The PICNIC (3rd Outing)

This week on Topshelf we are delighted to have with us Mexican Italo DJ/Producer Alex Aguayo.

A master of experimentation, Alex Aguayo (also Mahkina) has been exploring the electronic genres through his production since his housey 2016 debut ‘Stereo’ and has continued to develop his kraft exponentially, adding rich layers to his work and evolving his sound through aesthetic , moving gradually from classic house to italo house, marked by his 2019 release ‘Circuit’ which also saw remixes from Did Virgo, Thomas Banks and White Magik. 

Alex has since continued to add to his extremely impressive body of work with huge Italo / Dark Disco tracks like ‘Not Going Out’, ‘Mothership’ & ‘Robots Experience’ with Velax, ‘Left Without a Word’, ‘Light Out’, ‘Never Coming Back’, Squares & Waves’, ‘Stuck In A Timeline’, Intuitive Confusion’, ‘Altered Speech’ & ‘Away’ to name a mere few as well as recently delving even further deeper into the previously mentioned genres with a multitude of works with dark disco darling Silicodisco, including their brilliant new EP ‘Ultraviolet’ which perfectly incapsulates the depth we’re referring. 
With an already release heavy 2024, we can’t wait to hear what else he has in store for us this year but for now here’s Topshelf 0105 w/ Alex Aguayo, enjoy.

Energy 52's Café Del Mar is one of the most iconic tracks in dance music. Released in 1993, this instrumental trance anthem was named after the famous beach bar on the Balearic island, becoming synonymous with the euphoric, sun-soaked vibe of Ibiza's dance culture. Crafted by German DJs Kid Paul and Cosmic Baby, the track's mesmerizing melodies and uplifting harmonies encapsulate the quintessential sunset moment, making it a staple in the sets of DJs worldwide.

Its enduring appeal is reflected in its impressive chart performance and numerous re-releases and remixes by leading artists, ensuring its presence in dance music culture across decades. Over the years, Café Del Mar has achieved legendary status, regularly featuring in lists of the greatest dance tracks of all time. Notably, it was voted No. 1 in Mixmag's 2001 list of the "Top 100 Tunes of All Time," highlighting its almost unparalleled impact on the dance music landscape. To put it simply, Café Del Mar is a cultural phenomenon, encapsulating the spirit of an era and influencing generations of artists and fans alike.

Now this iconic track is being remixed by two of the most revered acts in electronic music, Orbital and Michael Mayer.

A key figure in Cologne's electronic scene, Michael Mayer co-founded the influential Kompakt label, contributing significantly to its direction and success. His discography includes seminal albums such as "Neuhouse" (1998), "Immer" (2002), and more recent works like "Higher" (2020) and "Connecting the Dots" (2021). Known for his meticulous remixes and collaborations with artists like Superpitcher and Kölsch, Mayer's work spans genres, touching on microhouse, experimental, and ambient techno. Beyond producing, Mayer's mix CDs, including contributions to the Fabric and DJ-Kicks series, highlight his broad musical taste and ability to curate pioneering sounds.

For his interpretation, Mayer leans into head spinning, hypnotic rhythms, with tribal drums and the patiently evolving lead line building towards a climax that is more subtle but no less effective. A near-perfect sunrise track for the payoff to all-night, al fresco summer raves.

An all too rare recording of co-founder and owner Richard Marshall kicking off the after party in the Boma on Sunday night. 

This is very much an exhibition of a DJ in his happy place, in his happy time (the heavy lifting is over). Seamlessly weaving between deep house, disco and white label obscurities, the set is also a clear homage to the music of the last ten years. 

All of the headliners who played this ten year celebration got a tip of the hat too -  the set features music from Frivolous, The Drifter, Charles Webster and Freudenthal - all of whom were on the dance floor. 

It was a night to remember that ended in an emotional and extended round of applause at the end. If you weren't there, then here we are.
