Mexico meets Augsburg! Feines Tier veterans @theusmago and @dominik-marz join forces for the „Timewarp“ EP. And to everybody whose stream of consciousness associates this title to terms like „Feierei“ and „Gude Laune“: Well, you’re not wrong. The message is brought to you through on-point less-is-more drum programming, distorted toms, crystalline synths, chirping 303s and spliced-up vocals. So basically everything you’d ever need for a proper feierei. Mr Smallville Paris aka Jacques Bon and his pal Drux (nomen est omen?) serve their exquisite tastebuds to cook up a bittersweet remix of the tune, which makes for a deep(!) dish with its trippy percussion layers and nebulous pads. Maybe don’t drive a car after consuming this one. The gude vibes continue with „Fredonien“ which is served in two variations: Firstly the „Vox Mix“ which is going all in on honoring its title and is as sweet as candy, with the synth chords adding that dip of melancholy we’re craving from all the best deep house tunes. The regular version is a more streamlined affair, but don’t be fooled: The amount it’s lacking in heart wrenching vocals is more than made up by melodramatic Mellotron-y synths dropping by from time to time to say hello and raise the stakes. All we’ve got left to say after all these timewarps, drux and vox is: More of this collab, please!

PREMIERE | Theus Mago & Dominik Marz - Freedonien

We’re happy to cordially invite you to the Regression Session, hosted by eternal Philadelphia scene flag bearers @zillasonacid ! And if you think this sounds awfully lot like a scam, you’re probably right: „Regression Session“ is just a front of their illegal black market operation, trading raw uncut gems on a large scale. Just listen to the opener and title track and you won’t exactly have a strong case for the Zillas selling out, but rough as it is, this thing is capable of destroying any dancefloor it touches. Looking at their recent releases it’s fair to say the Z’s are on quite a run, putting out music on labels like Permanent Vacation, Throne Of Blood, Multi Culti or Ivan Smagghe’s Disques de la Mort. Tunes like the sneaky rough slow burners „Underling“ or „Start Digging“ sound like they could be lifted from the latter’s infamous DJ sets, while the deceptively titled „Cha Cha Cha“ or closer „Casual Observer“ justify the „Acid“ in the artist name. „Shining Snakes Across The Lake“ is what some years might have been called a mid-tempo house roller and probably counts as downtempo these days. Speaking of tempos, the penultimate „Sweet Days Of Discipline“ starts of masquerading as reaaally downtempo, but ends up throwing 155bpm kick drums at you, so better watch out, all you k-hole ravers! Let’s not forget to talk about „bquiet“, which is what you’d call mid-tempo house these days (125bpm) and uses the eternally banging combination of a jacking beat, a polyrhythmic bass line, some lead-synth stabs and talking vocal slices. You can practically smell the sweat. So what’s left to say? What you see is what you get: They are Zillas, and they are on Acid. And they provide a collection of eight tunes that probably each don’t necessarily have a double-digit amount of tracks in their DAW projects, and that’s exactly what makes them so forceful. Join the regression session!

Sometimes u have the feeling that this one feels absolutely rare and perfect. This set is a special one for me, because I was just being in the moment, feeling as calm as a excited. It was pure fun!

It has been quite a while since I played alone in front of an audience - and it almost felt, how to forget to do it on my very own haha :D
Even though the night at fi was again filled with friends and lots of familiar faces; and the club was packed full of heart open and kind people! Thanks to Feines Tier for throwing such a lovely event <3 

One of my favorite moments in this set was definately mixing Alle Warten by Sahra Bass and Daniel Neuland into Boys Noize - Oh! (A-Track Remix) - I always wanted to play this track!!

Thanks to my Friends, our Lafari crew, Franca for her birthday bash and everyone who was dancing, keeping up the energy high and felt connected to my ride of these beautiful pieces of music. 

Enjoy <3

2025’s 1st EP on Cologne’s Feines Tier label is coming from Mexican partners in crime @fargodevianti and @nvongold 
Both original tracks on this EP called Furor are inspired by the sounds of Acid House, Psychedelic Techno with hypnotic groove rhythms that take us towards a spiral of euphoric emotions in a mixture of organic and synthetic elements processed or decomposed with guitar pedal effects. 
Poetic but danceable vocals are an ode to cinematic visions and memories.
The package includes a very uncompromising remix by Guatemala based Fabio Me Llaman Soltero.
