Saun & Starr - Hot Shot

This composition couldn't have manifested in a more synchronic and poetic way.  The first person I had ever written an email to in music was Timo Maas. His reputation for being a nice guy, humble & respectable person in music was the sort of encouragement I needed to write to him in particular. This was way back in 2004 with my first record label Logicalnoise. Timo wrote back a very encouraging letter about my music. 
Fast forward to 2014 and a nice request from to send him some music for a compilation for My Favourite Robot's Crossing Wires compilation. I thought of what i could send him that would be appropriate but in the end writing something seemed a more honest approach. 
While struggling for a good idea, I spent some days writing, and although I came up with quite a few ideas, none hit the moment I was looking for. So going through Skype, I hit up Pablo (Monolitio). We are old internet friends, who once upon a time worked with the same manager - this is how we met.
Pablo sent me an few ideas and with some tweaking arrived at 'Dreams Don't Turn to Dust'.

The track will open Timo's mix and be available on CD from June.
Dj Mag recently listed it as one of their big tunes of the month.

How things come together in the end? 
It often feels like magic.

Thats all I can say about this composition. And the subject matter and mood - totally apt.

Thyladomid ft. Mâhfoud - The Real Thing (Adriatique Remix) DIY071

‘Ion’ is a more lively but just as deep house track that comes form another galaxy. Sci-fi effects, smooth drums and sombre, Vangelis like synths all make this a perfectly future sounding track that will create lots of drama on the dancefloor.

Adriatique - Ion (Original Mix) - DIYNAMIC072

Roam Recordings has enlisted Galen and Shiny Objects, two heavyweights of San Francisco’s dance music scene, for a collaborative release that lives up to their storied reputations – the bright and techy “Purest Sound“, backed with the equally formidable “Sunday Freeze“.

Galen started out by setting up speakers and a generator at a park in Berkeley every Sunday, and soon hundreds of people were dancing while watching the sun set behind the San Francisco skyline. Now he’s behind the Sunset Sound System with its world-renowned outdoor events, boat parties, and annual Sunset Campout Festival. Shiny Objects is Christopher Smith, the founder of Om Records and the producer of of over one hundred tracks and remixes under various aliases. Smith is also a core member of the Burning Man camp Disco Knights and a proprietor of Monarch, one of the Bay Area’s most respected nightspots.

The release certainly exudes a current San Francisco style: tech’ed out but still playful, and fitting firmly within Roam’s party vibes aesthetic. “Purest Sound” gives the dance floor all it’s got, with a beefy bass line, chiming percussion, and ominous spoken vocals over a compulsive rhythm. This one builds nicely into late night bliss mode. “Sunday Freeze” qualifies for ‘double A-side’, as it’s a production that’s just as potent and compelling. With a little more dub in its bones, the track moves in constant motion as echoey synths, thumping kicks, and a rumbling low end steer the course. The extended breakdown at the half-way mark succeeds in delivering after-hours power.

Mark Farina – “I dig it.”
Gemini Brothers (Skint / Nein) – “Great summer hits … lovely!”
Larry Tee – “Hot one!”
DJ Harri (Sub Club / Subculture) – “I’m liking the old school Murk feel on these.”
Vanilla Ace – “Cool tracks.”
Severino (Horse Meat Disco) – “Yes … I’m into it!”
Atish (Desert Hearts / Robot Heart) – “‘Sunday Freeze’ is punchy, deep, and playful.”
Da Funk (Acryl Music / Pacha) – “‘Purest Sound’ here for me … nice!”
Al Bradley (3am Recordings) – “A truly exceptional release … both cuts are just so good. ‘Sunday Freeze’ with its gradual build through the track just shaded it for me. Amazing sounds.”
Bachelors Of Science (Code Recordings / Dirtybird) – “‘Purest Sound’ … what a monster earworm! Smashed it.”
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing Radio Show) – “I love both of these. Funky and spacey with catchy vocal samples … just perfect!”
Jean Jérome (Radio FG / Kut ‘N’ Paste) – “Huge beat and nice groove … perfect for my sets.”
Tariq Ziyad (Nu Urban ERA) – “I love this. It’s like John Carpenter making spaced out, dubby house.”

Casimir - Faraway (Aaron Nathanael Remix)

Analog tastes better. The artist "Alles Andrs" gives a clear statemanet with his new EP. Instead of pre-assembled Sample Packs, he starts at the substance, records his environment himself and tranformes it all to an artwork with a very own taste. Once he uses the cry of an eagle, once the singing of a friend. The swoosh of a river and the noise of a street in a city are used, too. The dull hit of a wooden piece gives the base for the kickdrum and therefore the basic structure of the Tracks. Together with percussions and harmonics out of analog synthesizers and the whole records out nature and environment, a very special atmosphere is created, completely analog!
Additional Andreas gets powerful support from some partners. On the one hand from HELMS. He delivers a slowdown Version from "Lost in Space". The intensive dynamic and the great build up of suspence just gets you to move on. The second Remix is made from the two labemembers Emmrich & Voelker. A new interpretation from "Aquila". The Track persuades with his technoid structure and a clear warm bassline and just gets you to dance immediately.
