Here it is - the last month of winter. Only a few weeks left until we can welcome spring at least formally. Only a few weeks left until winter melancholy might fade away or turn into spring melancholy. Berlin’s winter vibes - that’s only one of a few inspirations that gave birth to Schleichcast°36 (read below). It's funny how winter (blues) could be the underlying mood to create this mix, but at the same time, with its gentle groove and all those musical blasts from today and the past, it might also put you in a state where you remember and relive more lighthearted memories from when those banger tracks were playing. In case you are sort of a downtempo nerd plus someone who tends to connect specific tracks or sets to past moments or phases in life. Or picture this scenario: Right now you are not even located in Berlin nor in a comparable climate zone and this set plays in the background while the sun is shining on your belly. Totally different vibe outcome, right?! One way or another, these two things are for sure: Warmer days will come and we think this Schleichcast is an outstanding musical journey. Thanks so much dear Sophie for contributing to our series with this listening pleasure!

~Zeit für ein schleichendes Frage & Antwort Spiel~

>>Who are you and where are you from?
I'm Sophie and I'm from France, I've been living in Berlin for 5 years now :) To think I was only supposed to stay for 2 months at the beginning...

>>How did you learn to mix?
My roommates, the awesome Total Regal, showed me how it works. I wanted to learn how to mix to send a set to my little sister who was in the hospital and couldn't be contacted or visited for months. I wanted to share my emotions and love to her through music. Later I noticed that I also love to play in public and share beautiful moments, good vibes and music on a dancefloor.

>>What inspired you for the set?
Quite a few things: the word schleichend, or as I understand it & the winter vibes in Berlin. It's also a selection of tracks or contributions from my favourite artists (the voice of the wonderful Lemonella saying powerful words by Terrence McKenna, the soundtrack of my favourite film, tracks from Wide Awake, Brigade,...).

>>What is the moment in your life as an artist that has had the greatest impact on you? 
The moment when I realised that I really wanted to keep on mixing, and learn to become better. It was at Kitkat this summer, for my first "big Gig", b2b with my roommate. The vibe shared on the dance floor and the energy of the people touched me a lot, it was such a fun moment, and I thought: "I really, really want to do this again!" 

>>What are the goals you want to achieve as an artist? 
My dream would be that it continues: to be allowed to play in the places where I have danced for years: in my favourite clubs in Berlin (mensch meier & kater blau are on the top list), in festivals during the summer...and one dream very high one the list, create my own tracks one day.

~~~~~~~
Unfug und Radau, ein düstrer Ton,
brechen aus der stillen Nacht.
Im Lärm erwacht, was längst verlor'n,
und holt ans Licht, was Angst bewacht.

Da löst das Chaos alte Ketten,
zerschlägt die Mauern, Stein für Stein.
Was wir im Dunkeln tief verstecken,
wird laut, will endlich ehrlich sein.

So folge ich dem wilden Ruf,
verlass die Angst, die schwer mich hält.
Im Unfug liegt ein neuer Mut –
der mir die Schatten nimmt und fällt.

Täino (https://soundcloud.com/tainovibe) and Vanilla Dinosaurs (https://soundcloud.com/user-186513876) have unveiled their latest creation, "Way of Doing" craft a soundscape that bridges genres, pulling from elements of slowrave, deep house, and downtempo. It seamlessly blends the duo's experimental artistry with rich, atmospheric textures. 
The track showcases a lush interplay of warm, organic synths, hypnotic basslines, and intricate percussion, creating a sonic journey that feels both
modern and timeless.

"Way Of Doing," is further elevated by a masterful remix from
Bianco&Schlemann (https://soundcloud.com/bianco_schlemann). This remix infuses the original composition with fresh energy, offering listeners a dynamic reinterpretation that complements the EP's innovative spirit.

Finishing my late autumn week in Berlin with a long downtempo gig at sweet & sweat, a cozy sauna yurt in Kreuzberg. Thanks for having me there

Jurtenmukke - downtempo in der Jurtensauna

Opening Set at Sound of Symmetry, Los Angeles - Berlin (NoHo) 12/14/2024

Crossfade Sounds welcomes Belgian producer Dream Cycle Inc. for his label debut with the It Feels Like Healing EP. The project is the creative outlet of Jan, an artist whose formative years were shaped by the adventurous spirit of the 90s, when labels such as Planet Dog and acts like Eat Static, Banco De Gaia, and Future Loop Foundation fused trance, dub, ambient, and drum & bass into forward-thinking hybrids. These early influences, together with the psychedelic voyages of compilations like Feed Your Head and Dubnology, continue to resonate in Dream Cycle Inc.'s work, where echoes of techno-infused dub and liquid drum & bass find their way into deep, meditative frameworks.

The EP features two original compositions from Dream Cycle Inc., each reflecting his passion for bridging atmospheres with rhythm and narrative. Adding depth to the release, Belgian artist ZeroA returns to the label with two reworks that leans into his own textured aesthetic, while Romanian producer Silishteanu delivers an alternate interpretation, both remixers being well-regarded names within the Crossfade Sounds catalogue.

Dream Cycle Inc. - Primitive Belief System (Silishteanu Remix) [Crossfade Sounds]

A luminous exploration of memory and celestial echoes, where each note shimmers with fragments of the warmth of the past and a radiant reflection. The sounds glide like rays of sunlight through forgotten spaces, connecting stillness with light. The experience gently unfolds, tracing the delicate imprint of time across endless horizons.
