German producer with releases on ESP Institute and Live At Robert Johnson is back in LAYERworld with his second mix for the series. Love Pain Sunshine & Rain/Serious Trouble/R.i.O. founder, and one of the most beloved selectors of the leftfield arena, Benedikt Frey, is contributing with his signature imaginative picks. 

It takes about three seconds for Benedikt Frey to suck you into his world/whorehouse/opium den. We see him apply that recipe to his LAYER, too. For Frey, each transition is a chance for a U-turn or a speeding ticket, which makes this an unforgettable mix.

Lott's sound can be defined as a psychedelic imprint topped on a structured drum machine rhythm, all mixed with his generous usage of warm percussion and other spices. An ongoing love for sound sculpting and rhythm, love and equality, is what drew his whole-self into electronic music.

Inhaling influence from industrial club music, rave sounds and new-wave, Lott is releasing music with labels such as Feines tier, Karkater records and Iptamenos Discos. Besides that, he also performs live.

In Lott's LAYER, it's curious how you find yourself transported from holding hands with fairies in the woods to someone's birthday party to a bitching club experience in a very gentle manner. The only problem is you never leave that club. 

Nowadays relocated back to his hometown Tel-Aviv after a period of exploration in Berlin, he is looking forward to delivering more music in the near future.

Hailing from Paris, Silver Fox started to buy records about fifteen years ago.
At that time people into oddities and strange sounds were quite a few so he quickly connects with djs and label owners who share the same interest.

Guided by his passion and this stimulating environment he started Camisole Records with the reissue of "Invasion" by the band No Unauthorized. At the beginning devoted to french 80's post-punk, the label extends his territory to ambient and experimental pieces. Recently the label has made a focus on Japanese artist Takayuki Shiraishi with the reissues of his two industrial projects MLD and Tristan Disco.

This mix shows his current obsessions from german industrial misfit to japanese obscure proggy ambient. Silver Fox is more than ever addicted to hunting unpredictable sounds.

The label gave us sick reissues, so expect to land in a place where industrial oddities meet the progs and krauts of the world, with an occasional fresh dance.

DC Promo Tracks #970: D.Yaroslav "Badha Dheer"

"This is one of those stories that starts with a boy finding a book in a dusty attic. 'Weird Legend' drags you across contrasting seascapes, offering different lighting from song to song. Abundant in field recordings from this former sailor officer's favorite beaches of Crimea, this material has sounds of the sea and ocean as a main inspiration. Both gentle and moist in its melodies and as harsh as techno can get in its beats, D. Yaroslav’s debut takes a strong stance and doesn’t fall out of character. Once again, we are helping the ones in need. Dug Up The Bongo founder reached out to us with this entrancing material to help Kyiv’s humanitarian fund “Grains of Peace”, started by “20ft radio”."

Johana is a DJ and visual artist from Belgrade, recently based in London, UK. She has been part of the DJ duo Banda Panda for over a decade. Johana ran two party serials; F-Society - whose concept was dedicated to promoting local female electronic DJs and producers and BIPOLAR - focused on bringing more left-field underground international artists to Belgrade. She explores through techno and trance, acid house, industrial, EBM, post punk, downtempo, gloomy disco.

In her decade-long affair of party making, Johana has become a master within the mid-tempo arena. Intricate melodies give color to an overall gloomy and mysterious selection, crafted for dance in pairs. After her move to London, Johana didn't fall for the trends or stray from this path.

Lithuanian, Vilnius-based midnattssoula is a label owner, DJ, radio host and party starter. He runs his own project Where Were We? for more than 4 years now and the show will be hosting its 120th guest this month.

WWW label has released its sixth release this spring and it's the remix pack for Azole's "Mr. Sutherland" EP. It features four strong remixes from Romain Fx, Endrik Schroeder, Ivan Fabra and Black Feeling.

Label’s first Various Artists compilation is in the pipeline and it will feature a bunch of well-known WWW affiliates and friends. It should be dropping in late summer, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for this one. 

The mix itself contains 25 tracks and it’s Ramunas’ way of answering the perplexing question that bothers so many of us - so Why really do People Dance? Gentle house notes open the story, and Italo and Acid influences follow. Perfect for the beginning of summer.

Though they have known each other for quite some time and hang around a lot, somehow Sibilë & Phun Thomas have never really talked. It was when Sibilë asked to help with her album that they began getting closer to a point of trying to create something together. These days their rendering pauses are full of support, insights & laughter. What they chat about in the studio remains a mystery to us all, but their first track comes out to live its life.

Garçon Gaston is born on the coast of Ukranian-Azov sea and emigrated to Germany 20 years ago. He has been collecting and playing music for almost a decade. His eclectic approach to setting up the storytelling developed through the time and combined listening but also danceable elements. 
 
For the last two years, he is also running the underground event series "Obscure Obsession" in Berlin. Trying to connect scene and music-lovers who are not visible.
 
Mystic, dark and sometimes funny (meant with a wink), he put some Slacid, Leftfield-Disco, Electro, and Wave from his Vinyl collection for the LAYERS Mix. Some of our favorite examples of these genres are hidden in this three-hour-long mix.

I played my DJ set for UKRAiNATV, an informative platform which philosophy is to create and research intercultural connections, discover history and build a hybrid identity & future of Polish-Ukrainian relations.

During the interview, I talked about the benefit event "Artists for Ukraine" which I organized with my friends from SYNERGY CULT collective.

This is my first set, played in an unusual, slower style. I wanted to showcase and represent the eastern scene in it. I come from Lithuania, so I chose a few tracks from Lithuanian producers. In my selection some tracks come from a multi-genre compilation which was created to raise funds to help Ukraine by producers from around the world.

It is the opposition to Russia's aggression, as well as nostalgia, longing for the world, for the order that I knew.

DJ Hamam’s journey began in the Aegean coast in the well noted hamam street of Bodrum. This voyage led to the urban spheres of European cities over the years, where Hamam DJs and produces music in different sorts of artistic areas. The question of identity, which is in constant motion and simultaneously rooted somewhere deep in the music, is DJ Hamam’s impulse for the endless aim of creative exploration.

Currently based in Vienna the virtuose persona of DJ Hamam is going to drop the first music and numerous collaborations by the end of the year which will reveal the puzzle little by little.

Jenя Gatash is a multi-genre artist from Odessa (Ukraine) currently based in France. Her every mix is a story of sensations where a sound collage becomes a single metaphysical space drawn up with strokes of contrasting music genres: instrumental music, ethno, opera, techno, breaks, electro, synth wave, idm, acid, glitch, ambient, fourth world,  jazz.
She records fragments of environment, musical instruments, vocals from various parts of the world, processes those and adds sounds of analog synthesizers.
Jenя works as a sound producer with galleries and theatre projects, performs as a DJ. She has her own series of intellectual parties called “Concept rave”. She organized the first open queer events in the muslim capital of Tatarstan and was a curator of art and performance events at the AWAZ music festival.

At the moment she is preparing to release her debut album and experiments a lot with the subject of opera and baroque music representation in modern times. She defines her artistic, performative and musical works in this context as metaopera, metabaroque, experimentalopera, electroopera.
