Recorded live at Club 77 16.02.23

Evolved from Phil Smart’s innovative and well received ‘Slow Dance Experiment’ concept, Tempo Comodo is a new party series further exploring the slower realms of danceable beats. From 70bpm downtempo to midtempo chug, anything under 120bpm is fair game as long as it's made for dancing! Getting down to slower tempos opens up a whole new world of space, rhythm and movement. Come and join the slow dance revolution as we venture deep into a diverse musical universe of varied subgenres, influences and styles. Expect slo-haus, post-nudisco, chillrave, chuggy low-slung grooves, and any slo-mo superlative you can throw into the mix.

Thomas Koch (aka DJ T.) has been a pioneer of the electronic music scene for more than three decades, not just as an artist, but as a label manager, magazine founder, promoter and more. At the end of 2015, when he arrived once more in the Sacred valley of Peru for a long timeout and healing journey, he discovered the art of Ecstatic Dance. First he only visited these small ceremonies as a guest. But in spring 2018, when he came back to Berlin from another stay in the Peruvian mountains, he wanted to check out what his hometown had to offer in terms of this culture, to find a fast growing, vibrant scene in hiy city. Since then he has been shifting his activities and channelling all of his experience to find his very own way of creating the musical journeys for these events. Now, with a couple of EPs in the pipeline under his new alias Mathami on his newborn label Pura Danza, 2021 and beyond is an exciting time for Mathami and one where he will be breaking down musical boundaries.

Without any musical boundaries, Pura Danza will shine light on the vast spectrum of styles that get played in the worldwide Ecstatic Dance community. From ethereal, ambient-esque Electronica and Neoclassical to ritual and sacred music and singer-songwriter styles from around the globe, there is already a vast space of genres unfolding when it comes to these relatively short two parts of a dance. In between them: music with beats - organic and electronic beats of all kinds. From world and roots music, mainly recorded with real instruments to cutting-edge electronic dance music styles like Electronic hip hop, tribal trap and bass music, organic house and techno, downbeat and leftfield electronica.
