Interview with GABRIEL LE MAR | On the Way to Ozora 2017 | 22/04/2017 by radiOzora

On our way to Ozora this Saturday afternoon our guide will be GABRIEL LE MAR of Saafi Brothers, who you can catch this summer both at Pumpui and The Dome.

GABRIEL LE MAR is a music producer, living in Frankfurt/Germany, releasing electronic music with a special focus on deep DubTech sounds and Dub inspired TechHouse.His mission remains the same today: exploring electronic music with a dub mindset. With an open mind and always in a search for fresh musical experiences, Gabriel Le Mar likes to integrate himself in different artistic constellations with his dub-inspired TechHouse project Dublocation as well as with the artistic collaboration with Dr. Motte. With his projects Saafi Brothers and Aural Float, Gabriel composed ambient, space and experimental sound scapes.
With Aural Float he worked on audiovisual concepts: as a team they did the artistic supervision of SPACENIGHT, a prototype of a TV-concept, utilizing spectacular film- and documentary footage from outer space with music made on earth. SPACENIGHT became a success on german television and soon reached cult status among the young night watchers until today. On his albums Gabriel produced tracks that are tailored for the dub inspired clubber, combining different playful approaches of Dub with the functionality and stringency of techhouse music. Bridges are built by energetic and minimal grooves. Solo and with his projects Gabriel Le Mar appeared at festivals like Time Warp, Deichbrand, Merkwürdiges Verhalten, Pollerwiesen, Reworks, Roskilde, Sziget, Tribal Gathering, Fusion, Hadra, Ozora…

THE SOUND OF GABRIEL LE MAR On the floor Gabriel is playing a set with live-overdubs that always celebrate the moment in a jam from DeepTechHouse and Techno. His DJ sets are traversed by soulful and minimal nuances. “Live i like using little mixers and other sound control tools in order to do real-time sound changes paying respect to the fact that every live situation has it´s own dynamics concerning the people, the acoustic situation in the room and of course emotional states of the people and me. I like using both: analog media like turntables and cd-players as well as digital equipment that makes it easy for me to bring the sound of my studio to and on the floor. Concerning energy and flow I love going through waves – flowing grooves, sometimes pushing and forcing, and deep soundscapes that make you dance and feel.”
