Guide: Lehult

How important is it for you to combine high-profile names like Prosumer and Boo Williams with local guys like yourselves at your parties?

LC: For us, we're in a financial position where we can get these guys to play with us. Most of them are people who have inspired us, from whom we've learned a lot about music and DJing and all these things. It's just an amazing opportunity to be able to play a warm-up for or close after one of these guys we admire. We try to go through a mix of the bigger acts, while slipping in people who are up-and-coming as well. We've had Galcher Lustwerk and Shanti Celeste in the past. We do smaller parties where we look to book local DJs and friends. Being able to curate a party is a great opportunity to push people you like and show them to the people who go out here. Many people didn't know who Shanti was before they came to our party and after they were like 'who's this girl? She's playing amazing'. That was just really nice to hear that.

Do you have plans to throw parties outside of Germany?

LC: That will be the next step. A few of us are playing abroad every once in a while. Liem has taken off quite a bit, He's over in France every other weekend. He's playing in the UK too. DJ Assam has played Lisbon recently. Our Hamburg night at PAL will be our flagship event but we'll sneak in a few other parties in the city. We've just spread out to Berlin where we've done two parties so far. It's more of a techno-leaning club but they seem to like our house vibes because we've been invited back. The next one is end of June.

Finally, tell us a bit about the mix and the tracks you've included.

LC: We decided to narrow it down to tracks that are going to come out on Lehult from now until the beginning of next year really. As you can hear, it goes from two different places. It starts with a hip hop beat and then it goes into groovy house, vocals, then into deeper territories before fading out with some slower jams. We really wanted to showcase this whole spectrum we put out on the label. I do think we have a sound but I don't think it's narrowed down to any genres. It's got tracks from the third, fourth and fifth EPs and two tracks from my new one. There's one or two from Liem and Eddie's EP, one from Johan and a curveball from DJ Slyngshot from the 10th release. Also another track from me which is a contender for the Lehult sub record we'll do. It's what's hot for us now and an overview of what we've been doing.

Assam: People who are going to listen to it probably haven't heard of us before so we thought it'd be nice to give an all-round view of past, present and future.
