♫ Read More ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/the-social-festival-podcast-sailor/ For his upcoming performance at Social Festival - Sailor & I provides an exclusive podcast of sorts to showcase his eclectic style across the electronica spectrum. Based in Stockholm, Alexander Sjodin aka Sailor & I has moved full speed ahead ever since his breakthrough single "Tough Love". Three years since the low-key SoundCloud leak, Sjodin landed a spot on labels such as Life and Death and Black Butter Records. He's a producer originating from a hefty background of jazz, rock, classical, and punk - picking up most of his skill via his family's piano or picking up a guitar. In terms of performances, you can catch him playing anywhere from Ibiza to Kent County, London - where he will be taking part in the Social Festival this year. Sailor & I will be performing on the Stables stage, playing alongside acts such as Bicep, George Fitzgerald, Gerd Janson, Mind Against, and more. Other artists featured at the festival are names as big as Laurent Garnier, Ellen Allien, Carl Cox, Solomun, Pan-Pot, Joseph Capriati, Loco Dice, Eats Everything, and many more. In addition to the carefully curated line-up, an acute emphasis will be placed on the local community, with locally sourced food on site and the involvement of local universities and companies. The site is designed to create an intimate boutique feel and there will be funfair rides and market stalls for customers to enjoy.

The original mix is dominated by an obscure pulsating beat and brass combo, culminating into a dramatic break just in time to breath before the final ride. Andrea Vallisneri and Andrea Casari under their VII Circle moniker turns Morphius into an even darker and more hypnotic atmosphere giving back a deeper perspective of the main hook. Finally Musumeci pushes things towards more progressive and melodic territories adding a hell of an arpeggio he found behind the texture of original version. Morphius will be available August 5th via Engrave LTD.

♫ Read More ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/premiere-off-feat-sven-vath-electrica-salsa-henrik-schwarz-dub/ Oh boi. The impeccable Henrik Schwarz redubbing Sven Väth's classic 'Electrica Salsa' - a truly remarkable feat. The track was first released back in 1986, when Sven (at the age of 21) was a member of Frankfurt project OFF, alongside Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti. ‘Electrica Salsa (Baba Baba)’ changed the face of electronic music in European pop culture, achieving top three success in France, Austria and Germany at a time when dance music was still regarded as an underground movement from Detroit and Chicago. 30 years later, Sven enlisted Henrik Schwarz and Roman Flügel to provide remixes of the track. Best known for his work on Innervisions, !K7, and Defected Records, and acting as one half of the acclaimed duo Schwarzmann alongside Frank Weidemann - Schwarz has dedicated almost his entire life to electronic music production. The atmosphere created in his newly formed Electrica Salsa is one with gated reverberated snares and percussive hits, little melodic stabs, and sneaky space synths to what makes one feel as if they are inside the Mos Eisley cantina... with Sven Väth whispering in your ears. You can check out the original at the link above. Electrica Salsa will be available July 25th via Cocoon.

♫ Download ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/mix-218-andre-hommen/ Running the Objektivity label alongside East-coast house legend Dennis Ferrer, André Hommen provides a diving mix that is of utmost outstanding quality - from start to finish. His passion for music formed through his love of radio, where seminal radio-shows opened the doors to a world of music. House music, with its warmth and its groove, is the sound which became his musical home. André started mixing for himself, but eventually went on performing at underground parties near his home-region. Coming off his newly released Bassari People EP via Objektivity, André has been dividing his time between touring and studio work - with remixes in between. He was strongly supported by artists such as Dixon, Âme, Mano Le Tough, and Solomun, and has remixed Ane Brun, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Tensnake, and more. His 2015 Battery Park EP was one of the most-played records, showcasing the fine-tuned talent he so easily possesses. With a steady stream of releases and tour dates lined up for 2016, André will spend much time away from his native Nettetal, Germany to perform around the world.

