Dekmantel Podcast 401 - Sleep D

Author: dekmantel September 5, 2022 Duration: 1:04:53
As @sleepd, childhood friends Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have greatly helped shape Melbourne's underground scene over the last decade. Between them, they have Iraqi and Maltese heritage and put out music on the likes of Incienso, Play On and Cocktail d'Amore Music as well as their own blog/party/label Butter Sessions. Like their expressive live show, it explores "the rave unconscious" so think everything from dreamy pads to driving rhythms, gritty electro to cosmic techno. This week's podcast is a superb showcase of their style: a mix that is constantly on the move, building momentum as rhythms go from elastic and bouncy to more driving and sleek. Percussion is perfectly sprinkled in to give extra texture, while nebulous synths add the colour as the pressure builds and builds. This is physical, psychedelic, emotional, trance-inducing electronic music that follows the familiar arc of a well-executed mix but in all new and unfamiliar ways.

For years, the Dekmantel Mix Series Archive 1-500 has served as a deep, curated well of sonic exploration, directly from the heart of the renowned Dutch festival and label. This isn't just a collection of DJ sets; it's a living archive of electronic music's evolving narrative, capturing moments from both legendary figures and vital new voices. Each episode functions as a standalone journey, where genres like techno, house, electro, and ambient blur and converse. You'll hear meticulously crafted mixes that range from hypnotic and atmospheric to rhythmically driving, all united by a distinct sense of curation and mood. Tuning into this podcast is like having access to a privileged vault of musical continuity, released regularly for dedicated listeners. The archive format means there's always a previous chapter to discover, a hidden gem from a past installment that feels newly relevant. It's a long-form dedication to the art of the mix, offering a consistent and rich source of inspiration whether you're at home or on the move. The bi-weekly schedule ensures a steady flow of these immersive sessions, making this series a foundational listen for anyone invested in the deeper currents of electronic music culture.
