Review: Legendary label and compilers Cafe Del Mar deliver Terrace Decade Mix! With a contemporary cast of artists keeping the label in the limelight, the sound and feeling of this compilation still very much harks back to the original sentiments of those legendary mixes from back in the day. Headlining numbers include Fritz Kalkbrenner & Thalstroem's (aka Kollektiv Turmstrasse) piano dub to Till Von Sein's "Blueprint" fitting sweetly with the oil drum memories of Mop Mop's "Kamakumba (Simbad dub)". Keeping with the pianos still is Volen Sentir's retouch to About : River alongside some cultural touches of afrocentric styles by wildcard artist Aunti Flo in his remix to Bosq's "Tumbala". '90s Trance plays a huge and effervescent role in Budakid's "The End" next to the spiraling Krautrock and Italo sentiments of Frankey & Sandrino's "Acamar" and other basslines dubs from Mollono.Bass's .Feeling Good". Take it to the terrace - feel good.
Review: Just like the summer rain soon turns into a vibrant rainbow, the tracks on the new album by Ronny Mollenhauer aka Mollono.Bass give expression to the three primary colors of his soul. With vocals by I Am Halo and Kuoko, plus instrumentation provided by jPattersson, Marc Vogler and other musicians, you will definitely hear the frequencies of friendship on 'Woods, Tales & Friends' - a collection of tracks by the 3000 Grad boss and his friends over the last few years. All are testament to his versatile musical talent, such as the glassy-eyed and pop-inflected vocal deep house of "No Silence", or on the ominous journey into the exotic that is "Wild River" as well as the hypnotic dancefloor drama of "The Glade" to name but a few.
Review: 3000 Grad stands for an organic style of modern electronic music, and their label is one of the many projects of the 3000Grad artist collective from Mecklenburg - in the scenic north of Germany. What began as an underground party operation in 1997 has developed into 3000Grad Records (plus its sister label Acker Records), a booking agency, the annual 3000Grad Festival, as well as various indoor events. And that's what you'll hear on this compilation: one big journey as a series of shimmering bits and pieces. The rhythms and melodies of One World - One Future reflect what made their hearts flutter during these past months: 14 tracks that breathe life into your dancing feet as a DJ mix, and that send fantasies soaring to unknown heights as single tunes. Includes recent hits from the label such as Five P's "Atlantis", Kyrill & Redford's "Mondeou" and Renga Weh's "Rumor" (Green Lake Project remix).

Review: Zigan Aldi's music is never less than hazily exotic. His debut EP, 2015's India, added a mystical twist to the European tech-house blueprint. He's at it again here, delivering a humid and intoxicating collection of tracks on Acker. There's much to admire throughout. Check, for example, the oriental instrumentation, shuffling grooves and ghostly vocal snippets of opener "Blue Hill (feat Sandeck)", the drowsily sun-kissed breakdowns, market bazaar samples and chunky beats of "Rosamartha", and the low-slung bass, clipped guitars and melancholic synthesizer motifs of "Blue Hill (Pophop Mix)". Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the release, besides the high-quality threshold, is Aldi's obvious attention to detail.
