Track Info:

We reach 1 year of existence; 1 year where we have been able to meet and discover in the depths of the scene incredible projects with sounds, vibrations and unique stories which would not be so special if not for the possibility that we have to share them with you.

This collective has always focused on supporting art and the projects that are born of human expression. The underground scene has always been our home and the audience listening to us, our family.

So in celebration and gratitude to you we have gathered efforts to create a compilation of various artists made up of the artist members of our family, accompanied by projects already recognized at both national and international level and some emerging projects with great potential and unique sounds.

We feel infinitely grateful to you who have accompanied us during this year of existence and that is why we pay tribute with this compilation to everyone who makes their existence an art and expresses through the sounds that in this collective are born.

Thank you so much!

Interview with Mathilde

*********************

Good morning Matilde 😊

➢ I hope you agree to answer a few random and fun questions to share with our listeners?

Yes of course, my pleasure.

➢ To start you off tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

It’s hard to select one track but if I have to choose the one and only it would be ‘Everybody loves the sunshine » by Roy Ayers

➢ Tell us briefly what got you into DJ’ing?

When I finally found my nest in electronic music. It was my escape, a kind of meditation in a way and of course my family, the @crepitecollective, the collective  and my acolyte Laurent Flaoh. They helped me overcome my fears, shyness and other constraints we impose ourselves sometimes. Djing is not only mixing tracks together but to contribute to create this environment where everyone can express themselves smiling, crying, screaming, feeling crazy or great in the middle of a crowd. The festivals, travelling, meeting new people even for 5 minutes talking or dancing together, sharing something good. It’s for this Culture.

➢ You have played a number of b2b’s. Tell us one or two things that you love playing in b2b’s that you don’t get when just DJ’ing alone?

Sharing a set with someone is sharing intimacy, you take off the masks and you’re naked together in front of the crowd driving the same boat. You open a new way of connecting with your Partner in crime. And when it’s works, it worth it because it’s a wide open door to complicity, confidence, laughter and symbiosis. For example when you don’t know what your Partner will play and you have plenty of tracks in common. It happens a lot with my friend  @lucid-paris « the track you are playing was supposed to be my next one ». also when people come to tell you that the B2B is composed by to different personalities but the story is very coherent. « Mission Accomplished »

➢ 2020 has been a difficult year for the music scene, how has it changed within your hometown and what do you think will be different in the future?

2020 has been really weird indeed ! It’s a new cycle for this planet, especially for humanity. I’m afraid it’s the beginning of a weird and cold way of life. Living with masks , social distancing but we’re smart and strong enough to create and find solutions to reunite all together. I really hope this will be behind us as soon as possible. « Earth without Art is just eh ! ». oh yes and for my hometown it’s quieter than it already was before the lockdown ! Haha

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

First, it was difficult to mix at home since the end of the first lockdown. I was far from my mixer and music for many months. I just couldn’t do it. Last summer I got back into my oldschool crushes, a return to the roots, albums, instrumental, acoustic music, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Classic, Funk. A few weeks ago, Mira upload her set « Kater Blau Birthday AUG 29 2020 » and it inspired me. She inspires many people, many women and I can say that she’s one of the reason why I’m djing. At the end of the set I just wanted to mix and that’s how I recorded this podcast. This set I’ve record for you guys has been stronger than any medicine. I need to heal something that night. That’s why it’s more progressive and deep than downtempo. I downpitched fast deep house tracks with heavy electronic layers to around 108 BPM. Some of the tracks are nice memories like Integrity-Lusine remix or NightWalker- Iorie Remix. I chose those two tracks thinking about people I love and with whom I shared strong moments listening to them. I really appreciate this moment alone within the sound reconnecting with electronic music.

Monday morning deep slow mystical vibes with haunting vocals... perfect for this misty November day. Ser Humano is a new upcoming producer so lets give him the support he deserves considering the quality of this wicked track!

One of our treasured artists thds is back with a new album out on the lovely Sirin Music label. This track has a soft touch to it to give your Wednesday a nice mellow mood to it. Composed solely by him without using any samples to give you an idea of the originality of this track!

Track Info:

thds is an uprising multi-talented musician that shined last year alongside Dubelu in our Zeitgeist Vol.4 compilation. Now he is back with his titled release “Ubuntu”, presenting us with an amazing 4 tracker curated perfectly to hear along the melodies of each song, fitted perfectly with the warm and smooth vocals that characterizes thds sound.

“Ubuntu” is a Nguni Bantu term meaning “humanity”. It is often translated as “I am because we are”. In a search for authenticity, this EP was entirely recorded on acoustic and electric instruments. It comes as the result of a reflection about our relationship with nature and with one another. Fly along the rhythms of thds with “Ubuntu”, his new spells written for the Sounds of Sirin.

@sahaleprods is one of those producers you love coming back to because of his variety in his quality productions. One of our favorite ever podcasts to this day was by him and his partner in crime @na-t0 a few years ago and therefore it is a real pleasure to be able to share with you one of Sahalé's newest productions.

We wanted to premiere this wonderful track "Kaminari" from his latest EP called "Yoake Raw Cuts" he has just released. A six track EP that is different to what he is known for, but this wonderful smooth, jazzy triphop vibe is perfect to put you in a that cosy relaxed mood.

Close your eyes and float away.

The wonderful guardian of mystical forests, an honor to have a Witchtape on Sunset Grooves. To be honest no need to introduce Hekske's music and everything you need to know can be understood through the mix and the lovely interview. One of those mixes you just click and let yourself float...

Interview with @Hekske

*********************

Good morning Hekske 😊

➢ I hope you agree to answer a few random and fun questions to share with our listeners?

