Coming up on Schirmchendrink is a healthy drink that has already been consumed for thousands of years: Kombucha! And it also happens to be a favorite drink of our next guest on the show, GIAX.

Other than he does vinyl sets and plays few shows only, nothing is known about the selector based in Todos Santos, a small surf town in Mexico's Baja Peninsula. GIAX posted some mixes on SoundCloud and they made their way to the Schirmchendrink headquarters, where they are played on a regular base. His style is more minimalistic than our usual lineup, works well for dancing as well as for listening at home.

GIAX' exclusive mix for Schirmchendrink is a journey with a variety of genres of what he likes to play and listen. And we'd like to order a second round, please!!

Cheers

We're takin' it easy today with LADS' fantastic summer sip: the Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall. A riff on the Screwdriver, with Sloe Gin in place of Vodka, the Slow Crew cocktail family emerged in the 80s. LADS' version takes you on a sweet and sexy downtempo ride, perfect to while away a hot late summer night.

Who are LADS? One German. One South African. Germafrican if you want. Meeting online (not Tinder), the two technical creatives ditched their failing modelling careers to make electronic music that babies are made to... This journey has led to the duo releasing on labels such as Lost & Found, Akbal, Nie Wieder Schlafen, Buddha Bar and seen their music supported by some of the biggest names in the industry including Solomun, Adriatique, Acid Pauli, Be Svendsen, Guy J and more.

Being away from the clubs and festivals, the duo decided to go on a downtempo listening journey with their exclusive mix for Schirmchendrink. "This really allows the listener to appreciate the space in between the rhythms and melodies. We named this mix after a cocktail out of the 1980s and 1990s with a racy name and definitely way too much sugar 😉 Enjoy this long comfortable screw against the wall. At least this time, it ain't in a dirty bathroom stall 😉!"

Cheers!

KÖNI was born in Albania, raised in Italy and currently resides in the land of chocolate. He conquered the scene in a stunningly short time with his eclectic downtempo originals and remixes that are currently out on labels such as Sol Selectas, Mōnada, Kosa, HMWL, akasha MX and many more. We're in particular happy that he also included plenty of upcoming tracks (for example on Wayu, Harabe or Lump Records) in this fantastic sip. Or, how he likes to call it, "Narration"! Enjoy!

Here we go with our next summer refresher, the Garibaldi, for your listening pleasure! It has been prepared by the fantastic up-and-coming act out of South Africa, Desiree, who has been creating a buzz in the international scene lately and just celebrated her premiere at Berlin's Watergate last week. Her mix comes out balanced and refreshing, with deep, sweet and soulful summer notes all intermingling in the perfect sip.

The emergence of electronic music in Johannesburg has become the focus of international attention, spanning a myriad of sub-genres and featuring a collection of world-class DJs. Among them, Desiree is a prominent figure. Equally at ease showcasing cutting-edge threads on the cat-walk and spinning the sketchiest new tracks in underground South African deep-house clubs, Desiree represents feminine intelligence, empowerment and style, effortlessly traversing careers between the fashion and music industries.

When she is not on the runway, Desiree is a resident DJ and co-founder for a women’s music collective, ironically named Boys Club. In the space of two years, Desiree has become a regular attraction at some of Johannesburg’s most popular events. Resident DJ at The Rhythm, and previously Surreal Electronica, she has featured on line-ups with Black Coffee, Elif and Da Capo, and played at the Grand Moon and Nouvel An Sauvage in Ivory Coast.

Desiree’s sonic palette incorporates alternative electronic sounds inspired by Thom Yorke, Bonobo and Gui Boratto, fused with afro-house and deep-tech by Osunlade, Guy Mantzur, Jonathan Kaspar and Sobek. She cites the Rocco mix of Ralf Gum’s ‘All This Love For You’ as her all-time favourite house track.

