Episode #038 - Akirahawks
Straight from the depths of the Lab.oratory. It's Akirahawks in the mix!
Akirahawks is a regular DJ in the Berlin scene. He's played practically every hotspot in the city, spreading thick sheets of intergalactic space funk over crowds in places like Tresor, the Panoramabar and the gritty rooms of About Blank. Most people outside of the German city don't know about him, as he likes to operate in the proper territories of the underground, but the real insiders know what this man is all about!
What people also don't know is that he is the man behind the brilliant House Mannequin imprint. Though it's catalog doesn't expand as fast as most labels do, it does have an excellent quality to it that is rare to find these days and although his releases are very limited, the label has enjoyed major support from true legends like Theo Parrish and Eric Duncan. It's releases are known for it's raw house and deep soulful disco sounds and are definetly reflective of Akira's taste and the kind of records he selects when he is playing out.
This deathmetaldiscomix is a perfect example of an Akirahawks set. With his eclectic taste and knowledge, you'll never know what he's up to next and we absolutely advise you to check him out once your visiting Berlin. He mostly plays party's with unannounced line-ups, but ask a few locals and they will probably know where he'll be spinning his amazing tunes over the weekend.
For now, enjoy this amazing new guest mix by Akirahawks and don't forget to check out the links below!

Episode #037 - Flemming Dalum
HE'S BACK! The boss. The king of the cut. Flemming Dalum, the commander of the beat. And we are damn well happy about it! Flemming's previous mix for deathmetaldiscoclub really proved to be a turning point in the reboot of our mix series, we had a lot of amazing response to his exclusive mix and we still do every day, so we couldn't help but say 'yes' once he offered us
to do another one. And boy, is he back with a vengeance!!
For this exclusive mix Flemming decided to revisit the unusual part of his mind-boggling record collection. Many people are not aware of the fact that he was a dedicated techno collector in the hey-days of the genre. Flemming has ALL techno records from the '88-'94 techno era and we were really curious to what a Flemming Dalum techno mix would sound like. He did a few short techno mixes for the Cybernetic Broadcasting System/Intergalactic FM, but never really explored the genre to it's fullest. Well, here you go.
Ofcourse he wasn't able to go through all of his techno records for this, but we are absolutely grateful for opening another door to his universe. The result is absolutely relentless. This is techno with a capital T. A brave step for a man who operates in such specific territories, but he's gone way deeper than most techno dj's would dare to nowadays. It is hard, tight and raw as fuck. But with that oldschool human element to it, proving once again that he understands groove and ambiance like no other.
Flemming has just released a new remix on the amazing Disco Modernism for the previously unreleased 'Leave me alone' track by Atelier Folie. He's also got a new remix coming out on the next Red Laser Records EP and there's a ton of other productions and mixes he is working on right now. So keep an eye on the channels that are linked below if you want to know all about his future projects.
For now, HUGH respect to Flemming Dalum, as this is something not every DJ would agree to do. And most importantly, enjoy this absolute monster of a mix!! No tracklist this time!!

The Clover - Processes
The first thing that comes to mind when listening to The Clover, is the live-feel of this band's music. There's a certain playfulness to their take on electronic music that really stands out. It really feels like all their tracks are polished live jams, and you can totally hear that they explored all the possibilities before arranging their tracks into their final form. Processes is no exception from that. This album is probably the freshest album in house music we have heard this year. Combining a free-jazz attitude with proper synth psychedelia has resulted in an amazing collection of tracks which are really hard to compare to eachother. Both in attitude and mood.
Though some tracks are not for everyone, we can definetly imagine a handful of DJ's right away who are able to work these tracks into their sets. Some of them are really deep and experimental like "The Black Hole" or "Break 4 Luck" (again with San Proper), while tracks like "The Gash" or "Phoenix" are definetly danceable. Subtly triggering lots of impulses with their experimental sides and the carefully programmed beats and bass. There's a lot of detail in the combination of the two, which adds a lot of human element in them. Ofcourse we can only applaud to the adventurous side that this record contains. It's really complex, but it's records like these that will continuously start to grow on you after every rotation and that will be hailed upon in years to come for their timeless quality.
Bosconi is going to release "Processes" on December 15th, with 10 tracks on the CD format and there's a digital release planned for December 21st, which has three exclusive tracks that come with it. Essential record for the hardcore psychonauts. Samples below!

Episode #036 - Marcel Vogel
We've got Marcel Vogel on the decks this week, and the Germanian disco don really stretched his disco muscle this time. Providing us with a 2 hour monster set full of classic disco cuts and edits.
Marcel is the mastermind behind Lumberjacks in Hell and Intimate friends, which are widely known for their really diverse output. These imprints are definetly your thing when you are really into the disco edit/chicago house. Since 2010, he has released records by people like Rayko, Rahaan, Traxx, NY AK and himself, and the imprints have really earned their global support from day one.
As a DJ, Marcel started promoting/playing events in Germany. He had a major success with his Legacy events in Berlin from 2003 to 2007, but decided to move to Amsterdam in 2010, which proved to be the right move. The city has welcomed his persona with open arms and it also served as an important hub for his international carreer. Travelling the whole wide world himself and bringing over some of his biggest friends in disco music, friends like Hunee and Rahaan.
Marcel is currently playing a monster tour through the United States of America, but ofcourse his Lumberjacks in Hell aren't sitting still! The label should have another monster release by Al Kent in stores by now. The 'Yes I Do/Can't Stop' single is a perfect example for the sound of both Marcel himself and the Lumberjacks/Intimate Friends sound, so go check that out at your regular store.
But now that you're at it, we advise you to check out this mad, mad disco mix. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do and don't forget to check out the links on Marcel and his work down below! Enjoy.

