Disko Promillo Tape 019 - Zehlendorfer Disco Squad
date: 04.01.2023

New Year’s Eve is already over and time is passing by like we are on fast forward. While recovering from a ridiculous celebration of the last hours in 2022, the Zehlendorfer Disco Squad took their time to get you the groove of 2023 with some Cosmic Disco tunes in Disko Promillo Tape 019 by Zehlendorfer Disco Squad.

Born and raised in the early nineties in southwest Berlin, these two did not yet know that their paths would once cross one another. 25 years and plenty of DJ-Gigs later, they stood next to one another at a home party in Zehlendorf. The circumstances were not the best: really old CDJs, an extremely small DJ booth and another Covid lockdown about to occur. However, they had a bag full of cosmic tunes, their Disco-finger on lock and a Rhubarb-Prosecco-Mixture filled in their glasses. Since then, the two have been drifting around weightlessly between Cosmic-, Dark- and Astrological Disco.

In the last couple of years the Zehlendorfer Disco Squad has been playing at festivals such as Feel Festival, Evolution Festival and Hive Festival. In the new year they will be starting their own Party Series: "Disco Futurismo" - with the kickoff at Crack Bellmer Club Berlin on the 19.01.2023 - full warp ahead!
Please enjoy Disko Promillo Tape 019 by Zehlendorfer Disco Squad.

Renate seems to be gone, like a MF. So here is the re-upload of the mix from a legendary time. Good old Voyage Voyage memories ♥

Renate Podcast 38 - Voyage Voyage (2017)

Beyond The Struttosphere (SXDNS263) presents “Planet Ogo”, an 11-cut parcel that launches listeners into a retro-futuristic odyssey, merging Progressive Trance’s celestial energy with Techno’s raw edge. The album’s four originals are interstellar anthems, led by the title track’s throbbing bassline, squelching 303 patterns, and arpeggiated swirls that conjure visions of cosmic drift. Intergalactic tension meets dance floor propulsion across the LP, bridging ‘90s rave nostalgia with sleek, contemporary production. The seven remixes amplify this ethos, recruiting a who’s-who of Indie Dance and Nu Disco innovators – K-Effect (SXDNS062), Shubostar (SXDNS042), Dionigi, Tegel Boys, Rigopolar, Julian Sanza, and Rich Lane – to refract Planet Ogo through diverse stylistic prisms. From neon-soaked Funk to analog grit, their collective reimaginations stretch the source material’s gravitational reach.

While each remixer injects distinct flair, K-Effect’s contribution emerges as a haunting standout. The seasoned Spanish artist cloaks the title track in psychedelic unease, replacing euphoric Trance crescendos with eerie, slow-burning dread. Razor-sharp drum programming slices through murky synth layers and disintegrating FX, while tectonic bass swells drag the groove into shadowy depths. It’s a deliberate departure – eschewing the original’s starry-eyed ascent for a descent into hypnotic darkness. K-Effect’s brooding revision contrasts sharply with the remix pack’s vibrant diversity, epitomizing the package’s bold experimental scope and cementing the theme’s versatility across dance music’s multifaceted universe.

PREMIERE749 // Beyond The Struttosphere - Planet Ogo (K-Effect Remix)

Disc-o-lypso presents a fresh exploration of Igor Škafar aka Ichisan's iconic "Fantasound," lifted from his 2022 namesake full-length album. The package offers the core original alongside inventive reinterpretations from a diverse roster: International Dateline, Dan Tyler, Isaac Ferry, James Rod (SXDNS099), Dude Skywalker, and K-Effect (SXDNS062) spared no efforts to bring to life their own vision for the soirée. Listeners are ushered into a realm characterized by Cosmic Disco atmospherics, shadowy tonal shifts, and relentless, body-moving cadences. The collection firmly anchors itself within a propulsive, hypnotic Chugging Disco House framework, promising sustained rhythmic engagement designed purely for the dance floor's demands. 

The parcel also fittingly celebrates a significant milestone: our 800th premiere! After coffee, revels!

Among the varied interpretations, K-Effect's contribution carves a particularly compelling path. The Disc-o-lypso regular injects the composition with a potent blend of choppy, syncopated breakbeats that fracture the groove with infectious unevenness. Underpinning this rhythmic complexity is a commanding, squelching acid bassline that coils and pulses with raw, analog warmth. The throbbing bassline provides a deep, resonant foundation while simultaneously adding a layer of textural grit and forward momentum. The Spanish virtuoso masterfully balances these sharper, more aggressive elements within the overarching Electro structure, resulting in a version that feels both meticulously crafted and thrillingly immediate, perfectly suited for peak-time energy without sacrificing nuanced detail. It’s a robust and inventive take that commands attention through its kinetic interplay.

PREMIERE800 // Ichisan - Fantasound (K-Effect Remix)

✖ ✖ ✖ 22ROCKETS is a born and raised Berlin boy who grew up in the south-east side of the city. In the late 90s he experienced the last years of the unpretentious Berliner Party Age and later became a key figure in the underground music scene, organising free open-air raves in parks, as well as techno party’s in a basement of an old granary in Kreuzberg with his former collective, 4Augenvögeln.

In his mid 20s he went to India and spent a half year residency in a cultural organisation to create an exchange between the Indian and German electronic music scene. At the same time, he was then exposed to a mix tape by UK’s Hardway Bros and decided to bring this ‘New Disco’ and ‘Slo-mo House’ sound back to Berlin. At Wilde Renate he founded and promoted the ‘Spank Me Disko’ parties and other events, which hosted a slew of promising artists and came to define the future sound of the club. He also founded ‘Radio Renate’ (a live show podcast series) and then the renowned ‘Voyage Voyage’ parties in 2010 alongside his partner The Swift. The Voyage Voyage series featured dance music from cosmic and chuggy disco to house and techno. For eight years the party showcased premier and unique live acts, and a diverse array of artist performances and installations, which expanded the horizons of the Berlin electronic music scene and played a pivotal role in evolving the club's sonic identity. Their journey ended at the Renate in December 2018. Furthermore, 22ROCKETS also was responsible for booking the ‘Fête de la Musique’ event at Renate’s sister open air venue ELSE, which consisted of an eclectic mix of live bands and his own after show marathon DJ sets.

22ROCKETS has performed at major clubs and festivals in Berlin, across Germany, Europe, and internationally, earning acclaim for his dynamic sets. His musical selections are inspired by music from all corners of the globe and he changes genres and vibes often to fit his mood and emotional landscape, his only limitation being avoiding getting stuck in a loop of repetition.
