Put on those dancing shoes, or your regular shoes if you don't own a designated pair, or hell, go barefoot for all I care. The point is that this time we're going disco! On the slab we have Marxist disco by the amazing MLDE, a downright cheeky edit of a certain genre classic from Rebolledo & Paulor, scorching piano heat courtesy of Pagliara & Snax and much more. Oh and happy new year and all that....

Some sick house tracks just dropped. And I mean literally, as I recorded this while recovering from COVID (again). Don't worry, I'm all better now. At least it gave me a good excuse to spend quality time at the ol' DJ station. The mix mostly concentrates on the laidback and melodic side of things, but I couldn't resist the urge to throw in some more cheeky bits. Ending up with Your Planet Is Next...

The pujaka is strong with this one. 15 tracks of top quality breakbeats m8, need I say more? Headnodding guaranteed or your money back. Enjoy. P.S. Don't forget to give your support to Ukraine in destroying the fascist invaders. DL: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=17jZ59Pj_Trj-04yPGlW726zjCGMMIABV 01.

Don't call it a comeback or something to that effect. Been super occupied with other music related activities lately, leading me to neglect my mixing duties to an embarassing degree. But never mind that, I'm back now and intend to crank out a fair bunch of these in the near future. This episode provides you a somewhat eclectic selection ranging from hip hop influenced MPC workouts to house exotica...

Don't mind me, just clearing that pandemic backlog. This time it's all about working those SICK ELECTRO BANGERS M8!! 19 tracks, all killer no filler. Too much? Possibly! Sorry if the mixing is slightly lazy at times, in my defence the heatwave made this recording session nearly unbearable. Thanks, fossil fuels. Reminder: donate to Ukraine and vote out muppets like Scholz & co once you have the cha...

As a counterpoint to the accumulating summer heat, I'm captaining you off to a cool cruise through the still waters of smooth yacht house. Err, what? I don't even know what the fuck I'm on about. Anyway, this one contains not one but TWO numbers from Clive from Accounts, the hottest name in the genre at the moment if you ask me (and why wouldn't you). The rest of the lineup ain't too shabby either...

Today's concept: breakbeats and more breakbeats, just in time for the May 1st hellraising. From melodic stuff to darker bangers, your boy has got you covered. No time for typing more BS, got mixes to do. Oh and Putin's regime and its supporters can still go eat a bag of whatever genitalia they find the least appealing. 01.

The way I see it, when the music stops evil has won. That's my excuse for releasing this upbeat disco mix at this point in time, anyway. Well that and the long Easter weekend us lucky people not currently getting cluster bombed are able to enjoy. So dig these sounds while donating to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine or campaining against your corrupt leaders who keep buying gas from Putler's genoci...

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you. Wait, have I done that bit already? Anyway, back at it after a small hiatus. This time with some machine heavy house and techno (the good kind). To keep things from getting too serious I also threw in some silly acid towards the end. I think we could all use a bit of decent music to escape the horrid reality for a while. Some statements need to be...

A musical pandemic rages on. The hideously mutated business techno variant is spreading at approximately 313x the rate of the original Detroit strain. To avoid overloading the capacity of Twitter feeds and comment sections with symptomatic douchebaggery, it is imperative to increase the public's immunity to terrible music by administering a booster dose of quality electro. This regimen is dispense...

Oh hi, didn't see you there because you're not physically in the room. I'm back in mixing business after spending some time enjoying a brief bout of semi-normal living between plague waves. Time to hunker back down and espace into the sweet comfort of music. To that end, check out this particularly escapist mix of mystic pseudo-tropical low BPM groovers. Enjoy and stay safe.

I've got good news and bad news for you. Bad news first: the special episode I was planning has been postponed as it requires some special preparation. I hope to get it out later this year. And the good news? Here's a perfectly normal un-special episode for you! Better than nothing, right? Well OK, there is one gimmick to this one. Lately I've noticed myself slipping into the "one genre per mix" t...

