Taking a break from my other projects to record a mix, just like in the good old times. Missed me? Don't answer that. I felt like putting together some spacy sounding house for a change. Detroit influences, twinkling arps, the works. Ending up with slightly more hard-edged jacking because you're worth it. Enjoy the music, support Ukraine, fight fascism, destroy "generative" "AI". Until the next ep...

It's 187 on an unsuspecting electro freak! Or that's how I think the lyrics for that song go. Could be wrong. Anyway, here are some of my recent electro favourites along with older niceties. Sorry that it's been so quiet on the mixing front, but I've been concentrating more on my own (attempts at) productions. Admittedly, I'm also broke af and can't afford to buy much new music, so send promos :P...

All my rude boys, impolite girls and blunt NB:s, get those gun fingers ready because this one's for you. I felt like mixing together a bunch of breakbeats for the new year, so here you go. We start up pretty chill and end up, err, at least slightly less chill I guess? Whatever, I hope you'll enjoy it. 2025 has mostly sucked but here's hoping 2026 will have something better in stock for us all. In...

Hi kids! Interested in spacey quirky synth-heavy acid-ish house music? No? Too bad, because that's all we got on the menu today. I'm back after a bit of a break with 15 downright jacktacular tracks mixed together for your convenience. Here's hoping you'll find them pleasurable. See you soon, end-of-year mix rush incoming. Got those quotas to meet (not really, but I intend to keep busy). Stay cool,...

Don't mind me, just clearing the backlog of higher BPM house tracks. That's it, that's the concept. No pretentious BS, only bangers. I also threw a bit of techno at the end because rules are there to be broken. Talk is cheap so just enjoy the sounds and I'll see you later. Support Ukraine, fight fascism, you know the drill.

As I'm currently on my summer vacation, I felt like throwing together a slow and chill mix. Something for cocktails at the pool etc etc, fill out your favourite cliché here. Disco, boogie, house, anything goes as long as the BPM is low. There's also a bit of "FM basslines vs Moog basslines" battle going on, you can choose the winner. Stay cool out there, support Ukraine, destroy fascism. DL: https...

Fresh back from the massive shindig that was Intergalactic FM Festival 2025, I've found myself stuck in electro mode. This means there's no choice but to crank out a mix of my recent favourites. ..and you should know by now that when I do electro, it won't be the slow'n'spacey kind. Strap in for an hour of non-stop in-your-face beats, strictly for real robots. More to come! Happy pride month, figh...

If the previous installment was dedicated to the quirkier side of house music, this time I'm taking it, for the lack of a better term, "back to basics". House as a genre is currently more or less on life support between fads and trends, but that doesn't mean there wouldn't be exceptions worth our attention. Here are 14 of them. You may notice some repetition of labels but what can I say, these peo...

As the previous episode was at least slightly a departure from the usual, I'd like to bring us back to the bread & butter of this series: "weird-ass house music I happen to like". OK, so maybe there's a bit of techno, boogie and whatever in there as well, but as we all know, genre purism is for babbies and amateurs. Enjoy! Support Ukraine, oppose fascism. On that note, happy trans day of visibilit...

Only for the headstrong.. I had this idea of going through my recent (and not-so-recent) archives for tracks falling outside of the BPM range I generally play. The result? A downright silly hodgepodge of eclectic high(ish) tempo madness. We got breakbeats, electro, techno.. Well take a listen and see what you can find, just don't take it too seriously. I had a (hard) ton of fun recording this, hop...

It's 2025 and the world is fantastically fucked. Fascism, climate, war, "AI" slop, the use of autotune still not prohibited by law in most countries.. I don't claim to possess all the answers, but what I can do is provide a moment of escapism. Who said one couldn't put out some disco heat in Ferburary? No one? Ok, carry on then. Have fun with the tunes and stay cool. Support Ukraine, help oppresse...

Third episode in a month, what is this insanity? Well I just wanted to catch up on unplayed tunes, as I've been concentrating on other projects for the better part of the year. There's still time to end 2024 with a bang, an electro bang to be exact. Many of my recent favourites in there, as usual all killer no whimper. Happy new year! Have a good one, try not to get hit in the face by any stray ex...