Episode #035 - Convert
This week's guest is Convert. A forward-thinking techno DJ/producer who is surrounded by clouds of mystery. The artist involved asked us explicitly to keep his profile as anonymous it can get, so we will have to keep this as low-profile as possible for now.
We do want you to know that he has been sending us some of his tracks in the last couple of weeks and we can only tell you how SUPER-excited we are about the sounds that he delivers. Testing his tracks really fills our eyes with tears of joy! So we definetly advise you to start following him on Soundcloud or Facebook, because we really want you guys to find out, once he's ready to reveal the things he's working on.

This guest mix is a great experimental ride between the colliding worlds of techno and electro. We could try to formulate the feelings that this episode evokes, but words would do unjust. So we decided to keep this description as short as we should and advise you to pick up a good pair of headphones and surrender yourself to this deep, but wonderful universe. Enjoy!

Episode #034 - Kid Machine
This week's mix has been made by one of the most badass detainees from the intergalactic space prison. Deathmetaldiscoclub is very proud to present to you this exclusive mix by Mark Wilkinson aka Kid Machine!
Mark has been producing in the 90's under the guise of Maruko, which was originally a house music project. He released the first Maruko release on his own label called Deluded Records in 2001. He also used to DJ under that name for years, but decided in 2006 that he wanted to venture into other ends of electronic music. He's focused on music production ever since.
Since 2007, Mark has been experimenting with various forms of electro/disco in his home studio, based in Wythenshawe, Manchester UK. He got a lot of inspiration from science-fiction and space-influenced music and realized that this was only the beginning of a new era for him, the Kid Machine was born. He released his first Kid Machine EP in 2009 on Sounds of the Suburbs, called Velours 77.
2012 proved to be an essential year for Mark. His Replicants EP on I-F's Viewlexx Records was a major hit in the Italo-Disco/Electro scene, and the vinyl has been a much sought-after product since the day of it's release. His tracks and demo's have been widely exposed to people all over the world through Flemming Dalum's legendary disco mixes and the Replicants EP and Flemming Dalum's support have triggered lots of labels showing interest in his work ever since. He's had big, epic releases on Flight Recorder and Red Laser Recordings from then on and we are really much looking forward to his debut album.
The Kid Machine debut album is called 'First Contact' and will be out on a double 12" inch release through Cyber Dance, somewhere early 2014. He's also got a follow-up to the highly succesful 'Space Consortium vol. 1' on Flight Recorder that he is working on right now and we are delighted to learn that Flemming Dalum and Casionova will be involved too again. He's got a whole bunch of killer tracks that he's working on besides that, deathmetaldiscoclub had the honor of test-driving some of his newest cuts, and we are super-excited about his newest works, consisting of a new kid machine sound, besides the classic one. So expect even more announcements from this man in the near-future.
For this mix, he delivered an epic journey through the Kid Machine universe, consisting of both original work and tracks by others. We couldn't be any more happier with the submission we got and we know you guys will absolutely dig this.
For now, fasten your seatbelts, close down your eyes, and enjoy this amazing 34rth episode of Deathmetaldiscoclub and don't forget to check out the links on Kid Machine we included below! Have a nice trip friends!

Episode #033 - De Pin Up Club
This week's guest is Josef van Galen as De Pin Up Club. A very talented sound designer and as down-to-earth as one can be. Josef has been DJ'ing for quite some time now. He used to be a lot into breakdance, early hiphop and electro back in the days when he lived in Delft. He also used to throw his own parties at places like Paard van Troje.
These days he focuses a lot on producing. He's based in Amsterdam right now and is currently manufacturing tracks under the name of De Pin Up Club. The name was taken from an old Dutch television show from the 80's, which was all about music video's and half-naked women running around like headless chicken. He's really got a sound that is pretty hard to categorize. It's disco, it's boogie, it's everything danceable with a really fresh touch of his own. His productions are super-crisp and he's got an amazing ear for great melody's and hooks and stimulating basslines. And the same can be said of his DJ sets.
He delivered an eclectic selection of tunes for this episode, with a nod to his earliest influences, combining them with his current taste in electronic music, while staying true to the sound of his most recent output as an artist himself. Things don't get much more deathmetaldiscoclub than this, and we're really, really sure that you guys are going to appreciate this episode.
He recently released his first EP called 'Go Funk Yourself' on Discobox Records from Mexico. His tracks are doing really well right now and we know that there's a lot more material he is working on at the moment. It's a bit too early to inform you about this right now, but things are going to get very exciting for him in 2014. More on that later.
For now, we wish you a pleasant time with this exclusive one-hour mix by De Pin Up Club and don't forget to visit the links below, this is one guy you should keep your eyes on! ENJOY!!!
