Berlin-based, Franco-German producer and DJ Franz Matthews, alongside well-known happiness coach Jonathan Lehmann, have crafted a thumping, hypnotic EP that combines music and the practice of guided meditation as one.

We’ve collated remixes from a spread of some of the greatest minds in electronic music today, including Aera, The Organism and Milio, to create their unique interpretations of this pioneering project of mind and music.

Franz Matthews’s original brings a complex web of interlocking percussion rhythms that develop with unfolding synths throughout the guided meditation to reach a soul-shaking climax. Transporting us on a journey through the mind with a captivating piece of musical storytelling throughout.

Aera steps up with the first remix, carving out a spacious story that casts the spotlight onto the spoken word vocals from Lehman, combining elegant rhythms with contrasting layers of subtle harmonic movement and mind-altering synth melodies that engage the inner recesses of the brain.

The Organism takes things into a more aggressive, percussive direction, using his archetypal sound to traverse across the planes of your mind. Off-kilter synth tones collide across a punchy Moog style bassline and grooving disco-tinged drum machine grooves underneath.

Finally, Milio brings his distinctive club sounds to the blend. Mixing glitching rhythms with wandering melody lines that integrate elements of minimalism and techno into a joyous and playful reworking. Milio’s distinct ability to craft memorable lines that are equally unique and quirky closes this superb remix package off with finesse.

Matthias Meyer returns with the second release on his Strangely Enough label, the sumptuous two track EP, 'The Choir’, released on 28th of January.

Following Matthias Meyer's hugely acclaimed ‘Sweet Ease’ / ‘Hybrid Society’ collaboration with Budakid on Watergate Records which reached No.1 on Beatport Indie Dance and was accompanied by Matthias Meyer touring worldwide, ’The Choir’ EP showcases the Berlin-based artist’s trademark diverse and eclectic sound, whilst brimming full of emotion and energy.

The deep and stirring title track ’The Choir’ is a highly original and mesmeric opener whose centrepiece is a euphoric, yet poignant church choir refrain which shimmers and pulsates throughout, beautifully deployed alongside the tougher edged beats which drive the hypnotic cut. This truly remarkable track is certain to become a highlight of DJ sets over the coming months, whether played at a beach party in Mexico, or in a stadium arena concert. 

’Touch Of Magic’ complements ‘The Choir’ perfectly, as ‘80s inspired synths and glitchy beats move up a tempo, whilst the choral elements are softened alongside addictive stabbing percussion and sparkling, cascading chords.

Meyer’s debut label release, ‘Strangely Enough’, was released in Spring 2021 and included support from RÜFÜS DU SOL, Solomun, Sasha, Adriatique, Rampa, and James Grant, amongst others.

Matthias Meyer - Touch Of Magic

Irish born, Berlin based producer @new-spectrum delivers his first Diynamic release. The „Eurobelt“ EP is a showcase of eclecticism, with four tracks ranging from emotional Electronica to upbeat Disco and energetic Breakbeat.

„Rescue“ feels like two people on a search for one another, having a melancholic but euphoric trip along the way.

„Disco Nights“ is a ride through the night with unexpected twists, turns & and flashing lights.

When „I Can’t Get Enough“ starts to play and those percussions hit, it won’t leave you standing still. Dark dance floor energy.

And title track „Eurobelt (So High)“ hits the overdrive - a high octane drone pursuit through a dystopian industrial district. All scanners on high alert.

E/ Over 9.000.000 people will sink their hard-earned money into new music this year. If you're one of them, you may soon find your money sinking beyond reach. Since the average DJ gets rid of his music after 32 days, your Monaberry release will probably survive just long enough to become a number one hit for 2 years. So if you always seem to be running out of money, maybe it's because you're always running out of Monaberry releases.

All Da Ravers can change all that. Super Flu and Viktor Talking Machine teamed do give you a long lasting release. We won't undermine your investment by making it obsolete in the future. (The only significant difference between the last releases and this, for example, is a massive Chinaski remix.) So you won't mind holding on to it for several years. You shouldn't have much trouble doing it, either. 9 out of every 10 Monaberry releases in the last eleven years are still in the top ten.

And while we can't guarantee a new Monaberry will last that long, three years from now you should find yourself keeping the money you'd normally spend for new tracks.

After 3 years, you'll begin to notice a dramatic rise in your standard of living. You'll have saved 36 monthly music payments. Thats enough for you and your family to vacation in Europe.

For further information on the release that makes them possibe, consult your Monaberry dealer.

D/ Über 9.000.000 Menschen werden in diesem Jahr ihr hart verdientes Geld für neue Musik ausgeben. Wenn du einer von ihnen bist, könnte dein Geld bald unerreichbar sein. Da der durchschnittliche DJ seine Musik nach 32 Tagen wieder loswird, wird Ihre Monaberry-Veröffentlichung wahrscheinlich gerade lange genug überleben, um zwei Jahre lang ein Nummer-eins-Hit zu werden. Wenn Ihnen also immer das Geld auszugehen scheint, liegt das vielleicht daran, dass Ihnen immer die Monaberry-Veröffentlichungen ausgehen.

All Da Ravers kann das alles ändern. Super Flu und Viktor Talking Machine sorgen gemeinsam für eine lang anhaltende Veröffentlichung. Wir werden Ihre Investition nicht untergraben, indem wir sie in Zukunft veralten lassen. (Der einzige signifikante Unterschied zwischen den letzten Veröffentlichungen und dieser ist z.B. ein massiver Chinaski-Remix). Es wird Ihnen also nichts ausmachen, es mehrere Jahre lang zu behalten. Sie sollten auch keine großen Probleme damit haben. 9 von 10 Monaberry-Veröffentlichungen der letzten elf Jahre sind immer noch in den Top Ten.

