Groove Podcast 07 - David August

For those who were asking what the mysterious mix that was put on after the DJs stopped playing outside at the Life and Death party in Art Basel, here it is. A mellow trip prepared by Greg from Thugfucker and presented here as a little thank you from all of us at Life and Death. 

It's been an amazing year and we're so very appreciative of all the support we've gotten as we've adventured forwards on this incredible musical trip together. We've got lots of exciting things planned for the year ahead (and beyond!) and we look forward to continuing together on this ride wherever it takes us.

Thanks for being there with us along the way. It really does mean the world to us...

Greg's Mellow Trip

This was the first ever sunrise set at DISTRIKT and our first visit to DISTRIKT.
Together with everybody who was present, we had a musical flight that took off in pitch black darkness and soared into the rising orange sun. It was a unique experience and certainly one we’ll never forget. Thank you for dancing and sharing this moment together!

Next month we're opening a store in Cologne, which just so happens to be the hometown of our guest DJ, Marcus Worgull (@marcusworgull). It's safe to say that Worgull's work is very diverse: it ranges from the deepest house-cuts on Berlin's famous Innervisions label, to synth-heavy ambient productions as 'Vermont' (Marcus Worgull + Motor City Drum Ensemble). Oh, and let's not forget his brilliant remixes for The XX and Fink.

This guest mix features a selection of beautiful, melancholic tracks, put together in a story telling way.

We had the very happy chance to ask him a few questions:

The original mellow trip... Originally recorded for Art Basel back in the heyday of Life and Death... reposting here and making it downloadable so you can get your mellow on whenever and wherever you want. 

Turn on, tune in, chill out...  :)

Hello dear,

After the smashing set by Oliver Koletzki recorded at The Monastery, we have another big one that came out to play. Greg, aka Thugf**cker recorded the first downloadable set on our SoundCloud for those travelling out on a long way home the upcoming days.

Greg, one of our favourite beings on this globe joined our family in July last year. He's been taking a road less travelled by ever since and is such a big inspiration for the team behind The Gardens of Babylon.

"For those of you heading out to the desert this week or just those of you who want to take a long trip inside your mind, here’s almost 5 hours of journeying music to accompany you and help steer you along the ride… Remember: A mellow head trip is a happy head trip!"

With love,
Greg

We're exceptionally happy to welcome this trip in our list of tracks. It's the unusual surprise that will be a perfect guide on the road to the dust. 

See you all out there!

With all the love,

The Gardens of Babylon

The Long Way Home - Thugf**cker

The last 3 hours of a 14 hour party with our feet in the sand, good vibes all around and a pretty spectacular view. Not to mention a killer soundsystem. We experienced it like a waking dream, all together...

Yamcast #2 /w DJ T. (@get-physical-music)

This summer we had the pleasure and honor to host @djt who captured the Yamba sunset vibe so perfectly that we decided to release the recording as the second installment of our Yamcast series. We also sat down with him for a little bit of our recurring chit chat which you can find below.
 
Sit down, relax, and enjoy these two hours of blissful sunset vibes craftully patched together by one of the pioneers and major driving force of the contemporary electronic music culture.

//What do you love about Yamba?
Oh, there is a lot I love for it. I love the family spirit that’s behind it, its design, the quality of the food and the drinks and its musical orientation. Musically I am more the timeless side myself and I like it when people the guts to not run chasing every trend.

//What was your idea when your played this set at Yamba. recently?
Obviously there was no dancing allowed, so I played a lounger set that was supposed to simply create the perfect ethereal and floating soundscape for the beautiful day at the beach. I knew that Disco and soulfulness are strong elements of the music choice usually and that’s what I’m coming from so wherever it’s welcome I play a set like this. 

//What’s your ritual before a gig?
If you wanna call it a ritual. I always do the following: whenever I come into a venue, a room, I try to feel it. Sometimes that takes only a few minutes, sometimes more. I am trying to intuitively feel into what this room needs to take off. Sometimes this can mean to reset a room at 10bpm lower from the first records to slowly rise the energy again, sometimes it’s continuing exactly there where it is at this very moment and transforming it later. I am also feeling into the question if the room is ready at all for these types of stories I like to tell and sometimes, not often, the answer is a no. And then I just play a set that’s more on the functional side because in the end it’s my job to make the people dance.
