Samantha Vacation-Samantha's Vacation (LIES 016.5)

This is the first in a new series of Podcasts we're going to run here on L.I.E.S. artists as well as select artists affiliated with the label. DJ mixes. Radio shows. Live PA's. Spoken word. Used car commercials...the whole shebang! Get ready to enter a new realm of skimming through mixes, trying to id tracks and most importantly CRITICAL ANALYSIS! This is the stuff to be taken to Techno University and dissected in the lab.

Moving forward the first mix is by Gunnar Haslam, NYC resident, producer, and yes, DJ. Mr. Haslam has a new 2xlp coming out any day on L.I.E.S. Here he provides us with a nice long excursion spanning all your favorite genres, sub-genres and sun-sub-genres. Expertly mixed, well paced and yes even a couple of nice surprises if you're patient. Keep your ears open for this guy.

Beato beats it, plain and simple. Hailing from Miami, Florida Greg Beato djs like a seasoned veteran who has been in the trenches fighting the fight for a long time. His mix from earlier this month for Funkineven's NTS show displayed style, finesse and true poise behind the decks. For his L.I.E.S. podcast we see him continue in that fashion beating out tracks by the likes of Dirty Criminals, Drexciya, maybe some Rob Hood and maybe even some of his own cuts in there. As a producer Beato's debut, which hit stores last month on Funkineven's Apron Records was a unique and rough three track ep made strictly for dj use...if you missed that...well you lost...His debut ep drops for L.I.E.S. next week and continues where his last ep left off with complete roughness. Don't sleep on Beato as he is one of the forward thinking new hopes in the American underground.

For L.I.E.S. artist podcast series Vol. 3 we get a mix from one Oliver Vereker. Currently residing in San Francisco, Vereker made his L.I.E.S. debut earlier this year with two remarkably heavy and dj friendly self titled eps. One track of which got a nice bootleg mp3 dj edit made by Nina Kraviz which you can see her playing here at the famous Arama 17 techno club. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200095955619296&set=vb.1162182117&type=2&theater

Vereker has stayed busy through the year with a slew or remixes on the way as well as more original works due to see the light of day in the not so distant future.

This mix not mix gets down to the guts of it all with a a barrage of known and unknown industrial tracks, Belgian classics, New York scum synth, and post punk warblers taking you through the dark alleys of your mind, stabbing you in the gut and robbing you for what little is left in your pockets.

Keep an eye out for this cat, as he's got alot in his arsenal.

For this installation of the L.I.E.S. Podacast series we have a mix from Sling and Samo of Stockholm. Through the years the duo have been heavily involved in Stockholm's world of underground electronic music, running numerous labels together, djing, and throwing loft parties, whlist Samo was a longtime employee at Snickar's Records.

Fast forward to the present, Sling and Samo have started their own imprint Born Free Records (see links below) http://www.slingandsamo.com/ http://soundcloud.com/bornfreerecords putting out and remixing an interesting array of local talent from Stockholm with an always unique take on different strains of electronic music.

Sling and Samo can also be found on the elusive LIES-BLK 02 with "DJ Tool #1" while Samo can be found with a solo effort of edits on LIES-BLK 03. Furthermore, Samo has an upcoming full length lp for L.I.E.S. this fall called the KWC 92 project alongside his good friend Max. More info on that later.

This mix sees the duo going for it tweaking various strains of acid, house, wave and the like. Sounds from Willie Burns, Nation, ripped up Torn Hawk, some messed up Lil Louis and the now famous Unovidual " Comme Je Suis" Samo edit are all present creating a hell of an adventure from this prolific duo.

Hailing from Perugia, italy ,Simoncino is HOUSE. Not only is he HOUSE, he is a House obsessive, a student of the game, an observer and most importantly a contributor. Nick Anthony Simoncino has put it all on the line committing himself to the sounds of the past and bringing them into the present with passion and reverence. We're pleased to present this mix of deepness and sleaze from a modern master of the Italian house underground.

Sandro Stebnitz, Manito Rotschild, and Dieter Flegel met in the late-nineties in Oldenburg Germany while working on the loading dock of the Leifheit Housewares shipping division. Through their monotonous days of shrink wrapping ovens and loading palettes of stainless steel cookware onto tractor trailers, the trio would often relay tall tales to each other simply to pass the time. One such delusional fantasy was that the trio would one day ditch their warehouse jobs and start a band not unlike their mutual hero, Gary Numan.

Their fantasy became somewhat of a reality when Dieter gained access to various pieces of musical equipment when his uncle Hans came upon a sudden and untimely death. Unphased by this tragic event, Dieter rallied up his small group and hit the garage, practicing and recording every evening in hopes of making it, just like Gary did.

Here we have on record, the only document of their time in the makeshift studio, a 15 minute electronic jam simply titled "Sketch 1"

We hope you enjoy listening to this just as much as Sandro, Manito, and Dieter did making it.
