Teenage Bad Girl - Keep Up With You (LIFELIKE Remix)

Maceo Plex - Your Style (Maya Jane Coles remix)

It's that time of the month again. Podcast time! Having surfed the huge waves of DIYNAMIC's rise to fame in the recent years, the Swiss duo of Adriatique made name for themselves trough always being consistent, while at the same time never becoming boring. Slowly making their way from the more poppy side of deep house to the more melancholic side that labels like Innervisions and Life and Death populate, it's exciting to hear what Adrian and Adrian manage to serve up. That's why we're really happy to have them on board for this month's SEKOIA Podcast.

Adrian:
''If you’ve been following Diynamic from the beginning and you respect us for a certain body of work, it might be possible that you have certain expectations with the next release. That doesn’t mean we will meet those expectations though, because we are artists and we want to explore the limits of our capabilities. So yes, if you’ve known Diynamic for a certain time, it might be possible that we will exceed your expectations with releases in the future.”

SEKOIA Podcast #024 - Adriatique

Closing Shot - Radio Edit (03:42)

Released back in 2006, 'Atlas' has reached its ten year anniversary and what better way to celebrate than with some shiny new remixes? From one duo another, Swiss pair Adriatique have swapped DIYmanic for devilish with their new re-imagining.

They've taken the techno bruiser and turned into a twinkly builder, one that keeps intact all of the components that make the original so good. The colossal main riff is still there, creating a nice amount of dread while tones flutter innocently in the background.



Premiere: Stephan Bodzin & Marc Romboy 'Atlas (Adriatique Remix)

We're super excited to have none other than the Spanish masterclass producer Pablo Bolivar for our latest premiere with his track 'Vanished' coming soon on none other than Sasse's very own Moodmusic Records

‘Vanished’ follows and takes things up a notch, boasting a trippy melodic Techno framework encompassing; a lush trance-esque main synth melody, dark progressive chord-stabs and a steady four-to-the-floor rhythm.

All in all this is a very confident and powerful release that showcases the Spaniard at his very best.

Release Date: 19. May. 2017

In late summer 2017, Nicolas Rada continued to cement a growing reputation with the twin-track "Sheremetyevo". Now returning to the EP, a pair of new remixes find French and Dutch talents in fine form as they take on partner track, "One-One Eleven Thousand".

From Sneek in northern Netherlands, Daniel van der Zwaag has been in immersed in music from an early age, part of a "musical family" that saw him familiar with piano and guitar from an early age. Using these skills as a firm foundation for a foray into electronic music, Daniel quickly found himself as an integral member of a tight-knit community of DJs and producers, centred around his hometown. Thus, a collaborative and fruitful partnership was formed with fellow Sneek resident, Ferdy, which has seen the duo celebrate a host of original releases including the outstanding "Raindrops" EP on Particles in early 2015, while February 2017's "My Polyphone Girl" saw a stellar quintet of tracks full of innovation, technique and craft. October 2017's "Lost in a Dream" EP for Oleeva Records marked a debut solo outing, continued now on Particles as Daniel van der Zwaag takes a typically impressive path with his penchant for intricate melodies and mature production. Creating a strong percussive framework, an impressive bassline progression lays the foundation for a swathe of counterpoint melodies to interlock against each other as strings and pads create an evocative and melancholy edge against fizzing open hi-hats. Using his creative flair to full effect, van der Zwaag has created an impressive and original remix.

An artist with a rich and varied history in the world of dance music, Rick Pier O'Neil is an iconic figure. An accomplished DJ from the age of 14, O'Neil was quickly thrust into the limelight during time as remixer for Sony BMG. Going on to work with a stellar cast that included Donna Summer, Lenny Kravitz and Ultra Nate, US Billboard Chart success followed as Rick Pier O'Neil became synonymous with high-calibre and successful dance music. Building on his US success, O'Neil then took the bold step to begin his own record label coinciding with a move to a more considered, underground dance sound that continues to provide him with success. Nearly one thousand production credits sit proudly against the Frenchman's name with almost 500 on his RPO and Garbage Records, while evidence of his sought-after production work can also be found on the catalogues of JOOF, Toolroom and Sudbeat. A regular on Particles with his collaborative work with Desaturate, the "Spirals" and "Crouched/Cursed" EPs have been notable highlights as have remixes of Kastis Torrau and Donatello and GMJ. Now returning to the label, The RPO remix of "One-One Eleven Thousand" retains the central bassline groove of the original while forming a deep new rhythm section around it. Clever use of Rada's melodic elements filter into proceedings as the track evolves, while new production material gives the remix a rich new feel.

With two outstanding new remixes from Rick Pier O'Neil and Daniel van der Zwaag, "One-One Eleven Thousand" is cleared for take-off.

Part of the wealth of Central American talent filtering into the underground dance community, Hot TuneiK continues to rise the to the upper echelons of the scene with his unique sonic identity. Now making his Proton Music debut, the twin-track "Revival" commands attention.

Based in the north-western municipality of the sprawling Mexico City, Diego Carr has risen out of the Mexican heat to become a highly respected and sought-after part of the global underground dance scene through his Hot TuneiK soubriquet. A regular across the clubs of his home city, Carr has carved out a sizeable niche with his impressive brand of tech and deep house with a sprinkling of progressive thrown in for good measure. Furthermore, with his Hookah cub nights and record label, the Hot TuneiK name continues to reverberate across the clubs of Mexico with guest appearances from such leading lights as Kastis Torrau, Donatello and Madloch.

A fledgling production career that began in April 2012 with a debut release on House Tribe Records has subsequently blossomed into a plethora of appearances on some of the finest modern labels that equates to over a double century of production credits to date. Thus, Balkan Connection, Soundteller and 76 Recordings have all been responsible for furthering the Hot TuneiK name with a compelling blend of remix and original production material.

A regular on Particles since July 2015's debut remixing Omar El Gamal, October 2017's "Erase and Rewind" EP has been a notable highlight as have remixes of Idham and Roger Martinez earlier in the year. Moreover, a remix of Andre Sobota at the back end of the year marked an impressive debut on Proton Music as we welcome back Hot TuneiK and his inspired "Revival" EP.

The opener sees "Memories" scintillate with beautifully sculpted percussive rhythms while a collage of melodic textures weaves their way across the stereo spectrum in easy fashion. Built upon a seismic bass groove that rumbles in the chest cavity, "Memories" evolves beautifully as Vangelis inspired strings provides a soundtrack that would grace any Ridley Scott science fiction epic, coupled with its dramatic club groove.

The title track retains the strong rhythmic foundations of its predecessor as a rippling arpeggio emerges drenched in delay and reverb. Twinkling across the mid-range, a glorious bass-led groove provides an aural anchor for free-flowing melodies to coruscate elegantly across the near-twelve-minute offering. Rising and falling with ease throughout and reaching a head-shaking zenith in the third movement, "Revival" is a masterpiece of understated sonic artistry.

A twin-track "Revival" sees Hot TuneiK's fortunes continue to rise on Proton Music.
