The Cocoon team around Sven Vath has chosen the motto "Cocoon Heroes" for the twelfth Cocoon Ibiza season. Not as a self-adulation, as in the end all participants - whether they are behind the decks, the bar or, above all, on the dancefloor - are the true heroes of the night. And as the official warm-up for this mega event series, Cocoon Recordings is providing us with the now fifth edition of the Ibiza Summer Mix. One of the true highlights in this season will be the performance of Adam Beyer. The Drumcode label head who lives in Stockholm is, together with Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills and Sven Vath, one of the most influential figures in electronic dance music for more than fifteen years now. Often being a guarantor for stringent and hard Techno as a producer, Beyer proves his musical complexity as a DJ with an energetic tour de force between hypnotic-percussive Tech House, Dub and Acid, and finally surprises the listener with a distinct affinity to meaningful vocal samples. With some brilliant tracks from Function, Radio Slave, Joel Mull, Paul Ritch, Jesper Dahlb ck and, first and foremost, with Beyer's collaboration with Alan Fitzpatrick ("Human Reason"), the sweat is most certainly going to be pouring over the dancefloor. Dorian Paic, Frankfurt resident and co-owner of the record store authority Freebase as well as label head of Raum...Musik, has been an essential part of the Rhein Main scene for many years now and is part of the line up at the Grand Opening party at Amnesia. Those who have already experienced Paic as a DJ know about his matchless talent to make tastefully reduced but nevertheless unmistakeable Tech House jewels tell their own very unique story. With his hypnotic and relaxed mix, Dorian os-cillates within an artistic synthesis that distinctively bows to the roots of Minimal Techno, and the selection of tracks from artists like Baby Ford & Zip, Daniel Bell, DJ Sneak or Daniel Stefanik reveals the true connoisseur. Especially in the consonance of those two very different types of elaboration of modern electronic dance music, the listeners will already be enchanted at home, by this utopia of this collectively created power between the sun, the sea and the sound.
