On our way to Ozora this Saturday afternoon our guide will be GABRIEL LE MAR of Saafi Brothers, who you can catch this summer both at Pumpui and The Dome.

GABRIEL LE MAR is a music producer, living in Frankfurt/Germany, releasing electronic music with a special focus on deep DubTech sounds and Dub inspired TechHouse.His mission remains the same today: exploring electronic music with a dub mindset. With an open mind and always in a search for fresh musical experiences, Gabriel Le Mar likes to integrate himself in different artistic constellations with his dub-inspired TechHouse project Dublocation as well as with the artistic collaboration with Dr. Motte. With his projects Saafi Brothers and Aural Float, Gabriel composed ambient, space and experimental sound scapes.
With Aural Float he worked on audiovisual concepts: as a team they did the artistic supervision of SPACENIGHT, a prototype of a TV-concept, utilizing spectacular film- and documentary footage from outer space with music made on earth. SPACENIGHT became a success on german television and soon reached cult status among the young night watchers until today. On his albums Gabriel produced tracks that are tailored for the dub inspired clubber, combining different playful approaches of Dub with the functionality and stringency of techhouse music. Bridges are built by energetic and minimal grooves. Solo and with his projects Gabriel Le Mar appeared at festivals like Time Warp, Deichbrand, Merkwürdiges Verhalten, Pollerwiesen, Reworks, Roskilde, Sziget, Tribal Gathering, Fusion, Hadra, Ozora…

THE SOUND OF GABRIEL LE MAR On the floor Gabriel is playing a set with live-overdubs that always celebrate the moment in a jam from DeepTechHouse and Techno. His DJ sets are traversed by soulful and minimal nuances. “Live i like using little mixers and other sound control tools in order to do real-time sound changes paying respect to the fact that every live situation has it´s own dynamics concerning the people, the acoustic situation in the room and of course emotional states of the people and me. I like using both: analog media like turntables and cd-players as well as digital equipment that makes it easy for me to bring the sound of my studio to and on the floor. Concerning energy and flow I love going through waves – flowing grooves, sometimes pushing and forcing, and deep soundscapes that make you dance and feel.”

Interview with GABRIEL LE MAR | On the Way to Ozora 2017 | 22/04/2017

ENG
-----------------------------
Paolo Calvaruso (A.K.A. Groove Empathy) discovers his passion for DJing in 2014, approaching and falling in love with the psy movement.
In fact, the first mixing experiences involved all kind of Psy genres, finally arriving to the beloved Zenonesque/Dark Prog music along side all kind of Downtempo and Chill-Out music.

After two years he feels the need to expand his musical selection to all his beloved musical genres, moving away from the prevalence of electronic music and starting to melt it with old and contemporary sounds, to create combinations ever more stimulating and unexpected for listeners' ears.
Now the best way to express himself and his musical empathy is, whithout any doubt, playing Chill-Out/Alternative DJsets.

In 2016 joins the Fractal Forest Family as DJ and Alternative Stage Manager for family's Party!
In 2019 he joins forces and start co-operating and organizing parties with Out of Control PsyFamily!
By now Groove Empathy brought his selection in parties and festivals like 7Chakras Festival, Shankra Festival, Atlas Gathering, etc. in Italy and all over Europe (Swiss, Spain, Denmark, ...).

His DJsets are never prepared, the musical selection is improvised on the spot in order to fit the situation and follow the dancefloor vibes at the best of his capability!

Paolo Calvaruso (A.K.A. Groove Empathy) scopre la passione per il DJing nel 2014, avvicinandosi e innamorandosi del movimento Psy.
Le prime esperienze di missaggio infatti toccavano solamente sonorità elettroniche Psy di tutti i generi, approdando in ultimo al genere Zenonesque/Dark Prog prediletto assieme anche a tutte le sonorità Downtempo e Chill-Out.

Dopo due anni sente però il bisogno di espandere la sua selezione a tutti i generi musicali da sempre amati, scostandosi dalla prevalenza di musica elettronica per fonderla a sonorità vecchie e/o contemporanee, al fine di creare accostamenti sonori sempre più stimolanti e inaspettati per le orecchie degli ascoltatori.
Ormai è senza dubbio tramite i DJset Chill-Out/Alternative che riesce veramente a esprimere se stesso e l'affinità musicale.

Dal 2016 entra a far parte della Fractal Forest Family come DJ e Alternative Stage Manager per gli stessi eventi della Family.
Nel 2019 unisce le forze e inizia a organizzare feste con Out of Control PsyFamily.
Ad ora, Groove Empathy ha portato la sua selezione in feste e festival come il 7Chakras Festival, Shankra Festival, Atlas Gathering, in Italia e altri paesi Europei (Svizzera, Spagna, Danimarca, ...).

I DJset non sono mai preparati prima, la selezione viene improvvisata sul momento in modo da potersi adattare alla situazione e seguire il mood della dancefloor al meglio delle sue capacità!
