@ly-sander was highly inspired by the roots of Dance music and most specifically the Loft’s founder David Mancuso’s philosophy of building a travel through music. If this was key to his practice as a DJ, Ly Sander had at heart of including this experience with his album.   Another key influence to him is leftfield dance music artist Arthur Russell, probably one of the only musicians to use Cello in dance music.
Unsurprisingly, there is a bit of both in Ly Sander’s first album ‘Landing’. Tracks flow from one to the next in a seamless manner although they can be of different types. Some retain the use of a double bass, played by founder of the Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp’s own Vincent Bertholet. Among them ‘Windy Plains’, ‘Transcontinental Hippies’ or ‘Our Spirit Runs Deep’. They take you on a journey reminiscent of a bygone era, evoking the free-spirited essence of hippies lost in a trance-like state. Their tribal feel resonates with a timeless energy captivating the senses in such a way that it can hardly leave you untouched. ‘Our Spirit Runs Deep‘ is Ly Sander’s first vocal effort if you leave aside the monkey screams he one day laid on underground hit by him and Crowdpleaser “Bad Monkey” that made raves back in 2006!
Other tracks comprise various influences and collaborations. Amongst them, some carry a heavy burden as they are some of the last testimonies of much too early gone soul: singer, bass and guitar player Matt Bessa. He sadly passed since this collaboration took place. He appears with vocals on the tracks ‘For Your Love’ and ‘Under The Moonlight’. The whole selection lands smoothly with the so poetic and perfectly fit vocals by Berlin based Jules Etienne on the track ‘Lay Down’ before the above mentioned ‘For Your Love’ takes you to a last round of dancing. 
It felt important to Ly Sander to take as many people on board of this long term project. This explains why many remixers have worked on his material: Ripperton, Love Over Entropy, MAN2.0, Iori Wakasa, Gregorythme, Onur Ozman and Jacques Bon have all contributed with interpretations of Ly Sander’s tracks. Their efforts will be reunited on a compilation to be released beginning 2024.

SPR09 Ly Sander - Landing LP [SPECIAL PLACE]

Just as much as Ly Sander’s Landing album took you on a journey reminiscent of a bygone era, evoking the free-spirited essence of hippies lost in a trance-like state, it was important to him to offer other lectures of his trademark sound. 
Thus, an impressive roaster of top notch remixers have worked on his material, ie Ripperton (ESP, Tamed), Love Over Entropy (Lossless, OFF recordings), MAN2.0 (Espacio Cielo, Nein Records), Iori Wakasa (Dessous, Get Physical), Gregorythme (Cadenza, Cityfox), Onur Ozman (Rebirth, Noir Music), Jacques Bon (Smallville, Permanent Vacation) and up and coming producer Paul Callens (Special place) have all contributed with interpretations of Ly Sander’s tracks.

SPR12 Treasure Island - No Loss EP [SPECIAL PLACE]

Sordid Sound System made a storming entrance on Special place by remixing Treasure Island's track 'No Loss'. He returns to the label with his own productions, showing his mastery in the assembly of sonic atmospheres. Every element seems to fall right into place, every sound triggers yet another emotion.

This EP is the closest that Sordid has come to flirting with the 1980s. Throughout its duration, you can hear the sonic imprint of early 80s neo-noir cinema such as Bladerunner, Scarface, and Escape From New York.

'The Great Psychic Outdoors' is a masterpiece imbued with the DNA of the bastard lovechild of John Carpenter and The Cure. One of those tracks you could play on a tape loop for hours. Because it feels intriguing and frightening, but draws you in. Just like hiding away in a tree house and watching the world from above on a rainy day.

'I Dream Of Electric Sheep' delivers Sordid's so-called 'motorik dub', one foot in disco, one foot in the Caribbean, with a nod to Compass Point classics by the likes of Talking Heads and Grace Jones. Like the rest of this EP, these qualitative sounds called for a stellar remixer. With close to a hundred remixes under the belt for artists ranging from Radiohead to Isolée or Romanthony and a massive catalogue of productions that dared to leave dance music for ambient sonic explorations, Ripperton was the perfect pick.

