Luis Leon ‘My Ears Have Tears’

Artist: Luis Leon
Title: My Ears Have Tears
Label: Nie Wieder Schlafen
Cat #: NWS033
Format: Digital
Release Date: October 10th 2021

With over 2 years in the making, the debut of Luis Leon on Nie Wieder Schlafen feels like a long overdue salvation. The highly explorative mind of Luis (Chapter 24, Kindisch, L’enfant terrible, Prosa Verso) has always fascinated us – and while the right moment has taken it’s time, his sound was always admired in some shape and form. At last, we were finally able to capture his vision in our framework, which allowed his sound to prosper in new ways. With incredible patience and careful selection throughout the last years of communication, Luis Leon’s debut comes with the name of “My Ears Have Tears”. The expansive EP holds 5 tracks, including a non-stop adventure with 3 deep and unforgiving progressive stories, gently held together in between 2 ambience projects, the later of them in collaboration with new and returning NWS talent Haider Uppal.

From the main title track to the fast and rhythmic patterns of “It Won’t Be Long”, Luis captures an array of experimental grooves, which do not shy away from breaking boundaries and mixing various influences of his own. Filled with textures, vocal inputs and heavy dancefloor patterns, the release holds true to the sound of Nie Wieder Schlafen, while moving on to explore different sides of the atmospherical world of electronic music.

“My Ears Have Tears” strikes with a cinematic and pulsating bassline synth that sets an eerie tone for the production to move within. Transforming and almost liquid pads, filter through the mix and create broad soundscapes, that layer above the bassline, that is further supported by very wet shaker patterns and muffled texture compositions.

The ideas of hypnotic base rhythms and long drifting sounds do extend to the next track called “Take the Gun”. Wunderous vox-like pads open and close in a breathing-like sense, while a ruthless and quick bass/kick pattern fills out the low end space, to build some heavy momentum. Long-lasting, almost noisy spaces fill the tension within the groove, while the fading but long one note pads decay in the abyss with subtle but effective glides. It invokes a mysterious space that is explored with excitement.

The core dance tracks are finished up by a tempo-rising final production, which pulls the concept of the release through an ecstatic state and intensifies all described ideas to eleven. The ambiences supported by snappy hit patterns prepare the listener to buckle up for a quicker experience, that holds true to Luis’ unforgiving rhythmic bombardment, that works so well in an ambience filled space. Almost goofy drum patterns put into such a quick state, are liquified through the countless atmospheres, which Luis layers on top of each other and seasons the whole production with textures and influences from his love of japanese anime. While the most experimental track of them all, we believe “It Won’t Be Long (To Dance With You)” shows the most of Luis’ character and what he is inspired by. The main titles of the track are blessed by the release introducing “Understanding of Re” and the EP conclusion “Des Magiciens” (in collaboration with Haider Uppal), which both play a huge role in setting the framework of this whole extended play. The experience of going through the whole release does alter the experience of all these tracks, especially opening up the listeners for the final track, that might bring so much more joy, when understood in its full concept.

Legendary Ibiza Club Eden launches partnership with Leeds Biggest Weekly Event Projekt

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ProjektLeeds

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/projekt_leeds/

Life without Projekt has been a life without the most colourful and theatrical party in the North of England. But finally, the much loved brand is back, bigger and bolder than ever thanks to an exclusive partnership over four events with iconic White Isle superclub Eden Ibiza. These four special dates are part of Eden’s UK tour and will see some of that special Ibiza magic come to the UK, while Projekt’s wild indoor festival also returns to the O2 Academy Leeds with all new levels of mind-blowing production each and every Saturday from September.

After two sell out collaborative events in the past, 2021 will bring four more historic parties with Eden Ibiza. Since 1999, the world renowned club has had vibrant dance floors powered by a celebrated sound system with an unpretentious crowd that really likes to cut loose. Dancing at Eden is the very essence of Ibiza and it regularly hosts superstars such as Pete Tong, Disclosure, MK and Dubfire.

Eden’s ethos is shared by Projekt, where lots of colour, explosive production and eccentric characters make it a much more involving experience than you’d get in your average darkened club. Projekt x Eden will take things to a whole new level for Leeds on October 9th, November 27th and February 12th with a 2022 show TBC and headline line-ups still to be announced.

Say the Eden team, “Eden are once again delighted to work with the Projekt team for Leeds and we are set to take things up a notch this year to really push the boundaries further. After such a difficult time for everyone it is more important than ever that our industry supports one another, we will all come back stronger together. We miss the music, we miss the crowds, we miss you most of all. Make sure to check out Projekt x Eden for some unique surprises. See you on the dance floor!”

Adds Voodoo Events Director Dave Chan, “Working in partnership with Eden, one of the biggest super club brands in the world, has been an awesome experience for us. The passion, attention to detail and energy they bring to any event is infectious. We’ve all had a rough time through the pandemic, but we’re coming back with a bang with 4 super sized Leeds collaborations in the next year! Each event will have it’s own Eden headliner as well as festival scale production to ensure the parties give everyone a bit of that Ibiza flavour.”

Projekt has always made sure each weekly event feels like an indoor festival, with a widescreen musical remit and cutting edge entertainment all for a reasonable price. The Main Arena music policy covers all things house, with the occasional selection of big name headliners including MK, Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens, Danny Howard, Endor, Format B, Shadow Child and more, while Room 2 aka the Underground is R&B & hip-hop hosted by well loved residents.

