[Mix]: Rocko Garoni – NovaFuture Blog Mix March 2023

 

DJ:
Rocko Garoni

 

Introduction:
Rocko Garoni has been socialised by Bremen’s Drum ‘n Bass scene and the Berlin Techno from the late 90s. Well experienced, he transfers his sounds into future – raw, trippy and driving.

Starting his career in the early 2000s as a DnB vinyl DJ, he often melds Breaks and straight Techno.

With his positive energy and his charismatic sounds he shakes every venue. With CDJs and also turntables, he loves to test out musical boundaries.

While leaving his mark on almost every puzzle piece in the scene, Rocko also started as a music producer. During the last five years he turned his sound to his favorite likes. As a gear freak Rocko discovers always a new way to create his kind of Techno. His releases are signed on Second State, Etruria Beat, Odd Recordings, Tresor Records.

Press Info:
Memento Mori is Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album and its first as a two-piece lineup of Gahan and Gore, following co-founder Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher’s tragic passing in 2022. Produced by James Ford, with additional production work by Marta Salogni, Memento Mori’s gestation took place during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes inspired directly by that period. The album’s 12 tracks chart a vast expanse of moods and textures, from its ominous opening to its closing resolve—running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and joy, and hitting myriad points between.

Press Info:
It’s time to make Safe Space a home for other artists this year!

The first 9 releases of the label were Ackermann releases only, but from now on there will be Eps by other artists as well and we celebrate this occasion with the labels first VA “Safe Spaces”.

A few of the artists who contribute upcoming Ep releases in the pipeline get their introduction on this VA, which was carefully selected over the course of over half a year and we really took our time to make sure this VA was not just another compilation with randomly placed tracks by cool artists, but tracks we truly 100% love, stood the test of time for us and in combination tell a strong story written by groove ranging from jackin’ to dubby or housier vibes, while not focussing on function solely but on soul and vibes.

Label boss Ackermann sets the tone with the floating ‘Rooftop’ showcasing his trademark tom, chord and vocal stab workout in a windy top of the city vibe. Hotly tipped australian up- and comer William Kiss follows with ‘Yo’ a sub heavy peak time chord roller, designed to make your (safe) space sweaty and Gaven from New York gets the floor ‘Jackin’ in true banger style!

OFF / GRID speeds up the bpm and turns compilation in a more hypnotic direction with ‘Looping Louie’, this guy cant do no wrong at the moment! Berlins Safe Space dependance in form of Black Mirror Park and Antic Soul both perfectly encapsulate the bouncing dub techno vibe we all crave with their tracks ‘Mangroove’ and ‘Naked Space’ and Jancen from Belgium gets even deeper down the dub zone (braze yourselves for his upcoming EP!) before Berlin House heads Jones&Roth close out the album in style with ‘Kleiner Haschi’, a true pearl of silky smooth goodness.

Welcome to Safe Spaces!
