Loving the beat and hook — (NeXt Sc Pro) can increase plays 💯

Now in its tenth year, Frankfurt-based record label Die Orakel has earned itself a strong catalogue of classy releases in a distinct sonic and visual attitude, its latest being a compilation called Braindance. 

A fair assumption about Braindance as a genre could be, that it's rather in the zone of kaleidoscopic and whimsical quirktronica, less about IDM's futurist tropes. From Die Orakel's point of view, its very own Braindance compilation marks the label's tenth anniversary by releasing an intense listener's atlas, to its own and their creative collaborators' musical slant of mind.

While much could be said about spectral traces of a leftfield past, nostalgia isn't heard anywhere. The more you listen to this selection, the deeper the tracks plug into your brain—stretching from ethereal harmonic licks rippling with fragile glitches, bleepy to bass-heavy electroid steppers of any BPM range, to abstract-scientific neo-modular artistry. 

Die Orakel's Braindance transmission can be had as a 15-track digi-release, as well as a 4-track vinyl EP. Pick either for your library of the future.

09 Benedikt Frey - YOUR K-Hole MY Soundtrack

A star amongst stars, Desyn has long been a prized artist in our community. His combination of atmospherics and groove is always a welcome sight on any lineup, but when he is combined with the rest of his Faciendo cohorts and Novaturient agency mates you know a memorable night is in store. From his time in the more progressive heights of house music, through to the underground forms he latterly has become synonymous for, Desyn has long been known as a barometer of quality that many gauge themselves against.

Trommel.227 - Desyn

Lapsus Radio se despide.

Tras iniciar nuestro camino como programa semanal en 2013, hoy, 12 años después, ponemos punto y final a una de las aventuras más enriquecedoras y desafiantes en las que nos hemos visto envueltos. Ha sido una experiencia llena de aprendizaje, sin dejar de lado en ningún momento el riesgo inherente a un proyecto experimental.

Sentimos que el trayecto debe concluir aquí. Después de más de una década compartiendo inquietudes musicales, ha llegado el momento de reordenar esfuerzos y centrarnos en otras iniciativas dentro del ecosistema Lapsus / Balmat que también reclaman nuestra atención.

Miramos atrás y nos emociona recordar a todos los invitados y amigos que han pasado por el programa, la ingente cantidad de música que ha sonado a lo largo de casi 500 emisiones y los incontables mensajes de cariño recibidos, dentro y fuera del estudio. Decir que nos hemos sentido privilegiados se queda corto.

Gracias Joan, Cris, Alfons, Mario, Gerard, Albert, Carles, y a todas las personas que han aportado su grano de arena para que Lapsus Radio alcanzara la máxima calidad con recursos muy limitados. Y, sobre todo, gracias a todxs aquellxs que habéis estado al otro lado, no solo escuchando lo que queríamos contaros, sino también poniendo dinero directamente de vuestro bolsillo. Esperamos que haya valido la pena.

Esto no termina aquí, nos encontraréis en otros proyectos, distintos en forma pero fieles en espíritu. Estaremos cerca.

¡Hasta la vista!

Albert y Philip.

Lapsus Radio #81 - ¡Hasta la vista!

there were a few moments this year - behind the booth and on the floor - that felt really profound. each time it was that subtle, inevitable pull of loopy, restrained dance music that took led me into that state only rhythm can put you in.

this mix traces an inward-to-outward drift: a slow, glistening rise from the depth of the ocean to a sun-kissed surface, if you will.

it’s also the first club random where i mixed some vinyl. one turntable and two digital decks for now, but it already gave me a wonderful new sense of perspective and depth in mixing.

hope you enjoy it!