♫ Read More ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/movement-croatia-podcast-by-jan-krueger/ In light of his upcoming performance at Movement Croatia, Berlin-based producer and DJ Jan Krueger provides an exclusive mix of deep and minimal house tracks. Acting as one half of the legendary label Hello?Repeat alongside Daze Maxim, Jan Krueger has forged a formidable career ever since meeting Daze in the 90s. They started off with some excursions into deep and minimal house tracks - which were eventually released on Mathias Tanzmann’s Moon Harbour Recordings in 2001. Jan has gone from Dusseldorf, to working with the record store Word & Sound in Hamburg, and then to Berlin (where he has resided in the past 4 years).

♫ Read More ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/mix-217-kenny-glasgow/ With only two weeks on the clock for his 10-track EP release 'Circus Tales', Canadian electronic music pioneer Kenny Glasgow provides a warmly-defined electro-machina mix of sound. After spending the last 5 years as half the acclaimed duo Art Department, Glasgow has returned to his solo roots - functioning as a musical engineer, music composer, lyricist, and vocalist. Glasgow immersed himself into the scene by acting as a promoter, putting on illicit warehouse parties in his native Toronto before progressing to become a resident at the acid house meccas The Buzz and Industry Nightclub. It was here where he picked up his sense of the dance floors, permuting his experiences into his own trademark - emotively tortured sounds with unique gravelly vocals and textured synths. As such, his forthcoming LP 'Circus Tales' will bare these trademarks, as will the upcoming music he'll be releasing under a new label run by himself and Mr White - Social Experiment. Taking it's name from the club nights and mix series No.19 Music had overseen, the label plans to curate only the most compelling focuses in club music.

♫ Read More ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/premiere-silk-86-vs-blamma-blamma-never-think-original-mix/ London-centric beatmakers Silk 86 and Blamma! Blamma! go back to back on a project via Emotive Records - launching off the label's first edition. Composed of Finn Casey and Thomas L, Silk 86 kick off this new joint venture with a limited edition vinyl press. Having cut their teeth over the last decade DJing, promoting and being intoxicated in the metamorphic underground scene of East London, these Londoners remain resolute in disregarding genres in favour of incorporating their eclectic musical backgrounds. Blamma! Blamma! have a history of making deep, disco-fied tracks and remixes with releases on labels including Eskimo, Deleted, Kitsune and The Walls Have Ears. In a neat twist, Finn Casey also comprises one half of Blamma! Blamma! – the other member being London to Brooklyn exile Nick DC (both pictured here), who helps run Emotive Records along with Finn and Tom L. 'Never Think' sets the tone for which the title stands - a steamy, muted club disco cut with subterranean basslines, filtered vocal samples, and a layer of classy percussion which rides over the top - free in style. The record's classic house aesthetics have already received praise from key figures such as the one and only Laurent Garnier, Studio Barnhus's Axel Boman, French electronica chess-master Agoria, and Brooklyn house-scene don Jacques Renault.

♫ Read More ♫: http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/premiere-exercise-one-timetrap-original-mix/ Berlin’s cult techno duo Exercise One release their newest 12” featuring 3 tracks. One track is reminiscent of the past, one track gazes at the future, and a final time defying remix by Locked Groove. Spending their early years absorbed in the goth culture and IDM scene, Exercise One (aka Marco Frievogel and Ingo Gansera) takes a playful approach to techno - one that spans the vibrance of the Kreuzberg DIY punk vibe. Marco and Ingo met in Berlin while they both worked for !K7 and began to play together, experimenting and producing. They've gone on starting up their own label Lan Muzic (with releases from Donato Dozzy, Peter Van Hoesen and Philip Sherburne) and released off other labels such as Mobilee Records, Mater, Dumb Unit, Soniculture and more. ‘Timetrap' was originally a dark horse sitting on Exercise One's back catalog. They decided to go back to the original idea of the track to see where they could take it. After a few sessions in the studio, the staccato groove and eerie hook of the original is now alive within a much more powerful and demanding surrounding. Also featured on the record is '502 last sequence' - a flashing, disintegrated, battery-acid leaking track which perfectly displays their fun-voyeur approach to dark techno. Time Trap EP will be available July 15th via Exone.
