The Salon Des Amateurs associate steps up for The Ransom Note.
This month saw the release of a collaborative project on International Feel. ‘The Sound Of Glades’ is a joint effort of Jan Schulte and Niklas Rehme-Schlüter: a collection of ambient soundscapes, subtle pads, field recordings and soft drums. Jan Schulte aka Wolf Müller has amassed a reputation as a crafty producer without borders. From worldy percussion, eccentric wobbles and soothing melodies he has honed his sound, undpredictable by nature, each record is often different from the last. We caught up with him following the album release for an assorted mix of music which inspired the record – “music to do the sound of glades to” , as he puts it. Read the Interview here

Stream an new mix by producer, DJ and founder of Rejected and Green record label.
Joris Voorn has mastered the art of emotionally intelligent house music. In late 2014, his talents culminated in his stunning third album, Nobody Knows, which Billboard subsequently named the best dance/electronic album of the year.
While the LP showcased the Dutch producer’s penchant for stripped down songwriting and beat-less bliss, he’s since returned to his club roots, as evidenced by his new two-track EP, This Story Until Now. Listen the exclusive online premiere of Joris Voorn’s new EP.
Green will release This Story Until Now EP on July 1st, 2016.

Psychedelic sounds from one of techno’s finest innovators.
Luca Mortellaro has done more than most to broaden the idea of what techno can mean. Go back to 2009, and the first release on his label, Stroboscopic Artefacts. The Alpha Sampler was a mini compilation that featured three tracks with subtly spectacular sound design and an electrified beatless closer from Xhin, a Singaporean artist who became known for innovative techno transmissions. Bring things forward to the present day, and Stroboscopic Artefacts’ latest release is Self Mythology, Mortellaro’s third album, which features improvised vocals, flute and percussion from Jon Jacobs across nine deeply psychedelic tracks. Stroboscopic Artefacts describes itself as seeking “an incessant accretion of new ideas and new formal elements that must transcend any self-limiting expectations of genres.” In Self Mythology and its countless other exceptionally strong releases down the years, the label has clearly achieved its aim.
Indeed, as Mortellaro was setting up for this live session in our Berlin office he told us that the show is “mainly about expanding some territories that are part of the techno aesthetic.” Through his own releases Mortellaro has consistently found new ways to explore this idea, and he currently seems most excited by the possibilities of unifying electronic and acoustic instruments. He set up in front of a modular system, a mixer, a sequencer and some effects, while Jacobs performed vocal phrases, flute and percussion. The result felt like a singular collision of the past and the future.
