Feels good to be back outside again, doesn’t it?

True, it’s not the same as it was before. But will it ever be? 
Maybe it will even be better if it won’t. Healthier. Going for the long run. 

Less destroying, more creating. 
Less tempo, more leisure. 
Less taking, more giving.

Gaining back a good balance is what counts now. If you had that balance before, it will be like riding a bicycle. And if you didn’t, learning how to ride one is easy. Despite of maybe being frustrating at first, the process of learning is what makes it fun in the end. 

If you need a teacher, we’ll kindly refer you to Sarah Wild. She knows how to maneuver quite a number of different terrains, yet keeping the balance is kind of like her specialty. 

Even if the bike you want to ride is just a metaphorical one, you’ll learn a great deal.
You’ll see: soon those training wheels will come off. 

Then you will do a wheelie in no time.

About UNWANTED:

So this is how this century's roaring 20s start.

A virus is keeping the whole world in check. Daily life is restricted to the bare minimum, nightlife doesn't happen at all. The rich become even richer and more people than ever become poor because of losing their source of income. On this note: Millions of artists, musicians, DJs and others alike are not only unable to do their jobs, but also have to find new ways of expressing themselves.

With UNWANTED, Drosssel's podcast host Bollek is giving some of them a stage to reflect upon their life in lockdown and speak for the greater whole, that's left unheard and feels unwanted in these times, when it's actually the virus that nobody wants.

Bleierne Schwere 

Der Tag zieht an mir vorbei wie ein Film. Die Momente, Minuten und Stunden fliegen an mir vorüber und ich nehme meine Umwelt wie durch einen Filter wahr. Die heutigen Ereignisse, Begegnungen und Gespräche erscheinen retrospektiv surreal. Die Erinnerungen daran sind verschwommen, die bleierne Schwere in mir hingegen omnipräsent. Jegliche Handlung benötigt ein ungewöhnliches hohes Maß an Willenskraft und will umgehend mit Entspannung vergolten werden. Mein Terminplan ist wie ein Spiegelbild meines derzeitigen Zustandes. Ein bisschen was geschafft und sehr viel mehr aufgeschoben. 
Entgegen aller Widerstände raffe ich mich auf. Wenn die Pflicht ruft, hat man einfach keine Wahl. Wie heißt es so schön, wer feiert, kann auch arbeiten. 

Der Züricher DJ Naïmaste hat diesen KataHaifisch Podcast für uns zusammengestellt und aufgenommen. Er beschreibt sich selbst als musikalischen Geschichtenerzähler. Vorzüglich mixt er Musik aus den Genres Downtempo,  Melodic-, Groove- und Deep House. Naïmaste schöpft für dieses Set aus der unendlichen Vielfalt der Musik. Gelassen und in aller Seelenruhe kombiniert er belebende Rhythmen und ästhetische Melodien. Die angenehmen Vocals verleihen der Komposition den letzten Schliff. 
Dieses Set lässt sich in keine Schublade stecken. Es lebt von seiner bunten und ausgelassen Vielfalt. Hier ist für jeden Musikliebhaber etwas dabei. 
Wir bedanken uns und wünschen einen angenehmen Vizefreitag <3

This month we have the pleasure to do a Mbuki Mvuki with the one and only Gazbee! Her groovy way of storytelling will wobble your bum even when seated.  

The born and raised Egyptian Gazbee, didn’t really plan to become a DJ - it just clicked between her and the decks the first time she messed around with them. And when it clicks, it’s like magic. Magic between her, the music and everyone that’s listening or dancing to it. It’s the fact that we’re all in sync, in the physical and emotional planes, that keeps her going.

If we ask Gazbee, we should reach out to https://soundcloud.com/deinbollek, @IsabeauFort, https://soundcloud.com/kittimimi, https://soundcloud.com/yolanda-frei or https://soundcloud.com/lemonella - some of her favorites - for a future Mbuki Mvuki Mix. Let's see who's up for it! And definitely check out https://soundcloud.com/gazbeee 's soundcloud as there are many more groovy podcasts made by her for you to be listened to!

Thanks Jilles for the artwork <3 https://www.instagram.com/jillesvanalen/

Leaving Laurel has announced their sophomore album ‘when the quiet comes’ will land May 19 via Anjunadeep, with the first single ‘one last thing you never said’ out now. The announcement marks a new chapter for band members Gordon Huntley and Griff Fulton following the difficult loss of Pierce Fulton, whose talent and passion were immortalised in Leaving Laurel’s acclaimed self-titled 2020 debut album. 

