Serendipity is a wonderful thing, and when we looked ahead in the guestmix calendar, a certain number jumped out. 303. A number synonymous with the roots of house music, which presented itself with a (somewhat obvious) opportunity to get an old friend into the series... a man who saw it all unfold before his very eyes in the 90's, and who himself excels with the execution of mixes with an underlying concept. 

Welcome to JD Twitch's ode to the Roland 303.

"The Roland 303 is a little silver box of electronics that accidentally produced the squelching sound that became the foundation of Acid House. Pioneered circa 1987 in Chicago, Acid House exploded around the world and that sound spread through electronic music creating myriad variants.

Fundamentally the 303 is instantly recognisable by its squelch sound. This squelch can be euphoric, hypnotic, joyous, uplifting, sad, dark, cheesy, silly, scary, ridiculous, psychedelic, beautiful and anthemic. This mix aims to showcase many of these shades of the squelch. It is not the greatest hits of the 303, nor is it a collection of wilfully obscure forgotten 303 jams, it's just simply a paean to the majesty and never ending sonic possibilities of the squelch. Viva Acid!"

SlothBoogie Guestmix #303 - JD Twitch

Not fussed about short-lived hypes and instead inspired by both old and new records, Thomas Stieler has since found his signature sound: house in all its facets – classic, deep, minimal, full of drive and sometimes even close to techno.
As a DJ he enthuses the crowd with his fine intuition for tracks that fit the mood and are mixed into each other both elegantly and electrily – the typical Stieler transitions.

His latest exquisite edits on Thomas Melchior's My King Is Light are once again a glimpse of the journey he can take you on.

Gathering from Home Vol.5: Thomas Stieler

In 2003 a concept was born out of heavy influence from minimal techno producers of the time, archives of vinyl fresh for mix-mode sessions, Der Kontraktor started as a moniker for DJing and ran until 2007.  It was the beginning of a style embodied with flavor and a feel for the music that is everlasting.  Those that know the creation from this time and place, know the capabilities of the one who was experimenting with mixing fresh cuts of vinyl wax.  Now 20 years later, it is time to present the resurrection with new sounds and added experience!
