lunatic, come through, 
i am your time machine, intensity is my gift. 
you’ll ask yourself if you have it all, 
to give the mellotron kiss. 
what is love in lucy's dream, 
if we fly away to follow the disco ball? 
with cosmo sismo, like going back to '83, 
start the imaginarium, control me, 
and the fantasmagoria will be about you.

Tracklisting ➡️ https://bit.ly/tracklist_drymartini

We’re proud to announce Michael Mayer as our next guest. His exclusive mix for Schirmchendrink is as classic and sophisticated as his drink of choice, the Dry Martini. Known for its minimalistic elegance and sharp bite, the Dry Martini perfectly embodies Mayer’s approach to music – refined, potent, and balanced with just the right amount of flair. In this mix, Mayer serves up an intoxicating blend of deep grooves, sweeping melodies, and unexpected twists that leave a lasting impact.
 
A legendary figure in electronic music, Michael Mayer has spent decades shaping sounds, from steering the iconic Kompakt label to producing critically acclaimed albums. His brand new release, The Floor Is Lava, showcases his boundless curiosity and relentless pursuit of musical depth. If you listen closely, you’ll find some gems from the album in this mix. Mayer’s mixing style reflects his ethos as a DJ who digs deep across genres, always seeking fresh flavors to share with his listeners. Just as the perfect martini strikes a harmony between gin and vermouth, Mayer's mix finds balance between the nostalgic and the novel, the cerebral and the danceable.
 
With each track, Mayer layers complexity and warmth, much like the subtle botanicals in a finely crafted martini. This mix is a journey through his musical palette, a toast to all those who appreciate a finely tuned set and the art of storytelling through sound. Sip on this one slowly and let the depth of Mayer's artistry wash over you – it’s a mix with a timeless feel, ready to be savored.
 
Cheers!

Michael Mayer - Fusion Festival 2025

Nebula Nights

Arno Gonzalez is producing a modern house sound that sometimes ventures into melodic territory close to Electronica, the Angevin artist was first spotted by the Parisian label Missive, then by Timid Records, on which he released his debut album “Encounters”, as well as a number of EPs and remixes...

Today, he is one of the spearheads and leaders of Brique Rouge, David Duriez's label, with whom he is on a mission to perpetuate and reinvent a certain vision of House and Techno music.

With this second album, which marks “the end of innocence”, Arno explodes the codes of his music to better transcend them. We find his inimitable touch, a particular sound that is sometimes minimal, sometimes warm and melodious, a real signature on 13 tracks that tell a real story.

If this is the end of innocence, it's also the beginning of maturity.




Brique Rouge label is a pillar of the French House underground since 1999.

The label continues to disseminate the electronic sound David Duriez believes in, far from formatting and excessive vulgarity. An eclectic electronic sound that remains rooted in the underground and on vibe above all.  In general, the team's artists benefit from a carte blanche, and it's above all the state of mind that counts. The label isn't looking for success, it's a success. The success of being able to release music without compromise. With one release a week on platforms since 2020, the label (and its divisions RZ Muzik & Obliqu3) is seen as a key player on the French underground electronic scene, given the activism it demonstrates.

Faithful to the spirit of this music's beginnings - Acid House, Chicago and New York House, or the power of Belgian or Detroit Techno - the label has been churning out releases for 25 years without ever sinking into cynicism, nostalgia or parody. Brique Rouge has established itself as a key French label for the distribution of emerging and creative artists (known and unknown) who draw their inspiration from the roots of the genre, but also pursue the search for new vibes. Without commercial imperatives, the label innovates and denies itself nothing. No formatting, no time sacrificed on the altar of the platforms of streaming, with Brique Rouge it's not the face of the human behind the machine that is highlighted, but its music.

06 - Arno Gonzalez - Burne Out

We were so happy to be able to contribute to the great The Flow Sessions series! As DJs, record collectors and label owners, our history as manic music lovers dates back to the mid 1980s when extended New Wave dance versions conquered the clubs - and our hearts. Thus, „The Flow“ we express with our mix is our own journey through time, through five decades, and the music we love. As Kraftwerk and Italo Disco are huge influences for us, you will notice references to them more than once. It is also a fact that in the late 80s and 90s, we never were real Techno or Vocal House boys - somehow we were more into New Beat, Electro, Punk, Psychedelic Rock and Indie Dance in all those years before the „Space“ Disco revival started in 2005 roughly - which is 100% our cup of tea as you will hear as well. We were always fascinated with the ideas around how we all are robots to some extent, how cool space flight is and what probably exists beyond our current states of consciousness. As we have grown up in a highly industrialised coal mining and steelworks area, dark dystopian landscapes moulded our personalities just as the first euphoric dance club visits in the 80s. We founded The Robot Scientists in 2007 and have since played in many places like Berlin, Beirut or Barcelona. we released more than 400 artists on Emerald & Doreen and made more than 70 mixtapes – but this is our most personal, most complete and most cosmic one-- an outline of the music that has ever been most important to us and which we love to play if we have at least 3, (or better 5 or 6) hours time. It features some of our all-time favorites and many new tracks too which have just been released. On our 55-track cosmic journey, we travel from spaced-out 90s Downbeat, some of Andrew Weatherall‘s Leftfield favorites, psychedelic Indie dance, etheric Synthpop, Electro-Disco- and Italo-infused trancy House, lo-fi Afro-Disco, Post-Punk-inspired Dark Disco, trippy Space Disco, smash-hitty Disco House, Cosmic-Balearic Disco to classic House anthems, listen to the astronauts landing on the moon, military whistleblowers talking about how many alien species they have catalogued in the 1960s already, but more than anything it is a journey into love and unknown worlds for you to enjoy.

Thanks for having us again, 
@therobotscientists The Robot Scientists aka Markus Schneider and Stefan Maurer, Saarbrücken/Germany, February 2021.
