After a couple of weeks away to have fun at our Amsterdam festival, we're back with a fresh new podcast. For this one we hand over to @melinaserser who joins us at Dekmantel Selectors in Croatia this week. A graduate of the legendary DJ Koolt's DJ school, Melina is a talented artist from the fertile Uruguayan scene. She has a passion for unearthing unknown gems for the worlds of downtempo, ethnic, jazz, funk and breakbeat and has played all over the world as a result.

Her selections here show Serser's mastery of the early-evening warm-up or late night lounge world. It's a place where lilting rhythms and all manner of melodies slowly unfurl and cast their hypnotic spell. The churning grooves are dubbed out and fleshy as all manner of details come and go - prog guitars, dark leads, trippy vocal whispers. In these hyperactive times of short attention spans, Serser provides perfectly slow-release pleasures.

Amsterdam based Eversines is most definitely one of these artists that is always capable of taking a dancefloor on a proper journey. The Breakfast Club resident and De Lichting label co-founder has a huge amount of sounds to draw upon as his discography will give a massive hint towards. Works on the likes of Twig, Slow Life, his own De Lichting, as well as Kalahari Oyster Club and his album “Dwang” on Ninih being particular personal highlights for us. 

With a sound palette ranging from lush soundscapes, and tight modular grooves, right the way through to the toughest of kicks and outrageous acid lines. This is an ethos that Eversines propels into his DJ sets as well as his live performances, and for an example of the latter check out our coverage of Breakfast Club’s marathon at this year’s ADE where he had The Other Side rocking.

In keeping with this wide array of sounds at his disposal, Eversines has lovingly crafted a near 2 hour trip that treads a deeper path but peppered with moments of peak time action that he regularly dips into. Taking care to slowly build up the pressure, deep analog rhythms are a mainstay while atmospheric techno, proto tech house, and the odd progressive gem is used to punctuate the mood nicely. If you are still undecided what to do this NYD, Breakfast Club will be again presenting a marathon this time to usher in 2024 and Eversines will play b2b with bossman Pieter Jansen.

Eversines - Trommel InSession 114

It would seem that there was something in the water in Italy during the tail end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s. We recently highlighted this via our recent Free Download artist, but another Italian artist who is just as influential is Francesco Farfa. Incredibly, he was already a working DJ by the early 80s and that was before the age of electronic music. This just meant when the advent of drum machines dawned across the music spectrum Francesco was already armed to the teeth with skills honed playing funk and disco when early proto-house began filtering through to Europe. This melding of sounds and technique has produced an incredibly moorish combination of dark, brooding electro, stripped back for minimal or maximal floors, a better word can be used to describe it all - timeless. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-202-francesco-farfa/]

Yamour resident at our good friends of Blitz Club (we can’t wait until Cruise x IsBurning next week!) and one of the thriving forces behind Good2U Festival. Yamour played at our Yellow House marathon during ADE and now she’s back with an IsBurning mix. An neverending house groove for the mind & the body banging in subtleness! 

Trackhighlight Chez Damier & Makèz - „Do It“ (Adeen Records)
An uplifting deep house tune with organic percussions, a thick and bouncy bassline, buttery chords and a fun acid melody that comes in mid-track. I love the two funky disco breaks, definitely a highlight for me.
I bought this record in Japan, while I was on tour in Asia and it immediately became a staple in my record bag. 
The EP is a collaboration between Adeen and legendary Chicago label Balance. All four tracks are produced by Chez Damier and Makéz, plus a smoky remix by Mr G.

Thanks Yamour!<3

Co-curator of pivotal imprint Klasse Wrecks, Mr. Ho has had an immeasurable impact on the bass and bleep end of the house and techno spectrum. Hailing from Hong Kong, there are few areas of this community that both Mr. Ho and his Klasse Wrecks imprint have not influenced. Having forged an enviable discography, the HK native has touched down on labels such as DJ Masda’s Cabaret Recordings, ESP Institute, Modern Funktion, Altered Circuits, Love International's new Floor Series, and of course, a regular slew of additions to his own imprint.
