2016 - Best Mixes of the Year

Spring is already there and here is my soundtrack for it, including my current favorites.

Nils Hoffmann Spring Mixtape 2016

øst #3 - Ensel&Grete *live

Back in 2011 I set off on a journey of new tastes in music and personal evolution. To this day as I have aged so too has my taste in music. I am still changing and evolving and my music will always reflect that. 

These are a few but definitely not all of the tracks since 2011 to now that come into my life and I hope you enjoy them ;) 
Don't be surprised to hear a few more classics in my future sets.

Live at my condo

Marc Poppcke is the name we always associate with quality. Whether it’s through his own Crossfrontier Audio label, collaborations, accomplished remixes or his exceptional solo work, the Berlin-based producer has become renown for promoting only the best work in the modern-day electronic music industry.
Influenced by the famous German radio show ‘HR 3 Clubnight’, Marc has developed a real  passion for electronic music. Getting his Master of Arts in sound engineering, and becoming an internationally-renowned DJ, producer, and Crossfrontier Audio label boss, Marc’s strong devotion for crafting deep, unexpected, captivating, and soul-touching music experiences has amassed a loyal league of followers.

With Marc’s upcoming NYC debut, Delayed is honored to present this deep and groovy exclusive mix.
From takeoff to landing, he effortlessly locks in the listener mixing the dark but dreamy moods while maintaining a nuanced, intellectual vibe.
This mix features artists such as Fort Romeau, Kris Davis, Danito & Athina, Hacker & Miethig, Jamie Stevens, and a collaborative track by Marc himself and MUUI who recently dropped an absolutely hypnotic album “Following Today”. Marc and MUUI are collaborating on an EP primed to be out at the end of July and this track is just the hint what to expect from a jubilee of the 50th release of the Crossfrontier’s catalogue.  
So get your favorite headphones ready. The selection is quality. Don’t miss any of the depth lost when you play it at low decibels.

┋Doob & Janoma (Grenzenløs/Berlin) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.86┋

Heute haben wir zwei junge Künstler für euch, die uns besonders ans Herz gewachsen sind. Doob & Janoma leben im quirligen Berlin und haben sich über Ihr gemeinsames Studium kennengelernt. 

Im Januar 2015 haben die beiden dann auf Einladung unseres Member Mitglieds Elektro Uwe dessen ersten sound(ge)cloud Podcast zusammen in Nürnberg live eingespielt. Dies war der erste gemeinsame Auftritt und der Beginn einer tiefen musikalischen Freundschaft. Die zweite Station war dann auch gleich die legendäre Räuberhöhle auf der Fusion mit einem grandiosen 5 Stunden Set … was für eine Abfahrt … wir waren Live dabei. Es folgten diverse gemeinsame Auftritte, wo auch ein fantastischer Easy-Podcast für Elektroaktivisten entstanden ist oder der massive Live-Mittschnitt aus dem Keller, den wir veröffentlichen durften.
 
Aber die beiden haben es auch als einzelne DJ-Persönlichkeiten mehr als drauf … das zeigen die zahlreichen Podcasts für Gedankenklang, OpenAirtogo oder Tiger Rag und natürlich nicht zu vergessen die beiden Live-Mitschnitte aus ihrem Lieblings-Club Sisyphos.
 
Vom Sound her sind die beiden äußerst flexibel. Mal überraschen sie mit einem ethno-easy-downtempo Mix --- aber sie verstehen es auch hochenergetisch nach vorne zu gehen - und das Ganze immer mit ihrer entspannten Doob & Janoma Leichtigkeit. 

Für unsere Nr. 86 haben die beiden sich mächtig ins Zeug gelegt und ein ganz besonderes Set gebastelt. Andi und Janosch vielen Dank für diese zweistündige Klangwelt. Und nun liebe Zuhörer: Ohren auf und abtauchen.

For his upcoming performance at Pleinvrees, as well as Ibiza's darker Techno ONYX event, Berlin-native Fritz Kalkbrenner provides an exclusive mixtape of deep instrumentation.

Recently releasing his newest and third album "Ways Over Water", Fritz Kalkbrenner hardly needs an introduction as his unique style has been a defining one in Berlin. He emerged from of the shadows of the socialist prefab buildings in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin - and has ever since strived to perfect his interpretation of cold electro into warm, deep melodic electronic music. Throughout the summer, he'll be playing ONYX at Space Ibiza, a dark techno party that will host a variety of top-notch acts such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Ambivalent, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Monika Kruse, Redshape, Surgeon, and many more.