The end-of-year mixtape bonanza continues. Taking it slow this time with low-BPM jams. But beware, these ain't your average chill lo-fi beats to study to.. Mostly house, a bit of electro, who cares about genres anyway? There might still be one episode coming before ringing in 2025, we'll see! Happy holidays and lest we forget: Support Ukraine, destroy fascism. DL: https://drive.google.com/uc?expor...

Not sure what I gave you last Christmas, but this December you can expect a hard package of non-stop breakbeats str8 down that chimney m8! Some of the tracks might be familiar to those who witnessed my set at Evoke in Cologne earlier this year. What more can I say, the bangers should speak for themselves. Stay warm out there, support Ukraine, help destroy fascism. Special elite greetings to the pr...

Been a while since I was last on my mixing BS, sorry about that. The reason is that I've simply been keeping busy working on some tracks of my own. If you're very unlucky, you may even get to hear some of them somewhere in the near (?) future.. Anyhoo, in the meantime the world has kept going to shit as you all surely know. But what would be a better time for a little musical distraction? This tim...

The mandatory belated late summer disco(ish) mix is here. Somewhat eclectic stuff, mixed offhandedly in the intense heat, you know the deal. Back in the old days tracks like these would have gone into my "Hipster Disco" series. Alas, through the sands of time hipsters became suburban parents and new disco is now old hat. Won't stop me vibing on it though, perhaps you neither. Try to keep cool in t...

After spending the past month recovering from a nasty bacterial infection including hospitalization and all, I'm back stronger than ever. While I'm already in better health, this seems like the perfect excuse for banging out some SICK BREAKBEATS M8! A substantial intra-aural dose of Amenbreakizin is literally what the doctor ordered. Enjoy the tunes, support Ukraine, do your part in destroying fas...

And now for something at least marginally different. No relentless electro, hardcore for the headstrong or quirky analogue excursions, just a bit of good old straightforward house music. Remember house music? Fun fact, it actually used to be a thing. Perhaps sometimes it still is. Enjoy this cream of the genre's crop and have fun over on Easter holidays, if those are a thing for you. Support Ukrai...

15 electro killers, 0 fillers. What else is there to know? Look, I'll level with you: I'm hung over af right now and don't feel like typing, so I'll just cut this short. Besides, no one reads these descriptions anyway. If you are indeed reading this, I hope you'll enjoy the tunes. Support Ukraine, oppose Putler's Russia, destroy fascism, etc etc. DL: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=...

Usually at this point in the year I start these blurbs with something like "kicking in 20xx with some heavy hitting bangers yo!" Alas, this January we're taking it slow. Get ready for a low-tempo house trip with hints of disco, acid, analogue jams, faux-ethnic appropriation and what have you. Certainly a mixed bag, but in my time DJ sets weren't about repeating the same groove for 2 hours. I hope...

Hardcore is better than the things you like. This is simply an objective fact of life, but just to rest my case, I'm prepared to present exhibit number 168 to the jury. Let's face it, if your mix doesn't bring out the Mentasms at 00:43, are you truly even mixing? I'm joking of course. It's good to be back after a long hiatus, more to follow soon. Enjoy! Almost forgot: Make sure to keep supporting...

Recapitulation is occasionally required to ensure past lessons aren't forgotten. Hence, today's homework takes us back to the club house basics with which this series had its start almost exactly 12 years ago. Shuffled hihats, filtered loops, DJ tools played in their entirety for no discernible reason, My Little Pony samples.. It's all in the curriculum. Sorry about the current slow rate of droppi...

For those about to pujaka, I salute you. 17 tracks of breakbeat excellence, no bullshit. Everything from a bona fide 1992 hardcore classic to more modern bangers. What else needs to be said? Well, there are the mandatory friendly reminders for you to support Ukraine, vote out spineless leaders who fail to protect the civilized world, and help destroy Putler along with all who support him. Other th...

Your forecast for today is midly chill with a chance of acid rain. After a few episodes of crowdpleasers it's back to something slightly more cerebral. House music for grown-ups: no-nonsense drum machine patterns, raw synths, the occasional wistful melody line. A welcome respite between hordes of bangers, which will surely return in future installments. As always: enjoy the tunes, support Ukraine,...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a 13-headed fire breathing electronado? Ok spoiler alert, it's totally that last one. You should know the deal by now. 808s, rough bass lines, robot vocals, some hiphop references because if you're not into hiphop you're not into electro. Enjoy the bangers. Insert the standard bit about supporting Ukraine and crushing Putler along with his fascist supporters here...
