One of the first Canadian producers to set up shop in Berlin’s electronic epicentre, Kitchener-raised Mike Shannon has been a funky force to be reckoned with, both at home and abroad for over 15 years. His DJ career took off along the Detroit-Toronto axis, where he devised a signature that straddles quivering techno, hypnotic jazz and buttery deep house – a sweeping musical vision that remains integral to his sound. Shannon quickly added the qualifiers 'producer' and 'label owner' to his resumé upon moving to Montréal in the late nineties; he contributed to the homegrown minimal techno explosion by launching record label Cynosure and the more experimental Revolve Recordings (the latter with Jeff Milligan). As head A&R for the esteemed Cynosure, he’s helped boost the profile of like-minded artists such as Deadbeat, Akufen and Ernesto Ferreyra. He has released three albums to date on some of techno’s most notable imprints (Plus 8, Force Inc, ~scape), while continuing to blur tonal lines with his sultry, downtempo jazz trio Blue Fields (with Takeshi Nishimoto and Fadila) and an upcoming live act with German house pal DeWalta. After celebrating Cynosure’s 10th anniversary at MUTEK five years ago, Shannon returns with a new live set, to do what he does best: transcend techno clichés.

For this podcast we have the pleasure of presenting to you guys an extraordinary 3 hour Live session recorded in one the most important venues of our lovely scene, the one and only Club Der Visionaere, the recording was performed on July the 2nd of this Year by our good friends and great artists Wareika.

Formed in 2007 by Jakob Seidensticker, Florian Schirmacher and Henri Raabe, Wareika was accidentally gathered on stage for the first time at Hamburg's mythical Mojo Club. Since then, the german trio has built a very singular sound signature after a decade of playing together. Revealing the diverse influences and musical educations from all three individuals, the band's discography has been built over a solid live experience. Being academically trained in Jazz and Classical but also self taught through electronic music, Jakob, Florian and Henrik are able to sing, play guitars, drum machines, pianos, synthesizers, bass, percussions and way more. 

Concocting their stylistic blend with meditative Jazz, hypnotic Dub, meticulous Techno and subtle House, it leaves no surprise as you think about the high level of versatility of Wareika's musical spirit. Calling from King Tubby, Sun Ra or afrobeat master Fela Kuti, they develop a dazzling kaleidoscope of melodies and polyrhythmic patterns over four to the floor beats that is entirely unique in the electronic musie scene. 

The trio holds the mastery of enhancing a crowd with a multitude of tools and elements.The shape of their sound, bolded with low ends, is fusing Techno and Jazz into an electric jam outlined by magical madness and improvisation. When back in studios, Wareika has a sturdy work ethic that has brought them to release on many respected labels, as diverse as Perlon, Visionquest, Tartlet, Eskimo. Circus Company, Future Classic among many others...

Wareika are  natural born performers.
Get into this great piece of pure jam and improvisation that will guide you through lots of different shades of house and techno, intricate patterns and a whole lot of soul.

We are pleased to share with you this new episode!
Just sit back, let yourself go and enjoy!

Sol Asylum mix series 001- Vincent Lemieux at Sol Asylum-CDV 12.07.2018

1991 - A time when some of us had not even been born yet or were too young to comprehend the vast galaxy of electronic music. 100hz by this point had already put out their self-released 12” ‘Low Frequency Overload’ and their follow up ‘Catching Spiders’ seems to have not aged a day in the 30 years since it came out. We are not sure how this is possible but we are sure it has something to do with magic.
