how can i tell you

Book yourself a hotel room, get your beaver suit on and get that hot coffee brewing ready for some Lokier listening:

With a current release on Days Of Being Wild featuring fellow DJ and friend Morgan Hammer, the Mexican DJ/Producer is riding high, making the move to Barcelona to explore all that Europe has to offer. Keeping busy with upcoming EP's with labels Have A Killer Time and Nein plus a selection of remixes, mixes and compilations in the making, we'd say you'll be hearing a lot more of Lokier.

Sling & Samo are the exiting duo behind the Born Free record label which resides in Stockholm. Over the last few years the pair have been releasing a vast array of weird, wonderful, oddball music: some built for the dancefloor and some certainly not. The pair are colourful characters who don't take themselves or what they do too seriously. Samo is also well known in his own right as a producer and dj having released music for the likes of LIES, The Trilogy Tapes and Public Possession but together with Sling the pair enter a new realm of musical exploration. We asked them to record a mix for us.

Order album here: http://microcosmosrecords.com/a-kara-back-to-samsara/

Microcosmos is happy to present "Back to Samsara", the chillout album by A-Kara.

Enlightened beings can return back to samsara to help others explore the meaning of life. Some of them think it's better to speak with music.

"Back to Samsara" is a collection of unreleased chillout gems, produced by Vitaly Bochkov in past ten years and carefully selected by DJ V++.

This fine release includes 9 deep and relaxed themes from ambient to downtempo. A-Kara's emotional music is filled with soft sounds and smooth melodies. Warm beats with gentle percussions over layered surroundings - a perfect combination for an hour in tranquility and joy.

Every tune here is a soundtrack for sacred moments of your life: ceremonies and initiations, sentimental feelings or inspirational retreats.

Listen and experience the mystical beauty of A-Kara sounds!

A-Kara - Strange Children

Order album: http://microcosmosrecords.com/cubering-soma/

Microcosmos Records presents Soma by Cubering, chillout music producer from Moscow, Russia.

“Soma” is a musical tale about the complicated journey of the exploration of the inner self through altered states of consciousness and following experience.

Layered atmospheric shades, warm bass, strong beats and gently percussions filling the time and space all around the listener.

Every tune is different and memorable. Music ranges from slow and minimalistic “Birdman” to groovy uplifting “Booster,” from funky “Transitional State” to dramatic and substantial “Mass.”

All together, tracks complete a good soundtrack for spectacular trip or self-reflection session.

When it comes to record labels there are very few who can contest the continual relevance of Sonic Cathedral. Born and bred from the depths of obscure club nights they since evolved into one of the most engaging and individual record labels in the UK. Never one for hype or over exuberance they have steadily released music since 2006 and continue to move forwards. 

The latest project to emerge from the record label is a new club night called 'Ambience Chasers'. The evening will take place monthly in London and will focus on the more obscure elements amidst electronic music. Expect soundscapes, drone music and ambient bliss.

Sonic Cathedral 'Ambience Chasers' : The 'Monday Is Okay' Mix

Expect the unexpected. That's the philosophy Rotterdam-based DJ mad miran promotes in her DJ sets. A regular on the Dutch capital's mainstay Red Light Radio and a face behind the counter at the infamous Clone record shop, Miran has fast become one of the country's most promising DJs. 

Although she only played her first DJ set in a club a couple of years ago, she's already landed a residency at Trouw successor De School and become part of the Strange Sounds From Beyond family, seeing her name spread like wildfire and lead to a string of gigs across Europe.

We invited her to dive into her record bag for us and the result is 80 minutes of leftfield electro, raw breaks and introspective electronica. Enter into the crazy world of mad miran...

mad miran: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

Amsterdam has been graced with a fearsome array of fabulous selectors and disc jockeys in recent times, the city is abuzz with experimental music and talent. 

Orpheu The Wizard has been a pivotal figure in the development of the scene, crucially helping to nurture new faces through his key role as a co founder of Redlight radio - a distinctive platform which has acted as a gateway and an open door to a new wave of music, producers and dj's. 

His own background is well versed, he's earnt his stripes and played the long game building a respectable array of musical knowledge and selective talent which he uses to entice and delight crowds across Europe and beyond. Eclectic, far reaching and multi purpose - his sets often run wild across a sprawling spectrum of sound. 

This year he will play at Love International festival, an appearance which should not be missed.

Step back, this is a big one. 

Across the past couple of decades there have been very few who can attest as much influence as that of Joakim, a singular producer who has been charted as an influential figure by many of the leading producers and disc jockeys in the present.

The French outsider has amassed a notorious reputation for his eclectic style as a disc jockey and producer having released music on the likes of Versatile, Kitsuné Music, Life And Death, Crosstown Rebels and beyond. As the founder behind Tigersushi Records and Crowdspacer he has been responsible for leading a new generation of talent into the dance and has played a key role in the future development of dance and electronic music. 

As an individual his own take on music is wide and vast, not one to shy away from the alternative or experimental he has done well to channel a sprawling array of style, genre and sound across his own lengthy career and in all honesty Joakim continues to surprise and intrigue with delight. 

A Dj's dj, he is a firm favourite and we welcome him as part of the series.
