Sunday Dub Club Selection - January 30 2022

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

First hour of my Sunset session recorded live at Svarte Beach Cafe - Ystad - Sweden. Dubb:y groovy downtempo and balearic toes in the ocean vibes. Big love to Peter @ Svarte Strandcafe and all the fantastic people who came and made the evening magical.

Andreas Engvall And The Machine Soul - When You See Me

Andreas Engvall And The Machine Soul - When You See Me (Mindbender Raw Acid Mix)

NO WAY! CIAO
That was the response we got from the Ibiza Radio DJ, when we tried to get them to air an early version of this.
To be honest - the screaming howl - a severely twisted version of the R&B original vocal - and the hard driving Moroder:ish acid-b-line might not have been the most top 40 friendly material around.
So turn it into a radio friendly version? 
NO WAY!!! Instead we took that as the obvious name for the track - and bounced it back and forth into two even more underground versions - raw and wharehouse-twiddles - and have since been road testing them as secret weapons on numerous dancefloors, causing bit of mayhem whenever dropped. 
From April 5th they will be available on the Interwebz
Let. The. Disco. Go. Wrong. 🙃

Mindbender & The Machine Soul (Raw Filth Mix)

"Varsam syra" means gentle acid in Swedish. You know, the kind and warm one, not harsh and disturbing, but loving and understanding, somehow jazzy, still true to the roots.

Happy Bicycle Day!

Varsam Syra

Had the absolute privilege come down do a sunset session together with my old friend Peter Snogen at the lovely Svarte beach bar.

This is the first hour of the afternoon sunset session.

We then played for a fantastic crowd that danced into the night hours, big love <3

Mindbender - Euforisk Synaps (Högt I Tak Remix) 


This release by Högt I Tak, The Machine Soul, and Mindbender marks a significant moment, bringing together the founding members of the Swedish-based collective When Disco Goes Wrong on a single project. It serves as a tribute from the label to acknowledge and celebrate their outstanding contributions over the past few years.

These three artists have been instrumental in shaping the distinct "Paisley Dark Sound," blending elements of techno, electronic, and experimental music to craft something truly unique and forward-thinking. Their innovative approach has played a key role in defining the label’s identity and musical direction.

By featuring all three artists on this release, Paisley Dark acknowledges their dedication and lasting influence. The project not only honors their past work but also highlights their continued collaboration and impact on the broader music scene.

Long may the partnership continue.

"You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."

Northern electronica with an organic feel and solid groove.

The Machine Soul, AKA Robert Folkesson. Robert was part of the early rave and house scene in Stockholm, dj-ing at various underground warehouse parties and legendary clubs like Deep in Bleep, Monday Bar and Le Garage. The Machine Soul is Roberts’s brain child for producing deep and groovy downtempo, tech and deep house - plus the occasional acid techno attack - released on labels like Hug Records @hugrecords EKORD @ekordmusic , When Disco Goes Wrong, Paisley Dark Records @yeadonred and his own label Machine Soul Records.

You can spot him from time to time doing live and dj sets - often together with his wingman Mindbender - @marten-attling
