Frohes neues Jahr

2021 beginnen wir mit dem in Belgien lebenden Künstler Mike Deem.
Als Inhaber von Aarden Records ist er ein einflussreicher Teil der Hypnotic Techno Scene.
Mit seinen Gefühl für atmosphärische und dunkle Soundstrukturen, melancholische Acid melodien und Basslines baut er einen Spannungsbogen die durch hypnotischen Techno führen.
Er ist immer auf der Suche nach Erneuerung und nutzt gerne neue talentierte Produzenten, um seine Sets zu färben.
Mit seinem aktuellen Hybrid-Setup, das Traktor, einen Mixer, einige Hardware-Elemente und Live-Intermezzos mit seinem Tr-8 enthält, verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen Kunst und purer Unterhaltung.
Seine Mixing-Sessions geben dem Hörer ein psychedelisches Gefühl von Ekstase und Zufriedenheit.

Die in Tiflis lebende Ärztin Sophie Sharashidze entwickelt seit einigen Jahren ihre Fähigkeiten in der Zellfotografie unter dem Mikroskop.
Ursprünglich eine Zytologein, vermischte Sophie ihre fotografischen Fähigkeiten mit ihrer zehnjährigen medizinischen Erfahrung und führte zu einer perfekten Verbindung ihrer beiden Leidenschaften. 
Ihre Arbeit ermöglicht es ihr, ständig neue Zellen und Bildgestaltungstechniken zu erforschen und lädt den Betrachter ein, die innere Welt des Menschen auf vielfältige Weise zu sehen. 
Ihre Fotografien wurden erfolgreich auf verschiedenen Ausstellungen in Georgien vertreten, darunter drei Einzelausstellungen.

Happy New Year

In 2021 we will start with the Belgian-based artist Mike Deem! 
As the owner of Aarden Records, he is an influential part of the Hypnotic Techno scene.
With his sense of atmospheric and dark sound structures, melancholic acid melodies and basslines, he builds a tension arc that leads through hypnotic techno.
He is always looking for renewal and likes to use new talented producers to color his sets.
With its current hybrid setup, which includes a tractor, a mixer, some hardware elements and live interludes with its Tr-8, the line between art and pure entertainment is blurred.
His mixing sessions give the listener a psychedelic feeling of ecstasy and contentment.

Immersive love is a nostalgic tribute to the times of 2000s and the Netlabel scene. Back then independent musicians and music producers, used the internet to distribute their music without the intention of making a profit. They allowed other artists to use their music for free, which allowed them to express themselves without the constraints of the music industry. This passion for music-making spread to other musicians and listeners, leading to the formation of a network of labels and blogs that formed communities of individuals who created, shared, reviewed, and published the music of independent artists. However, the rise of social media and streaming platforms with algorithmic models led to a decrease in creative freedom and marked the end of this period.
