Jeff Mills Is The Man From Tomorrow

CERTIFIED INTERVIEW

"It was 1996 and Jeff Mills had just created a monster. Having already earned his moniker, The Wizard, from his mastery at three mixing decks, Mills produced a track that would arguably change techno forever. Countless DJs have described “The Bells” as not only their inspiration, but as their first touch point with electronic music. It’s a track that defines an understanding that any art form can be truly timeless in its own right."

CERTIFIED RELEASE Zenker Brothers - Immersion This is going to be a mad release on Ilian Tape! A1. Mintro A2. Aisel A3. Phing B1. Innef Runs B2. TSV WB C1. Erbquake C2. High Club C3. Ebbman D1. Cornel 21 D2. Outark "Oil painting by our lovely mum Bettina Zenker. We are very happy to present our first album on Ilian Tape. At the beginning of 2014 we moved our two seperate bedroom studios into one and soon after started working on the album. All the tracks were made in about 6 months in our new Ilian Tape Space Studio in Munich. The time felt right to focus on this adventure, but without any pressure. Therefore the process became very natural and we felt free to go wherever the vibe led us. Our intention was to create a very personal and honest sound without any limitations or guidelines. It's a reflection of all the years we've been growing up, working, traveling and playing together and it means a lot to us. But enough said music is not supposed to be described with words, so sit back, close your eyes, light one up and turn up the speakers!" - Zenker Brothers

CERTIFIED DOCUMENTARY

Such a nice doc to watch. Watergate presented their club documentary in times of their tenth anniversary and those ten years have brought them a long way. Respect.

"Ten years is a long time - never-ending nights where the sun rises. time for house, time for dum 'n bass and especially time for good music. setup and dismantle, LED, sound, artists, dancers, doers. Inside and outside, closing the curtains, opening them. For friendships and for a city in changes - and us inbetween. The Watergate X movie, released 2012 on our "Ten year Watergate" DVD, shows what we love, what we do, because we love it. Some of our longterm friends get to speak - now you can watch it online. Cheers and to the next ten years!" A film by Stathis Klotsikas Additional production: Stassymedia, Mindatlarge, Easydoesit, Regenfrei Produktion

Caribou - Can't Do Without You (Tale Of Us & Mano Le Tough Remix)

Passing by HMV today, we just saw Caribou’s Our Love was nominated as top 10 album by Mixmag. No doubt, his album was quite impressive among other dance music albums. Personally, I like the remix version of Can’t Do Without You more! The ambient feeling and the percussion matched each other so well. We hope to catch Tale Of Us and Mano Le Tough this sunday at TrouwAmsterdam.
