like all dj koze records, knock knock exists outside of trend and influence. in fact, it s a step further beyond: absolutely every single thing here, from grooves to voices to handclaps, is otherworldly and unique. which is not to say it is utterly alien abstraction, mind. there is still disco, there is still soul, there is still techno, there is still hip hop, there is still psychedelia Ð there are even wafts of easy listening, lost crackly thriftstore record memories and... sort of... indie rock Ð but though it may sound familiar, it never does what your brain thinks it s going to do.

for over a decade, defected miami mix albums have brought together the best new underground house music, championing upcoming talent and highlighting material from established artists. defected miami 2018 continues the tradition of forecasting the records that will soundtrack the miami winter music conference and go on to remain playlist fixtures for tastemaker djs throughout the summer. diving right in with the sunshine-ready beats, riton & kah-lo fake i.d., the collaborators follow-up to their grammy nominated rinse & repeat, sets the tone for the opening quarter, maintaining the high energy through to first lady sam divines joint effort with cassimm, what god has chosen. it wouldnt be a miami album without some soaring vocals, delivered by kandace springs on the latest kings of tomorrow anthem ÔfadedÕ (sandy rivera classic mix) and by the gospel-powered dames brown on sophie lloyds calling out. more direct club-focussed highlights include rapson featuring nathan thomas heat (scott diaz remix) and claptone featuring ben duffy in the night, taken from the berlin hit makers forthcoming album fantast. mella dees future hit techno disco tool provides jumping tech with a cheeky disco nod while the glorious new york-styled the people by eli escobar off his acclaimed album shout ensures that the album takes a trip through the full house spectrum. spread across two expertly constructed mixes, defected miami 2018 is an essential collection that brings the florida vibes to wherever you may be.

just as magnified record grooves reveal dust constellations and lunar landscapes, so too does godblesscomputers third album. solchi is a deep search into previous moments in lorenzo nadas lifetime, influenced by the presence and power of music. his process began with the recovery of some old cassettes, mixtapes nearly forgotten, audio recording of voices from his childhood, and lots of dusty jazz, soul, and hip-hop records. as the starting point of this travel merge with its end, past and present combine to form gbcs current sound. warm electronic production rooted by grooving bass lines form the core of a kaleidoscope of sixteen tracks, colored by synthesizers, guitar echoes, scratches, samples, fading voices and kalimba. the album is a collection of sixteen stories, sixteen soundscapes, each of them gbcs tribute to the path taken thus far, an homage to his love for music. the recording and studio work took place over a year, with the adding and subtracting of many elements.

without new jersey native kerri kaoz chandler, house specifically deep house would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerriÕs dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. heÕs meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerris. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration

say what you wanna say, but you have to give strahil velchev this: the manÕs a powerhouse. recording and playing live under the kink alias, he went on to become one of finest purveyorÕs of funk in techno and house. what it is, by definition, ainÕt exactly clear. and that is the beauty of it. kinkÕs music is unifying in the best possible way. channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didnÕt really matter who the faces behind the music were, kink plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. at the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the pope himself is infallible. the pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience - rather than carbon copies of existing designs - was what started kinkÕs production work. hailing from bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. wanting to dj without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. so, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond. from kinkÕs early productions with neville watson to his smash-hit for ovum, a cerebral album for macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, playground seems to take all that into a blender. simultaneously a sound-summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of kink dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions

there is a long-standing love affair between dj harvey and pikes, ibiza. as well as coming back for his third consecutive Ômercury risingÕ residency, the legendary ÔdjsÕ dj has been appointed Ôcultural attach�Õ for pikes, meaning his magic touch and feel-good presence will create even more special moments at pikes this summer, including the launch of new label, pikes records.
in 2015 dj harvey made his hugely anticipated return to ibiza and made pikes his home for his mercury rising debut, a concept inspired by the beauty of the real ibiza, the incredible history of pikes and a genuine love for music. the love, the dancing, the music and the balearic spirit perfectly and poetically encapsulated by dj harvey has seen mercury rising widely recognised as the most special night to embrace the island in over a decade.
the next step in the harvey and pikes story sees him launch pikes records Ð the first record label founded by pikes owners and ibiza rocks co-founders andy mckay and dawn hindle. on the label, harvey explains: i see so many avenues to work together to release music, everything from live recordings from ibiza rocks and pikes, mix tapes, original productions, showcasing new artists, theres all sorts of avenues to open up. with the finer details still under wraps, its safe to say fans can look forward to the first release being harveys very own mercury rising compilation. but what can we expect from the third instalment of mercury rising? putting it quite simply, just a serious good time really says harvey.

