Touching base with my roots and to connect back with my Papaloko family in London was a grounding experience and a great opportunity to get creative again with music for an audience that I absolutely love. I really enjoyed playing at Fold for PapaLoko AUM Gate, undoubtably my favourite event of all times and places.

DSTM | Techno Visions Podcast 014

Episode 042 & Nuremberg / Darmstadt, Germany based DJ duo Above Us (@eska22, @faestmusic => @above-us-music), interview with duo member Es.Ka below:

BSV: Hello there and thanks for the submission! How did you find us? Google of your “Resilient” track maybe? 😉
ES.KA: I know your channel for a long time since we are supporting each other and l thought it would be a great opportunity to promote new project “Above Us“ 🙂

BSV: From progressive to melodic techno, from dark to hard techno. What’s your range in electronic music?
ES.KA: For my single project it’s something between melodic techno and peak time techno. Above Us aims for a more melodic and deeper sound like I used to play some years ago.

BSV: If we listen your production, it translates into “Eyes Wide Shut” feeling (sounds from the movie). That was your goal?
ES.KA: /

BSV: Tell us something about Illusions @ Haus33. What’s the concept?
ES.KA: Illusions is a melodic techno / peak time techno event which distinguish itself from other events at Haus33 by sticking to slower styles of techno instead of playing mostly hard techno like other events do.  

BSV: We found the info on Beatport about your first ever track (2021). How did you get in electronic music? When was that?
ES.KA: I started DJing 6 years ago in melodic and deep techno genre. In 2021 I decided that I want to make my own music which I can perform in clubs.

BSV: What’s behind your DJ duo artist name (meaning)?
ES.KA: It conveys the meaning that the music is always above us. We found that it has a good sound to it and we we're aiming for a two word name.

BSV: Is there maybe some interesting story about how you guys decided to do music together? Let us know about your long term goals…
ES.KA: The funny thing is that we know each other since we were kids. Didn't have contact at all for about 25 years and figured out that we are both into electronic music. Each of us in own project. So we decided to create something together. Long term goals would be getting in touch and getting collabs with more established artists and playing more shows.

Episode 045 & Serbia based Cosmic Eve (@cosmic_eve), interview below:

BSV: Hello there! Thanks a lot for your lovely mixtape. Who is behind Cosmic Eve project?
COSMIC EVE: Cosmic Eve is the creation of an artistic soul who has loved music for as long as she can remember. In my youth, I was involved in singing and acting. Coming from a musical family, l've always been drawn to soul and pop. As I grew up, I developed a love for jazz and funk, eventually finding my way to electronic music, with a strong affinity for House and later minimal styles.

BSV: We are curious about your connection with Vienna city. Did that scene influence your cosmic music journey?
COSMIC EVE: Vienna, in my opinion, is a city that has greatly enriched my general knowledge of musical culture. The classical music scene, along with jazz and funk, has been incredibly influential. I often attended opera and musicals, where l even performed myself, singing in musicals. Additionally, I sang in a church choir and in a jazz-funk band. As for the electronic music scene, I gained most of my knowledge in Serbia and later in Romania.

BSV: People in Serbia know you as minimal dj. Tell us a bit more about your sound.
COSMIC EVE: Listening to electronic music, I've always been drawn to deep and powerful bass lines that play a melody in combination with percussion and jazz elements. I had never come across the so-called "ro-minimal" sound before, even though this genre isn't officially recognized, known for its calm yet massive sound. It wasn't until five years ago, after returning to Serbia from Vienna, that I happened to hear a few tracks in a studio that were a revelation to me. In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude, looking up at the sky and thanking a higher power for finally giving me the answer. I always knew such a sound existed, but l haven't heard it before then. I hope this response makes sense to you. My sound typically ranges between 123-126 BPM, depending on whether it's an intro or not. l am particularly drawn to a deep and rich bass, combined with a house sound and organic instruments layered over it. I prefer not to limit myself to a single genre, allowing for more creativity and diversity in my sets.

BSV: Few days ago you played at Vibe Festival in Serbia. How was that experience?
COSMIC EVE: I'm glad you asked about the Vibe Festival because I'm still under its impression. The organization was serious, the sound was perfect, and I felt great on stage. Serbia should have such an intimate yet high-quality festival in every city. Vibe supports local artists in every way, and I want to thank them for everything and wish them much success in the coming years.

