01 Zip & Sammy Dee, Betalounge (22.05.2000)

It Reminds me that composing is a crusade. Sometimes you slay the Dragon, sometimes the Dragon slays you...

Ion Ludwig Live @ Club Der Visionaere - 30.05.2015 - 3H Cut

Sammy Dee needs very little introduction, his 20+ years involvement with Perlon and Get Perlonized events are evidence to his legacy who is an example as such that we have as role model. 

One thing I can talk about extensively however is him as a Dj. Sammy possesses an extremely wide taste in music and a record collection that follows that,  crossing over many genres of music. His ability to adapt to day or night sets, early or late slots and so on  is incredibly precise, as seen here at Sunwaves Festival last May. He was handing over to Dragos Ilici who crossed over to Binh. Please note that this set has intro / middle and ending, a feature that should be standard to us all but surprisingly it is not, hence my emphasis on it, it is a beautiful progression and killer structure. 

Sammy was one of my first bookings for the Toi.Toi.Parties and has been a close friend ever since.  I lost my shit during this set at Sunwaves with him and when finding out it was recorded I pestered him to allow me to release it as it has been on 'repeat' ever since. 

My due respect and thankfulness to this amazing soul and artist I truly admire. 

Enjoy it peeps.

Berlin-based and American born artist, Oshana, is one of those artists to watch closely this coming 2020, as she has gained recognition in the house movement in recent years through her unique mixing and production style, having released on recognized imprints like AmPartisan, Brouqade, and BodyParts among other notable labels. Oshana is a resident for Partisan at the infamous Club Der Visionaere in Berlin, and also keeps an active touring schedule.

MEOKO Podcast Series | Oshana

Welcome to a new show that sports a series of fortunate events made of intuition, calculation, audacity, lucky chances, and sensational finds from my own record shelves. Due to some unknown reason one phono channel caused a distortion at times (which seemingly did not affect the master output). Sorry for the interference.

Mixed + recorded live at "Get Perlonized", Panorama Bar, Berlin, 06.12.19

REXCAST #1 - MOLLY

Mike is one of those artists that I don't even know where to start to write about him, it is such an extensive history and one I have so much respect and admiration for. 

Definitely a Dj's Dj, owner of an enviable and unique mixing technique and pretty much an encyclopedia of music, Mike's first time coming to Europe from Canada to play he was as young as 21... as the story goes, he even ends up meeting Florian from Kraftwerk... read on. 

The mix series is very personally dear to me and I like telling stories which connect me to this amazing friends and artists. Sitting at one of the many afterparties with Mike, I asked about the first times coming to Europe and he drops me this story which is amazing! 

Mike  was touring with Jeff Milligan for his second tour in Europe... he was only 21, he was getting picked up at the train station in Dusseldorf with Jeff and the promoter from the Original Ego club (not the one that Solomun would make in Hamburg later) was like "where is Mike??" and he was standing there like.. "I'm Mike".. and she was like really!?   laughing and saying that he was the youngest DJ they ever booked and the youngest person to come in the club! 
Mike was already of course  a little intimidated by the high brow of these Germans, then he was meeting Robert Henke who was in charge of the sound system and then to top things up (as if this wasn't enough to intimidate this kid) - while playing he was introduced to Florian Schnider from Kraftwerk and was, inevitably star struck.. , meanwhile Milligan was laughing at him for how much he was gushing!

"I still like that faceless ideal of the early ’90s. Techno is meant to be faceless. That was part of the magic, and that’s part of what made it better than pop music—it was something different, something beyond that." 
(https://xlr8r.com/features/mike-shannon-for-me-techno-has-always-been-a-faceless-thing/)

Mike has granted the decks at Toi Toi several times, but one of these times it was very dear to me. Him and Lutz for me were (still are) two of my absolute favourites (same generations, the golden 90s, as special as each other in my book) and I had both for my birthday weekend which had a Toi Toi on the Friday, we celebrated Ricardo 10 years at fabric Saturday and on Sunday, we joined forces and got a loft afterparty until Monday! 

So many memories... 

Thank you Mike for all of the above, for being such the great friend you have always been and the badass artist you are, as a dj and producer. Happy Anniversary for the 20 years of Cynosure, this label which gave us so many classics and gems we will keep for life.
