massive thanks to a great family of friends for such special moments... as well as Michael Kennedy and his team for a mammoth effort of bringing  "The Spirit Train " to life and trucking 5 coaches and a tractor through a tough terrain into the desert ! Well done guys, everyone appreciated the great line ups and no doubt was one of the most popular at Afrikaburn.

Until AfrikaBurn 2016

Be Svendsen gets set to release the enchanting Twilight in Tankwa on Rebellion following his successful remix of NU’s Man O To on sister label Crosstown Rebels. Remix treatment comes courtesy of Berlin native Nico Stojan. 
 
Twilight in Tankwa is a mystical and musical journey that Be Svendsen explains “is the result of decades long intimate relationship with outdoor rhythmic dance experience. The foundation of the track is rooted in a synth hook from the early 50's. The vocal, inspired by a barbershop quartet, work to give it the character of a true desert hymn."
 
The remix comes from Nico Stojan who twists a fresh melody into the original over driving undertones. Having honed his musical style as resident at the infamous Bar25 in Berlin, he has also released on labels like Highgrade, Connaisseur and Upon You records.
 
Equally alluring, second original track Scarecrow was brought about by AYAWAKE who wrote and recorded the vocals. He generously passed on to Be who honored it as the crown work of his cowboy-tech-tribute to the Ennio Morricone soundtracks of the late 60's. 
Be Svendsen aka Lasse Bruhn Svendsen broke through into the international scene in 2014 with a series of productions and enchanting live performances at some of the most avant garde places to play on the earth, such as BOOM festival, Fusion, Burning Man, Symbiosis, Rainbow Serpent and AfrikaBurn.

HOSH's fryhide label is back with a first EP that is from an artist other than the boss himself. That artist is Tim Engelhardt, a fast rising German wunderkind who serves up four fantastic tracks that prove why he is going to go on to big things. It is a great signing by H.O.S.H. and one that makes another standout EP on his young but impressive label. 

Engelhardt is currently riding high off the success of his recent album, Moments of Truth, at just 19 years of age. It follows five years of essential tracks on other outlets and all of these have proved he has an emotive deep house and tech sound. Far from just functionality, club tunes, his music is fully formed with real vision and musicality. Says the artist of the release, 'this is a chronicle of what I've been experiencing over the past two years; the transformation from someone who is interested in music and technology to a full solo artist and performer where my reality has become playing music and producing tracks.'

Opening the EP is masterpiece that is Reality, a slow burning tune with wavy beats and carefully constructed melodies that are sombre and tender. It's full of unexpected twists and turns, clever engineering and an arrangement that shows real artistry. As the beats shuffle on you get sucked into the deep emotions and lost amongst the gentle percussion. Then comes Heart Resonance, another moody track with lush chords and pads laid over soft but engaging drums. It's a majestically magical affair that really cooks up some exquisite melodies. 

We Didn't Talk For A While gets a little darker, with more driving drums and rumbling bass that is filled with tension and suspense, even a little menace. Again the chords are well crafted and help stand the track out, then Henriette gets more loose and freaky for the late night hours, with skewed synths and miniature explosions of cosmic colour keeping you locked. 

This is a beautifully crafted EP that marks another great release on this essential and well formed label.

Honored to receive this weapons produced by the duo Innellea, and released this month on the Bog label's : Atlant Recordings <3 

PREMIERE : Innellea - Napoleon [Atlant Recordings]
Release Date : 18/12/2017

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

About the track : 
An amazing first year for ATLANT draws to a close by unleashing our secret dance-floor weapon in the form of ‘Napoleon’ by Augsburg || Munich duo and rising talent Innellea.

We could not be be happier with this release, which is so big it comes as a single A side. ‘Napoleon’ is the only cut you’ll need to bring a comforting glow and warm you through the winter season.
Starting with echoed organic 4/4 percussion the mesmerising ‘Napoleon' theme emerges with building intensity as the beats get heavier. The story develops further with the infectious weaving arpeggiated synth line drawing you deep into its lair, before exploding in releases of dramatic tension. This one has a melody that will be in your mind long after the final bars have ended, making you yearn for more.

‘Napoleon’ has already been dropped live with tremendous impact by Dynamic impresario Solomon at Warung Beach, and ATLANT label boss BOg in Cologne, London and Lille.

Afrika Burn 2019 @ Cobracabana ( Wednesday night )

This was my set at Loki on Wednesday night from 11 - 1 am . Having spent 3 days at the burn, musically I had heard so much Melodic House, Afro House & Playa tech style music. So when planning this set I decided to go in another direction and play a house , tech house & a funky house set with an old school undertone and a familiar feel. I did feel a degree of risk as to if it would work or not. To my delight it POPPED and I had an amazing audience of a few hundred people jamming to this set for over two hours. Thank you Loki for having me - Hope you all enjoy this set.

Dear Spirit Train Family,
After spending months of preparation for AfrikaBurn, the big day had come, I was gonna play my first gig on The Spirit Train. It was Monday evening and we had just finished three intense and fun days of building our own stage and camp. Not that many people had arrived yet but all my camp buddies showed up to support me. I needed that cause I was quite nervous in front of such a big crowd. The Spirit Train crew also boosted my confidence. After the first track I ended up in a flow and before I knew my set was over. So many dancing burners I saw, it was beautiful and I finally felt back home again. This was the start of what was going to be one of the best weeks of our lives.
Much Love 
Ruud
