Dekmantel Podcast 018 - Christian S

The aim of this Dekmantel podcast series is to shine a light on exceptional DJs talents, and that is just what we are doing with this new one from Christian S. The German has been making people dance at parties in Cologne since the 90s and is a wild selector who tightly knits together house and techno with all sorts of carefully unearthed treats from South Africa, the world of psychedelic disco and plenty of modern grooves in between. As a producer he is at home on the trendsetting Comeme and has been championed on Boiler Room and Beats in Space before now. He is also the man various Comeme radio shows, so is no stranger to digging deep. The hour long mix Christian has put together is a blissed out and summery affair with loose analogue grooves, earthy drums and jangling melodies. It subtly shifts through the gears as it goes on, but never feels hurried and always retains a soulful and relaxing sense of wide open space. Littered with an organic African feel, it’s a perfect mix for sunset sessions as summer gets ever closer.