Sure, it’s the first time of my life I’m doing some sort of interview (and probably the last time as well). So let’s do this 😊

➢ To start you off tell us what song puts you in a good mood when you wake up in the morning?

Well, generally I already wake up in a good mood every morning so no need to listen to music. Occasionally I’m listening to ‘4ware’ from Deadmau5 to pump myself full of energy for the whole day.

➢ About three years ago you decided to invite your first DJ guest onto your witchtapes podcast. Tell us briefly what was your dream then and how has it maybe changed today?

Well, in early 2017 I made the very first mini-mixes of my life (these are witchtapes 1-2-3). At that point I was contacted by a Tunisian artist named Samer Soltan and he asked whether he could release a mix on my soundcloud page. I replied that my page was not a channel, only to change my mind 24 hours later, so we gave it a go and that became Witchtape #4. And the rest is history. It was only 8 months later (with Witchtape #14) that I started writing fairy tales about the now-famous little witch. So it really took quite a while before my channel really took shape. At the start of my channel I was basically just clueless so there actually was no dream or vision … it just happened.

➢ As someone who also runs a podcast series, what are some of the criteria when inviting artists to do a mix for you?

When I sense that an artist is resonating with the mystic-magic vibe of my channel, an invitation may follow sooner rather than later 😊

➢ 2020 has been a difficult year for the music scene, how has it changed within your hometown and what do you think will be different in the future?

Oh well, my hometown is easily the sleepiest town in Belgium, with no such thing as a music scene, apart from a carnival band named ‘Fret Tet & The Swinging Tepelboys’ which you can translate as ‘Fred Tit & The Swinging Nippleboys’. But given the dramatic corona situation in Belgium, the nipples have stopped shaking in 2020 … the carnival parade of 2021 has already been cancelled so I guess the nipples will only resume swinging in 2022.

➢ Lastly, regarding this mix you have done for us, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

Last summer, while doing some paintwork in my house, I was listening on repeat to ‘Long Story Short’, an absolutely epic podcast from Vincent Gericke from 3 years ago. I decided to make some kind of tribute mix and picked 3 tracks from ‘Long Story Short’ and started weaving some new tracks around that, while preserving most of the original atmosphere. After that I got a bit stuck for a few weeks until out of the blue an unknown DJ gave me the id of a track I had requested over 1 year ago. So that became my opening track. Still the middle section didn’t work out, until all of a sudden I realized that I had an unreleased Vincent Gericke track somewhere on a USB stick (which he sent to me 2 years ago). And suddenly all pieces fell together

The wonderful @katesteinnyc in charge of the decks this week. You'll realize straight away why we asked her on the podcast. Originally from Australia but recently moved from NY to LA, her motto of "dance like you mean it" and "zero fucks" is just what we are looking for when entering a dance floor.

Interview with Kate

******************

➢To start off tell us what song puts you in a good mood in the morning?

I love listening to nostalgic music, music I grew up listening to with my parents or on the radio, music from my childhood, 60’s / 70’s hits. Something that makes me feel like I am living in a simpler time. I try to avoid using my phone/electronic devices in the morning, so records are my go to.

➢Who were your first music inspirations and are they similar to your current influences when it comes to producing your own music?

My first musical inspiration was very far from the electronic scene and the music that I now produce. I loved listening to artists like AFI, The Mars Volta, Placebo. I was really into punk, rock and some emo music as a teen - It wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I started actively taking interest in the electronic / house music scene. Before I was all about live music, mosh pits and seeing bands perform at festivals. I still draw a lot of inspiration from punk, post punk and psych rock - remixing favorite artists like Les Savy Fav or recording live guitars from friends in punk bands.

➢What pushed you to become a DJ / Producer?

I wanted to pursue DJing and production and a second career as I sensed it was a lifelong journey with so many avenues to explore. I wanted to challenge myself, learn new skills. I also work as a spacial designer/art director and while I love working with visual and tactile components, I felt like the sonic sphere was lacking in my life. I wanted to actively engage with people and what better way to do so than on the dance floor?! DJing gave me a way to travel with intention and purpose.

➢2020 has been a difficult year for the music scene, how has it changed within your hometown and what do you think will be different in the future?

I call my hometown New York as I have lived there the last 9 years. NYC was hit very hard with venues, clubs and bars now struggling to stay afloat with high rent prices and minimal government support. NYC is a very resilient city and I believe that there will be a resurgence in creativity and DIY venues, parties and performance. People are leaving the city so rent prices are dropping, providing an affordable space for artists to work and live.

➢Once things return to a certain normality, which festival would you want to go to first? (It could be a club if you got no festival in mind)

Its not a “festival” but I would hands down go to Burning Man, I’ve been going the last 7 years and it is by far my favorite cultural event. It’s not about the music for me but about the people, the interactive art and explosive creativity and self expression.

➢Lastly, regarding this mix, can you tell us a little bit of your thought process behind choosing the tracks you chose?

I have just moved to Los Angeles in the last two weeks so this mix is based off that feeling. I took a lot of inspiration from my new surroundings, the desert, tall palm trees, wide open roads. While looking for music, a story formed in my head; California dreaming. The reverb fueled and distort heavy mix tells the story of a mysterious cowboy traveling across country in search of greener pastures. The search for a new home, serenaded by a myriad of nostalgic guitar riffs and whispers of familiar voices all heard on the open road. Such a journey can be a lonely one, but romance can be found in the unknown too. The sounds chosen for this mix are ones that complement the visuals around me getting to know the freeways and blue skies out West.