Known as a taste-maker among her peers, Desiree made the Top 10 of the Budweiser sponsored SA King of the Decks competition in 2020. Her experience has fine-tuned Desiree’s skills as a performer, enabling her participation in the 2019 Rackless Kazi DJ Residency in Zambia as the South African representative for this unique women-focused programme. She has acquired an ambition to expand into the realm of music production and is currently working on original material for release soon.

Adrian Flavor and Samy Jackson aka Animal Trainer present the next fantastic summer refresher exclusively here on Schirmchendrink: the Mezcal Mule!

The dynamic duo has become one of the hottest properties on the international circuit and represent the epitome of what Switzerland’s new generation of electronic artists has to offer.

Raised in a city with arguably the strongest club scene in Switzerland, Zurich, Animal Trainer made their name through a series of parties called ‘Rakete’, which still take place at the infamous Hive club.

In 2008 Animal Trainer dropped their first release, ‘Talkshow’, which was followed by releases with some of the industry’s most influential labels; Defected, Poker Flat, mobilee, Einmusika, Katermukke and their own highly-regarded Hive Audio label among them.

2013 saw the release of Adrian and Samy’s debut full-length album, titled ‘Wide’. Spread across 13 tracks, the LP demonstrated their maturity as artists, focusing on the dance floor, but also incorporating down-tempo cuts and collaborations with vocalists such as Jan Blomqvist and Jimi Jules. It was a resounding success, with widespread praise and leading publications such as Groove Magazine and Data Transmission weighing in with glowing reviews.

With each new release Animal Trainer push the boundaries of their sound, introducing subtle nuances, unforgettable hooks, emotive rhythms or enchanting melodies while retaining their own individual groove to keep the dance floor bubbling.

In the years since their first release Animal Trainer have maintained a constant focus on high quality club music, staying relevant when others have followed the hype, and evolving into a force to be reckoned with. They are party boys who take their music very seriously, but are never serious themselves – it’s a winning combination that has kept them one step ahead and on a constant upwards trajectory. Whatever they do next you can be sure that it will be something special...so is this Mezcal Mule, by the way.

Another round, please!

Cheers

Today's special is a hot weather must have: Bachir Salloum presents his favorite sip, a Tequila Sour with Honey, the perfect balance of savory and sweet.

Hernan Cattaneo was one of his earliest supporters, and he has played alongside the likes of Sasha, Black Coffee, Lee Burridge, Damian Lazarus, Patrice Bäumel, Joris Voorn, Peggy Gou, Nick Warren and Henry Saiz from the UAE to Europe and beyond .

Bachir Salloum is rapidly establishing himself as a quality producer, releasing on labels like Balance Music, Sudbeat, Juicebox Music, Akbal, Do Not Sit and more.

Raised on Beirut’s famed club scene, Dubai -based since 2014, Bachir ’s uplifting mellifluous sets and deep, emotional productions movingly and skilfully combine progressive house, deep house and shades of tech house.

‘Each gig is different. But my sound and style are always identifiable, defined by me and the tracks I choose to share.’ Inspired by his older brother who was a hip - hop and R&B DJ, Bachir started exploring electronic music aged 16 and was captivated by Beirut's diverse music scene.

His first DJ gig was in 2006 at OM, an after-hours club in Beirut. ‘The first time I saw a turntable and vinyl was thanks to my brother, he used to work at a local radio station as a DJ. He used to practise at home and I remember wanting to learn so badly, he never allowed me to touch the equipment and I now know why!’

His earlier influences were suitably diverse too, including rock music, heavy metal and progressive rock(Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree). From age 13-15 years old, he would carefully curate and record fragments of songs from the radio and create mixtapes on cassette, by learning the radio

schedule and waiting for just the right song he wanted.

‘I always wanted to make my passion, my work. How amazing to travel the world and share your stories through your own music. To create happy moments and endless connections through it. I believe in staying true to yourself and your unique sound, to really stand out in an industry full of

talented people.’

With a packed release schedule for the coming months, including on Third Avenue, Akbal Music and more, Bachir is set to be one of the stars of the Middle East scene and beyond.