BSV: What kind of software you are using and how did you get into music production?
COSMIC EVE: Honestly, I knew that if I wanted to pursue this branch of music seriously, I needed to understand every aspect of it: musical education including knowledge of solfeggio and listening to different genres, mixing and practice, knowing how to mix records, and finally, production where I can highlight my distinctive sound. My father is a sound engineer, and after observing my passion for a long time, he finally agreed to teach me, starting with Cubase, the program of his youth, and later Ableton. Attending music school and playing the piano helped me quickly master the basics. I was very fortunate to have my father's guidance and later the support of colleagues like Petar Cvetkovic and Zlatnici.

BSV: Spotify or iTunes type of person?
COSMIC EVE: I don't have Spotify yet, and since l use Macintosh, l use iTunes. I have to admit, I haven't had the chance to explore this topic further.

BSV: Can you please share with us some tracks from your current playlist that you are listening on repeat?
COSMIC EVE: Honestly, I don't listen to individual tracks on repeat. I prefer listening to sets from my favorite artists.

BSV SESSION 045 I COSMIC EVE

Episode 046 & Czech Republic based Lunara (@user-193864401), interview below:

BSV: Hello Lucia! Thanks for joining us! How are you today?
LUNARA: I am feeling great! Catching a bit nostalgic vibe from the change of the weather, but that is normal. An autumn is quite inspirational season for me. Thank you for invitation. 😎

BSV: We met each other in the city that doesn’t exist. Tell us something about your journey from your hometown to European San Francisco scene.
LUNARA: Ah 😄. I did not hear this joke about Brno before, but truly it is very small city in comparison with Prague, but very heart-warming. I came here ten years ago to study university and started my music journey few years ago by spinning some vinyls at home during long winter nights. ✨

BSV: How would you describe the sound of Brno?
LUNARA: Very catchy, bassy, groovy. Mostly would say there is great techno scene and a lot of very talented people doing music and DJing. I am starting to run my own project Tribute to House which will be mostly oriented to house music, to open up the space for more music genres. We also have here an amazing collective CandyCore founded by my friends Laura and Jenia which contributed also a lot to Brno music scene. 

BSV: We heard that you have some vinyl mixing knowledge. Who taught you that?
LUNARA: I started with vinyl records. I love it so much! 🙂 It made me fall in love with DJing, I enjoyed holding the records in my hand and have the possibility to jam and play around with the sounds. My boyfriend Martin Duke, also DJ, taught me how to play.

BSV: Your mixtape is so cool with some magnificent track selection. Is this kind of vibe the one that you are usually playing in front of people?
LUNARA: Thank you, I am glad you like it. Yeah it is, but of course it depends from the event and my current vibe. I think this mix is affected by the weather a lot and my inspirational mood. 

BSV: Are you considering music production? Familiar with some DAW?
LUNARA: Yeah, you never know what future will bring. I love to sing also, maybe in the future I will record some vocals and start to explore. I see Ableton almost every day, cause my boyfriend is producing music, so at least I am watching for now. 😄

BSV: Favorite track at the moment?
LUNARA: Now getting nostalgic with Pacific 202 by 808 State again.

BSV SESSION 046 I LUNARA

Episode 047 & Belgrade, Serbia based Celestia (@celestiaofc), interview below:

BSV: Hello Tara! How are you today? Any scheduled activities?
CELESTIA: Hello BSV, thank you for inviting me. Today I feel very excited and I'm looking forward to new opportunities.

BSV: We listened to your warm-up set on New Year's Eve, and we liked it that much. What is your sound range?
CELESTIA: It depends on the occasion, usually, my sound range is from 145 to 150 bpm but on NYE It was a different story because it was a warm-up set and a bit challenging for me, way below my sound range, but still dark and groovy. That's how I would describe my style.

BSV: You have a very interesting artist name. Are you inspired by the “Celeste” Bicep track?
CELESTIA: Actually, I'm inspired by a character from my little pony “Princess Celestia“. Meaning: heavenly, of the sky. A blessing from the blue above, Celestia is a feminine name rooted in Latin, meaning “heavenly.” Derived from the masculine Latin name Celaestis, signifying something “of the sky,” Celestia is a wish upon a star for the angel that baby is hoped to always and forever be.

BSV: As a professional dancer is it easier in your opinion to follow the rhythm and jack to the groove with that kind of previous experience?
CELESTIA: It helps a lot. Being a dancer in this scene can be an advantage. Based on my previous experience, I can say that it's easier for me to listen to the music, completely lose myself, and enjoy the rhythm.

