And just like that.. Another festival season is gone. As a closing-greeting & to celebrate Prior Act’s Nr 50, we’re happy to bring an exclusive set recording:

Alex Tomb isn't just an over-20years-practicing Dj/(Later on, producer, on Several Reasons & Capparis Spinosa - his own label - amongst others) and a techno figure in his homeland (Cyprus): he's been keeping on pushing to generate quality and  enthusiasm around techno music since his returning. As such he naturally took part to the quite recent Emotions festival, located in the "Angel’s Hills Resort" in Nicosia; a gathering of both local & International ambitions, that has reunited names such as Dasha Rush, Amandra, F-On.. as well as emerging artists.

Thankful & super pleased to get this opportunity focusing/shedding light on his work (the excerpt isn't to find anywhere else and was recorded last June). Alex not only shows us there's other horizons beyond Berlin and his various  [past] residencies @[Griessmüehle/KLUBD/] STAUB (<-- still active), but his unextinguished passion for the craft. This >>Techno<< set excerpt ranges from minimal influences, techno with powerful beats, to more subtle, soulful, psy playfulness - as well as melodic bits, where spontaneity and honoring detroit/housey vibes has its spot. More resonates as an invitation to let go & dancing in the joy of present moment, leaving spaces here and there to rest and look upwards. A simple, yet powerful Techno's spirit celebration, free of tags, small-boxing, and as much a reflection of his long years of (crowd management/)practice. All of which under the stars, close to the mountains and a breezy sea. ..

Thank you so much Alex for this exclusive, powerful session & Gift  ❤️🖤

▶ Official Bio
"Alex Tomb was born in Nicosia in the 80s. Mainly a DJ for 20 years and music creator slightly after, with residencies at legendary klubd, Nicosia for over a decade, and at STAUB, Berlin. He had releases on various European labels such as STAUB, Several Reasons, as well as his own label Capparis Spinosa.
An experienced mixer with precise attention to detail, a very delicate touch and effervescent resonance. Alex directs the listener through deep explorative trips that play with the psyche. A musical dialogue filled with colours, changes of perspective and almost life-changing dispositions."

Vincent Neumann - Acid Tracks Done Quick

Amulador at Champalimaud Foundation (Lisbon)

For our ninth instalment we’ve invited Nikos, a talented DJ, producer and event organizer from the Netherlands.

He is known for incorporating lots of organic percussions, crazy textures, and trippy synths in his live and DJ-sets. Playing at clubs like Radio Radio, POING, and performing for organizations like Traumgarten and Conflux. 

Some words by Nikos about his mix:
I wanted to incorporate different sounds that will remind the listener of nature. If you listen closely you’ll hear sounds that are familiar to wood, water drops and subtle animal noises. This mix consists only music created by myself, which I’ll usually use during my livesets and sometimes in my DJ-sets. 

The mix starts subtle with soft bells to calm the mind, moves to atmospheric tracks and then propels into more trippy techno before ending again with melancholic chords and a repetitive but soft rhythms. 

Please enjoy the latest contribution to our series, and don’t forget to come by and check Nikos out during our first event on the 4th of November.

HYPNOSIS 009 NIKOS

@pillen presents Henko.

Henko: 変 更

Deep and transformative change from which there is no return to the initial state. It is that turning point that raises us above fear and worries, adopting a new attitude to life.

The word henkō is composed of the kanjis 変 Hen, meaning "change" and 光 kō, meaning "variable or with an unusual light".

Lange her, dass ich versucht habe irgendwas hochzuladen … was hat mich dazu bewegt? Ich denke viele Regentage und depressive Neujahrs Haltung … Spaß bei Seite, einfach pur Bock darauf!

Overtime #3 fokussiert sich auf die organische Art und Weise CDJs zu spielen.

------------------------------------

Hey there,
It's been a while since I tried uploading anything... What prompted me to do it? I guess a lot of rainy days and a bit of a downbeat New Year's vibe... But enough of that! Just really felt like doing it!

Overtime #3 focuses on playing CDJs in an organic way.
