Noorden Mixtape Series

After a short break with our mixtapes-series we’re back with an hour-long field trip to »super-slomo-shmoovy« beats that feels like diving into a warm and groovy summer breeze. Secret, mystic, hidden, invisible – Whoisthis? Is it you? It’s us!

The 23rd edition of our mixtape series was curated by @alexketzer – Noorden’s »head of visual appearance«. 14 powerful rough diamonds, pressed to a batch of 62 minutes, topped with a dose of freak-out-attitude. Enjoy!

The 24th episode of our podcast series was mixed by @martinschmitz, a Cologne based DJ, carpenter (stellamoebel) and curator (microgalerie). In his DJ-sets, he loves to create atmospheres full of love and deep music – sometimes a little bit like the woods and the meadows. It’s not hard to find his musical roots in this mixtape, because there’s always a kind of »The Sound Of Cologne« between the lines that makes you think of dancing »Total Confusion« all night long – even though in a deep’n’dubby way.

As part of our collaboration (a split tape that will be released on june 4th) with the Bristol based @birkhouse, we’re swapping some mixtapes today: @alexketzer has put together Birkhouse Mix 08 and @canoeclub has recorded Noorden Mixtape 22 – one hour of finest »99% vinyl-only« club-smasher in the typical »Rewind Forward« and »Idle Hands« style.

Just a month to go until summer officially starts and maybe you’re already dreaming of some beautiful days and nights on the beach like we do. So it’s the perfect time for a well-crafted selection of dubby and dreamy tracks as a soundtrack for the last walks through foggy forests and rainy landscapes. This vinyl-only-mix was recorded by Muenster based DJ and promoter @phil-latch, who’s responsible for the great ØR-nights at Munsters finest club Der Stur.

February 20, 2014 – what a perfect date for the 20th episode of our mixtape series with 20 special tracks from the last 8 years of Noorden and Weark (our label from 2006 to 2011). We tried to catch the spirit and the flow of these days in the mix and the result is a strange kind of a club mix containing one third unreleased and forthcoming stuff, one third Noorden related and one third Weark related tracks. Tune in, blow a fuse and dance with us. Yours, the Noorden hood. TRACKLIST 1. Suod Ulbeba – Ytumm {forthcoming Noo_Ltd11} 2. Phoebe - Emotional Debauchery {unreleased} 3.