the album is a collection of wonderful, emotional and very personal songs. written and performed by peter wangel, the lyrics are inspired by multi award winning, temporary norwegian writer karl ove knausgard and deal with very personal subjects from his own life. Òthe previous releases were about the ÒlonelyÓ feelings, the feelings that only existed in me, the feelings i wanted to set free for a long time. the new album is about my life as it is right now, about all the thoughts, expectations, worries and the happiness that comes with a new life as a family. this is a very personal album, but i also hope to express something very ordinary and something that most people can relate to.- also musically the album is a big step forward for wangel, the melodies are still subtle, but offer more nuances and colors.

spearhead records label boss steve bcee returns with his 4th studio album, and itÕs safe to say that itÕs his best one yet. not just a solo affair, bcee has also drafted in some of the finest vocal and production talent around. with features from two time best d&b vocalist winner riya and d&b legend logistics being just the start. northpoint is bcee at his most diverse. from the early 90s hardocre influenced keep moving on to the jungle roots of hollow eyes this is an album that really showcases how broad the d&b spectrum can be while still keeping to the spearhead ethos of being uplifting musical d&b packed full of heart & soul. bcee said i wanted to make an album packed full of d&b that would work in a club just as well as it would in the car. no fillers, no showcasing how i can produce house or hip-hop or whatever, just pure no nonsense drum & bass. with bceeÕs spearhead presents brand regularly selling out shows at clubs like the legendary egg in kings cross & shoreditchs village underground, plus his growing dj & production schedule and the vanguard project his alias as a duo with fellow d&b produced villem, itÕs safe to say that even though bcee has been in the game for 16 years, heÕs only just getting started. support from friction, mistajam, metrik, technimatic, s.p.y, nu:tone, logistics, london elektricity and a whole load more

langeweile. faulheit. totale teilnahmslosigkeit. ist es nun schon eine so genannte quarter life crisis oder einfach nur eine ausrede, um blo§ nie erwachsen werden zu m�ssen? fragen wie diese, sind die eckpunkte jener welt, in die washed out mit seinem ambitionierten neuen visual-album mister mellow aufbricht. f�r viele, viele vertreter der generation y ist das leben derma§en dramatisch und problematisch, dass es mithin schon absurde z�ge annimmt. und die methoden, mit denen sie sich von den ganzen unsicherheiten und unw�gbarkeiten abzulenken versuchen, die zu ihrem alltag geh�ren, sind dabei nicht weniger absurd - da ist alles von social media bis hin zu fantasywelten dabei, von drogenexzessen bis zu musik-eskapismus. mister mellow, das erste komplett als multimedia-werk angelegte album von washed out, f�hrt durch all die h�hen und tiefen dieser oftmals l�cherlichen alltagsk�mpfe und beleuchtet dabei augenzwinkernd auch das gro§e paradox, dem man immer wieder begegnet: wie kann es sein, dass wir derma§en unzufrieden und gelangweilt sind, wo wir doch eigentlich alle erdenklichen privilegien genie§en und somit mehr als zufrieden sein k�nnten? auf -mister mellow- dominieren eher experimentelle collage-techniken � la musique concr�te. free jazz, house, hip-hop und psychedelic haben allesamt ihren platz in dieser welt, in der auch interlude-artige voiceover-samples aufblitzen, woraus sich insgesamt ein hektisch-chaotischer und karikaturistischer mix ergibt, in dem sich die reiz�berflutete psyche dieser generation widerspiegelt.

over the course of the past ten years, stil vor talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. the dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. a bond between each other between the artist and the dancer between ourselves and the music. on 10 years stil vor talent we celebrate this bond and say thank you.
