This weeks special is a ride between deep house and deep tech, and, if you listen closely, you'll notice some Detroit and Chicago house influence. Yulia Niko's Mezcalita is an awesome groover that gets you started the right way on this monday!

Quickly falling under the spell of House music, Yulia learned to DJ at the age of 15 and was soon a resident in Sochi, Russia, close to where she grew up. After getting her Law degree, Yulia relocated first to Greece, then New York, where she wrote two albums worth of material which ended up getting her signed to a number of labels. Her break out track, ‘Zurich’, was snapped up by Get Physical to widespread acclaim. No wonder she received a coveted ‘One to Watch’ from Mixmag the same year.

In Berlin, where she currently lives, Yulia refocused her attention and wrote another brace of tracks, two of which were picked up by Damien Lazarus’ Rebellion imprint. Now signed to some impressive top-tier labels, Yulia’s studio craft was being recognised by an ever-growing army of high profile admirers including Dennis Ferrer, Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, and many others who were playing and charting her music.

Besides her incredible DJ and studio skills, Yulia has impressive business acumen. Setting up her first record label, TochnoTechno back in 2016 showed the tougher end of her musical palette and helped her understand the logistics of the business. With Libe Vibe, she is delivering her second label project, supporting young artists. It explores the relationship between the vibe and energy, a sonic experimentation that will bring new and old sounds together collectively.

Her latest release, Manifesto EP, is out today on Watergate Records. It comes with three original releases and remixes by YokoO and/or Francesco Mami. Our favorite is the original of "Passion", a percussion-heavy groover with hypnotic vocals. It's our lucky day, Yulia used it in her sensational Mezcalita!

Cheers!

This one's for your heart and your soul: Amine K's favorite sip is a glass of neat rum. For todays exclusive episode on Schirchendrink Morocco's ambassador for electronic music used the best of soulful, vocal-ish ingredients. The result is an incredibly beautiful and very special sip!

Amine’s self prescribed job description is to put a smile on people’s faces by sharing his music, be that as a DJ or through his productions, happiness is at the core of everything he does.

Through production and DJing, Amine discovered a life without restrictions, a distinct purpose to pursue. The majority of Amine’s productions feature ode’s to his African roots, however, his musical influences vary from Danny Tenaglia, to Deep Dish, Nick Warren, and even BB King.

His selective label appearances have been poignant moments in his music career. Sol Selectas proved to be a launchpad to the world, their family a most welcoming one. More recent releases on the likes of Alex Niggeman’s Aeon and the esteemed Get Physical Music are a marker of where Amine’s sound is moving.

As a touring artist, he has embraced the unknown, planting the electronic music flag in new territories around the world, helping to develop real underground communities everywhere from Myanmar to Mauritius.

On more familiar terrain, in 2019 he made his Boiler Room debut at the Grid in Dubai alongside stop- offs for his Moroko Loko party at Montreal, Tokyo, Paris and Berlin. The party provides a twin benefit, often bringing international acts to Morocco for the first time while also introducing African influences to the world.

Not to mention his annual presence at Burning Man, his sunrise sets at Robot Heart the perfect summation of his musical identity.

Cheers!

We are back with another summer sip for connaisseurs and we’re extremely happy to have it mixed by an outstanding producer, DJ and live performer. Please join us in welcoming MUUI with his sensational Calypso!

The Berlin based artist has long been praised for his distinctive design and creative approach; offering you a concise and personal slice of his universe with each interaction.

MUUI’s discography reflects his many influences and his exploratory nature always searching for compelling moments; working with an extensive list of vintage and modern hardware synthesizers, drum machines and processing gear that has seen him carve out a raw sound all of his own, beautifully delicate, intricate and emotive, a fresh message that resonates through each release and his live show.

Since his first release in 2014, his fascination to experiment with technique and technology has continually expanded his prowess as an artist. A heavy focus on live performance saw the birth of his debut album ‘Escape The Remedies’. The album was released in January 2015 via the Berlin label Crossfrontier Audio.

Releases followed on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat and Microcastle alongside his second studio album ‘Following Today’, warping listeners into a carefully built exploration and was his most mature output to date.

2017 saw the birth of his own imprint; Here Now was conceived as a new creative outlet for MUUI with the vision to bring together his music and other creative artists by way of events and a record label.

In 2019 MUUI released his follow up EP on Sudbeat, alongside several raw and vibrant analog explorations planned across the year on Here Now.

