It's quite difficult to describe Lazaros in terms of music since the Cologne based DJ and producer has more to offer than just his releases on labels such as Sum Over Histories, KX or Nautilus Rising.
ART:CAST #14 by Lazaros
INTERVIEW Yotam Avni
Yotam Avni will make his EP debut on British label Hotflush in September with three reduced and raw techno cuts that represent a dark almost pure and industrial sound that surely will find its way to the cathedral of techno music: Berghain.
REVIEW Patrice Bäumel + Danny Daze & Shokh ‘Speicher 98’ [Kompakt Extra]
Cologne based label Kompakt Extra is back with its latest Speicher 98 EP that features new cuts from Patrice Bäumel and Danny Daze & Shokh and unites two of the label‘s artist that were resonsible for its musical highlights in 2016.
REVIEW Henrik Schwarz ‘Take Words in Return (Jimi Jules Remix)’ [Watergate Records]
Swiss artist Jimi Jules has been delivering quality music throughout the past month. His latest remix duties led the artist to take on Henrik Schwarz‘ classic tune ‘Take Words in Return‘ that quickly became a Sonar Festival anthem and has ever since been played out by, well, basically everyone.
INTERVIEW The/Das
Berlin based duo The/Das announced their sophomore album Exit Strategies last week, which will be out on Dj Tennis‘ label Life & Death. With their latest work The/Das follow a more club oriented path adding a more housy approach to their music since the duo considers their project 'happening mainly in clubs and electronic music festivals.'
REVIEW DJ Tennis feat. Fink ‘Certain Angels’ [!K7]
Continuing the two-decade old legacy, DJ Tennis has recently put out his take on the DJ-Kicks album. The two-disc, sixteen-track track compilation includes tracks by not on the Life and Death label-head himself, but artists such as Caribou, Red Axes and Traumprinz.
The ART:SIDE DOWN with Jonathan Kaspar
Jonathan Kaspar has only been releasing music for two years, but they’ve already been placed on renowed labels like KX, Objektivity or Pets. And although the Cologne-resident was riding the HipHop train during his teenage years, you won’t be able to hear this influence in his productions.
INTERVIEW & TRACK PREMIERE Kalyma ‘Howl’ [SOLIDE]
Growing up in Gran Canaria and now residing in Berlin, Kalyma‘s personal journey is as interesting as his musical one. As one of the founders, alongside MYNY and D.Y.A, of the label Solide the producer is responsible for several drum and rhythm oriented tracks.
REVIEW Cleveland ‘Kyoto’ [ESP Institute]
Cleveland’s ‘Kyoto’ EP is a nice follow-up to his recent remix streak where he’s reimagined tracks by Roosevelt, Benjamin Fröhlich and Abstraxion. The young producer seems to have the world on his mind as both track named after – Kyoto (Japan) and Coimbra (Portugal).
REVIEW &ME ‘Avalon EP’ [Keinemusik]
&ME‘s path has gone up ever since he moved to Berlin back in 2004, which marked the beginning of his musical career in the spotlight of the electronic music. With his very first Keinemusik release, ‘F.I.R.‘, Andre Boadu, how close friends call &ME, set quite high standards for following releases, but disappointed neither his audience nor DJs.
