In one way or another for all of us there is a person so deeply knotted to Leipzig since our very beginnings in this town that it's kinda impossible to imagine us without his influence as a role model on so many levels: housemusic, dance moves, deejaying, doin' your own thing, kindness, and most important: as a friend. We talk about Alex Neuschulz aka Sevensol.

Part of the allmighty Manamana, part of Kann Records, Long Vehicle, Soft Skills, discogs business angel and in case you didn't know he's also a private investigator working with all human senses to complete his rogue missions, Just call 1800 – Neuschulz Ermittelt.

Three years ago we asked him to record a mix for our podcast series but for the first and only time we also suggested a musical order: a special mix of Sevensols own definition of Acid-House. To temporarily restore the countless feelings of joy we had when out of the blue he dropped this one chicago tune you almost forgot but instantly remembered why you once fell in love with house music. 
Here we are now and honestly, there were some moments in the last years we thought it would never happen. But damn it, it was worth every second waiting.

Thank you Ali for your music. And everything else!

YSPS #035 - Sevensol

This mix is a narrowed-down electronic music version of the Golden Record which was a collection of different sounds that represented Planet Earth. N.T.C is trying to blend different styles, tempos from different epochs of electronic music into one consistent mix. Including everything from New-Wave over trancy or dubby tunes to Bass Music, House and Techno from different parts of the planet. Spanning from the late 80ies to 2021. 

This mix will take on a journey, for sure!

final part of my "in the spirit" mix series

Oscar Schubaq - In The Spirit [Vol. 3]

After witnessing one of their sets at Amsterdam institution @breakfast-club-music-1 last year, we felt an instant urge to invite Caim (@caim-records) to our mix series.

While Caim is a recent project, its members Tommy Kornuijt and Mark Antoni have been active in Amsterdam’s scene for years as independent DJ’s, most notably with their residency for the Breakfast Club where they have become known for extended after-hour sets. Last summer they released a first EP on their self-titled label Caim Records, with a second release scheduled for early 2019.

Our first mix of 2019 by Caim is a perfect reflection of their sound: Timeless and with a hypnotizing groove, it finely treads the line between organic techno and rolling breaks.

Patterns of Perception 44 - Caim

This month we are excited to have a mix from DJ and general all round top chum, Slagbat. 

In the mix are a selection of records he was planning to play in the backroom at Tokyo's Feelin' Pretty night which sadly has had to be postponed until "after the apocalypse" so he wanted to put together something that showcased records planned for that set, a little less heads down rolling and a bit more... backroomy.

Gated Podcast 15 // Slagbat // May 2020

My latest Voyage de Lux radio show is now available for streaming on the 1BTN clouds. As usual this was performed live on air in 1 take, features brand new & much older releases, and spans the electro, broken, deep techno and electronica spectrum, this time starting off with some slow summery vibes around 116 bpm, building things up steadily, and ending with more club-friendly 133 bpm acid tinged electro sounds.

It features a stunningly beautiful opening track from Aboutface, deepness from the latest Appian Sounds release, a golden oldie released on Kinetix in the early 90s, a couple of unique sounding tracks from DARK MATTERS, one of the mysterious AC-EXP cuts, an older deep house cut on Finale Sessions, something taken from Jeff Mills’ latest ‘Every Dog Has It’s Day’ LP (much more to come from him on that tip), the latest Schatrax record, vintage deepness from Bovill, a couple of cuts from the more recent releases on both Electrix and Cultivated Electronics, 2 cuts from the beautiful second artefact on ICON OF DESIRE, something a bit older from Orson Wells, one of Paul Hierophant’s limited Dubs, a trippy Jonno & Tommo track on Verdant, Alex Jann’s unique sounding vibes on Censor. Music. , the prolific and sublime Lost Trax, 2 trax from the brilliant debut release on Permutation, the latest Ferox from Mihail Petrovski, the brilliant new Shinra on Craigie Knowes, an old Scape One, a Microthol remix of Keith Tucker on Puzzlebox, something on Dream Diary and an old one from Arovane that I just cannot stop playing.

A big thank you  to Ben Kelly, Russ Gabriel, Al Blayney, the guys at Mint Tea Records,  Andrea Di Maggio, Miles Sagnia, William Nastri, Phil Cultivated, Andy Green, Philip Galvin Jnr-PGJ, and Olsi Rama for kindly passing me the records or Test Pressings. I rarely play files to be honest, so I really appreciate it when labels are kind enough to think of me

Voyage de Lux 2020

Alex Downey - Voyage de Lux - 20.05.2020

Approaching house and techno with a dubbed out edge, @el_choop’s unique sound takes DNA from timeless techno classics and enhances it with the refined disciplines of today. With an arsenal of digital and analogue hardware, this hybrid sound consolidates old and new into something altogether different.
With a healthy back catalogue of vinyl releases on @etui-records and @default-position El Choop aka Harvey Jones - has already made a solid contribution to the UK and europe’s techno landscape. Nor has this contribution gone unnoticed - a past residency at Corsica Studios and a regular slot at the legendary Freerotation Festival, combined with the support from artists such as @mikeschommer, Sven Wiesemann, @andrey-pushkarev and @thor_thule_records shows Jones is on a solid trajectory.
Stay Rave with #R13.
