Lauer

From his currently dormant label Brontosaurus, which had a mission statement of showcasing his "weirdest musician friends", to his collaborations, which he is a big fan of doing despite joking it's "less fun when getting paid", everything Lauer puts his hand to is instilled with his distinctively intricate yet playful approach to music. Take last year's Tuff City Kids "Club Mix" of Fort Romeau's 'Cloche' that layers on the textures thick, but places an irresistibly bouncy melody at the forefront throughout.

Beyond Tuff City Kids, Lauer has been involved in deep house duo Arto Mwambe alongside Christian Beißwenger; 80s-synths driven project Hotel Lauer with his brother Jacob (see here for the adorable family photo that adorned their debut release); released collaborations with DJ Sotofett and Tim Sweeney; and more. Quite the discography.

We're delighted to present a Lauer mix to you for our In Session this week. Opening on Omar S' slaughterhouse-sampling 'XSE', it quickly loosens up into a smooth glide through celestial house. Listen below.

'Birsk' / 'Killian' is out now on Futureboogie
