Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) [Cover]

standing mix series, Ruede (real name Tobias) Hagelstein returns with an Alien-invasion, space-history themed three track EP for Tiefschwarz’s ever-reliable imprint, Souvenir Music. 

Hailing from the rural surroundings of Berlin, Hagelstein is a longtime fixture of Berlin's music scene, arriving in the capital in 2000 and kicking off a DJ and production career soon after. In addition to his own releases through labels like Souvenir, Output, and Kitsune, he's released music with Fraenzen Texas as The Cheapers, a staple of the Upon.You label. Besides his keen and consistent release schedule, Ruede DJs regularly at Watergate, playing as a resident there since 2006.

Ruede’s new EP for Souvenir keeps in line with his unique, interstellar sound; three quirky, eccentric cosmic cuts which stand unparalleled by other producers right now. Step on board and prepare yourself for an interplanetary journey, expertly produced and navigated by Mr Hagelstein.

Born from the desire to explore the space between minimalism and emotional depth, an artistic constraint that turned every sound into a precious element. The project is the work of Astral, who crafted immersive atmospheres with soft analog pads and meticulously designed hi-hat patterns.

From the very first moment, the listener is wrapped in warm, enveloping soundscapes: vintage-character pads drenched in long-tail reverbs and ping-pong delays create a sonic horizon where notes meld and dissolve in constant metamorphosis. Each pad layer is subtly modulated via LFOs and dynamic filters to keep the harmonic fabric continuously breathing.

Rhythm comes through in its most essential form: a clean, deep kick paired with hi-hat samples that are sliced, diced, and reassembled into ever-shifting patterns. Micro-automations of filter cutoff and gentle side-chain compression on the kick make the hi-hats dance within the reverb tails, punctuating the ethereal environments with rhythmic peaks of intensity.

The album unfolds as a meditative journey where minimalism isn’t cold austerity but a path to deeper emotional resonance. Every detail of sound design, every wash of reverb, and every tonal shade becomes an emotional touchpoint. Tracks flow seamlessly into one another, carrying the listener through a spatial continuum where time seems to slow.

With this release, Astral confirms a vision of electronic music that is spare yet deeply felt—a fusion of technology and human emotion in a single sonic experience. Perfect for late-night listening in dim light, it invites immersion in an inner landscape that reflects on the infinite possibilities of minimalist sound.

PREMIERE : Rebelski - Paper Tree (Original Mix) [All Day I Dream]

I recorded this album in 1982 in Abidjan. I was 20 yo and it was my first release.
Today, I'm proud to share with you the remastered versions of these famous tracks.

Check the whole story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasimika

"[...] Two koras, a balafon, and a splendid female chorus backing Jawara's lead make for a deserved best-seller among Africans in France. This is contemporary-traditional Mandingo music, purely and wonderfully performed and admirably recorded."
- John Storm Roberts, All Music Guide 

"[...] I swear the emotion is higher here, the weave a quantum more intense. And of such quanta are world-music classics made.
[...] Yet once again his confident interweave and powerfully West African (Guinéan?) vocal feel (technique?) overwhelm secular skepticism. Right, this kind of Beauty is an ideological construct. Don't we all deserve a vacation once in a while?"
- Robert Christgau, www.robertchristgau.com - Dean of American Rock Critics

"I'm not sure when I first heard the sound of a kora, but I do remember that everything changed in 1983 when I brought home an album by Djeli Moussa Diawara I found at Sterns African records Centre [...]. Only four songs, all of them long, and I played this entrancing thing over and over, marvelling at the mixture of kora and guitar, the soaring voice of Moussa and the dreamy answering chorus of women. The endless circles of sound from the balaphon were hypnotising. I played all four songs on Capital Radio, and found that listeners were as enchanted as I was. "
- Charlie Gillett, www.charliegillett.com - The sound of the world (Dec 01, 2006) 

" [...] at the moment the album is scandalously unavailable. [...] " —Charlie Gillett, World of Music (01/2009)

Unfortunately, Charlie will not be able to listen to this remastered version. RIP.

So much more important than any of the parties, the interminable travel, magazine covers or cash, every great DJ should begin first and foremost, with one goal: to be the most avid collector. Honing down the multitude of records is his task, through unearthing and treasuring music, new and old; almost as a traveler navigating his way through the ocean of new sounds. It&apos;s this constant drive for sonic exploration that&apos;s responsible for Souvenir, the Berlin label spearheaded by the brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz, better known to the world simply as Tiefschwarz.

With over five years in existence, the label has steadily amassed an impressive roster of artists, forming a closely-knit family of upcoming producers around them, as well as working alongside some of the leading figures in contemporary electronic music. It’s also been a home for most of Tiefschwarz’s own output with the young label’s very first release being the single ‘Hey’ back in 2006, recorded under the brother’s Ichundu alias. Since then they’ve had a ten-year celebratory ‘Best Of’ compilation, an album ‘Chocolate’ and their ‘In The City’ label sampler. With a whole host of artists having released singles along the way, including names like Riton, Phonique and Ziggy Kinder, the label has now become home to a steady group of talented young producers, Re.You, Sante, Chris Wood &amp; Meat and Ruede Hagelstein. Ruede himself recently released his debut album, ‘Soft Pack’ alongside his band The Noblettes, an electro-indie sound with an ethereal, downbeat version of his dancefloor anthem ‘Emergency’. In order to foster up and coming talent, Souvenir launched a digital-only label called Souvenirplus, and with plenty already on the cards for 2012 (including perhaps a much anticipated, new Tiefschwarz album), this small label proves exactly why Berlin really is the world capital for contemporary electronic music.
