Cyrk - ITALO MODERNI Showcase [03.02.2024]

Philipp Lauer is a veteran German DJ and producer who’s been carving his path through the scene for over two decades. Known for his diverse musical portfolio, he’s ventured into many collaborative projects and aliases over the years. Each of them offering a unique sonic experience and pushing the boundaries of electronic music to explore new territories.
 
You might have heard of him as Arto Mwambe with Christian Beißwenger, Black Spuma with Fabrizio Mammarella, Crabsticks with Bård Aasen Lødemel, Hotel Lauer with his brother Jacob, T & P with Tim Sweeney, Talamanca System with Gerd Janson and Mark Barrot, Tuff City Kids with Gerd Janson (again), and of course solo as Lauer.
 
His musical journey can be traced back to his early days as a skateboard kid enamored with the sounds of the '80s and '90s. It was through his exploration of electronic music that he found his true calling, diving headfirst into production despite humble beginnings with cheap software and a steep learning curve.
 
While his music is deeply rooted in house and disco, his sound is characterized by its melodic beauty and infectious grooves. He blends elements of nostalgia with modern-day sensibilities, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.
 
As Philipp continues to evolve and explore new musical horizons, one thing remains constant: his true passion for music. Whether he's in the studio crafting beats or behind the decks captivating audiences with his electrifying sets, Lauer's love for music shines through in everything he does. With each new project and collaboration, he continues to cement his status as one of the most influential figures in electronic music today.
 
For him, music is not just a profession but a lifelong passion, something he would continue to pursue even if it didn't pay the bills. We believe his musical journey is far from being over.
 
Don’t miss his latest releases on Permanent Vacation, Running Back, Way to France, or Bordello A Parigi while you enjoy his debut today in your favorite mix series.

Lauer - SOULMEEX PRO 008

Giorgio Isaev. The name oozes like grease from a busted gearbox, slick with the kind of sinister allure that could only gestate in the blackened womb of St. Petersburg’s underground. Born in the glowing wreckage of vodka-soaked discos and neon-lit labyrinths, Isaev built his legend like a crooked tower of Italo beats and disco bones. But he didn’t stop at legend—no, this madman rewired it. He dragged in syncopated rhythms and snake-charmer ethnic sounds, creating a Frankenstein groove that storms the gates of sanity. Istanbul tried to lock him down with its clandestine parties and velvet-rope dens, but Giorgio Isaev doesn’t do locked. He’s the jailbreak incarnate.

Enter Bruce The Bat Person and Vector Malevolent—names that sound like they were pulled straight from the book of dark alchemy. What started as underground rituals, soundtracked by the moans of overstressed speakers in rooms where the walls bleed condensation, has evolved into something far more dangerous. Their digital label, launched like a flaming arrow back in October, has already found its mark. The first release was less a record and more a manifesto—a declaration of war against the mundane. If you haven’t flinched yet, then you’re either dead or terminally dull.

Isaev’s sound? It’s a dirty bomb wrapped in 80s new wave, gothic despair, and noir-soaked menace, lobbed directly at your nervous system. Collaborations with Nothing Is Real and Epicure? Sure. A trial by fire at Solar Systo 2022? Absolutely. But that’s all just foreplay. The real chaos is still loading in the chamber. Giorgio Isaev and his Disco Pastors aren’t here to play nice. They’re here to torch the dance floor and scatter the ashes. When the last synth wails and the final beat shudders into silence, don’t bother asking who survived. Chances are, it won’t include you.

Counterterraism Guest Mix 353: Giorgio Isaev

This isn’t a biography—it’s a confession. Club Mayz doesn’t make music for the faint-hearted. Born in Antwerp, raised on glitch and melancholy, he’s the architect of dark disco cathedrals and pulsating, hypnotic soundscapes. But this time, he’s left the dancefloor behind. What he’s created now is raw, jagged, and intensely personal—a sonic excavation into the ghosts of IDM’s golden era.

It starts with a battered Sony Discman and a kid wandering through the chaos of art school. His soundtrack? Pirated CDs of Autechre, Squarepusher, and Bochum Welt, their glitchy rhythms and fractured melodies coursing through his veins like lifeblood. These weren’t just tracks—they were lifelines, cracked windows into another world. Fast-forward to today, and Mayz has reached back into that memory bank, tearing out pieces of his past to reconstruct them as something new, something alive.

This mix is no nostalgic stroll. It’s a razor’s edge between beauty and chaos. Gimmik’s “Wavefiles” shimmers like a sunrise breaking over ruins, while Squarepusher’s “Lambic 5 Poetry” crashes through like a demolition crew at full speed. Herrmann & Kleine whisper comfort into your ear just before Autechre’s “Nine” dismantles everything you thought you understood about music. And then there’s “You Wake Up Every Day”, Mayz’s own creation—a trembling, intimate relic that feels less like a track and more like a hand reaching out from the past, daring you to hold on.

This isn’t just music—it’s survival. It’s the sound of someone navigating the wreckage of memory, finding moments of clarity in the static. It’s haunting, euphoric, devastating. Club Mayz doesn’t ask you to dance; he dares you to feel.

Add2Basket - Budapest (Andro Remix)

Michael Backstage - We Rise, We Fall, We Fly

neon sweat, low ceilings, bodies moving like ghosts in sync.
a warped sax echo floating over broken garage drums,
bassline bending time somewhere between 2001 and tomorrow.

this one smells like warm plastic, cheap perfume and afterparty air.
soft chaos, sharp attitude.

Here is an excerpt of my set at La Terrrazza some weeks ago when I did the warmup for Pillow Talk :)

Leitstrahl's Boogaloo Steve in the mix for Bordello Radio in anticipation of their forthcoming album 'Chromium Dioxide'. Stay tuned!

https://bordelloaparigi.com/shop/vinyl/leitstrahl-chromium-dioxide-2lp/

'Leitstrahl were raised on a strict diet of electronic music. Electro pop. Italo Disco. Synth movie scores. This was the bread and butter of this three man Austrian outfit. With more than fifteen years of band history, the trio of Stoff, Paul Raal and Boogaloo Steve share their passion crystallised in addictive hooks, laserdance rhythms and fledgling romance, a passion that combines Hi-NRG intensity with the reflection of wave and the optimism of italo. Inspired by the 1980s, simply inspirational today.'
