The Producing duo has been pretty busy these past years, releasing multiple projects on such labels as @craigie-knowes and @gimmeabreakrecords. Their five tracks logically present a tasty cross section of contemporary breakbeat.

Proper Charts 111 presented by @erlasleepsdreams

It's all about the vibe. Pretty cliche to be sure, but there is depth to this thought. Because going out, be it to have some drinks with friends or to shake that booty all night long, needs more than a “Just music and the rest will work out” mentality. erla sleeps (he/they) embraces the thought of vibe and community in an effort to offer more than just a nice evening but embraces very much the idea of comfort and the ability to be present (whatever that means for you). After a longer break they are slowly dipping their toes again into the music scene of Leipzig.

Proper Charts 113 presented by @morrek

Episode 113 comes to you via Dj Carroum, who's been based in Leipzig since 2017 and is a member and co-founder of @kollektiv-pvc.

Today, he continues to reflect these roots, as Dj CARROUMs sets are driven by a passion for rolling rhythms, layered with electrifying synths and basslines that blend the vibes of old and new goa, psy, and progressive sounds.
