dark techno

So I compiled quite a fair amount of music for the Burn as I had organised a themed tent (The Noble Savages - Not so secret garden party) and I had various gigs around the Burn. Little did I know that I was going to learn one of the most important lessons of my whole Burn experience not only 3 hours before I was meant to leave for the Burn..."Letting Go". 
I was moving house on the morning I was meant to leave and my laptop with all my music was stolen out of car. All my music...GONE! No backups, no insurance, no time to make a plan. GONE! I was fairly peeved but there was nothing I could do, I just had to get on with it and enjoy myself. I carried that attitude throughout the burn and I must say, I had the best time. I ended up playing a set at my tent with a friends USB stick and had an absolute blast. 
It's taken me a while to get another laptop and retrieve all my music, but I'm back in action and ready to share all this wonderful music I've found. 
Since I've got such a shit ton of music I thought I'd release it in a series of 3 mixes, each with their own unique flavour. 
This first mix is a building set that could easily be played as an opening set for a techno night. It's slow, dark and dirty. A great tension builder (hence the Spaceman Lego Profile Pic). 

I hope you enjoy the mix. 

Much love.

Diynamic Music's sister label 2DIY4 are announcing the release of a rework by one of their newest additions, Undercatt. The Italian pair recently remixed The Temper Trap’s ‘Sweet Disposition’, and managed to flip it from a once bright shining pop track into a true underground anthem with a great sense of style. It is a track you will have heard if you were at the Destino Ibiza closing when Solomun finished his set with the piece, to great receptions and big reactions.

Sweet Disposition (Undercatt Remix) is out on December 11th on 2DIY4.

The first release on Reinier Zonneveld’s own imprint, Filth on Acid, launches a special EP-series, Cocktails Mix series, whereby Reinier Zonneveld collaborates with artists that influence him, both creatively and personally.

Cocktails Mix I brings 4 different variations of tech to the floor. First up is Cold Conquest, featuring Stil vor Talent's head honcho Oliver Koletzki, together they deliver a peak-time track with lots of emotional and musical elements, while keeping a steady heavy rhythm section.

Adding Gem’s labelhead Secret Cinema to the cocktail gives us a purist no nonsense techno banger perfect for dark rooms and dirty basements. 

For the third track on the EP, we see Reinier Zonneveld combined with Gabriel Ananda, showing their emotional and deep signature sound coming to the forefront, with mesmerizing melodies and brilliant synthwork. Perfect for a night closer or sunny open air.

Finally the EP closes of with Matt Sassari and Reinier going all out with an extreme energetic bomb, featuring a machine gun like synth bass.

Enjoy the filth (on acid)!

Over the past seven years Desert Hearts has become one of North America’s strongest curatorial forces for underground shades of house and techno. Through their flagship festival, touring event concepts, and record label, the brand has fostered a community of music fans in search of peak dancefloor experiences. With a diverse range of taste offered from its founding members, the Desert Hearts sound embodies a spectrum of sonics fit for any time, from day time get-downs to the darkest hours just before daybreak. 

It is those otherworldly moments of early morning reflection that embody the sound and direction of the label’s newly founded subsidiary, Desert Hearts Black. The label has been announced today as a creative outlet for Desert Hearts founder Marbs and fellow venturer into the deeper and darker avenues of electronic music, Evan Casey. Those who have attended Desert Hearts’ flagship festival will know Marbs and Evan from their iconic late-night sets that have become an essential part of the event’s trajectory and avant-garde appeal. DH Black will keep course with the vibe that these performances have crafted, merging the connectivity of the brand’s core ethos with the melodic and psychedelic sounds of tomorrow. 

In Marbs’s own words on the launch of the label, “The primary intention of Desert Hearts Black is to open up more opportunities for the community to experience and participate in the late night and early morning music heard at the festival over the years. Currently, Desert Hearts Records has represented our house community to the fullest and we want to provide that same outlet for those in our family who enjoy heavier, darker, more journey driven sounds.  
   
Someone special to me once said, ‘We can easily find our way in the light, but in the darkness is where we can truly discover who we are.’ Those moments of self discovery, especially within music, have shaped who we are and how we see the world around us. This project is aimed at creating immersive experiences, of both sound and setting, to take people deeper and reach into the far corners of the genres we love so much.”

The new label will be minted by a collaborative three-track release from Marbs, Rinzen, and Evan Casey, ‘Torus’ EP, due out August 9. In celebration of the release, the trio of cosmonaut producers have released a stream of its title track, an ethereal and haunting journey into their shared cryptic psyche. Marbs and Evan have been joined by Rinzen on the debut release, a producer who has seen a momentous trajectory through his narrative based concept EPs on mau5trap and releases via key European labels like Berlin’s Steyoyoke and London’s Chapter 24 Records. 

Desert Hearts Black will host a release party for the EP on August 9 in Downtown Los Angeles’ warehouse district - a fitting locale for the dark trip in store. The event will feature label residents and special guests throughout the evening to be announced. More info here: https://deserthearts.us/black

It is with the abundant tools of space and abstraction that Desert Hearts Black aims to project the endless internal journey of the mind onto all of those willing to dig deeper. Strap in.
