Emerging from the Romanian scene back around ten years ago as an accomplished DJ and producer, Bucharest's Funk E has been on a circuitous path since then, taking in gigs all over the globe as well as a residency at Underground in Ibiza. 

Despite releasing on a number of prominent labels, he's always kept a pretty small footprint; focusing on quality rather than pumping out a stream of tracks and mixes.  This one is no different and hints at an artist who's been steadily refining their craft.  In it you can hear the evolution of his sound; clearly with one foot in the Romanian landscape in which he cut his teeth but possessing an uncommon sophistication and depth.

You will be missed greatly dear, may you be in a better place of eternal peace and Samadhi

THE MOLE is back on Slices Of Life with 3 new tracks and 3 different views on the house music of these days.

Two years after "Hang In There Fry Guy" (SOL4) Colin de la Plante continues his collaboration with Slices Of Life. The Canadian producer and DJ is very well-known for his love for a wide range of music, which is reflected in his inspiring DJ and live sets. Though his favour for soulful music always shines through in all his productions, it is most evident in the edits of his "7 Inches of Love" series as well as in the trippy excursions on his own imprint "Maybe Tomorrow".

Accordingly, the 3 new tracks for Slices Of Life offers an exciting insight into various musical worlds of Colin de la Plante. "Inhuman" surprises with a higher bpm rate than you might expect from The Mole, but the 8-minute track breathes a warm and humorous funk and at the same time twinkles mischievous from the dancefloor. Almost in contradiction to the A side, "Another One of Those Nights" offers a deep and almost melancholic view on the night and its various side effects. And finally, "Hot Tea Dog Man" links perfectly to "Now I Understand" from SOL4: A hypnotic beat that concentrates on the essentials and a few well set elements that carry the track wonderfully and endlessly.

But experience the words of the master himself:
"I did hear recently that there were 12 million pigs in Holland, compared to 17 million humans ..   That's a lot of pigs... and pig meat is in everything... like some wines ... in the production of wine, gelatine can be used as a clarifying agent. The gelatine reacts with the tannins and bitter substances and absorbs cloudy elements that can then be separated from the drink... but pigs didn't really have much to do with this record... "

Having just celebrated six years in the game, Alien Communications has, in that time, delivered a headsy mix of electro and techno - fuelling countless parties, artist debuts, and a raft of top-tier releases. Regularly pushing the envelope with events like The Big Bang and a residency at The Lion & Lamb, AC’s booking policy has welcomed an array of heavy hitters, including Underground Resistance, Radioactive Man, DJ Stingray, Juan Atkins, Dopplereffekt and Jane Fitz - the list goes on.

Beyond exploring the far reaches of Detroit electro and techno, as well as showcasing the very best talent from the UK and Europe at his events, the Alien Communications label has become a creative home for the studio output of an exciting clutch of artists. From homegrown heroes such as Domenic Cappello, Ste Roberts, Polytunnel, Adam Curtain and Hardacre, to the expansive “Astral Projections” VA release, AC has made a clear statement of intent.

With Alien Communications’ star rising exponentially, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the UK artist’s turn on our InSessions mix series - and he hasn’t disappointed. Welding bomb-proof beats, outrageous acid lines, and fathoms-deep basslines to robotic aesthetics, this mix simultaneously looks back in time while fast-forwarding far into the future. To say the future is bright for Alien Communications would be an understatement, as he continues to weave his way across the world’s finest dancefloors.

Alien Communications - Trommel InSession 161

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.

Berlin based record label, founded by Barbara Preisinger:
Every minute we are listening to music we are sharing a few specific moments of the musician´s life.
Our most beloved pieces of music are usually more than just the sum of beats, chords and notes: they also reflect on a period in the life of its producer. In addition to the musical experience each work also contains current life situations, memories and future expectations, some included intentionally, some unconsciously. 

Somehow it doesn't seem appropriate to put these SLICES OF LIFE only onto a hard drive amongst hundreds and thousands of imageless files, fearing that the next crash will delete and destroy everything. This is why instead of watching a list of track titles on a screen there are still so many music lovers who prefer to hold the result of all these hours of work and musical commitment in their hands as timeless documents printed onto vinyl. 

Therefore  Slices Of Life is featuring vinyl as preferred media for deep, warm sounding, funky and diverse club music.
