Ten DJ-ready melodic-techno tools sequenced for harmonic mixing from warm-up to peak and back. FDD1181–FDD1190 move through minor-key grooves, rolling basslines, gated hooks and peak arps, with clean intros/outros for fast, reliable blends. Built as a utility “toolset” for real rooms: functional, emotive, and mix-friendly.“Collective DJ” delivers ten precision-built cuts aimed squarely at the booth. The sequence (FDD1181–FDD1190) climbs from warm-up glide to peak-time lift and settles into an afterglow closer, keeping keys minor and BPMs tight for seamless harmonic mixing. Expect rolling low-end, gated synth lines, tool-grade drum programming and clear 8/16-bar structures that make quick work of transitions. Titles follow the Toolset logic—Warmup Layer, Drive Loop, Peak Arp, Closing Pad—so crate navigation is instant on a dark stage. Human taste leads; machine-scale rigor keeps everything consistent. Free for non-commercial play under the Fixer Creative License; commercial sync/licensing available on request.

FDD1186 — Common Phase

This compilation unites a group of visionary producers, each bound by a shared devotion to the timeless spirit of acid. Every track has been carefully selected and experienced on the dance floor, weaving together raw intensity, subtle nuance, and the unmistakable resonance of the 303. More than a collection of tracks, it is a journey through sound - an homage to the pulse, texture, and freedom that acid continues to inspire.

MELODIC DEEP IN DEPTH PODCAST #053 / CATTAREE

www.berlin-brighton.com
Full interview: https://bit.ly/2SeY47H


After a hugely successful showcase back in March of last year, we welcomed back one of Berlin's best known clubs who brought their very own showcase to Brighton by featuring a selection of their top residents. 

Ritter Butzke is located on the ground floor of a former factory in Kreuzberg. It began as an illegal club in 2007, but went official two years later. The venue has three main dance floors, plus an outdoor courtyard that's open in the summer. The DJs and the crowd are most often Berliners. This dimly-lit huge club is always bursting at the seams and is hidden away in a large complex of buildings on Moritzplatz. It has certainly achieved legendary fame in the city and worldwide.

We caught up with Ritter Butzke's very own Label head Matthias Schuell, who after impressing so many Brightonians last year, it was only natural that we invited him back to the South Coast.

After a solid education in multiple classical instruments and drums Matthias Schuell took an unlikely choice to enter the electronic scene as a producer, DJ and live act. Quickly after the breakup of his international successful project “BAAL” in January 2019 he concentrated on his growing solo career. Always keeping an energetic vibe in his productions, he tries out different tempos and styles and creates music with a broad portfolio of sounds and instruments.

In his powerful live sets he uses his talent to support his music with live drums and piano elements. His first EP „Scarabaeus“ in June 2018 on Niconé's imprint Dantze was played by Joris Voorn, Animal Picnic, Moonwalk and many more and quickly took the pole position to become the number one song of the Dantze label on Beatport. His EP „Hoodoo“ on Einmusika in May 2019 charted in the Beatport Top 10 Releases in the genres „Techno“ and „Melodic House & Techno“ for several weeks. Since 2018 he holds a residency and works as the label manager at the Ritter Butzke Club Berlin.

A new "Augmented" reality reveals a different perception of Mango Alley. Breaking boundaries, established and contemporary talent converges in a single vision across the digital spectrum. A cornucopia of new music, unreleased jewels and undiscovered gems glisten under the auspices of a renowned artistic talent; mixed and unmixed versions deliver a unique listening experience.

German prowess and Canadian finesse reach across the Rhine to Lake Ontario, a duo of repute TH;EN curates an augmented vision of the future with a confident and dynamic musical selection. Bold basslines deviate in the luminous flux of a fractured moonbeam while emotive sequences ring out across the distance in bohemian splendour under the shelter of percussive metronomy. A new city of rain rises up, sparkling in delicate synth motifs and lighter stories tell of an analogue circus of circuitry.

Rejoice at being connected across a thousand starry skies.

INTERVIEW

What do you do to get into a creative state?
"Sometimes the machines just inspire me, sometimes I open a bottle of wine."

Where do you draw your inspiration from?
"Situations that I’m finding myself in in, the feelings I have, technology around me."

What do you love most about being an artist?
"Touching peoples hearts man. Seeing happy faces at gigs or getting messages of people that are moved by my music gives me a lot of strength."

How do you stay focussed in a world of constant distraction?
"Just turn off notifications & zero in on the machines. I have a lot of trouble focussing, so eliminating distractions helps me a lot."

Do you have a morning routine?
"Hell no, I’m not a morning person!"

What fascinates you about your art from?
"One guy sitting in his basement can do it all, create an atmosphere & make people move and feel – the ability to convey emotion through a technological intermediary."

What, for you, is the purpose of art?
"Expressing yourself through a medium & let other people feel by coming in contact with your work. Art does not necessarily has to have a function, in contrast to design – a lot of dance music (including mine) is more design than art."

What is sacred to you?
"Staying true to myself, integrity is key. I like the Egyptian afterlife concept of having your heart weighed against a feather."

What is your opinion on success?
"Success is when you look back on the path you treaded & get a warm, fuzzy feeling."

What is your opinion on failure?
"Failure is such a loaded term. The absence of success is not failure & failing a goal you set for yourself is not actually a bad thing. Every „failure“ is something you can learn from and improve."

What would your 16 year old you think about what you’re doing today?
"Since my 16 year old self was already dabbling with Ableton he would be like 'Damn you have all that gear - make more music!'“

What makes you laugh?
"Dogs. Dogs are awesome."

In which ways could the scene improve in the future?
"Right now there’s too much focus on self-marketing via social media & less on creativity and skill. This is in part due to an over-saturation of the market which makes it hard to be the cream rising to the top. I hope that in the future we find a way to honor quality & dedication and focus less on shiny pictures & follower metrics. 
Women are still underrepresented in my scene (especially on the production side) and sexism is still a thing. Hopefully, we can be more welcoming & kind towards dedicated female newcomers and have a more diverse palette of creative output together. 
What also bothers me is the stagnation. E.g., once there is a successful sound, a bunch of copycats swoop in and the market is flooded with „same-ish“, uninspired works. How did we evolve from ten years ago? Right now a lot of the new stuff that is most visible sounds like boring, recycled 90s stuff. Electronic music & especially Techno was once a promise of uncharted sonic territory and possiblity, so why do we always go back to the same 909 Drums and Acid Lines?"

Who will considerably give direction to the scene soon?
"Right now, we’re at a turning point due to the COVID-19 quarantine. After the dust settles I really hope that the underground spirit returns and a lot of new & creative artists emerge and get a chance to be heard. This is an extinction-level event for the clubbing scene, but after a forest fire new life always springs. And I really hope that the younger generation of artists will rise to the occasion and bring a new sonic diversity to the scene."

Favorite release at the moment & of all times?
"At the moment I really dig the first Koelsch Album 1977. 
Favorite release of all times is a hard pick. With Teeth by Nine Inch Nails and Gui Boratto’s Chromophobia have a special place in my heart."

Tracklist

Introduction 105 | Starkato

@dielinamusic and I decided to re-record our set from Cirkus Tresolar (29-08-2020) in the Techno Tunnel, Gothenburg, as it wasn't recorded during the evening. 

This set is a slow, melodic techno trip where we play with decreasing the tempo of fast techno tracks, making them sound more intensive and present.
