"Some might know me - Frits Wentink - for my contributions to the Wolf Music recordings and Detroit Swindle’s Heist label, or even as the label owner of Bobby Donny. What is probably unknown is that I have been releasing music from close friends on another vinyl label called Will & Ink. The focus for this outlet is mainly techno, but with a playful and forward thinking approach."

"We bring you an all encompassing approach to the many moods and styles of dance music, in all its various forms. An open minded outlook that correlates closely with the ethos of our label. We hope to voice an increasingly important message: that the music is the focus, and the title or artist should always fall secondary to prioritising quality." - Ell & Sandy, @banoffee-pies

"This mix gave me the opportunity to explore my vaults of ambient and dance music, tangentially related to the more song-oriented world of my album Fragmenta. My artistic intention is to create a space in which one can both move and meditate." - @rioux

To be honest, it's criminal that New Jersey native, Flamingosis, hasn't made a Boiler Room appearance yet. The now Brooklyn-based producer has been on our radar for a while, most notably via Sean Keating's regular office stereo plays — this year's future funkified 'Bright Moments' and the hazy brilliance of 'Pleasure Palette' from 2015 especially.

Both of those releases nonchalantly tread the tightrope between hip hop and disco/funk; often smooth and late summer afternoon-themed with the analogue punch of boom bap.

As he's noted in his description, this 50min blend comes after a similalry warm experience in more ways than one. Upfront 089 is blessed with incredible music that is custom-made for afternoon and late evenings spent horizontal. Gritty funk/rap knockers are shock absorbed by downtempo (sometimes saxophone-laced) jams from Flamingosis and his clearly talented group of friends.

I felt nostalgic, going though all my old techno records that I don't play anymore so I did a almost 2 hour set with precious gems from the nineties / early 2000's.
Hope you enjoy this one, created with techno love and care :-)

Under the alias of Carsten Jost hides none other than David Lieske, co-founder of the seminal deep-house bastion that is Dial Records. A native of the red-brick-dressed Hamburg, David couldn’t have wished for a better school than Germany’s best-known disco-chalet, i.e. the mighty Golden Pudel, where he and longtime partner in crime Lawrence would get to decisively forge their unique sensibility whilst learning the ins and outs of DJing.

As a master of the decks, Carsten Jost covers a wide span of hypnotic house music as much as he enjoys traversing more nuanced spectrums of leftfield electronics and further melancholy-drenched ambient. If the majority of his productions were originally issued back in the early two-thousands, 2017 marked an important milestone in David’s own artistic career with the release of his second album, ‘Perishable Tactics‘, featuring material new and old, including some previously released tracks from his ‘Atlantis’ EP as well as his timeless classic, ‘Love’, originally part of a 2007-issued split 12″ alongside Efdemin.

Within two decades of faultless curation and body-and-soul dedication to their craft, it’s safe to say Dial has become one of the most dependable and respected record labels in the world of electronic music, laying the foundations to a sound catalogue unlike anything else, and which very few out there could ever boast bringing to life: Efdemin, John Roberts, Pantha Du Prince, Roman Flügel, Portable, DJ Richard, Christian Naujoks, James K… the list is long.

And so goes the list of key clubs and events David has graced over the years, with past performances at Zur Klappe, Paloma Bar, Griessmuehle, ://about blank, Panorama Bar, Public Records in New York, REX Club in Paris, Golden Pudel and PAL in Hamburg, JAX in Amsterdam, Jaeger in Oslo, Oval Space and Corsica Studios in London.