His reimagining of 'I Dream of Electric Sheep' transports us into daring dreamlike realms of rhythmic exploration, Deckard's beat-up Spinner escapes the smog of the dystopian city for the clouds high above.

And to close us out with a vital burst of cracked up mechanical energy, 'David, I'm Just A Curious Soul' brings searing phantasmagorical acid-house to the imaginary dancefloor of a late 80s warehouse party on the lower East side of New York.

Check it out here: https://specialplacerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/caldosavana-ep

Mushrooms Project is Giorgio Giri and Marco Lentano, producers and serial collectors of vinyl with a common passion for dj’ing and for any type of music whatsoever. The project came into being in 2003 when Giorgio, a punk band drummer and vinyl collector with a strong preference for anything from psychedelic rock to Afro, meets Marco a deejay since 1994 who mixes every possible kind of dance music; from afro to house, passing through techno and progressive.
The first step was to put their affinities together and create a dj duo with a strong experimental and eclectic inclination. In 2006 Marco and Giorgio move into more slo-mo sounds, offering low bpm music with psychedelic influences but also taking in funk, pop, afro and disco house. The following year the duo turn to producing their
own music and get noticed by Stevie Kotey and Paul Murphy who push them to their first release.
Leng, Claremont56, XXX, Bear Funk, Electric Minds, Under The Shade, Tirk, Pizzico, Slow Motion, Ararat Masis, Exotic Refreshement, Is it Balearic!, Uber, Hell Yeah!, Jansen Jardin, Ene Japan, Magic Wand, Clandestino, Rotten City, Balearic Social and Others have all released music by the Mushrooms and these labels mark their first
thirdten years of production activity.
2013 saw their debut album ‘Undergrass’ released on Leng Records, which was a continuous evolution of their sound elaborated in close contact with other musicians.
In 2015, Ivan King, a talented guitarist who had collaborated many times with the Mushrooms Project, became an integral part of their productions.
Mushrooms Project have now dj’ed across the world and are known for theirhallucinating and all encompassing music that is made using live instrumentation such as guitar, bass, synth and percussion to create a “dirty” but unique insight to thevery long, deep, mesmerizing and unusual minds of the Mushrooms.

PRE-ORDER NOW

PREMIERE: Paul Callens - Where's Sister [SPECIAL PLACE]

First out of two of Ly Sander's 'Landing' album samplers released on Special place, the package presents two tracks both serviced with a dedicated remix that offer a deep yet often unheard insight into what dance music can mean. 

Preoccupation about the impact of mankind on the planet is nothing new, as the radio excerpt at the basis of 'Marching to where' clearly exposes. Nevertheless, climate change or the war in Ukraine remind us cruelly how access to food at a reasonable price is currently at stake for parts of the world's population albeit our heavy colonization of the earth. Perspectives are rather gloomy and this track exposes just that, with a historical perspective. 

Jacques Bon was kind enough to take on remixing duties. He has released music on an array of high-rated record labels including Tim Sweeney's seminal imprint, Beats In Space, Mule Musiq, Giegling, Kann, Live At Robert Johnson and Smallville Records. Not just a solo flier, Jacques also co-produced choice deep-diving joints with the likes of Christopher Rau and Chicago House pioneers, Virgo Four. 

And if it's difficult to leave aside the seriousness of the topic of this track Jacques brought some hope and sweetness to his mix as well as his dreamy atmosphere. And with the increased bpm it's even dancefloor friendly, hurra!

'Our Spirit Runs Deep' on an other note is an invitation to consider dance music as something more than simply disposable. Maybe there can be some deep feelings to it, a shared and communal experience, as long as you 'walk along with us'! For such a topic, it mattered to have a sensible soul on remixing duties. Established japanese producer Iori Wakasa released tracks on labels such as Botanica, Dessous, Sound Of Vast, Get Physical, Saw and Highgradeoffers to name a few. He presented his own interpretation with his 'Camp in the Mountain Remix'. If it does convey the airiness of the heights, his remix also reminds of
the warm, dense and overwhelming density of a Tokyo packed club. What's your interpretation?

