Lusine has been one of my favourite producers for a long time. I'm just going back over some of his first releases on Ghostly International from the early 00's, and it's amazing how ahead of the game he's always been. His combination of delicate productions and beautiful warm analogue melodies, intricacies and amazing shuffling grooves have been a big inspiration for me over the years, with his "A certain distance" album from 2009 being one of my all-time most listened too albums.

So Lusine was one of my ideal remixers for the album, and thanks to Sean at Decibel festival, the hookup was made and he was into the idea. He's turned out a beautiful remix of Woven Ancestry, which if you've seen me play recently, you probably heard in my set. The mix has special balance of being a great piece of music to listen to at home, but then when it's unleashed in a club it's groove takes on a whole new life which I hadn't seen coming until I tried it out - Thanks Jeff!

Woven Ancestry - Lusine Remix

Underset - Berlin

A reflection on influence, choice, and the unknown currents that guide our path. The sounds intertwine between authority and freedom, shadow and brilliance, revealing the tension between external strength and inner determination. Each layer carries the weight of decision, yet leaves room for personal resonance and quiet healing.

Paradise of You

Extrawelt - Mit Liese Auf Der Wiese - Max Cooper Remix (Traum)

This piece of music is called Goldene Acht or Pale Clouded Yellow, a bright yellow butterfly with a figure-eight shaped pattern on its lower outer wings. As a migratory butterfly, an individual animal travels often several hundreds of kilometers. Over the year, the species produces three or even four generations. The last generation overwinters as a caterpillar. With this track I wanted to tell you about this never-ending journey from south to north and back again in several generation steps. Therefore new theme-generations appear in the track constantly, while having all the same migratory direction. At the same time it was also my endeavour to picture the elfin nature of this marvellous creature in a musical way. Every year I can observe it in my garden and enjoy its elegant flight from blossom to blossom for hours with childish astonishment.

Dieses Musikstück heißt Goldene Acht, ein leuchtend gelber Schmetterling der ein Muster in Form einer Acht auf den unteren Außenflügeln trägt. Als Wanderfalter legt ein Individuum oft mehrere hundert Kilometer zurück. Über das Jahr bringt die Art drei oder sogar vier Generationen hervor, bei denen die letzte Generation als Raupe überwintert. Diese permanente Wanderschaft von Süden nach Norden und wieder zurück in mehreren Generations-Etappen, möchte ich in diesem Track erzählen. Daher tauchen immer wieder neue Abschnitte von Klangmotiven auf, die aber alle stets die selbe Zugrichtung haben. Gleichzeitig war es aber auch mein Bestreben das elfenhafte Wesen dieses wunderschönen Geschöpfes musikalisch zu skizzieren. Jedes Jahr kann ich den Falter ausgiebig auf der Wiese vor meinem Haus beobachten und könnte seinem eleganten Flug von Blüte zu Blüte stundenlang mit kindlicher Begeisterung zuschauen.
