Hey there, enthusiastic groovers! I’m delighted to share the vibes from the sonic time capsule of 03.09.2023 at Beate Uwe Berlin. 🚀✨

This mix is a delicate dance between beats and emotions. We kick things off in slow-mo, a melodic embrace to ease you into the vibes. Picture it: a musical daydream unfolding, gently pulling you into the rhythm. As time dances on, we pick up the pace, shifting gears toward a bouncier, groovy baseline. The beats become your partner in a playful dance, teasing and inviting you to move – think of it as the musical equivalent of a chill evening with good company and great beats. No frills, just feels.

Kick back, relax, and let the music be your guide through this audio journey. Whether you're in it for the head-bobbing, toe-tapping, or just to escape the daily grind, consider this mix your sonic getaway. 

This isn't just a recording; it's a snapshot of a night where time stood still, and the only thing that mattered was the music. So, without further ado, let's embark on this sonic odyssey together. Press play and let's vibe together!

By the Bye… 🧐🎩 There's a hidden gem in there – an unreleased track of mine waiting to be discovered. 👀

Cover Art Collage by yours truly 🌸

Out Now On Tremulant:

1.  Act Human
2. High & Lonesome
3. Act Human (Nathan Hall Remix)
4. Act Human (Luca Musto Remix)

.
Monday’s Heartbeat, grounded in the essence of collaboration, offers a musical odyssey that dances between the age-old tales that inhabit the history of American music. The sound of the Seattle-based band is both familiar and fresh, as they meld classic instruments with the likes of the Moog synthesizer. The members' passion for music and the joy of sharing it with listeners is the motivation that defines the project. Monday’s Heartbeat is more than just a band — it's an exploration into the true spirit of collaboration.

Act Human is the first release by Monday's Heartbeat. It's a musical voyage helmed by Tremulant label boss Joe Bellingham, who orchestrates a rotating ensemble of Seattle musicians and vocalists. Among those featured on Act Human are Art Butler on acoustic guitar, Sean Donoghue-Neider, known as 'Night Train,' on the harmonica, Daniel 'Danimal' Wilson on the keys, and Brett Vehrs and Kat Larrabee on vocals. Nathan Hall engineers the music and is a vital member of the collaborative. All are united by a shared vision of bridging live instrumentation with dance music.

The title track and "High & Lonesome" are the two originals that lead the single. They both have a remarkably distinctive sound, somewhere between indie dance, midtempo nu-disco, and downtempo cosmicness. Lush rhythms and chord-scapes warmly caress the live instrumentation and rustic vocals. Two remixes of "Act Human" follow, electrifying the subtle dancefloor flavor. Nathan Hall (Akumandra, Heimlich Musik) and Luca Musto (Laut & Luise, Feines Tier) each offer versions that maintain the spacious, midtempo sensibilities but propel the original elements into sublime new contexts for both the club and the listening room.

Act Human

Monday's Heartbeat - Act Human (Tremulant)

monotropa. Distancia
Tremulant (TREMULANT006)

The Seattle-based artist monotropa. returns to the Tremulant label to once again explore deep sensations and cosmic vibrations through musical expression. The Distancia EP executes this through three textural tracks that combine elements of house, techno, and ambient atmosphere. Remixes from El Mundo, Wesley Holmes, and Slow Shadow go even further into distant territory.

"Distancia" starts the EP with a floor-ready pulse, flowing with synthetic chord hits and arpeggiated gyrations over a steady four-on-the-floor ride. A cinematic breakdown envelopes the cut with shining melody and impulsive drama. This is followed by "Torrente" which utilizes tones resembling the gentle rings of a thumb-piano as its backbone. Buzzing synth bass, ominous drones, and flashes of percussion rise and fall with expansive depth. "Lavar" is more laid back though no less layered or spacious than anything else on Distancia. A processed guitar-like riff hypnotically riffs on top of chord pads and a mid-tempo house beat, all giving the feel of a transcendent moment on the way.

El Mundo (Quetame Records) supplies the first remix with a version of the title track It's a bouncy trip through exotic places and faraway fauna, where jungle sounds abound as a tribal rhythm carries the cut through strobe-lit valleys. Seattle house music veteran Wesley Holmes next tackles "Lavar," offering a decidedly west coast flavored take that's atmospheric, psychedelic, and perfect for afterhours dancefloors. The EP closes out with a rework of "Lavar" by Slow Shadow, a nom-de-plume of Tremulant's Joe Bellingham. It's an acid-tinged downtempo treatment, enhanced by a pair of distinctive vocal contributions. Vibes for days and days.

Oil in the Water

Joe Bellingham & Diana Ratsamee - Oil In The Water (Tremulant)

Out Now On Tremulant:

1. Geodesic feat. Diana Ratsamee
2. Geodesic (Michael Manahan's Find a Way Through Hypnosis Mix)
3. Geodesic (Ahau Remix)

.
Paul Gafni had been a fan of Joe Bellingham's downtempo music in Seattle for years and decided to collaborate with him. They worked on a couple of remixes for Joe's Hug Records release and the Tremulant label. Eventually, the pair decided to create an original together. With Joe on bass and percussion, Paul providing guitar, keys, and vocals, and Diana Ratsamee adding an extra layer of beauty, "Geodesic" was born.

"Geodesic" rides on a downtempo four-on-the-floor rhythm, populated with dubby echoes, ambient-flavored synth layers, moody guitar lines, and somewhat meditative vocals. The cut is chill but not motionless — there's a danceable vibe throughout ready for DJs to deploy in just the right sets. Michael Manahan answers the call with the Find a Way Through Hypnosis Mix, raising the tempo while maintaining maximum atmosphere. Woofer-vibrating bass, pulsing pads, and arpeggiated synth runs mix elegantly with the original elements. The second remix, from Chilean DJ/producer Ahau brings out a gentle guitar part over repeating bell-like tones. The beats and vibe build steadily as the male and female vocals play off each other, transmitting near-spiritual imagery through the magic of sound.

Trent Banks / Citrus Age (Reflect) – “Moody grooves with great textures.”  
Enne (Electunes) – “Really nice stuff, cheers.”  
Juan Moreno (1 Life Records) – “Perfect for the warm up.”  
DJ Morpheus (Lysergic Factory radio show) “I like all three tracks here. Lovely!”  
Dr. Best (Radio Z 95.8 Neurnberg) – “Nice release. Michael Manahan’s remix and the original are my faves.”  
Jon Fugler (XLNT Radio Show) – “Sublime & thoroughly enjoyable.”

Gravit - Tremulant Community Sampler

Various Artists - Gravit - Tremulant Community Sampler (Tremulant)

We are not of this world. We are Tremulant. We are an infusion of narrative-based electronic music, performing arts, and video exploration. This blue planet, full of carbon based life forms, has lured us in with its beauty and abundance of creative energy. We invite you to intersect your earthly energy with our audio imprints, and our frequent excursions in Seattle, Washington.

Taking influences from his environments and his deep love for a wide range of music, the trained producer branched out into various genres, taking the essence of what he felt resonated most with him in that given genre and re-applying it into a different context and character. He created two different projects mainly infused by Deep / Groovy / Bouncy sounds.

SYNESTHES!A -  traveling through the faster moving realms of dance music. 

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. Synesthesia comes from the Greek words: "Synth" (meaning together) and "Ethesia" (meaning perception). 

Numeraki - venturing in the slower paced landscapes / beats.

"Nu" (phonetic pronounciation for new) and "Meraki" which is a modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak” (to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work). 

The more freedom he is given to experiment and try out new things, the happier he is, forging together a mix of sounds which will surprise your senses and make you perceive music in a whole new light.
