Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth, veterans in the electronic music scene, have rekindled their creative synergy with their latest collaborative effort, "Overlay." The album, a culmination of decades of their distinctive styles, successfully melds Guentner's ethereal, atmospheric textures with Spieth's pulsating rhythms. 

"Valenz," the premiere for today, encapsulates the album's essence, offering a dark, atmospheric, ambient techno journey that can seamlessly find a home in massive warehouses or within the confines of your headphones. Guentner and Spieth's vision for "Overlay" was to craft an auditory experience that mirrors their philosophy of masking and unveiling, allowing certain elements to shine while fading others into the background. This ethos, founded on a deep-seated trust cultivated over previous collaborations, shines through in "Valenz" and sets the tone for future joint endeavors. The album's material flows continuously, blurring the lines between distinct beginnings and endings, offering a unique and immersive listening experience. 

"Overlay" is set to be released digitally and on a limited edition CD on November 3 via Spieth's Affin Records, marking an exciting addition to both artists' storied careers.

Mixmeister Overlay Track

MixMeister Studio allows DJs to reconfigure a mix with a workflow similar to a DAW (digital audio workstation). This innovative approach makes it possible for a full-length mix to be constructed and produced on-screen. By automating most beat-mixing tasks, MixMeister Studio DJs can mix up to eight songs simultaneously and take advantage of exciting features like intelligent looping (up to eight measures) and the ability to overlay samples and sound effects. MixMeister Studio records all DJ's actions and manipulations and allows them to be tweaked and altered to create the perfect studio mix.


I have found a partial solution immediately after posting the question. I had to convert overlays under Image - Overlay - To ROI Manager. I could see all the Overlays as ROI and edit them. After editing, I could close the ROI manager which automatically asked for saving these as overlays. The only problem is that the scale bar gets a border with several points around it after the conversion, which never disappears. I could not find a way to remove the borders.


If you need to remove many ROIs from an overlay, according to specific criteria, then it might be helpful to explore using the Overlay macro functions as well to select each ROI in turn, and then remove it if it required. But that would be a bigger task.


The MixMeister Express 6.0 interface is logically divided into three main panes: Library (top left), Playlist (top right), and Timeline (bottom). To make your PC-based digital audio files available for use in MixMeister Express 6.0 projects, you click the Library pane's plus sign, then select the files you wish to add. You can add a single file or an entire folder of files, or you can set up 
watch folders
 from which files are automatically imported whenever they're copied into the specified directories. The software automatically scans each audio file to determine relevant information, such as its BPM (beats per minute). After a track has been scanned, it's available for use in any MixMeister project. During testing, the software typically took less than 10 seconds to scan each file.


To begin creating a custom mix, you drag files from MixMeister's Library pane to the Playlist pane. Any time a track is added to the Playlist pane, it also appears in the Timeline. You can drag and drop tracks within the Playlist to change their playback order in the project. When the order of tracks changes in the Playlist pane, it automatically changes in the Timeline pane as well.


MixMeister's real magic lies in its automatic track transitions, which can be selected using the orange pull-down box beneath each track title in the Playlist pane. The transition options include Short Beatmix (four measures/16 beats), Long Beatmix (eight measures/32 beats), and Crossfade. The Beatmix options gradually adjust the tempos of two adjacent tracks so that during the four or eight measures when the two tracks overlap, their beats match up, resulting in a smooth, beat-matched DJ-style transition from one track to the next. It's worth noting that adjusting a track's tempo doesn't affect its pitch. Lastly, the Crossfade function essentially creates a smooth volume transition from one track into another without adjusting the BPMs.


The only obvious snag is that tonal clashes can occur when two songs in different keys overlap during a beat-mix transition. A pitch-shifting feature would help match songs' keys as well as their tempos. When we created an ABBA mix, we worked around that limitation by being flexible about the order of tracks. When one track sounded bad transitioning into another, we simply changed the playback order. Another option is to select one of MixMeister's built-in sound effects, such as Whoosh, to help obscure any tonal maladies that occur during the transition.

Following the release of the first installment of the "Overlay Reworks" series in May, featuring remixes by Hollie Kenniff and Rafael Anton Irisarri, Guentner and Spieth have invited renowned artists Pole and Abul Mogard to rework tracks from their acclaimed album "Overlay", released last year.

Delayed is a source of deep, minimal, and micro house, techno, ambient and beyond. Follow us for new mixes, fresh releases, and exclusive interviews with distinguished and rising artists.

Founded in Brooklyn and run by a team of music producers, DJs, and perpetual music addicts.

Guentner & Spieth is the collaboration project of German artists Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth, who first appeared musically in the 2000s in connection with Wolfgang Voigt’s Pop Ambient series on the Kompakt label. After getting to know and appreciate each other over the years, they combined their musical ideas for the first time in 2020 and have continued their joint productions ever since. Together, they create mesmerizing soundscapes that combine organic textures and digital precision.

Markus Guentner, a pioneer of the ambient genre, is known for his cinematic sound designs, while Joachim Spieth, founder of the world-renowned label Affin, is appreciated for his work in the field of tension between deep techno and ambient.

Their collaboration combines these strengths in minimalist compositions that enable introspective listening experiences and immersive sound journeys. With the album Overlay, released in 2023, they have created a debut album that was characterised in ‘A Closer Listen’ as ‘dripping with narcotised and eroticised romantic impulses and feels like a living revenant from a voluptuous dream’. A handful of 10’ lathe cuts were subsequently released, containing remixes of their album by Pole, Abul Mogard, Rafael Irisarri and Hollie Kenniff, among others.
