Lucerne-based Maria Sternhagel Vollmann (@hackgedicht) delivers us a mix of ambient, IDM, mellow beat-driven tracks and German obscurities. She processes things from the past and the present, all this with a portion of provocation towards herself and to the audience. The perspectives are changing and you have the choice of where you stand as a listener, an attempt to rethink immutable principles – for all of us. Enjoy the trip!

Alexis Le-Tan is one of the most consistent record collectors come DJ slash compiler and editor supreme of the Parisian underground.
Solo, he has delivered much sought after oddball versions under the guises of ALT or Alexis Le-Fan (Bahnsteig 23, Crowdspacer, Les Edits du Golem, Future Times, Black Disco, etc.) and is the purveyor of envelope pushing mixes for the likes of lovefingers.org, Noise In My Head, Test Pressing amongst many others …. A father of two Alexis' appetite for music is insatiable and he still playlists 30 new releases every months on Juno.co.uk.
Master of the bent, incanter of the psyched-out, purveyor of the leftfield as, anyone who knows him will tell you, there is something slightly off with Alexis. A readiness to unsettle, solidly camped behind tainted glasses and a belligerent smile the kind only the violently caustic can muster.
Such saltiness, however, did not prevent him from undertaking influential music collaborations, first as a co-selector of obscure cosmic and library music, Space Oddities which he picked in conjunction with Jess, of Jess & Crabbe fame. But also as concept band, Full Circle besides Crowdspacer founder Joakim. Alexis is also praised for his exciting back to back Dj sets among which his collabs with french disco apostle Vidal Benjamin, Vladimir Ivkovic or Misha Hollenbach and 2ManyDJ’s are amongst the most resounding.

From the halcyon days of Goa parties and the UK’s rave scene to the noughties’ specific blend of electro, disco and techno, it took twenty formative years for Alexis to fully establish his ever so distinctive signature sound: a mixture of all things slow and mental always with a touch of trance in a very cosmic ascension to uncompromising originality.
It sounds more complicated than it is and his monthly radio show on LYL (http://lyl.live/show/the-other-side/) will give you a good grasp of the cottonous splendor Alexis’ style has come to.

vinyl.

Niklas Wille - Reach Another System Label Showcase [27.02.2024]

Basel based Klingberg, co-founder of the label Reach Another System, is coming with
a set consisting of a mixture of ambient, krautrock, industrial and everything in
between. Already spring on the calendar, always winter at heart, this mix creates a
melancholy for the dark season and is best suited for a hot bath, on a rainy day... or
for the days that just feel like it.

Klingberg - Reach Another System Label Showcase [27.02.2024]

As Resident DJ for Reach Another System Jenne from Frankfurt curated a mystical set of gloomy
ambient and compelling, seductive downtempo sounds. It captures melancholy while maintaining a
sense of hopefulness. A good accompaniment for introspection and setting intentions for
approaching spring.

Track: “Raison De Force Majeure”
Title: “Les Nuits Magnétiques”
Label: @reachanothersystem
Format: limited 7’’ + DL
Release date: May 03, 2024
Pre-order: https://rasrecords.bandcamp.com/album/les-nuits-magn-tiques

"longtime music activists Rawmance and Asymmetrical from Rome have joined forces to create new music under the name 'La Nuit Je Mens'. Their debut work, titled 'Les Nuits Magnétiques', features two of their songs on a hand-stamped 7" vinyl. Utilizing a bass guitar, analog synthesizers and vintage drum machines, their music is infused with French vocals, lending it a cinematic touch and a sense of depth. While strongly inspired by the sound of the 80s, this record establishes its own unique identity, offering something new and refreshing."

Written & produced by M.Montero & G.Inglese
Mastering for vinyl by @sneakerdj at TailOut Studios, Dresden, Germany.
