DJ-Set: Klinke Auf Cinch — From Halle With Love #45

What they say:

“Unweit von Halle, in greifbarer Nähe, liegt Jena. Die Thüringer Großstadt gilt seit jeher als die Brutstätte guter Musik, zu deren Exportschlagern ohne Zweifel die Combo KLINKE AUF CINCH mit Paula, Clemens und Lutz zählt. Das Electronica-Projekt macht Anfang 2016 mit seinem Release FOUR, erschienen auf dem äußerst sympathischen Label ANALOGSOUL, erneut auf sich aufmerksam und liefert zu den 4 Originaltracks als Paukenschlag ganze 16 Remixe von Künstlern wie Jacob Korn, Marbert Rocel, Ranko und dem Hallenser Prismic. Wenn das Kollektiv mit der Sängerin Paula tourt, erlebt man Liveelectronica als einzigartiges Klangerlebnis – dabei sind Clemens und Lutz auch als DJ-Team unterwegs und überzeugen hier ebenso durch deepe Harmoniearrangements und klackernden Rhythmusfundamente. Auch an Halle kommt KLINKE AUF CINCH nicht vorbei und nach dem ein oder anderen Besuch in der Saalestadt, ist es eine Wonne, den Mitschnitt von ihrem Gig am “Strand22″ in Jena exklusiv als unsere Podcastnummer 45 präsentieren zu dürfen.”

Michael Mayer – ‘&’
Out 28th October 2016 on !K7

Michael Mayer is the true definition of a taste-maker. His work as a producer, a DJ, and a curator via his label Kompakt, speaks for itself. Mayer’s recording career spans four albums, 23 EP’s, nearly 170 remixes and the legendary DJ mixes for fabric and Immer. ‘&’ is his third full-length, a passionate and personal album that speaks as broadly as his DJ sets – embracing his genre-busting love for music, rhythm and atmosphere – and the dancefloor in front of him.

‘&’ – the title says it all; Michael Mayer collaborated for every track on the album. The list of contributors is quite impressive, including Roman Flügel, Prins Thomas, Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, Ed Macfarlane of Friendly Fires among many others. Mayer is adamant that the collaborations came about because of a shared musical vision and personal connection rather an effort to stack the lineup. ““All of those involved are good friends of mine and not random choices selected from someTop 100 list,” he says. “These people mean a lot to me – and by that the music we produced together is heart driven and emotionally powered.”

An album highlight is ‘Und Da Stehen Fremde Menschen’, built around a vocal sample from a long lost East German band Stern Meissen. “I bought the record because I thought the cover was interesting. Then I heard this one line that fit perfectly to this idea of mine,” says Mayer. “Barnt was the only candidate to make this idea come to life. The trick was to bridge something that sounds sincere and deep with a delicate balance of craziness”. The outcome breathes a groovy spookiness, likened to the Giallo works of Dario Argento, where the borders between reality and fiction are not clear.

Larse – On Canvas Pt. 2 EP

Larse
Larse “On Canvas Pt. 2” EP

Dortmund producer Larse is back on SUOL with part two of “On Canvas“, quickly following up on part one, which was released in May, receiving rave reviews by media tastemakers such as Magnetic Magazine and When We Dip and DJ support by the likes of Claptone, Huxley, Kölsch, Adana Twins and Tensnake, to only name a few.

Once again bridging the gap between eclectic, soulful grooves and dance floor compatibility, Larse offers up four new cuts in his trademark style, which had already earned him releases on such iconic labels as DFA, Defected, Eskimo and Noir before he joined the SUOL family.

“On Canvas Pt. 2” begins with the appropriately titled “Beat Goes On”. The track builds on a shuffling drum machine beat and triggered sub bass, adding smooth organ stabs and a catchy little synth melody, working towards a crescendo of violins on top of soaring pads before the groove takes you home.

“In And Out” lays it down with a touch of disco fused with 80s style analogue synths and a massive sub for a good three minutes to form the foundation for a piece of classic song writing and an inspired performance by guest vocalist HRRSN of Tender Games fame.

Track three is “Taboche”, named after a 6000 metre mountain in the Himalayas – watching a late night documentary after finishing the track was a source of inspiration here. Organic percussion and crisply recorded hand claps take the lead here rhythmically, supported by a machine kick and Moog bass. With this solid groove keeping the dancers safely in place, their heads are free to float up to the mountaintop, carried aloft by dreamy flutes and guitar melodies, plenty of reverb and swirling delay feedback.
The EP is rounded off with an instrumental version of “In And Out”.
