Alessandro Diga - Betelgeuze

Sunday's Chillout #011





You could't guess that Alessandro Diga is coming from Holland. At least, not from his artist name. He actually has a really Dutch name in real life. But you recognize the Dutch tracktitles from his releases. 
Most of his tracks are a combination of deep house en techno, but this track 'Betelgeuze' is a fine piece of electronica that a really really like.

Rival Consoles - Voyager

Sunday's Chillout #009





Like many electronic artists, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles spent his early years experimenting with IDM, glitch and dance, but one consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic, humanised sound. Through these experimentations he has found a process of producing electronic music that feels close to this urge. Restricting himself to a small selection of analogue equipment, West engages his hands directly with instruments and is very selective about what he then records into the computer. He reduces musical parts even further, leaving enough space around the sound for it to breath.

Zusammenklang - Tagtraum

Sunday's Chillout #008





Zusammenklang of Bremen is more than a stage name - it is a project , a claim , a feeling. Throughout his career, he made it his mission to find the perfect balance between scale and energetic sounds, and to create pieces that can be described equally powerful as calm and collected as well.

Weval - Rooftop Paradise

Sunday's Chillout #007





Weval is a collaboration between two pals from the Netherlands - Harm Coolen (1986) and Merijn Scholte Albers (1989). Both Harm and Merijn have roots in the filming industry, which is also where they met in 2010. When they found out they were sharing the same love and ambition for creating electronic music they decided to team up as a producers duo. Merijns background is more triphop and rock orientated, Harm is influenced by jazz and house music. Because of their different backgrounds they blend the best of these genres together in their combined work.

The track Rooftop Paradise is from their debut 'Half Age Ep'

Karl M & Van Did - Teslah (Atmo Mix)

Sunday's Chillout #006





Visionary Mind Records releases the result of first meeting between the inspired producers Karl M & Van Did. The celebration of the detailed net of connections in the sensible world is one of the keys to transform sadness into happiness.

"Life is a rhythm that must be comprehended. Everything that lives is related to a deep and wonderful relationship: man and the stars, amoebas and the sun, the heart and the circulation of an infinite number of worlds. These ties are unbreakable." Nikola Tesla

Baikal - Why Don't Ya? (Ripperton Remix)

Sunday's Chillout #005





Bai Kayul aka Baikal is a Berlin based deep house producer. Baikal makes multi layered electronic music for the heart, mind and feet. Preferably all at the same time. This absolute fabulous remix is made by Raphaël Ripperton, very very long and very deep. It's a stunning journey for 14 minutes...

Darkside - Paper Trails

Sunday's Chillout #004





Last month Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington released Psychic, their debut album as Darkside. "Darkside is utterly sincere," said Tony Naylor in his RA review, "and at its most fractured and psychedelic, Harrington's guitar lends a smoky, mysterious dimension to Jaar's slinky electronica." "Paper Trails" is the record's dazzling midpoint, and perfect for the lazy sunday.

Ryan Davis - Collider

Sunday's Chillout #003




Collider is the last track of the 'State Of Mind Ep' and is referring to thoughts that collide against each other. The change while finding out new possibilities and ways can sometimes be hard, irritating and cause confusion with own, older values. After people found informations they didnt knew before, they bump into people with out-dated informations which can cause conflicts as well. Thirdly, the conflict of what is right or wrong is playing a big role in our minds and causes a lot of trouble while deciding. As many different pieces of the puzzle we have to take care of, the solution will hopefully be a balance of all which is lead by the truth, responsibility and love.

This blance after the collision of the thought is mirrored in the Track collider which is with his breaky but very harmonic vibes, the soft changes and a tender melody, the perfect track to let thoughts collide and find the solution.

Four Tet - Parallel Jalebi

Sunday's Chillout #002




One of the best tracks of Four Tet's new album 'Beautiful Rewind'. Kieran Hebden delivered an awesome album once again and never disappoints. 

Nils Frahm - Peter (Max Cooper Remix)

Sunday's Chillout #001





Frahm's beautiful, clever piano melodies are a perfect match for Cooper's emotional, distinctive breed of production, blurring lines between the recital hall and the dance floor.

Max's own words:
'Nils Frahm is one of the best artists out there in my opinion, with pretty much the best live show I've ever seen. But aside from all that, this was just a really enjoyable remix to work on because the original is such a great piece of music, and seemingly so well suited to what I wanted to do with it - which was to try and turn Nils' instrumental jam on his Juno, into something house/techno/club/44 compatible, but still carrying the class and feeling of the original. It was one of those remixes that just seemed to fit and flow easily, with minimum strain and maximum enjoyment on my part - usually a good sign for a remix (the one's that have to be forced never seem to quite get there).'