MUUI’s used the weeks of isolation lately to create new deep and atmospheric masterpieces. We’re extremely happy that he used some of his upcoming gems in the Calypso and we cannot get enough of it!

Cheers

As the name of our next cocktail suggests, the Mexican Mule is a tequila-based version of the Moscow Mule. Flowers on Monday’s version comes with lots of smoothness and a deliciously dreamy finale!

One hailing from the highest mountains, living in the wilderness and overcoming his struggles to survive, takes on an adventure with his elephants to dust off his past - reaching out for new ambitions.

The other originated from the deepest oceans, shifting dark, towering clouds to a glowing red, while the sky transforms into a fascinating palette of colors - changing each and every day.

Two branded individuals, crossing paths at 48° 0′ N, 8° 0′ O, merging into a project of an extraordinary sound, produced and shared for the people, who need it.

„Flowers on Monday“ is an unexpected gesture or a hug from a stranger - our small gift, when you’re going through a rough time.

Music with a soothing foundation and a magical finish - one that implements our appreciation for the little things, which imprint themselves in your heart and memory.

Our life energy, in a world filled with tension and pressure.

Build out of electronica with organic roots, in form of live instruments and vocals, this project transfers it’s listeners to forgotten places, to let them dream away.

Cheers!

Today , Athens-based storyteller Marsha takes us on a journey back to ancient Greek with her phenomenal Oracle of Delphi. Minimalistic, deep in its taste and mysteriously colorful:

Marsha brings storytelling through music & magic. She believes that human beings need music, stories and magic in the same way that plants need sun and rain. It was her mix for Deep House Athens, which is run by Marsha by the way, that impressed us and since then we wanted her to mix a delicious Schirmchendrink.

She definitely is an artist with a delicate taste, tremendous creativity and a unique sound who found her own place in the world of deep electronic music. In Athens, she is running her own music club project called 'Marsha Invites" and she is a DJ at Home 89.1 radio. She is a member of Playground Greece team, and, being a true Yoga lover, she co-founded the Music & Yoga Project, where she provides the electronic music soundtrack to professional yoga classes.

For this exclusive Schirmchendrink episode and together with her bartender friend Goozy (https://www.instagram.com/goozy85), Marsha invented this cocktail “Oracle of Delphi” (picture credits go to https://www.instagram.com/_ambrosialis_). Here is the recipe:

• Mastiha infused with butterfly pea tea

• Oracle syrup

• Plum bitters

• Oleander leaves

Delphi was an important ancient Greek religious sanctuary sacred to the god Apollo. Located on Mount Parnassus, the sanctuary was home to the famous oracle of Apollo, which gave cryptic predictions and guidance to both city-states and individuals. Thanks to Pythia’s prestige, Delphi became the richest and most famous Hellenic sanctuary. The Greeks called it the Omphalos, or “Navel, center of the world.”

Pythia was the name of the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi who also served as the oracle, also known as the Oracle of Delphi. Pythia spoke on behalf of the Gods and delivered oracles. She was falling into a prophetic trance by using oleander as a complement during the oracular procedure, chewing its leaves and inhaling their smoke.

We love creative minds, we love storytelling, and, we love Marsha! This one just has it all. Thank you for this fantastic sip and mesmerizing journey!

Cheers!

The Mojito, the refreshing and minty national cocktail of Cuba, mentally transports us to a tropical location no matter where we’re sipping it. Oscar Mederos’ interpretation of is not just the preferred option for quenching our thirst after a long night on the dance floor or toasting during a summer vacation’s night out, it is also another example of the outstanding story telling skills of the Miami based DJ.

Originally from Cuba, Oscar has now been residing in Miami for the past five years. He fell in love with electronic music after attending many of the Miami underground parties and developed an exceptional taste and competence in electronic music.

Involved with the Miami based label Magician on Duty, Oscar further developed his passion for electronic music and was part of the label’s rise to an essential source for deep and dreamy electronic music.

Oscar is a welcome guest behind the decks at Behrouz’ Do Not Sit On The Furniture club in Miami, where he shared the stage with artists like Midas 104, Sainte Vie, Lake People, Mira & Chris, Arutani and many more.

As the driving force behind the so-called All Day I Dream Appreciation Page, a popular group on Facebook, Oscar and thousands of ADID enthusiasts share new music, track IDs and news related to the beloved label.

But, most of all, Oscar is a tremendous story teller with a faible for emotional music across any of the electronic music genres. We couldn’t be happier to serve his Mojito today.

Thanks for this masterpiece, Oscar!
