People have their personal rituals. Leaving the International Space Station Russian space travelers leftsome bread and salt as a welcome gift for their American colleagues. Tennis star Serena Williamsbounces the ball exactly five times before her first serve. Our beloved master of ceremony of techno music, Sven Väth, has a ritual as well: When the shadows on the island Ibiza grow longer and thenoise of the summer is about to fade away, he takes a couple of days off and reminisces the passingseason, the parties, the crowds and the music: What were the craziest, the most outrageous, mostbeautiful moments? Which situations, which encounters inspired me? What did we laugh about? Andof course: what was the best music? Which tracks accompanied me and my Cocoon People duringthose intense weeks? Väth assembles those magical tracks for the sixteenth time this year mergingthem into two and a half hour set. With "Sound of the 16th Season", Väth brings together friends from Cocoon´s environment, as well aslong time companions from all over the world and young, aspiring musicians. Väth opens with DJKoze's "XTC": Through a cloudy, blurry soundscape, a captivating melody begins to talk to us. Thisexceptional piece of music manages to merge contradictory feelings. Väth uses it to set an emotionalanchor, to what is at stake. Matthew Dekay plays a single cello chord to wait for a short moment.Those seconds of silence turns the track into a poetical starting signal. Väth stops the grooves harshlyand sets a new tone, with "Next Please" by Metaboman, a high-spirited, twisted, funny, electronicpolka. With the outrageous techno soul of Kevin Saunderson and Carl Craig the legendary Detroithonchos turn play into drama. Jacob Korn takes this thread and adds melodic Detroit sounds releasingthe tension with a jazzy, experimental gesture. With Leon Vynehalls reduced gospel, the set reaches aspiritual moment, which is driven on by Aaron with his wonderful, driving "Whatcha Say. The beautifulpassionate voice says: "That's what you say. Singing the line over and over again, it turns intoconfirmation, reminder and some kind of warning. With the pretty, quiet "Do not disturb Björn" Väthallows us to pause for a moment. Beloved for his delicate sound textures, John Tejada extends theshades of the subdued mood. Mattheis turns it into something different in a very subtle way, usingpenetrating strings with an anthem like quality. With Patrick Specke´s & Daze Maxim´s contribution,Väth brings the set down on the groove to move into the finale of the first part: "Drifting" by JacekSienkiewicz puts us with beautiful, delicate sounds in a state of childlike enchantment. Ricardo Tobarimplements this unique feeling using wider, soft, springy sounds, which let us float like a balloon. Väth´s second set takes off with Tim Green's "Eclipse": a happily boasting bassline leads us through a charming house groove. Alex Smoke transformed this curiosity into cockiness using vigorous acid sounds. Heartthrob breaks the playful energy with cool electronic sounds, which escalate into a furious snare drum thunderstorm. Tim Wright emerges further into inexhaustible deep space of electronic sounds, employing a screeching electro bassline with a twinkle in his eye. Deetron picks us up with overwhelmingly positive tribal sound and a beaming, unforgettable riff. With Bastinov Väth absorbs the emotional life of this track and adds more shades with fascinating violin sounds. Robert Hood transforms Bastinovs thoughtfulness with a brilliant synthesizer figure into an electrifying soul. Väth does an utterly surprising u-turn with a song by Swedish cult band The Knife, merging Afro-American Soul into highly sensitive Indie. Geeemans very special way to modulate his voice is reminiscent of the "Ba Ba Bah, Aha ha ha" from Väth's own, legendary "Electrica Salsa". Now we are in the frenzy of the night, it is time for Techno. Gary Beck pulls us into another world with a powerful groove and an epic hookline, Pig & Dan condense this mood to give the message "Universal Love". "Warehouse Memories" brings back recollections of crazed parties in abandoned factories. Väth clears the madness with Alex Bau´s hypnotic, flowing grooves. Dimi Angelis sets a soulful final chord with a beautiful riff merging fragile violin sounds and a shrill 8-bit synth, so the set can fade away in a charmingly mellow piece of Petar Dundov. The bread and the salt of the Russians is only a welcome gift. "The Sound of the 16th Season" unites past, present and future. Both CDs provide an opportunity to remember the best moments of the summer as the storms of autumn sweep around the houses. But it's not just about the past, but also about tomorrow: The rousing tracks make you looking forward to 2016: the dancing, the laughter, the sun, the beautiful people and the contented, generous smile our Sven!
