HMWL Premiere: King Ben – Un Verre De Rosé

Zurich’s King Ben brings some smooth and sophisticated house sounds to two new tracks on Kindisch.

At one time, Ben was Switzerland’s youngest DJ having secured a gig at the legendary Sputnik Radio aged just 13. From there he has developed his own signature deep house sound, rich in melody and with plenty of fresh grooves. He has promoted numerous parties back home and held residencies in places like Silo and Zoo Club. He has landed on the likes of WAYU, Bar 25 and this label before now and makes a welcome return to kick off his 2022.

Up first is the stylish ‘Un Verre De Rosé,’ an eight-minute symphony of cuddly synth work and wispy chords. Wordless vocal coos deepen the mood and daubs of melodic colour rise and fall like lava in a lamp. Add in the soft and seductive grooves and you have a brilliantly hypnotic track.

‘Autumn Leaves’ is just as exquisitely designed but with a more brooding mood. The drums stand taller, with rubbery synth sequences rising up and down the mix next to melancholic pads. There are deft details all around, from the subtle vocal wails to the woodblock hits via the warming sub-bass.

‘Un Verre De Rosé’ proves Ben is a master of escapist house music for quiet hours and cosy dance floors.

333 Sessions 047 – Luke Alessi

“I took this lengthy mix as an opportunity to delve into the depths of my USB and play some music that I normally would never get the opportunity to play.

My intention behind the mix was to portray in 3 hours & 33 mins the ideal 24 hour set that I’d like to hear at a festival.

From an early sunrise meditation soundtrack, to weird and wonky earthy grooves flowing into some uplifting day time house, cruising later into deeper more sinister electronic cuts through the night, then back into some euphoric sunrise classics, finally laying you back down gently with the wise words of Ram Dass accompanied by an extended Jon Hopkins edit.

Hope you enjoy ✌🏼😌”

HMWL Premiere: Mollono.Bass – Furaha Ya Kucheza (Monkey Safari Remix)

The bittersweet essence of melancholia which Gorge extracts from The Story of the Sad Clown floods our dancing bodies with an organic intensity that is as compelling as the embryonic warmth of some carefully locked-away painkiller. Monkey Safari engage with the sounds and samples of Furaha Ya Kucheza in a playful and slightly inebriated mood, using euphoric rhythms and a full-bodied bassline to transform them into the counterpart of that first day in spring when just a t-shirt is enough, Timo Maas strips down Flamingobuletten to those elements that make Techno so good and right. As a result, the scene veteran serves us a hard, intoxicating, excessive and sweaty dancefloor delight with subtle notes of trippy hum.

#122: Frida Darko – Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Augen auf für alle Tagträumer: Durchblick trotz Durch-Blick an diesem schönen Montag. @Frida-Darko räumt auf und ab für das richtige Momentum trotz Wochenstart. Gemeinsam kommt sich’s eben besser in die Gänge.
