Hello friends and music enthusiasts!

TAKT Mix Series is my first introduction to an artist, our first correspondence or conversation in person. 
Remember how you encountered a DJ at a bar or in the smoking area after their performance and struck up a conversation on topics close to both of you. Or perhaps you accidentally stumbled upon an unfamiliar producer in the studio and discovered new music...
That's why in this mix series, I try to find out the journey the artist has taken and what music they hold with great love in their library.

Welcome and enjoy listening!

TAKT Mix Series

After seven years since this Dutch duo released their infamous “Attic edits EP”, Moiety & Manik are back. Voodoo Hoodoo is their brand new 3-track EP filled with psychedelic analog heat for dance-floors and tribal rituals. Each track tells its own story from voodoo scenes to deep water worlds. This EP won’t let itself be defined by genres, but the style can be described as percussion driven electronic music that will play with your imagination and take you on a trip.

We are happy to present you 3 remixes for our 6th release by Kraut, Hugh Mane and Mens Aperta.

Kraut, also known as Daniel Zuur, has been a staple in the Amsterdam club scene since 2009. He released on labels like Shika Shika, Wonderwheel Recordings, Metanoia, Cosmic Awakenings, Tropical Twista Records and The Other Eye. He has played at clubs/festivals like Sisyphos, Fusion Festival, Gardens of Babylon, Wildeburg, Marktkantine, Garbicz and Welcome to the Future

Hugh Mane has recently released an excellent remix for LOVE APE - ZEN REMIXED, which made us invite him back. We love his warm and groovy house style. He’s had releases on Harvey's Mercury Rising, Running Back, Adult Contemporary, Growing Bin, Ugly Music.

Mens Aperta (meaning Open Mind) is the techno alias for Moiety. The debut EP in 2019 was the first release on the label. Also new Mens Aperta releases are planned for this year. Keep us in check for those

@denis-kazacov

A sunny morning in the middle of summer. You stand on a small plot of land in an old garden community surrounded by a pine forest. Dozens of fallen apples and pears lie on the ground, and the low wooden fence has long been concealed by ivy branches. Small and agile birds swarm in a destroyed greenhouse. A car drives by, its wheels pleasantly rustling through the sand. A curly-haired guy in a faded baseball cap sitting in the front seat notices you. He asks the driver to slow down and points his smartphone camera in your direction. Being in his position, it's impossible to resist. After all, you're the most picturesque abandoned dacha in the area, with wooden walls covered in peeling green paint. And in terms of beauty, the only thing that can compare to you is the mix for 5/8: radio by Denis Kazakov, curator of a nice label Sengiley Recordings

Timur Khusainov aka ESB (RU). Musician from Kazan (Tatarstan), Russia Federation who loves Micro & Clockwork Music. 
Resident of @utrorec & one of the founders of @maturlabel. 

It's always difficult to talk about oneself and describe one's perspective from the outside, which is why I believe that the material I've prepared should tell you much more. Currently, I'm in the final stages of working on my album, as well as preparing my other works for release. The mix was recorded in August 2023 at a party dedicated to the 2nd anniversary of the Walkers formation, in the historical center of Nizhny Novgorod. Since TAKT originated there, I never once thought that the mix could appear anywhere else!

Artist: Mark Du Mosch
Title: The Heavens
Label: Something Happening Somewhere

Cat.no: SoHaSo 022
Artwork by Joost Stokhof
Worldwide distribution: Kompakt

Never underestimate the power of a good bassline. Mark du Mosch certainly doesn’t. This veteran from the harbor city of Rotterdam let’s his vicious bass line creep up on you from behind on 202 AC Ra. A dark and jacking club belter with clear Chicago roots. The five track EP The Heavens may be his debut on SoHaSo, Du Mosch has been releasing music for over fourteen years on a variety of respected underground labels, such as Moustache, Dekmantel and Royal Oak.

His versatile style draws on sounds that evoke strong mental imagery and a sense of eternity, which clearly shows on the introspective Resonance Delay (She) on the B-side. In which a melancholic melody is supported by muffled slow motion beats.

The beautiful artwork on The Heavens EP is by Joost Stokhof, an Amsterdam based graphic designer who is known for his love for detail. Which makes him perfectly suited for Du Mosch’ subtle and well crafted dance tunes.

In a normal world you would open your EP with the title track. Du Mosch chooses to close with it. The Heavens stays true to it’s name. A harp like melody that washes ashore as foam from a greyblue Northsea that calmed down after the storm. Heaven indeed.

A1 Mark Du Mosch - 202 AC Ra

Pre-order >> https://fanlink.to/bushwa

Bristol based DJ, club promoter and producer, 
Chez de Milo, readies his debut release, and Futureboogie’s first release of 2021, with the ‘Bushwa’ EP.  Smagghe & Cross (AKA Ivan Smagghe and Rupert Cross) join the party with an epic Version of the title track.

On ‘Bushwa’, warming CR-78 drums initiate a bubbling blend of groaning pads, melodic keys and gated vocals as Chez de Milo crafts a solemn yet addictive 5am moment.  Smagghe & Cross stretch things out over ten minutes with their tantalising Version of ‘Bushwa’ that quite literally features a commercial break midway before motoring back up to chugging speed.  Cosmically charged this most definitely is!

Elsewhere on this prolific debut release, ‘Mantella’ features a smorgasbord of spacey riffs, splashy drums and idiosyncratic vocals, whilst ‘Golden Ratio’ wraps things up with an esoteric piece of bleepy, ambient house that is designed to feed your mind as much as for your feet.