An exhilarating testimony by a singer that did unfortunately reach for the stars
Second installment of Ly Sander's 'Landing' album samplers, this package introduces two tracks offering different mixes of organic and electronic vibes, deep entranched emotions meet dance music.
Albeit all the hope it conveys, the track 'For Your Love' carries a heavy burden, as it is one of the lasts testimonies of much too early gone soul, as singer Matt Bessa sadly passed away since the recording of these vocals. The track will nevertheless envelop you in its warm and moving soulful house embrace that given the current insights is even more bound to move your soul.

On a very different note, 'Transcontinental Hippies' takes you on a journey reminiscent of a bygone era, evoking the free-spirited essence of hippies lost in a trance-like state. Its tribal feel resonates with a timeless energy captivating the senses in such a way that it can hardly leave you untouched.

But that's not all - this release comes with two remixes that offer fresh perspectives. Man 2.0 transforms 'For Your Love' into a stomping house anthem, injecting an infectious energy that's sure to ignite dance floors. Meanwhile, Love Over Entropy presents a dreamy deep house remix of 'Transcontinental Hippies,' sprinkling it with subtle acid notes that add a touch of intrigue to this ethereal journey.

For Love over Entropy, music is all about ideas. Experimenting with different workflows and taking influences from a wide range of artists, he eschews formulas and tries to infuse every track with a life of its own. As a result, ever since the first release in 2013, his music is primarily shaped by his own musical fascinations instead of genre conventions. Crucial to his tracks is a sense of internal logic and flow, that also extends into his live sets.

At an abstract level, Love over Entropy's music draws inspiration from the Ligne Claire aesthetic. This is a style of drawing made famous by Belgian cartoonist Hergé in the 1930s, but which goes back even further, to Japanese woodblock cuts from the 17th century. Very much like those woodblock cuts, Love over Entropy's music is precise yet organic. To the point yet rich. Abstract yet familiar.

Love Over Entropy wished to name this EP 'Pleioné'. In Greek mythology, Pleioné was an Oceanid nymph and mother of the Pleiades. Pleioné presided over the multiplication of the flocks. This title thus seems utterly fitting, since the music seems to keep on coming and going, the same yet different, repeated yet with sounds adding to each other in waves. The whole gives a sense of being so subtle and deep that the mind gets to float freely in an boundless ocean of sounds.

No Loss is a sort of trance prayer, in which feelings of acceptance, change and hope are added to the psychedelic imagery evoked by the music with the help of vocals.

Music and Psychedelia become tools capable of deepening and investigating the deepest aspects of life and then re-emerging with a new gaze, both on the world and within oneself.

We've been honored to welcome Sordid Sound System's own Stuart Evans to rework 'No Loss'. Stellar producer with releases on labels such as Optimo Music, Hoga Nord, Invisible Inc or Playground Records, he infused his trademark sound collisions of motorik dub and psychedelic dungeon disco.

Sometimes making a remix on a good vocal / original into a classic revision version simply makes me happy. 
Hope you 2!

Out now everywhere on digi but as usual bandcamp is our fav!

This is 2020, Coronavirus locked down clubs and festivals. Nevertheless, in a forest near you, some haven’t accepted status quo. To them, dancing isn’t a weekly social routine but much more of a needed cure. They end up dancing under the moonlight. 

If the recording pre-dates the current situation, the lyrics come in just right but all the more poignantly that singer Matt Bessa passed away since then. His vocals shine just about as much as the covers moonlight. @gregorythme pushed the rather analogue original track further into intricate digital delicacies. A forest rave anthem of sorts, Under the moonlight is the second extraction from @ly-sander's to be released album.

This is 2020, Coronavirus locked down clubs and festivals. Nevertheless, in a forest near you, some are still dancing, under the moonlight. If the recording pre-dates the current situation, Ly Sander's lyrics come in just right today but all the more poignantly that singer Matt Bessa passed away since then. His vocals shine just about as much as the covers moonlight.

ABOUT SPECIAL PLACE
Aimed at providing a different insight into dance music the label Special place recordings launched by Ly Sander provides both acoustic and electronic sounds that are not sonically linked to a specific era, but all carry a slight shamanic hinge. As Ly Sander says : « With such a name you cannot release strictly functional music. It has to have more to it, cater to specific emotions. Those you can sense in your favorite high spot where you contemplate the world or simply that cosy corner of your living room where you feel well and enjoy music”.