Und obwohl wir nicht garantieren können, dass ein neues Monaberry so lange hält, sollten Sie in drei Jahren das Geld, das Sie normalerweise für neue Titel ausgeben würden, behalten können.
Nach 3 Jahren werden Sie einen dramatischen Anstieg Ihres Lebensstandards feststellen. Sie werden 36 monatliche Zahlungen für Musik gespart haben. Das ist genug für Sie und Ihre Familie, um in Europa Urlaub zu machen.

Weitere Informationen über die Veröffentlichung, die dies möglich macht, erhalten Sie bei Ihrem Monaberry-Händler.

PREMIERE: Jonathan Kaspar — Unify feat. Graham Baxter (Original Mix) [Crosstown Rebels]

Out October 14th.
Pre-order: https://lnk.to/SAYE_SYSTEM

https://soundcloud.com/matthias-meyer / https://soundcloud.com/budakid

Following their highly acclaimed ’Sweet Ease’  / ‘Hybrid Society’, which reached No.1 on Beatport Indie Dance towards the end of 2021 and featured in countless DJ sets, Matthias Meyer and Budakid return to Watergate Records with another powerful collaboration, ’Saye’ / ’System’ released on October 14th.

Opening track 'Saye’ captures the inventive and sparkling production both Berlin-based artists have become renowned for. Hypnotic organ chords are deployed alongside euphoric vocal chops and jagged, driving beats to create a truly memorable track which is already generating a huge reaction on dance-floors when it has been road tested in recent Matthias Meyer and Budakid DJ sets. 

The stirring and atmospheric ’System’ balances ’Saye’ perfectly. Budakid’s haunting vocal is presented alongside glitchy, yet etherial synthesizer sequences with the central theme the idea that we are living in a broken system.

XYZ's signature collection returns in the form of Blanche - an annual series focused on collaborating with many of the artists who will carry the torch in 2023, and shining a refreshed light on their art in the early days of the new year.

From groovy to melodic, percussive to ethereal, Blanche represents the beginning of our explorations 2023's musical landscape. With newcomers and label favorites alike, the six track release continues to harvest XYZ's creative direction as an artist-first label, purveying talented and innovative producers with an insightful story to tell.

Leading the line is a Romanian-bred collaborative project between Bross and VICTHOR. Rich drum rhythms greet a delightful piano melody, as Piece, Peace sets us on our way with a truly beautiful offering.

The Turkish maestro Gadi Mitrani debuts on XYZ with Robot With a Heart. Synthetic tones enter the fold over a hearty hook, igniting the groove on this pearl of a production.

We revisit Erdi Irmak’s instant classic, I Can Find, with a freshly squeezed remix from Montreal’s own Oiseau de nuit & Laure. With a lifelong bond rooted in a shared love of music, this brother-sister pairing brings an after-hour tilt, opening space for rich melancholy.

As a new dawn arrives, we’re thrilled to welcome back Quebec’s Monarke to XYZ. There’s Still Time fosters a progressive sizzler, with swirling soundscapes pushing us deep into the solar system.

Canada’s Tyler Mesa returns to the imprint with a heady heater, showcasing his range and innovation in the studio. Serene Dream is all about the synthetic hook, which ebbs & flows perfectly over a masterful melody. A soon-to-be club classic from Mesa to kick off the year.

Closing out our third edition of Blanche is our beloved Brazileiro - Maty Owl - who provides an instrumental version of his recent remix for Erdi Irmak. Keep ears tuned, as we have lots more Maty Owl material coming in the near future!

Yost Koen - When We Dip Radio #245 [4.2.23]

“If we had the power to build paradise, why did we choose to destroy it?”

Future That Could Have Been explores different sounds and styles to convey emotion & atmosphere, without too much complexity. 

The album opens with clarity and ambition: a world full of potential. But track by track, the sound fractures. Hope turns into excess; confidence becomes arrogance; temptation becomes sin. The fall is inevitable — and devastating.

This album is a reflection of us:
the futures we could build,
the futures we destroy,
and the hope that still survives.

I hope you enjoy!

Psalm 144 & 1 Corinthians 10:13

ENDLESS

Strangely Enough is the long awaited label project from Matthias Meyer. As an artist Meyer is renown for his storied, emotion laden dj sets, regularly linking multiple genres with considerable aplomb.His new moniker is an effort to transmit this recognisable style to his musical productions. From deep house to breakbeat, Meyer will indulge his varied tastes all the while keeping it under the umbrella of his distinguished style.

The label kicks off with two original productions from Matthias himself, Strangely Enough and Fantazy.

The title track Strangely Enough is a quintessential Matthias Meyer effort. Combining a dark, vibrant groove with haunting vocal snippets, it perfectly encapsulates his mission for the new imprint. As a composition, it sits in that indefinable space between the dance floor and the after party, a powerful weapon in the right hands.

Fantazy, the B side of the EP, follows no fixed form. It is a jaunt from breaks to driving house with an emotive breakdown which prompts thoughts of escapism from the structures of modern music. It is often remarked that fantasy is the creative measure of a man, and in this cause that assertion runs true, with Meyer showcasing his wide musical palate.
