Fact Mix 871: MOBBS (Aug '22)

Berlin-based Ukrainian DJ and producer MIURA steps up for the next Lobster Theremin mix with an hour of groove-heavy house, acid and groove-heavy old school sounds.

Having worked as creative director and booker for the Kyiv venue duo Vognyk Bar/Arsenal XXII, MIURA transposed her life to Berlin following the devastating Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Now working on music full time, and with a scintillating HÖR radio set under her belt, here she presents the essence and beauty of her sound as a selector and DJ. A one hour expression of pure love and a story of inner feelings.

Marcel Dettmann — live from Boiler Room at Dekmantel Festival 2022.

Marcel Dettmann | Dekmantel 2022 | Sunday

@legowelt-official
There are many outstanding artists within Electronic Music, however, from another galaxy far, far away there is a human named Legowelt who has created his own world separated from all others. We had the pleasure of releasing a Legowelt remix on our Dim Garden Album release some months ago and now we've released a very special mix where you can listen to unreleased Legowelt tracks and a lot of tracks that he loves.
We believe that we live in a magnificent era being spoilt for choice and that’s how I feel when listening to Legowelt live sets. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Legowelt is one of the most influential artists of our time and a top artist who has always been identified as being in the Underground scene.

Perennially fascinated by old and battered noise-making machines, his dizzying output is defined by analogue textures and classic values ​​as well as an ever-roaming sense of sonic investigation that veers from techno to freaky house deepness via old school acid. A producer with a rare sense of humor.

They land on labels like Clone, L.I.E.S., Peoples Potential Unlimited and Nightwind Records in the form of myriad EPs but also well received full lengths like The Paranormal Soul and Pancakes with Mist.
 Enjoy this special set for Italo Moderni by the goat LEGOWELT!"

Donato Dozzy at The Labyrinth 2014.

Venue: Naeba Greenland, Gunma, Japan.

-----

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

Big fan of Jamiroquai from back in the day and noticed that apart from the classic Morales remix of Space Cowboy there's not actually that many quality edits around of his classic tracks, especially those staying close to the original. 
With that in mind been working away over the last few months and finally happy to be dropping a new mixtape and supporting 24 hour release of some of their classic joints.

Just a reminder, the album will only be available for 24 hours over on Bandcamp so one for the eager beavers!

Full Sample Mix out now over on Youtube plus this free taster joint to wet the appetitie.

Nueen has been mad busy in the last two years. The Barcelona-based Mallorcan has put out three albums of beautifully quiet and unhurried ambient. Each one has unfolded with its own intimate sense of narrative and showcased deft craftsmanship with both synth and guitar. The tunes drawn on the atmosphere of Nueen's home island so fits in with what you might call Balearic, but very much on its own terms. They are warm and gentle but underpinned with a melancholy that makes them all the more engaging. 

There is plenty of that on show across the opening of this week's podcast. Roomy arrangements are detailed with only the wispiest of pads but slowly a rhythm begins to emerge. It's dubby and dreamy and transports you out to sea on a sonic life raft that eventually sinks to the ocean floor. From there you roll along on supple drums, wispy pads drift by and shards of light pierce the surface. It is a perfect soundtrack to slowly awaken your soul on a lazy morning.

Where to begin with Slipmatt? A founding father of hardcore and rave in the UK he is arguably one of the most definitive figures in UK dance music having helped soundtrack some of the most iconic raves and parties this country has ever seen.

From Moondance to Fantasia, Helter Skelter to Raindance, Energy to Clockwork Orange.  Slipmatt has played them all and is regarded as a figurehead of rave culture.

Very little which has come since would have happened if it were not for his commitment and boundary breaking approach to dance music in the 90's.

Slipmatt is one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ which helped to define popular rave culture in the UK. This year marks thirty years since the release of 'On A Ragga Tip' - a track which remains as relevant and renowned in the present as it did at its inception.

In the present he continues to DJ and remains as crucial as ever, remodelling his traditional sound within the house music community with his 'Slip’s House' radio show on Centreforce 88.3 DAB digital radio every Wednesday from 8pm.

This mixtape takes us back to the roots of his sound, focussing on the 91-92 era and we are delighted and humbled to be able to welcome him to the series.
