For 5 years now DJ Nartak has been the
sound pilot of the weekly program "Nightflight" on Klassik Radio.
During the years a whole sound cosmos has taken shape, which stays unparalleled
in the German communities. DJ Nartak is popular yet respected for his courage
to lead into the depths of musical spheres, where genre boundaries dissolve and
blend together in unexpected lightness. That is precisely why at Klassik Radio his
skills are in the right place, because here young listeners learn to appreciate classical
arrangements and instrumentation through modern ambient music.
This maturation process can also be
found in Nartak's CD compilations. After the acoustic journey through the deep
sea on predecessor Volume 03, the immensity of the night sky now takes center
stage: Heavenly sounds and distant worlds that fascinate and give a slight idea
of the inconceivable silence of the universe. Myriads of light spots in the
sky, sparkling, mysterious, alluring, like the sounds DJ Nartak has chosen for
his Nightflight Vol.04. Even for experts of the Chillout and Lounge scene, this
compilation is a real asset. Artists from all around the world, stars from
different scenes fit together in weightless elegance.
This Nightflight has an air of the extraordinary,
like a constant, joyful discovery of new spaces. Its great strength lies in the
atmospheric perfection, majestic and sublime like the night sky. Please take
your time to holistically feel both CDs. You will be refreshed,
rejuvenated, and return to Earth with charged batteries and the feeling of
mental stimulation. Prominent pre-test listeners have already called it the
best DJ Nartak compilation ever. It seems that the "pearl diver" has
made his name.
DJ Nartak
has been travelling around the world working
as a DJ since 1990. In addition to the Nightflight on Klassik Radio, he is
known for a variety of other projects, such as "Globality",
"Liquid Sound", "Sleepless ..." and "Groove On,
Earth!". He was co-founder and label manager of Jubilee Records, Abstrait
Music and Free Form. Since 2006 DJ Nartak has had his home base on Lanzarote.
Interview:
What can you tell us about the titles
and artists that you chose for the compilation?
Basically, these are my highlights from
the last two years. To me they reflect the Nightflight vibe in a wonderful way
and make the concept literally audible. There are definitely some surprises
here, which are otherwise hardly represented in other Ambient/Chillout
compilations. For example "Sven Weisemann" and "Kollektiv
Turmstrasse" are from the deep house genre, Josete Ordonez's "Objetos
perdidos" is a pure acoustic guitar piece, the "Tytingvåg
Ensemble" comes from the Jazz scene, "Pulshar" is Spanish
Dub-Styling and "Jamshied Sharifi & Hassan Hakmoun" belong to the
world music section ... In general, the global group of artists on Nightflight
Vol.04 features many new names and hot insider tips. The compilation offers a
representation of 12 countries...
How would you describe the musical journey
and how did it develop?
At a quite
early stage in the developing process, the compilation became a very wide
atmospheric picture that I took up and tried to incorporate in the title
selection and the mix. I want to invite the listener to lean back and listen to
the relaxing and inspirational sounds. When the first cover design with space
motifs arrived, this visual component perfectly fitted in with the project. To
me the compilation truly represents our universe: sparkling, luminous, and
infinite. I personally think the sound is very modern, but also somehow
timeless. In other words, as the imagery of the compilation already shows: It’s
like the vacuum that surrounds all the worlds...
