DJ Olive – Let Us Live Mix

Lukas — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:03:23 +0000

This featured mix from percussionlab has the genre description: Roots & Acid, boards of africa, roof music, dub. I can only say this is one of the best, more chilled, seamlessly mixed eclectic dub and roots mix i´ve heard in a while (after the Black Family crew from good ol Portugal that is). Its interesting to see Burial, Mala and Kode9 mixed with Fat Freddys Drop and Boards of Canada. The extensive tracklist (after the jump) shows how much music is seamlessly squeezed into this great mixtape! Find out more about DJ Olive on his website.
Here´s the original description for the mix:

“Dub is about space. The space where guitars used to be, the space between beats, the space that echos create. DJ Olive absorbed this maxim in the 90’s, when you were still sucking pacifiers on the dancefloors of abandoned warehouses. He invented the term illbient, only to later claim the term was a joke. He’s one of the few dj’s successfully riding the line between in your face artistic expression and dancefloor palatability. from sound installations at Whitney Biennial, the Venice Biennale, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, to freaking the bins at Dub War over the last few years, he’s both an entertainer and an educator.

This mix is a dub mix from a NYC originator – it’s about space, man. Light one up, lay back, and enjoy.”

Arctic City Mix December 09 by TRG

Lukas — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:31:38 +0000

Back on track. I am back in Berlin and found this indeed artic mix by TRG. I just arrived from a Country where it was 20 degrees warmer then in Berlin at the moment. This mix really goes for the winter vybe..some disharmonic grooves shape up to something good. Not an easy listening experience but i really like it. Way to go TRG.

DJ Moarice – Swing King Mix @Wilde Renate in Berlin

Lukas — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:38:41 +0000

A nice downtempo and swing mix by our friend DJ Moarice from Berlin. After some years djing he´s recently been playing this kind of sound regularly.
So here´s a recent recording from a 2:38 Hr Set played at the Club “Wilde Renate”. This mix has some really funky downtempo tracks in the beginning and goes more swing and old-school towards the end. I really like to listen to some of this stuff for a change. Well done!

Ok Fellas, the summer-session passes by and like every year in Germany, the end of the summer comes too fast. The Picture couldnt say it better – this little wishfully house mix was exactly powered by emotional moments like this. Beware of the Deepness and enjoy.

DJ Koszki – Tubular Mix

Lukas — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:08:58 +0000

It is a long time ago since Koszki last sent me a mix to feature it on the Blog. There are some prog house influences in this one but his style definitely got more technoish, and the result is a very driving nighttime set. Good for a change as we have been featuring more housy stuff and other styles. Very solid mixing as always and some topnotch tunes!

Brendon Moeller aka Beat Pharmacy Dubstep Mix

Lukas — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:58:25 +0000

There´s a lot of dubstep going on in Berlin this weekend. W´ve got the Bass Berlin festival at the Maria Club and the SUBSTANCE Anniversary at Berghain, so i thought it is the right time to post a proper dubstep mix. Maybe as a little warmup…still this one is very deep. Just the way i like it!
Here´s some Input about Brendon Moeller aka Beat Pharmacy:

“New York based South African, Brendon Moeller has been producing music since 1994. His compositions have been released on Francois K’s Deep Space Media; Third ear Records, Echocord, Mule Musiq, Leena Music, Eskimo recordings and then some. He records as Brendon Moeller, Beat Pharmacy and Echologist. Dub, techno, jazz, afrobeat and psychedelics are inspirations that appear in most of his music. Whether it be serious dancefloor bizniz, or dubbed out bass-scapes, his music always possesses a quality and signature that make him the force he is today.”

So here it is..an nice selection of funky danceable chill tracks, featuring Artists like Tosca, Bonobo, Quantic, Gelka, Mr.Scruff and Sola Rosa from New Zealand.
Some old, some new…but good music all the way.
