DAVI - Two Suns In The Sky (Original Mix)

The music of Abdallah Oumbadougou honors the beauty of the desert and aims to unite the divided population of his region. The Tuareg singer and guitarist, who was born in Niger, dedicated his career to singing about the struggles of his people and wrote songs inspired by the events of his persecuted and exiled community.

Abdallah Oumbadougou’s poetic and revolutionary lyrics address the troubling issues facing the Tuareg and other nomads of the Sahara, of which he offered a lucid and concerned insight.

During his trips through North- and West-Africa Joep Mencke fell in love with the sounds of West-African music, and in particular with the sound of Abdallah Oumbadougou. Even without being able to understand the words Abdallah is singing, he could deeply feel his music. 

After Oumbadougou’s passing in 2020, Joep Mencke decided to pay tribute to this incredible musician and his culture by creating his own version of “Talla Talline Manine”. The remix aims to continue Oumbadougou’s legacy of bringing people together through music and present his story to a new audience.

Let Talla Talline Manine take you on a harmonious journey to the desert of Niger. 

A track that is made for the dancefloor, but stays true to the desert sound.

“Emerging from the darkness, we found the light, a conscious and spiritual movement of esoteric knowledge and techno music.” The Berlin-based label Occultists proudly presents its first release, the Dead Man Rising EP by Filipino-Swiss-German producer Dugong, who brings us her spiritual exploration of the human experience. The extended digital release includes tracks by Dugong with several collaborations with Xenoscapes, Sweet Anomaly and Likeatree and remixes by Öona Dahl, Alicia Hush and Mrs. Jekyll, a known techno producer, whose identity will remain unrevealed: since the word ‘occultism’ is translated as hidden knowledge, Mrs. Jekyll’s real name will never reach the light of day. The vinyl release also includes a powerful vinyl-only remix by Jamaica Suk.

As the EP’s name and the symbolic artwork may suggest, Dead Man Rising is about understanding the seemingly final or negative events in life from an enlightened angle and perceiving them as something positive with a new hope or a possibility to grow. Death makes a way for life, challenges can be turned into blessings and edifying experiences, and without darkness, there would be no light to be shed into every corner. Dugong’s work calls for reconnecting with the self and the spirit and helps to find the ability to heal and save ourselves through the oldest art form which has been bringing people together: music.

On the EP, Dugong’s music pulsates in the techno heartbeat of the spiritual warriors (‘Dead Man Rising’), sways in the downtempo of the warning calls about the danger for the human mind (‘Evil Magician’) and contemplates in the deep dreams of our ancestors who could read the stars (‘What May Come’). Dugong draws inspiration from various music styles and symbols which she boils together like secret ingredients of a reviving potion. The results are catchy, vital and miscellaneous tracks full of high sensibility, layered vocals and tribal beats. The remixes are shrouded in a techno haze and have been conjured to unleash Dugong’s spirit on the dancefloor.

01. Joep Mencke - Asiri (Original Mix)
02. Joep Mencke - Asiri (Nick Warren & Nicolas Rada Remix)

DJs are a nomadic people. Drifting between venues, airports and hotel rooms, they’re always on the hunt for new music and clubbing activity. They are, indeed, the Bohemians of the 21st Century. Or as Britta Arnold, unders and Noraj Cue would call them: Happy Campers.

Joep Mencke, one of the happies campers of them all, and his soul-propelling masterpiece, Asiri, is the perfect piece of music to usher in the Spring. “Music takes me on a journey. A journey that makes me want to close my eyes and wander off to wherever the melodies take me,” Joep has been quoted as saying. And the ‘me’ that wanders when eyes are closed is the essence of ‘me’ that dreams. Some would call that the soul.

Asiri is a soul-scape that celebrates all the complexities of life from a place of joy and gratitude. With soaring melodies, complex arpeggiators and moments of reflective dimuendos, it pays homage to Joep’s journey and appreciation into music. In fact, it pays every journey homage which is likely why it is so universally well received.

From the DJ’s deck, Asiri has consistently brought people together on the dance floor. It’s as if Asiri reminds people to celebrate just being alive with all it’s complex, reflective and soaring moments.

And with anything that soars, it needs the wind to propel it up and out. Asiri’s wind comes in the form of Nick Warren & Nicolas Rada. These living legends of the progressive scene have graced Asiri with their unique touch. They could hear that the music wants to keep reaching for greater heights but found away to keep the sound grounded enough to connect with every listener.

So find a comfortable space, whether it’s alone in nature or surrounded by fellow nomads on the dance floor. Free your mind. Listen to Asiri. Let your soul dream.
