Yes, it's been a while, but sometimes things just take time.
I had the wonderful honour of closing the Ambiente Floor at the last Nachti 23 and had brought along my most beautiful, moving songs for 4 hours. Unfortunately, the recording device probably didn't like that and it swallowed 1.5 hours. Well, here are the first 2.5 hours. I listened to it again the other day and had tears in my eyes, I would say this mix is a little emotional bomb.  Headphones on, sound system on, enjoy and cry (with joy!).

Nachti 23, Ambiente Closing

art:cast °171 | David Böning

In his latest contribution to Torture the Artist's art:cast-series, Frankfurt’s David Böning delivers a masterclass in peak-time House music. Known for his deep knowledge and eclectic taste, David skillfully navigates through a diverse soundscape, starting with moody and introspective Deep House grooves. As the mix progresses, he seamlessly transitions into the infectious rhythms of Hip House and the raw energy of Garage House, creating a journey that’s as compelling as it is danceable.

David doesn’t just stop at delivering the latest beats; he takes listeners on a nostalgic ride through early House productions, infusing the mix with tracks that have a dusty, vintage allure. These selections evoke the underground spirit of the genre, bringing a sense of history and soul to the set. As the tempo rises, David introduces a punchy New York Hard House style, injecting an extra dose of adrenaline before winding down with some beloved classics that never fail to resonate.

His art:cast, the number 171 in the series, not only showcases David’s versatility as a DJ but also builds anticipation for his forthcoming EP, "Down To Join," which is set to drop on the Rawax sub-label, Chiwax. The mix serves as a perfect teaser, reflecting the EP's blend of timeless House elements with modern flair. Whether you’re a seasoned house head or a new listener, this mix is a journey through the layers of house music, from its roots to its current iterations, all crafted with David Böning’s signature touch.

*New Digital EP* Insignia

Thomas + James are a DJ & production duo from Glasgow’s West End. Growing up surrounded by electronic music, they began experimenting with production apps at just 10 years young and mixing on decks by 13. Clubbing in Glasgow has nurtured, shaped and matured their sound, with the backdrop of world renowned clubs like Sub Club, The Berkeley Suite and La Cheetah where they have flourished over a year long residency.

Following an introduction by a well known native, it was obvious the duo's sound was highly aligned with Verdant Recordings, fusing deep house, dub techno and minimal grooves. For  a teenage duo, their sound is refined, seasoned and well informed.

Insignia EP drifts between hazy dub techno textures and stripped-back deep minimal house with a 'wee hours' dance floor focus. Patiently arranged tracks swell with warm low-ends, atmospheric pads and precision tuned percussion. Ulf & Ralf revise the title track in their unique and unpredictable fashion for a gentler comedown.

A beautiful journey begins with the sadness and nostalgia of those who gave life, but also with the innocence and the optimism of the ones who will grow and fight to give life.