Coming in September, Fritz Kalkbrenner will be taking his craft to the wildly colorful Pleinvrees Festival - a day driven by a passion for melodic house music inspired from a variety of music styles. Originally beginning in 2010 as a simple Queens Day event in Amsterdam, Pleinvrees has grown and developed its wildly crafty aesthetic. First things first, though, Fritz will be at ONYX tonight!

It's been a busy summer so far that began in Mid-May when I came to the island for the International Music Summit and ended up sticking around for a couple extra months.

I'd call the first half of this mix sunset music, and the last half something more in line with my usual sound.

Let me know your thoughts!

Ibiza Sonica Guest Mix for Karlos Sense

On the 39th edition of our blogcast we proudly present Bona Fide.

If you aren't aware of the name then most probably your soundcloud auto-play option must have taken you over his 'Dreamy' series, without noticing. We discovered Marko after listening to his 'Dreamy 2' mix over and over again, he is a must-host talent. All the way from the Boston, Marko impresses us all over again with his smooth transitions, solid grooves and dreamy mood. His new and upcoming track 'Amirale', which has found a lot of support from artists such as YokoO & Gorge Hewek, is included in this mix. We believe that Marko and his music are looking in to a bright future.

Track list goes like this:
1. Spaniol, Niju, Rodrigo Gallardo - Manquemapu
2. NU - Cielo
3. Stavroz - To Be In Mara
4. Funf Sterne Deluxe - Schund (Super Flu's No Champier Mix)
5. Sade - Pearls (Timo Jahns Remix)
6. Tim Green - For A Memory
7. YokoO & Retaz - Equuleus
8. Marko Milicevic & Johnny Leoni - Violine Of Love
9. Gorje Hewek & Izhevski - Zakkat
10. Marko Milicevic - Amirale [Unreleased]

"Dreams touch every level of our life. They may let us glimpse the future, or give suggestions for healing, or share insights into our relationships. Above all, they can and will steer us more directly toward universe".

I strongly believe that dreams are windows into worlds beyond the ordinary. Some people have dreams that give them guidance about the smallest details of their daily life along with profound spiritual insights. Others experience unconditional and transforming love in their dreams. 

Thats why always try to put people into a state of dream where they can seek their inner voice. To rise their very own consciousness, and, step by step, the consciousness of society. 

And all the places I've visited, all the beautiful people I've met...you've conquered my heart. I can happily say that in each of these places I left a part of my heart. It's quite incredible to be able to share my inner voice in front of so many beautiful souls.
I am so grateful for everything.

It is with a smile on my face that I will re-enter this journey, and dream of what comes next.

Nothing but love <3

┋  Matthias Kunze (Klangextase / Hamburg) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.92┋

Unsere Nummer 92 kommt diese Woche von einem langjährigen Wegbegleiter und Unterstützer vieler Künstler von nah und fern. 
Die Rede ist von Matthias Kunze, der uns alle mit seinen zahlreichen Sets und Podcast schon häufiger die Stunden versüßt hat. Seit einer gefühlten Ewigkeit ist er auch Mitglied bei dem bekannten Kasseler Podcast/Blog Projekt „Klangextase“, das für uns mit zu den besten Podcast-Reihen zählt. Was 2008 als wöchentlicher Radiostream mit Freunden startete, entwickelte sich über die Jahre hinweg zu einer international bekannten und vor allem unabhängigen Musikplattform. 

Matthias’ Sound besticht durch eine besondere Mischung aus treibenden Beats, melodiösen Klängen, behutsam eingeflochtenen Vocals und vor allem jeder Menge Bass. Für Matthias ist Spaß das höchste Gut beim Auflegen: „Wenn du selbst glücklich bist mit deiner Musik und dem Drumherum, dann wird es auch dein Publikum sein!“ Nach erfolgreichen Gigs in Wien (Prater Sauna), Berlin (Ritter Butzke) und Kassel (Unten, Club ARM, etc.) spielt Matthias nun vor allem in seiner Wahlheimat Hamburg in Clubs (z.B. Kurhotel, Baalsaal) und auf Open Airs.

Für uns hat sich Matthias ganz schön ins Zeug gelegt und eine wundervolle Stunde erstellt, die so was von zu unserer Reihe passt. Deep, träumerisch und treibend. Vielen Dank Matthias.

Musik ein, Welt aus.
