Here’s Kantocast Kantocast021 blue Dietrich - “Sketches Of Latin America”

Changing the codes of electronic music, blue Dietrich is an alternative project driven by musician and sound engineer Felipe Paiva. From its conception in 2019, his unique way of producing electronic music has opened the doors to iconic independent labels like Bar25 and Café de Anatolia, as well as festivals like Burning Man and Chateau Perché.

*What pushed you towards music production? Where did the inspiration come from?
I’ve always had this inner need to express my creativity, and it could be in any domain. For me, music was the “tool” that was most adapted (it fits my geek side, it has a certain technicity for instrument learning, it has an incredible power on people), and so it was a perfect match to me. 
When producing, my inspiration comes from the music I hear around me, independently of the style. I actually don’t listen much to electronic music! Instead, I’m more into world music, rock,  jazz, pop, and then I feel the need of “changing” something, adding a certain flavor to something I’ve heard somewhere. What I love in electronic music is this DIY simplicity; you don’t need a full band, a studio and money, everything can be done with few things, and really quickly.

* Do you think music interconnects with culture? How does the environment you live in affect your music?
Music as an expression of culture. The harmonies, scales, instruments, rhythms, everything in music is materializing certain aspects of a culture. Maybe the composer / interpreter doesn’t even know it consciously, but it’s there.
For blue Dietrich, I try to make the people “travel” between different cultures and vibes. To be able to create a certain vibe with the audience, it is really important that I “deconstruct” the music I hear, so that I can “pick” different elements which I’ll then use to create the “flavours” of a certain culture and/or mood. In my point of view, the best way of doing this is to listen to music and travel, “live” things with my own eyes and ears, so that I can better “feel” things, capture them, and then add my “signature” elements, which keep an overall coherence of my work. 

* Do you get inspired by any other form of art?
Yes, mainly cinema. It helps a lot to “dive” into a vibe and get the music out of it.

* What makes a set a good one?
In my point of view, the capacity to take the audience into a trip, through different cultures and emotions. But this is a personal choice; sometimes people just want to dance to the beat and decompress…that’s fine for me too :)

* What’s the process you follow when bringing tunes together? Is it instinctive only or do you plan ahead?
I’ve been mainly playing only live sets since 2 years now, so I tend to compose music oriented to this. I let go of this constraint of making “songs”; I write music which are sometimes just interludes, or themes which are not even electronic music at all. 
Then the process of playing live to me is to define a “plot”, a “script” of where I’m going to take the public to. A “desert” vibe? A “latin” vibe? a “city nights” vibe? Then which moods, “ironic”, “playful”, “sensual”, etc. Once I have this in mind, the choice of the music to be used flows easily, and most of the time I compose some new music for each set, which I “test” to see how the public (and me!) feel it

Somewhere deep in the night on a big stage. @riyoon decides against playing his live set to instead go for dj mix of recent inspirations, his own tracks and old classic riyoon staples. The reception was incredibly enthusiastic so much so that months later he still was getting requests to release the recording. In the end he decided to publish the first hour of it. Here it is.

From @riyoon:

“Big shoutout to Sammy Legs & Unknown Concept for fresh inspirations and innovative sound design. You rocked the stage that night!”

Riyoon | DJ set | November 2023 🌑

Humming Hut @ Shpwrecked 2024

In Japanese there is a word 幸 (sachi) which translates as good fortune, and happy accidents.

One Friday (early) morning after a night of celebrations with my muse & partner, I decided to press record and have a mix in my lounge. Many DJs will understand what it is to get 'lost in the mix'... everything else disappears; nothing exists apart from that moment you're in and the music that's playing. This was one of those moments for me - there was no real thought as far as what tunes I would play, certainly no planning, and I just got completely sucked into the music. This was the result... 

A real eclectic bunch of tunes in here, from big bass lines with broken beats, to groovy minimal rollers, and everything in between... 

Recorded using 3x XDJ1000s, X:ONE 92 mixer & a Strymon Volante pedal. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Much love :) <3

Equinox Dreams (Organic Tribal Shamanic Anatolian Downtempo journey)

The city lights blurred through the tears welling up in my eyes as I sped down the highway. My heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces just hours ago when she ended things. Their words were still echoing in my mind, each one a fresh stab of pain.

My destination was a small, dimly lit club in another city. I had agreed to DJ there weeks ago, and despite my heartbreak, I couldn't bring myself to cancel. Music had always been my sanctuary, my way of processing the world, and tonight, more than ever, I needed it.

When I arrived, my heart sank further. The club was almost empty, with a couple of staff milling about but not a single guest in sight. The emptiness mirrored the void inside me. I set up my equipment, each motion mechanical, the weight of my grief pressing down on me.

As I started my set, the first few notes rang out, delicate and haunting. My fingers moved across the controls with a grace born of muscle memory, but my mind was elsewhere, replaying memories of laughter, of shared dreams, now all tainted with a sense of loss. Tears streamed down my face, unnoticed in the dark.

Despite the empty room, I poured my soul into the music. Each track I played was a journey through my emotions, a sophisticated mix of melancholy melodies and haunting beats. It was a set like no other, raw and real, each song a piece of my broken heart.

As the music swelled, so did my tears. I wasn't just playing for an absent audience; I was playing for myself, for her, for everything we'd had and everything we'd lost. The beats became my catharsis, each transition a step towards healing.

As the last notes faded into silence, I looked around the empty club. No one had witnessed my emotional release, but it didn't matter. I had played for myself, and in doing so, had begun to mend my broken heart.

The first steps towards healing

Sophisticated sadness
