An Invisible Crown

FIVESIXSEVENKATE @ KRAMLADEN DISKOANIMALE 24/03/23

2024 really feels like the most exiting year so far concerning the developements for SAI-MLD, with so many great guestmixes and many meaningful invitations for me on other platforms. And finally the release of my MLD-Compilation on Bandcamp, related to the upcoming live event near Berlin next Summer 2025! So thankfully about all this! 
And as this year comes to an end soon I would love to crown it with something special what in my view brings some kind of  fresh wind on my channel, with some inspirations from a different direction. And it's given from such a passionated DJ and producer: Stefan Summesberger a.k.a. SOUMEZ, located in Vienna, Austria! @soumez

We connected recently via social media because he has a very cool insta account where he is digging in his record collection and presents and introduce his favorite tracks from different gengres in such a lovely way! (www.instagram.com/soumez_1) That's how Stefan catched my attention and obviously it happened vise versa.. By some chat moments we found out a lot of parallels how we see the meaning of diversity of gengres in a DJ set and he could relate immediatly to the significance of the name of my mix series "Moments Of Light 'n Darkness". So of course I invited him to do a guestmix for me and very proud now to present such a great set in form of a live session together with some live dubby fx from his friend El Coca!

What I like about this contribution is the fact, this artist is someone who does not come from the, let's say, usual circle of people that you would expect to see on my platform. And that is perhaps exactly the sign that the year 2025 will bring: I am not at all determined by which scene someone comes from...or whether someone even belongs to a particular scene. The main thing for me is enthusiasm for similar things that provide points of contact that we can all relate to. That creates a bond.

Some personal words from him about this mix:
"This live session brings together DJ SOUMEZ on the decks and EL COCA with live dubs (effects), creating a unique tribute to dubtechno for Sai-MLD.

The inspiration for this mix stems from the name of the series: Moments of Light and Darkness (MLD). While I enjoy exploring diverse genres as a DJ, this set challenged me to focus on dubtechno—a cornerstone of the incredible platform that SAI, a true musicnerd, lover & enthusiast for dubtechno and dubrelated sounds, has built over the years.

To honor this genre, I created a journey that revisits dubtechno as a central root while branching into related styles like Dubstep, Dub, Steppas, Breaks & Garage, Rave, House, and Detroit Techno. To deepen the "Dubbiness" of the experience, I invited my friend and former production partner, EL COCA, to perform live dubs, adding dynamic effects that reflect the genre’s origins.

The result is a two-hour exploration of sound—an intricate sequence of Moments of Light and Darkness. Enjoy the ride!"

About the artist:
For Stefan Summesberger, a.k.a. Soumez, music defies categories and genres. With his Alien Entertainment project, he achieved chart success and earned recognition from icons like Laurent Garnier and Makossa & Megablast. Tracks like "Full Speed Ahead ft. Rider Shafique" found their way into the sets of superstars such as Chase & Status and Adam Freeland.
Born in Vienna, Soumez has been DJing across the USA, UK, Africa, and Europe since the late 1990s. His unique style blends diverse musical influences from his travels, combining opposites—bitter with sweet, brute with smooth—to create gripping, hypnotic sounds.

JUST KEEP DANCING THROUGH THE DAY S2E19 #ukgarage  #ukbass

Coming Home stands for a return to my musical roots, back to art and culture. When I first started out as a Hip Hop DJ in 1991, spinning records in smoky basements, it was all about music, passion, and the joy of discovering sounds — sharing them with others and experiencing the moment together. We gathered in record stores, searching for the latest releases, and through music we connected.

I was fortunate to grow up in Vienna during a time when nights were shaped by a wild variety of styles — from Dope Beats, Soul, Funk, Afro, Disco, Dub, House, Breakbeats, Drum & Bass to all kinds of forward-thinking electronic music. I experienced the first illegal techno parties, as I was too young entering officially clubs and I had good connection to record stores showing me the hot stuff on Vinyl. It was a journey filled with incredible encounters — people who opened doors that later became life-changing — and always guided by the emotional grounding that music provided.

A lot of this foundation comes from my family. My grandmother showed me music’s power as an emotional anchor in a world that could often feel heavy. After long school days, she would play the piano for hours, teaching me that music is not just sound, but pure emotion — my deepest love. My uncle, on the other hand, sparked my obsession with high-fidelity systems, teaching me how to truly appreciate records in all their quality and detail.

These influences shaped the way I listen, create, and share music. Now, nearly three decades later, I can look back on a journey filled with collaborations, discoveries, and experiences that I carry into every project. It feels like the right time to give back, to pass on the knowledge, energy, and love that music has given me.

“Coming Home #1 features the incredible soul and voice of Aminata Seydi, weaving together timeless house classics and newer gems that resonated with me in this moment.”

Coming Home #1 - Megablast feat. Aminata

Music writer John Doran ventures into the strange world of Richard D James. Over the course of three decades James, known to his legion of hardcore fans as Aphex Twin, has achieved the primary but evasive aim of most serious musicians - the invention, exploration and curation of a truly unique and inimitable sound.

BBC R4 - The Cult Of Aphex Twin

Born in Vienna, Soumez has been touring the USA, UK and the African Continent as well as a numerous European countries as a DJ since the late 1990s. The musical influences from his travels shape his unique style, which is characterized by a seamless fusion of diverse musical styles. Soumez is driven by the fascination of opposites: both his productions and his DJ sets always combine the bitter with the sweet and the brute with the smooth. What emerges is the exciting new, the gripping and the hypnotic.
