Midnight Community #39 w/ Joep Mencke - 26.03.21

Its been more than six months since I’ve had the last chance to play some music in front of a crowd. I tried to put all of my hope, my love & dedication as well as my anger into this DJ mix. This journey reflects what I would be playing in the morning hours at a club such as KaterBlau and some melancholic-melodic moments to just make you fly away. I tried to create a mixture of old classics and new tracks - and even three of my upcoming releases. I really hope you resonate with it as much I did. - Love, Milo (@miloh-fliger)

🌔 BIO 🌖
LineØrCircle has been behind the decks since he was barely toilet-trained, when he rifled through his parents’ vast and eclectic record collection and started experimenting with the controls on their old walnut-veneered record player. He grew up in a profoundly musical household, his parents being professional musicians who put him into classical piano and jazz guitar lessons from the moment he had enough motor control in his hands to hold a guitar pick.

He is nonetheless a completely self-taught DJ, buying all the necessary gear with money saved up from a part-time job as a dishwasher and learning by bringing a new piece of musical technology home, plugging it in, and pushing all the buttons until something happened. The first record he bought was a now-out-of-print EP of Anouar Brahem, Les pats du chat noir which includes “Leila au pays du carrousel”.

He began playing in local bars and clubs in his hometown of Beirut, getting his first break when the DJ called in sick at a local pub where he washed dishes. He soon blew up in Beirut and began playing in Decks On the Beach. He has since enjoyed immense success, blowing up dance floors across the globe (OK, OK, mostly around Venues in Beirut) to sold-out crowds. He has shared the decks with the likes of Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, Kiasmos, Gorje Hewek & Izhevski to name a few.

He is also a prolific and respected producer, having released two albums and 10 EPs since he got up this morning. His most recent mega-hit track has been charted by every single fucking DJ listed on Resident Advisor and Discogs combined, with support from all the leading DJs signed to any label that ever mattered—plus his grandma.

LineOrCircle musical genres reflects his eclectic influences—from high-modernist integral serialism to jazz-funk fusion to Armenian epic poetry to oriental—all distilled down to pure, crystalline minimal techno. He’s not limited to minimal techno, instead combining disco, slow house, Ketapop, electronic and deep house to create a new sound that the entire staff of Pitchfork has been trying to name for the last year (the senior what-is-this-electronica-crap editor suggested “jigglestep” and then resigned in shame).

Recently, this guy has been collaborating with artists and producers to create “Living Room Sessions” - Beirut. A concept where the crowd can get intimate with the producers, inviting artists to play live and not mix on decks. He has been all over Europe and the MENA Region searching for new talents to boost this concept. LineOrCircle is now a sound explorer, a frequency designer and noise maker...

FIRST UPCOMING SHOW:

Amsterdam Dance Event:
www.facebook.com/events/1852253845101977/

For many years we travelled to this magical thing called Burning Man. Looking back to our first year out there, we never realised that this event, simply "a festival" to the outside world, would change us forever. 

The community ethos that you find at Burning Man is best understood by its Ten Principles. And once we left the playa for the first time we would long for radical inclusion, communal effort or the fact that people would leave no trace wherever we'd go. 

Our Gardens journey is born in Amsterdam and raised on the playa. Forever grateful are we to what we have learned and experienced while being out there. This year we finally knew what we would like to give to the playa.

Together with our family we created a Monday Landing Ceremony at Camp Bang Bang. And like our other events we started this day with a powerful meditation.
We created this meditation to allow people to arrive at the event. To take a moment to get to know the people and the energy around us. To disconnect from the outside world and enter this magical world we call home. It was a beautiful moment for anybody on the playa to set intentions for the week and take time to realise where we and who we are.

There is no Gardens without the incredible sounds from our favourite artists. Before you the M I N D B L O W I N G set by P & Christian Voldstad. We worked with both artists separately and never experienced their incredible connection in real person. 

Take a trip down memory lane and wander of to the dusty field of Burning Man. The man burns in 352 days, but who's counting?

Lot's of love,

The Gardens of Babylon family

A cup of tea soothes a troubled mind, scientists say. And today’s special brew brought to you by Death on the Balcony is the proof! Such an exceptionally smooth experience. To be enjoyed with milk and two sugars!

For some time now the combined forces of Mark Caramelli & Paul Hargreaves have been causing quite a stir under their guise, Death on the Balcony. The duos style fuses a range of influences from Disco through to House & Deep Techno depending on the time, space and environment. Years of dedicated musical passion and an appreciation of numerous genres have lead to their sound receiving popularity across the board...

Death on the Balcony’s release schedule is continually active with them releasing & remixing internationally with the likes of All Day I Dream, Kindisch, Anjunadeep, Do Not Sit, Akbal Music & many more.

Whether it’s disco inflected fuel or emotive house & techno rhythms, these eclectically deft producers will juxtapose anything they lay their hands upon, mixing the beat of the drum with the melodic buzz of a hazy brain!

As one of the UK’s more versatile acts Death on the Balcony will be delivering more productions, remixes and playing gigs worldwide as part of the All Day I Dream family and beyond. 

As their range of musicality continues to evolve they consistently deliver a unique, well-timed narrative of the best sounds around. So did they with their exclusive mix for Schirmchendrink. And Mark and Paul even did overtime and delivered a sensational 3 hour journey – Christmas definitely came early this year!

Thanks for this comforting cup of tea, it warmed our body and soul!


Cheers!

Music for Balearic People

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” Khalil Gibran

The Mojito, the refreshing and minty national cocktail of Cuba, mentally transports us to a tropical location no matter where we’re sipping it. Oscar Mederos’ interpretation of is not just the preferred option for quenching our thirst after a long night on the dance floor or toasting during a summer vacation’s night out, it is also another example of the outstanding story telling skills of the Miami based DJ.

Originally from Cuba, Oscar has now been residing in Miami for the past five years. He fell in love with electronic music after attending many of the Miami underground parties and developed an exceptional taste and competence in electronic music. 

Involved with the Miami based label Magician on Duty, Oscar further developed his passion for electronic music and was part of the label’s rise to an essential source for deep and dreamy electronic music. 

Oscar is a welcome guest behind the decks at Behrouz’ Do Not Sit On The Furniture club in Miami, where he shared the stage with artists like Midas 104, Sainte Vie, Lake People, Mira & Chris, Arutani and many more. 

As the driving force behind the so-called All Day I Dream Appreciation Page, a popular group on Facebook, Oscar and thousands of ADID enthusiasts share new music, track IDs and news related to the beloved label.

But, most of all, Oscar is a tremendous story teller with a faible for emotional music across any of the electronic music genres. We couldn’t be happier to serve his Mojito today. 

Thanks for this masterpiece, Oscar!
