German DJ/producer David Hanke (best known for his long-standing work as Renegades Of Jazz) returns next week with a brand new 12"! Out 19th October via South London label Shapes of Rhythm, 'Der Kugelkreis' is home to two slices of what Hanke calls "Krauthaus" - deep, winding, psychedelic house music for the afterparty crew. Pure in conception and thoughtful in execution, both of these tracks are sure to be picked up by discerning DJs. Our pick is 'Permutation', a slow burner that dazzles with yearning chords, organic percussion and kaleidoscopic vocal cut ups.

A journey into slower sounds, mixing world, electronica, House, Disco, Techno, Tribal and Dub.

Bassalpin, the slow rider of the southern alps electronic music scene. A passionate wine lover, formerly based in the Viennese techno underground playing sets as “Kollektiv Bassalpin”. Nowadays his music can no longer be defined by one category:  hs DJ sets are journeys into organic and bass driven sounds mixing World, Afro, Techno, House, Dub and sometimes Disco. His music tells stories by attracting contrasts all around a slower pace, true to his motto: down with the tempo so there is more time to dance!