BSV: How carefully do you choose tracks for your sets and is it hard to adjust to the space/people in front of you?
CELESTIA: I collect music all the time. Usually, I make a live selection of music. Depends on vibes, and people. I like to spread positivity and happiness, control the atmosphere and energy and make people enjoy themselves. That's my purpose as a DJ.

BSV: Your set is very energetic and we just wanna dance to it. Is this the vibe you prefer while playing in clubs?
CELESTIA: Of course, that's the vibe I'm looking for. 

BSV: Any upcoming gigs?
CELESTIA: I have 3 gigs upcoming in March:

14th - Private event 
15th - Private event after that Kult b2b with my wonderful colleague @czemusic, we are preparing energetic groove techno session.
22nd - Drugstore with a new event called HAOS. And many more. Thank you so much for having me.💖

BSV SESSION 047 I CELESTIA

Episode 048 & Berlin, Germany based DJ Motion (@motion_dj), interview below:

BSV: Hello Hennadii! How are you? How was your day?
DJ MOTION: Hi! I’m in such a great mood today! It’s sunny in Berlin, which is quite rare!

BSV: Tell us something about your roots. Where are you from and how did you get into electronic music?
DJ MOTION: I am originally from Ukraine and have been passionate about music since childhood. In 2007, I embarked on my journey as a DJ. My tastes have evolved several times - from the Minimal and Electro of those times to modern Afro House, Melodic House, and Downtempo. But one thing has always remained unchanged - my place behind the decks. It’s a kind of drug, albeit a legal one, but just as hard to give up.

BSV: About your mixing routine, how do you get all of these smooth transitions?  Do you practice a lot?
DJ MOTION: I think it’s like learning to ride a bike. Once you’ve learned, it’s impossible to forget. But you’re right - there’s always room to grow. You need to practice and improve. A lot depends on what kind of DJ you are. If you’re an underground DJ, you’ll never bother with scratching, word play, tone play, and all that. But in any case, you should at least have a general understanding and try different mixing techniques for self-development. I believe the main secret isn’t even in practice, but in track selection and sorting by key - this is the key to a great mix.

BSV: We notice that you are currently in a “progressive” state of mind and we want to know more about your evolving process of changing musical genres.
DJ MOTION: Thank you for an interesting question. I think that tastes change with age. At first, you try to follow general trends, discovering more and more new things around you. But only with time and experience do you come to understand what your soul truly desires. I believe this is the main reason why DJs change the genres they work with.

BSV: You are a Berlin based artist. Is it easier for you to get some gigs and to play music to the “right” people?
DJ MOTION: I don’t think the number of gigs depends on the city you’re in. Rather, it depends on how many connections you have in that city, especially in the club scene. Without them, getting behind the decks at a venue is quite a challenge. Nevertheless, despite my relatively short time here, I have already gotten to know the local club culture and had the opportunity to perform several times for the right people you’re talking about. I continue working on integrating into the local club scene. And those who work toward a goal always achieve results. That’s why I’m confident in the success of what I’ve started.

BSV: Your favorite track/artist at the moment?
DJ MOTION: Unfortunately, I can’t give you a definitive answer to this question because I don’t have one favorite track or one favorite artist. I listen to a lot of music, so it’s impossible for me to choose just one and call it the main one. I think you understand me.

BSV: Are you familiar with some DAW?
DJ MOTION: Yes, during my practice, I had the chance to work with Logic Pro and Ableton Live. I think these are some of the most popular software programs in the DJing sphere, but I feel they are more suited for sound producers, and I don’t consider myself one - at least not yet. I do plan to dive into this new and exciting world for myself, but that will be a completely different story.

Chuckie & Promise Land ft Amanda Wilson - Breaking Up (B.﻿Brenes & T.Romera Remix)

Original composition by Christine Kammerer under the alias A Voice of North  (2018)

Voices In The Wind Of North

Like the flora and fauna of her Madagascar homeland, Lala Njava’s music is distinctive and unique. Listen out for her silvery wandering voice, lush rolling guitars and rippling percussion on this, her striking debut album – her Malagasy Blues Song.

