Nachtblumen Podcast #9 Inland

Ed Davenport also known as Inland is a british DJ, Producer and founder of the Counterchange Recordings label based in Berlin. As Inland today his busy output stands for purist and inherently progressive rhythmic work, grounded in the romantic traditions of early techno yet driven by a constant search for new ground, textures and studio-techniques.

The last few years have been very eventful for Ed. He has been successfully running his label and expanding the catalogue with excellent contributions from known and unknown talent, as well as travelling around the world to play music, while he has been also getting in touch with the contemporary art world more by collaborating with different artists for various art projects, which have been exhibited around Europe. Some highlights of Ed’s dedicated hard work include the release of his outstanding debut album ''An Invitation To Disappear'' in collaboration with swiss artist Julian Charrière on Ostgut Ton's sub label A-TON, and the release of a massive VA compilation record on his very own Counterchange label featuring artist such as Efdemin, Peter van Hoesen, BNJMN, Joel Mull, Distant Echoes and many more!

The latest project of Inland is a series of events called Arch, which are very cozy and special nights at Prince Charles in Berlin dedicated to live electronics, electro-acoustic and experimental concerts. After a successful first edition of Arch featuring BNJMN, Pornceptual resident Jamaica Suk and a stunning b2b performance of Inland himself together with film music composer John Guetler, Ed continued to invite inspiring artists such as Magna Pia, Mattheis and coming up next are Perm, Johanna Knutsson, Fred Mann and Amandra. Do not miss to experience Arch if you are a true fan of electronic music in all of its facets.

To me, Ed will always hold a special place in my heart, not only because I have always had deep respect for his work, but also because he was one of the first to believe in my concept and be part of the first Nachtblumen experience back in 2018. Now, two years later, I am happy to be hosting Ed for my 3rd birthday with a special contribution to the podcast series. For those of you who truly know Ed as an artist, you will know that he is quite versatile in his music taste and expression, and for those who don’t you are in for a treat. Today I give you a warm start into the new season with a heartful rhythmic set by an artist who can easily find a place in your heart after experiencing their music and vibe.
