Hot off a fiery Rinse FM link up with Steel City Dance Discs and highlight sets at Let Them Eat Cake, Smalltown and HÖR Berlin, Melbourne/Naarm staple Bella Claxton today unveils her debut EP ‘My Joy’, out now via Made of Momentum. 

Announcing her arrival in signature Bella Claxton fashion, the DJ/producer pushes the tempo with thunderous precision on the opening ‘Can You Feel It’. Comprised of hypnotic vocal chants, cascading drums and a pulsating baseline, the Naarm upstart runs it up for a hard dance groove that sets the soul alight. The power continues on the title track as Bella delves into her soul bag for a vocal-driven thumper that’s primed for all lovers of ‘90s rave, with the hook ‘You can’t control my life’ helping to transcend listeners into the fourth, fifth, & sixth dimensions. The third cut, the much-awaited ‘Can’t Stop Me’, sees Bella push her production chops into overdrive as she encapsulates the momentum defining her meteoric rise to prominence. Rounding things out with the emotive ‘You And I’, Bella hurtles to the finish line with high-octane synths, vocal loops & an explosive percussive breakdown as she cements herself, and the ‘My Joy’ EP, as a force to be reckoned with on the global dance scene.

SFEER00005 - DJ FEELTOOMUCH (GER)

Paul Glemser, known as DJ Feeltoomuch, is a 26-year-old artist from Ludwigsburg, Germany. His journey into techno music began at the age of 16 when he attended a festival expecting EDM but encountered a variety of techno subgenres instead. The depth, versatility, and hypnotizing nature of the music, along with the vibrant community, hooked him instantly.

When selecting tracks for his sets, Paul goes through a meticulous process. Tracks that catch his attention on the first listen make it to his monthly playlist. He continually refines this list, removing tracks he doesn't love 100%. The final selection for purchase comes from these curated lists, ensuring they have the distinct "feeltoomuch-vibe," regardless of tempo or subgenre.

Preparation for gigs doesn't follow a perfect routine, but Paul values quiet moments to himself before a performance due to his introverted nature. As his own biggest critic, he needs to be calm and at peace before taking the stage.

Adapting to different venues and audiences is one of his strengths. He brings his entire structured library on various sticks and has honed his ability to read people and crowds well. He researches other artists on the lineup and the event itself, especially if unfamiliar with their work, and does a final "listening" at the venue. Curating his set spontaneously, he relies on his intuition and crowd reactions. He describes reading the crowd as an art of nonverbal communication, understanding people's emotions and the music that fits their vibe.

Influences throughout his musical career have been significant. One of his biggest inspirations is Kent (MRD), whom he met in March this year and described as an absolutely lovely person.

His favorite tracks at the moment include:

- "There She Goes (Ibiza Edit)" by Maruwa
- "Neverland" by David Löhlein
- "Put Me In Heaven With Your Touch (Lange Remix)" by Rhythm of Life
- "I Might Love You" by Sven Kruetzmann

Regarding the perfect BPM, Paul believes there isn't one definitive answer. He thinks the ideal BPM depends on the situation and the DJ's skill in reading the crowd, ensuring any BPM can be perfect and energize the audience.

One of the craziest things that happened during his set was at Lokschuppen Berlin, where the crowd partied so hard, hammering against a metal grille in front of the booth, causing a lightbulb above his mixer to break and screws to fall onto his decks.

Observing the evolution of the techno music scene, he notes constant changes, both good and bad, but believes every change contributes to collective learning and evolution.

Looking forward, Paul has exciting projects on the horizon, including a Boiler Room event in October. He hints at new music, great collaborations, and fantastic gigs coming soon.

For aspiring techno DJs, his advice is to keep going, keep learning, and never underestimate the importance of networking. He also emphasizes the importance of mental health and maintaining balance. Spending too much time on music can limit creativity just as much as not spending enough time on it.

Lastly, he expressed his excitement about recording a podcast and looks forward to performing at an SFEERBEHEER event for the first time.

Nike Helena - Deine Hände (Reaktor F Trance Remix)

This one was ehh. If its not liked it wont hurt me xD beats nice, just couldn't get it right and out of the 6 of that I got this one is the only one that semi stuck. the bad egg xD but I needed a fill in.

[Verse]
Ash fell like snow on the tangled trees
Hippies fled
Their chants in the breeze
Swamp Samurai
Victorious stride

Crocodile armor stained in the fight
Scars on his scales gleaming in the light
He walks alone
No wrong
No guide

[Chorus]
Back to the swamp
Where the water hums
Back to the swamp
Where the silence drums
His bungalow waits
In the shadowed glade
A hero's rest
Where legends fade

[Verse 2]
Mud whispers secrets
The reeds bend low
The path he treads
Only he can know
Every step a memory
Sharp as a blade

Lotus blooms watch
Their petals wide
Dragonflies dance
Like sparks they glide
A swamp that sings of the choices made

[Chorus]
Back to the swamp
Where the water hums
Back to the swamp
Where the silence drums
His bungalow waits
In the shadowed glade
A hero's rest
Where legends fade

Return to the Swamp.mp3

Get ready for the next generation sound