Hazy & spacy house music is the name of the game today. No bangers or breakbeats for a change, but we'll get back to that later, don't worry. The 10 year anniversary came and went, but perhaps I'll put together something mildly special regarding that for ep 152 as I hinted earlier. But first things first: now back to summer vacationing.

150, now that's a large-ish round-ish number right? To celebrate this somewhat questionable "milestone", I thought of taking it back to where the series started: uplifting sample based house (almost) all the way baby! It also seems like the appropriate sound now that Berlin is between variants and we might even get to enjoy a bit of summer here. Responsibly, of course. Speaking of numbers, the ten...

Fresh in from the heat of the Berlin spring.. which seems to have lasted for a whopping 3 days this year. Easy come easy go. Oh right, blurb about the mix goes here. Well, this one's all about those new school UK hardcore and jungle influenced breakbeats. That's it really, probably no need to draw you a diagram or anything. Only for the headstrong etc. N-joi!

Back again after another accidentally prolonged hiatus, etc etc, you know the drill. I'm not actually sure what exactly is going on with this episode. Just felt it should all go together somehow.

A belated happy new year.. Bla bla 2020 sucked yada yada. Anyway here's some fucking electro. Not sure if it's even a thing anymore but hey. The tracks are a bit old because I originally intended to record this a month ago. However, stuff happened ranging from PC reinstalls to personal injury. Thanks to the latter, this one was mixed with nine fingers (and zero spaceballs). Hope it still "slaps" s...

Santa's got something in his bulging sack for all the well behaved kids out there. Namely those of you who didn't attend any plague raves in 2020 and have thus avoided endangering the lives of your fellow human beings for selfish reasons. The gift-wrapped package consists of 12 laid back tunes tailor-blended by the DJ elves to help you get in the mood for the holidays. Etc etc insert generic Xmas...

Told you I had more time for mixing in isolation. This one's less geared for one's bumpin' enjoyment and instead a slightly more cerebral lo-fi inner space exploration kind of a thing. Yes, that most definitely is a thing. Enjoy the trip. Download: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1VmGxd2B2RN0iIC0ZhvDCKvJkENDtayxZ 01. Neuronphase - Villainman [Porridge Bullet] 02.

It was fun while it lasted. Summer gave us a brief glimpse of semi-normality, but as I write this Berlin is on a steady course towards Lockdown II: Electric Boogaloo. As a personal silver lining, returning to self-isolation at least leaves me with ample time for mixing. The first result is this funky assortment of boogie, disco and related modern derivatives. Hopefully it will bring joy to your li...

Lately there's been no shortage of past genres experiencing a resurgence at some level. Dream house, UK garage.. Even NYC freestyle has been brought back by a new generation. However, the one nearest to my own heart has been the uptick of UK hardcore influenced sounds. Sure, it's probably the 3rd time within a decade by now and not all of it is pure gold, but among the low-effort "rave" pastiches...

Moody music for a world that's lately been heading steadily towards hell in a handbasket. Or maybe in a tote bag sporting a witty printed slogan. But we'll get through this, I'm sure of it. In the meantimee, enjoy the sounds, avoid crowds, wear that mask, eat your veggies, support BLM, fight nazis and I'll see you next time!

After a crowdpleasing electro detour, we're headed right back into slightly off-kilter and decidedly untrendy house music. Sophisticated adult entertainment only, no poolside anthems here. An extra sprinkling of trance at the end, because you're worth it. Download: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1TrY3IHvHymwj9fe5GD451FU-GDO-VrJc 01.

Have I got a deal for you, my friend: a DJ mix completely free of charge! What's that you say? Oh don't worry about it, my tour manager is doing just fine. This time I decided to (figuratively speaking) dust off some (mostly) recent electro releases, just so I can still ride the last waves of the current hype cycle. I'm kidding of course: it's all killer no filler, as per standard procedure in thi...

What the world needs now is good old fashioned escapism. Sadly for some, hedonistic jet setting around the globe on budget airlines has become a thing of the past, perhaps permanently. But who needs that when we're still able to trip the f out just by using our ears? Just lean back and enjoy this set of modern day electronic exotica, perfect for getting your mind off the dystopic reality. Bonus cl...
