Fifteen years on Ibiza and fifty years alive: in 2014 Sven Väth celebrates two major birthdays!


With his new collection 'Sound of the 15th Season.' Väth has left behind the two-part night and day concept of some of the earlier seasons, For the first time, he mixes a continuous, nearly three-hour set, Väth starts off a with delicate house tune from Stimming and the charming, flirtatiously naive voice of Piper Davis, The lovely piano tones captivate the attention while psychedelic moments arouse curiosity, Väth finishes the short opening sequence with another exceptional track: within Alex & Digbys "Kudlak" children pray to a number of saints, and their sincerity and seriousness appeals to us deep in our inside, Väth gives us a moment to feel where we stand in this point in time, Then the party begins.


The next chapter is devoted to a classic, wonderfully level-headed New York house sound creating a peaceful haven in Ibiza's restlessness, Leon Vynehall draws us with gentle chords to the dance floor, D'Lonely Al adds a euphoric note, Roman Flugel & Simian Mobile Disco set the sounds like dots of color on a canvas, They suspend this impressionistic, playful approach with a strong, emotional bass line, Sebastian Mullaert melds these scattered energies in a wonderful, cardinal number with Karim Sahraoui adding multifaceted emotions, With his nervous funk Elbee Bad adds physicality and sex appeal, With the fascinating "Rezo" by Marcel Philipp, the set reaches a first climax, Being full of hope and promise the hookline is directed into the future, yet it does not loose contact to the here and now, The Lauer brothers combine the playful approach of the first tracks with a powerful, driving groove, With David August's epic "Epicurus" the acoustic space gains depth and richness, Until now the set was a family affair, now you immerse yourself in the crowd and get carried away.


With DJ Koze's Remix of Moderats "Bad Kingdom", Väth revives the combination of pop and psychedelica and moves into the third chapter, Koze dissolves the anthemic pop song in poetic, trippy sounds, Fun and easy turn into rapid and uninhibited, Reboot's bassline spin the dancers around, With his bright, crystal-clear sounds Benjamin Damage nets this turmoil, Dast manages to square the circle: he sounds physical and empathetic like a Strictly-Rhythm-track, yet his explosive energy rather reminds of thriving techno, With Sable Sheep the beats get complicated and dense, Väth synthesizes the heterogeneous energies on the dance floor, Wonderfully straight, the bassline of Gary Beck moves into the track, you feel its razor-sharp, driving force in your fingertips and your tows, Väth reaches the finale: "Sand Storm" by Pig & Dan has the dimensions of a natural event, Gusts of sand grains form a massive sound wave that is sublime and a little scary at the same time, Now everything is possible: Jurek Przezdziecki & Jacek Sienkiewicz turn to a jazzy tonality, Daniel Stefanik counters with a pitch- black sentiment, its elegance being broken by a bizarre creaking and whistling, With this unconditionally demanding machine music we have reached the climax, Transforming this extreme tension in a thrilling acid track, Techno innovator Luke Slater creates clarity and defines a target, MMM pull around the helm, with a fanfare they spread a funny, winking euphoria, Slam grant us a breather with a timeless party track, Sawlin & Subjected break into the scene with futuristic, intricate industrial sounds, At the finale it is Ko?lsch ?s turn: the Dane reconciles madness and beauty with an oblique, funny squeak with an amazing vocal a la James Blake.


Väth is able to excel his intuition for electronic sounds just another time, He puts on a record and knows immediately what is going on in the track's heart, In 2014 Väth gets rid of some ballast that has been piling up in club music's language, As in Far Eastern physical and spiritual prac