There is a unique songwriting process central to ‘when the quiet comes’; a reflective record awash with warm piano, inviting textural percussion, and delicate melodies. As Huntley discovered recordings laid down by himself and Pierce years prior, he was driven to continue what they had started. Like seeds planted in the winter, forgotten musical ideas emerged and flourished, providing a cathartic sense of closure for Huntley and a new musical beginning for the band: 
“Who do we become when we’re alone? When the story is over, and we've acknowledged the silence - that's when the quiet comes.

Making this record was my search to find purpose after Pierce passed. It was a light to show me a way forward. A way for me to grieve, a way for me to hold onto the memories. A eulogy to my friend.

This is the album I always hoped Pierce and I would make together one day. It's my attempt to continue the dream we had, to take what we had started with our first album to a secret place beyond the club. To make a soundtrack for the moments where everything stands still. A record that could showcase the culmination of every unique influence we shared as friends. A record that could be important enough to outlive us both. A record that I hope would have made him proud.

It’s the hardest I’ve worked on anything in my entire life, and the proudest I've ever been of any music I've made. If the road for leaving laurel were to end here, I know I gave it my all. I created something with the pieces of what Pierce and I had started, and it feels like the most honest album I could show to the world.” 

- Gordon Huntley

A tale of two old friends, Gordon and Pierce, Leaving Laurel connected the duo musically for the first time after being close friends for almost a decade. Since their debut release in 2020, the duo have garnered a fervent fanbase and widespread support. Their recently released EP, ‘fireflies (for as far as we could see)’, received an overwhelmingly warm reception from fans and tastemakers alike, including Black Coffee, Sultan + Shepard and David Hohme, as well as further radio support from BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM.

We're proud to present the first listen from the third instalment for La Sape;(SAPE003) is from one of 30/70’s founding fathers. Melbourne bassist, composer and producer Horatio Luna. The left-leaning jazz musician known for boldly experimental compositions moves towards a soulful house sound on Cultural Warriors with a nod to Moodymann.

This record features the innovations of jazz-soul-bap producer/instrumentalists Nap King Cole (Silent Jay x Jace XL), Perrin Moss(Hiatus Kaiyote) and Ziggy Zeitgeist(Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange) who have each, in there own right, re-created and re-invented the ideology of what it means to be a jazz musician in the modern age.

Cultural Warriors came about by accident. A chance recording of a jam session curated in conjunction with Melbourne selector Eddie Mac. Each track has Horatio Luna’s signature organic, lo-fi, loose sound characteristic to a warm personality; chopped and stretched into four grimy, soulful house jams.

From Horatio Luna: “The audio from the desk was raw, dirty and peeking but the ideas were so strong I had to use it... I’m thankful that the genius engineer was MIA most of the night, sleeping in the booth, it made for a beautiful dirty aesthetic. On the gig we took things to the future, playing for hours and just jamming out on what we were feeling... It was like a dream! Completely improvised house music. Serene Favero and Milan Ring came through, as they were out on the town, everything bumped up a level from there!”

Horatio Luna - Bass Guitar/Programming
Ziggy Zeitgeist - Drums
Nap King Cole - Keyboards
Perrin Moss - Percussion
Syrene Favero - Vocals

Produced at the Mandarin Dreams Studio
Releases May 11th 2018

Horatio Luna would like to thank Nap King Cole and Perrin Moss for their continued guidance, compassion, inspiration and creative integrity. As well as, Ziggy Zeitgeist and Thhomas for believing in the music, believing in me and having my back.

Resident UA club's - Alchemist Bar/Golda/Mantra/Gram. Rune label DJ. 

Alexander Khomenko, known to electronic music fans as Sparkless, was born on August 9, 1982, in the Northern capital of Russia- Saint Petersburg. Even then, without knowing anything of the boy’s future, life was leaving an imprint of warm summer rain chords and melodic birds’ vocals on the soul of the future artist. A love of music was not inherited by the boy, as it is with most music careers, but it came quietly. It’s hard to recall the day when it happened, but it was the first records from England and Italy which fell into his hands that triggered it. Later, in his more conscious years, Sparkless began himself to write and collect music. Alexander parted from writing music at the end of the 90s, focusing his attention as a listener. It was only by coincidence that he got into DJing, while registering for a music site as a fan of ONE of the Djs, and he decided to try his hand at the art of mixing songs. This process carried him away and stuck, so to this day he keeps following the passion, bringing consistently fresh mixes to his fans again and again. 
To date, Sparkless is the author of more than 150 music reviews in his home country, and for the last 8 years ruzzia’s top music site has ranked him in their top 100 DJs. 
Alexander characterizes the music that he promotes as “an intellectual and emotional cocktail, with a deep, philosophical meaning”. Preferred styles: Deep house, Nu Disco, DNB, Soulfull, Atmospheric breaks, House. 
Sparkless is a real multi-DJ. Resident Alchemist Bar, Mantra Club.