For more information, visit: www.worldmusic.net/lalanjava

MALAGASY BLUES SONG

If Lala Njava’s music was a colour, it would be indigo – a dark, pensive hue that rings with a deep, almost bluesy, edge. Listening to Malagasy Blues Song, we hear bending guitar lines, Lala’s silvery wandering voice and rippling percussion winding together in harmony.

Malagasy Blues Song is Lala’s debut solo release, but as a young musician she gained a wealth of experience from performing live with her family band, Njava. In conversation, Lala explains the organic and free-flowing way in which their familial music-making occurred. Upon moving to Europe during the 1990s, the band became professionally established and smoothly scaled the ladder of success, recording two albums for EMI, embarking on a world tour and laying down some vocals for renowned ‘ethnic-electronica’ group Deep Forest. ‘Sweet Lullaby’ heard on Malagasy Blues Song is a re-recording of a track that Lala performed live with Deep Forest many times during this era of her career. Lala’s version is very different from the 1990s recorded pop original, and is deliciously reworked with her languorous bluesy swing. Stripped back to an acoustic setting, the lilting melody sparkles in its simplicity.

The guitar that undulates underneath Lala’s striking vocal throughout the album is played in a style reminiscent of the various stringed percussion instruments that dominate traditional Malagasy music. The rippling guitar strings roll out like a lush valiha, a tube zither considered the national instrument of Madagascar. The melodious mix is then punctuated with thick bass hits and shape-shifting drums.

The opening track on the album, ‘Soa Gnanay’ is a rich nostalgic tune, recalling the beauty of Lala’s homeland and inviting people to visit it regardless of the bad portrayal it is sometimes given in the international media. The looping riff that opens the album sounds bare, almost desolate, but soon Lala’s warm, enveloping voice swoops in to add a bright positive edge.

Lala’s lyrics express the deep sense of responsibility she feels towards her Malagasy homeland. Many of the songs heard here declare her intent to, and experiences upon, returning to Madagascar in the hope of solving some of the social issues that pervade village life there. ‘Dinako’ means ‘promise’ in English and is a soulful track that explores Lala’s desire to give something back to the community from which she came.

Malagasy Blues Song is an album of deep and sonorous songs penned with purposeful lyrics. Melt into Lala’s expressive sound-world as she threads together the rich tapestry of the sounds, experiences and desires that have stitched her colourful life so far.

Resilient is a DJ, producer, and the visionary force behind @beatsoundvisions, a label devoted to championing true artistry in a world oversaturated with noise. His journey is not one of overnight hype, but of slow-burning evolution, crafted through countless mixing hours and deep connections with worldwide fellow artists. Spiritually adopted by the world, Marko Radovanovic aka Resilient didn’t choose a flashy stage name. The name found him. Because that’s what he is. A survivor, protector of the real ones. A deep soul who translates life’s highs and lows into sound frequencies. Before all of that, there was just a kid with an accordion trying to catch the melody of a "Lonely" song by the German rapper “Nana”. Nothing else, just a feeling. With over a hundred releases to his name, Resilient is not just an artist, he’s a storyteller through the rhythm. He has released on and collaborated with different labels: Deeplomatic Recordings (London); Deep Clicks (Spain); Electric Eden Records; Berlin-based Instead Recordings; Deep House Craft (South Africa); Hamburg-based Neele Records; Munich-based Karmaloft Music, Affect Recordings & Affekt Reaktion; Warrior City Records (Brazil); Soviett Records (Russia); SMR Underground (Italy) and many more. You don’t just listen to his tracks, you live in them. Bold synths, incredibly characterful vocals, groovy bass lines… It’s the kind of music that makes you close your eyes in the middle of a crowd and remember something you didn’t know you’d forgotten. His live sets are emotional marathons. When he plays, he plays long. Not just sets, but journeys. Settle in, let go, and you’ll understand. This is not music for the masses. He doesn’t play for algorithms, he plays for souls. The kind of selector who knows exactly when to hold back and exactly when to let go. A pivotal journey to Ibiza, and one soul-stirring gaze at Es Vedrà, set his compass toward a sound driven by connection, transformation, and truth. Resilient’s sound lives in the deeper layers of electronic music. Rich in texture and always evolving. His productions defy formula, embracing non-standard arrangements and mystical atmospheres that draw the listener inward. There are new releases on the horizon. Special mixtapes for your summer. And the next chapter of his sonic journey is already being written, in silence. But wherever you find him, behind the decks, in your playlists, or somewhere deep in your heart space, you’ll know. You’ll feel it. Resilient is in the house!