Voodoo Events started in Leeds in 2006 when two rival promoters joined forces. Since Projekt’s conception in 2014, there have been over 200 events, 300,000 party people entertained, 1.5 tonnes of confetti dropped and 500 miles of paper streamers wrapped around a thronging dance floor. This season the team is out to set a new benchmark with even more giant LED screens and visuals, CO2 jets, confetti blasters, streamers, giant balloons, dancers, curtain drops and so much more, all to ensure the most spectacularly immersive and sensory stimulating party of your lives.

Are you ready to catch up on more than a year’s missed dancing at the most explosive party in the North? Then act fast to secure your tickets as demand is expected to be higher than ever.

PROJEKT x EDEN IBIZA:

The relationship between Eden & Voodoo started from a chance discussion between Dave & one of the marketing team at Eden. Eden wanted to keep their Winter profile to remain strong in the UK. They loved the look and feel of Projekt, so the collaboration was born. Projekt and Eden share the same indoor festival feel, so the brands aligned perfectly. After 2 amazing sell out shows, we’ve ramped things up with 4 huge events planned in the next 12 months, keeping Eden at the forefront of UK clubbers mind’s

Ocaso Festival announces special 5th anniversary event deep in Costa Rican Jungle

From January 6th to 11th 2022

Web: https://bit.ly/Ocaso2022 / IG: @ocasofestival

Adriatique, Hot Since 82, Seth Troxler, Amelie Lens, Andreas Henneberg, Colyn, Doc Martin, Eelke Kleijn, Magdalena, Farrago, La Fleur, Lauren Lane, Magit Cocoon, Oostil, Space Motion and Worthy

Iconic sets that soundtrack a flame-red sun as it rises from the horizon. Intimate parties in a steamy jungle amphitheatre surrounded by deep greens and hanging vines. Afternoon dances around a glistening pool in the hot sun… Welcome to Ocaso, one of the most revered and soul-enriching festivals in the world. Having worked closely with the Ministerio De Salud in Costa Rica to meet all possible health and safety regulations, this stunning festival will mark its fifth anniversary with a series of extra special surprises from January 6th to 11th 2022, across indoor and outdoor venues like nothing you have ever experienced before. Ocaso is proud to be the most affordable festival in Costa Rica and tickets go on sale on October 5th. A full six-day festival pass starts at just $109 for residents of Latin America and $159 for international guests.

The expanded 6 day event will take place 6th – 11th of January, so visitors can maximise their time in Tamarindo, a true Central American paradise. Of course, its usual dedication to classy and cultured sounds remains with headliners including Amelie Lens, Adriatique, Hot Since 82, Seth Troxler, Samá Abdulhadi, Lauren Lane, Doc Martin, Magdalena, Eelke Klein, Colyn, Space Motion, La Fleur, Magit Cacoon, Andrea’s Henneberg, Farrago, Øostil, Qrion, Worthy, and many more to be announced in phase 2.

Word of mouth from those lucky enough to have attended this idyllic festival has made Ocaso one of the most cherished underground events in the world. It brings together a world class mix of DJs with friendly locals and music loving heads from around the globe, all in a paradise-found setting. With a focus on intimate dancing experiences, Ocaso is celebrated for its special sunrise and sunset sessions, sets on the beach, in a magnificent jungle amphitheatre surrounded by lush flora and fauna, gatherings by the pool and for the unique energy the whole event has. The natural beauty of Costa Rica never fails to provide a stunning backdrop and immersive setting for this most natural and escapist of adventures.

Say the team, “Ocaso does not support or believe in exclusion of any type. This is not what we believe the underground is about and it does not respect the roots of this movement. Ocaso does not have a VIP area, does not have a VIP pass, does not have bottle service or anything that is not to be enjoyed by every single attendee. We belieev we are all the same and no walls should be placed between us.”

In this anniversary year expect many upgrades as well as several surprises that will not be revealed until the nights of the festival, major upgrades to projectors for a serious increase in the visual experience and changes to the shape and layout of the jungle venue to increase the flat dance space and accessibility to a larger amphitheater.

Importantly, as well as offering a platform for the next wave of amazing talents coming up through the ranks around the world, Ocaso prides itself on being a safe, diverse and welcoming space for all genders, sexualities and races. Recognising that this is where dance music culture started, Ocaso is a place where freedom of expression is embraced as a defining characteristic. Everyone is welcome, and costumes are encouraged….

Says festival director Devin Ellis, “At our last show, Maceo Plex came back out and played with Doc Martin for one of our trademark sunrise sessions until almost 9am. There were still 4000 people dancing when they finished. Magdalena also had an amazing extended set on Sunday playing over four hours and it was one of the best sets anyone had ever witnessed. There will be even more magic in the air for this special event in 2022, so we do hope you can join in the family.”

Ocaso is a “leave no trace” event in a country that aims to be carbon neutral by the end of 2021. Attendees clean up the beach in Tamarindo before and after the festival every year and are constantly looking for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of our festival. While in Costa Rica everyone is mindful of water conservation, wildlife, and the trash they create while visiting. These things are very important to Costa Ricans, and to everyone involved with Ocaso.

Next to the music, attendees can sign up and go enjoy some of the natural wonders of Costa Rica with a group of other attendees as well as taking part in various group outings during several days of the festival.
