Beats In Space is a radio show mixed live by Tim Sweeney and guests in New York City on WNYU 89.1 FM every Tuesday night from 10:30pm to 1:00am. Recently Juan Atkins was their guest, and he used John Beltran's remix of Efdemin's 'The Pulse' in his mix. The originator of techno playing a Curle, coolness!!

District One remix of 'Crypt' (Métisse04) on Joris Voorn mix-cd

People that heard his mix in the Fuse Presents series a few years ago, know that Joris Voorn isn't the kind of DJ that just mixes the latest 12 hits on a CD. We were pretty excited when a new mix from him got announced, and even more when it became clear he was going to include a Curle. He included the District One remix of 'Crypt' (originally by Dub Kult on Curle010) in his amazing selection.

Anthony Collins 'Reeves' (Curle013) on Sven Väth mix-cd

This summer it was already the 9th year in a row Cocoon was hosting its club night at Amnesia in Ibiza. Every year at the end of the season Sven Väth releases a double-cd on which he presents the tracks that did it for him during all of the summer. That's why i'm really excited that he decided to include a Curle!

Dub Kult 'Crypt' (Curle010) in Richie Hawtin podcast for RA

The story behind: Denis Karimani 'Melted' (Curle011)

We never told anyone (and probably nobody ever noticed), but 'Melted' is in fact a sort of live rework of 'Character Melting Pot' (Curle002) that you can listen to here:

A pretty funky, piano driven cut.

When i met Denis for the first time when he was performing in Brussels as Remute, he told me that he was playing it in a totally different version now. Since he wasn't sure if i would even recognise it, he promised to give me a sign during his gig when he was about to start playing it. So i recorded it with my lousy phone. Watch the roof go off:

We both agreed afterwards that we had to release this "version", and baptised it 'Melted' - probably also because of the terrible heat during the party that night.

Here you can see Sven Väth playing 'Melted':
