"While putting the mix together I had an early morning slot in mind, taking over the decks to accompany the crowd after an already long night out - A situation which I miss like nothing else for more than a year now. As I am kept my daily routine finding new tracks, I have mixed my current favorite pieces of music out of my collection and tried to build a journey that will hopefully take place in reality again very soon. I recommend listening to the mix in one take! Thanks for having me and greetings from Cologne!"

Hailing from Bonn, Germany - Jonathan Kaspar is an integral part of the scene in Cologne. He is a resident at the city's renowned Gewölbe club and also one of the current main figures at the legendary Kompakt label. While Kaspar is constantly reinventing himself, he continues what he loves the most - being a DJ and producer!

Kaspar loves to play extra-long DJ sets building up a journey together with the crowd. Holding a residency at one of Germany's main spots in regards to underground electronic music clubs, Gewölbe, he regularly invites national and international guests to play extended nights with him while his busy DJ schedule has been built around that. 2021 started off with his much-acclaimed follow-up EP for Kompakt, including the track "Beton" which reached #1 in the Beatport Indie Dance chart for several weeks.

"I’ve always been sensitive to my surroundings and the world is in a very vulnerable place at the moment. I felt I needed to express my true emotions through something a little bit different to a conventional DJ mix and also that just writing one song was not going to be enough.

It was almost like composing a score, the only difference being that the pictures were only in my head. My ambition was for the music to evoke a visual response in the listener rather than just an emotional one. To do that I took some audio snippets of real life current affairs scenarios that really struck a chord in me and then used my DJ instinct to think of a track/musical piece that would fit well to that particular scene. Sometimes when I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted I added my own music over existing music or did my own sound design to create my own sound effects and also wrote some original pieces in the moment. It was very important to me to create ultimate flow and I felt this could only have been achieved without having any beats supporting the music. I also didn't want to make it eclectic nor constant as I felt that would disrupt the listener’s focus emotionally. There is a strong dynamic range throughout similar to classical music and also some parts that are almost meditative and then in contrast some more intense moments.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it." - @MatthewDekay

Its here, the second Oleeva podcast by @samgoku. Accomplished, authentic, eclectic music from around the globe, blended with passion and love. How romantic.. 

Read what he had to say when he sat down with us and kindly answered a few questions. 

Robin, your the first person to do 2 podcasts for us, and this is definitely your most eclectic to date. Please take us through some of the music youve included, the selections were perfect. 

First of all, it is as always a great honor to be able to do a podcast for Oleeva. For this one i’ve been digging quite a lot. I wanted to do a mix, that represents my latest sentiments on music. Besides the new findings, such as for example Japanese Ambient producer Hiroshi Yoshimura, who was one of the Pioneers of organic electronic music as we know it today, i included some pieces, that inspired me in my childhood. I tried to create a fluid composition of ambient and housy pieces which i enjoy and which inspire me at the moment.

2. Your currently sat on a bean bag in Laganini, Croatia, on your final night here, after playing 3 hours over the sunset, and an hour of table tennis before that! How was the set and how has your time here been?

I really had an incredible time in Laganini. The beautiful weather, the crystal clear sea and especially the welcoming warmth of the people and the communal spirit of this place makes it an experience i won’t forget. At the end of this day i played a really spontaneous set with Will from Kotu that had really relaxed and pure vibes and it turned out to be a great ending of my time here in Laganini.

3. We're biased, but we really think your recent Yao ep is your best yet, its so refreshing. How did the 3 tracks come to life, and talk us through their names please. 

Yao is a special EP for me, since it is the first original release of mine since i decided to be a full time producer and DJ in 2018. I started the EP when i came back from a trip to Japan with my brother. The memories and the spirit of the travel encouraged me to stick close to my roots for the upcoming releases when it comes to my productions. The names are as so often foreign words or coinages, inspired by words i know from different languages. In the case of this EP, „Kailo“ is an alteration of the Chinese word for „happy“, „Yao“ is a word that also appears in the track itself, which means „having“ in Chinese. Wulon is just something that came to my mind, when i wrote the track.

4. The boring old classic question.. whats next in the world of sam goku?

When i return from Croatia, i have some unfinished Projects on my desk, which i would like to work on and finish. I will be hopefully play some more gigs and at the end of this year i will look back on 2018 and decide what i want to do in the next year.

—-

5. Not so boring question, what do you think life on earth will be like in 1000 years, will humans still be around?

This is a hard question indeed. Considering the recent tendencies, life in 1000 years will be nothing like we know it today. I expect humans to evolve further and find solutions for the harm they’ve caused to this planet and their own mindsets. I really think that the best way into the future could be for every human to listen more to their hearts and find their true passion in life. There is nothing wrong in following the latest trends, if that really is what feels right but i feel it is important not to try and pretend to be someone you are not. That could lead us all to a bright and optimistic future. On earth or anywhere else.

Thanks for braving the mosquitos. Thank you for everything, huge love.

Sam Goku Yao EP

Oleeva Podcast Ten: Sam Goku - As Far As Never Before

art:cast #46 by Aera

Originally from Northern Germany Aera now resides in Berlin from where he spreads his artistically influenced music productions all around the globe. With releases on renowned labels such as Permanent Vacation, Innervisions, Maeve or Hivern Discs Ralf, Aera's real name, has drawn and gained lots of attention to and for his productions over the past several years, or how the producer would say it 'he sprinkled some fairy dust' amongst the scene. Certainly and shortly, the artist will continue to spread his magic further as late 2018 sees him releasing a remix on Duro, an EP on Permanent Vacation and playing at Berghain/ Panoramabar in December. Until then we have to settle with Aera's contribution to Torture the Artist's art:cast series, a 1 hour 21 minute lasting 'magic carpet ride' through the variety of genres, through Ralf's record box, through time and space. The Berliner by choice showcases his eclectic style in the most demanding and refreshing way, blending various genres and influences and creates one piece of music that, like Aera said before handing his art:cast in, 'flows'.
