This is for the Gz but this is not for the hustlaz. Sorry hustlaz, you need to get back in line with the rest of them. I realized it had been a while since the last episode of honest house bangers, so try this one for size. No artsy hipster bullshit, just shuffled hats, gratuitious distortion and the mandatory Loleatta Holloway vocal clip. The 1st of May riots start early this year. Download: http...

You know, I wanna ask you something: have you ever wondered why it is we love this music? Yeah, me neither. Never mind then, here's more for you to love. Mostly laid back sounds, even slightly trancy at times, with not much in terms of common thread and bound together by loose'n'relaxed mixing. Tailor made for the extended Easter weekend. And if this leaves you still hungry for more, there's somet...

First impressions may be deceiving. Like a citrus fruit, a colourful shell can envelop a bitter crunchy pill to swallow. But you can bet before we're through, mister/miss, I'll make a young person-of-prefered-gender on acid out of you. Download: http://minie0.pp.fi/breaque/hausaufgabe-112-2018-03-08_hq.mp3 01.

Exactly ten episodes ago I declared disco edits to be back in vogue. Should be putting my mixtape where my mouth is, you say? Can do. How about this arrangement of sample heavy tracks and feelgood boogie bootlegs? It was recorded last Sunday while recovering from the most excellent Mr Good Vibes party, I'm guessing that shows. Go ahead, funk it up. You know you want to. Download: http://minie0.pp....

Easing you into 2018 nice and slow.. and I do mean slow. This episode is all about them low BPM jams. Cocktail lounge noodling courtesy of Larry Heard's and Harry Dennis' The It, emo house vibes by Sweden's own Your Planet Is Next, a 1983 post-punk electro wave smasher from the recently unearthed and long forgotten San Francisco project Dub Oven.. If this tracklist isn't worthy of you switching to...

Quick, Robin, to the mixcave! There was still time to crank out one last round of bangers for 2017, so here you go. This time with a technoish flavour. Once again, I'd like to thank everyone out there who listened to my mixes this year and maybe even found them entertaining. There's plenty of more to come in 2018, hopefully including some very special surprises. So stay tuned and have a happy new...

I've heard things you people wouldn't believe. Attack-decay-sustain-release envelopes on fire off a vintage Oberheim. I listened to C-sides of rare double-12"s in the dark near Frankfurter Tor. All those moments will be lost in time.. like mixtapes of no-name bedroom DJs in Soundcloud.. Time to rave. This one goes out to everyone out there in need of some tropically cosmic space boozing soundtrack...

Greetings, dear listener. I hope all is good in your hood and this dark & stormy season isn't being too hard on your psyche. To help fend off any impending gloom, enjoy this aural pick-me-up in form of upbeat bangers. I also threw in jazzy shuffles for good measure.. and since this particular dead horse isn't quite thoroughly beaten yet, even some of that lo-fi meme house for the hipsters. Bon Jov...

This Tuesday we were celebrating the German Unity Day. What better excuse to.. um.. unify together some tracks and.. build up a wall of sound to be torn down? Sorry, those puns sounded way better in my head. Anyhoo, I won't even pretend there's a grand plan or concept behind this mix. Just loosely coupled recent favourites with a slight accidental electro/acid twist. I had to include another piece...

RIP summer of 2017, all the couple of weeks of it. As we're already plummeting face first into the cold depths of autumn, drastic measures for survival are in order. As your attorney, I advise you to mix up a stiff exotic cocktail, curl up somewhere reasonably warm and put on this compilation of slow and easy escapism. You name it, we got it: disco, world musicish vibes, subtle psychedelia, boogie...

Bleepin' ain't easy but it's necessary. For those of my 20-odd listeners out there with a sweet spot for squelching synths, you're in for a treat. This episode's all about arpeggios, acid and analogueish droning. Triple-A, baby! Is it house? Is it techno? More importantly, who cares? Enjoy responsibly, best served loud.

I'm back, not accompanied by any vengeance though. Kudos to all with whom I enjoyed good times during our vacation travels within the motherland. The backlog of tracks has been piling up, so expect a bunch of post-hiatus episodes shortly. This one starts with something the unenlightened call "deep", then a bit of that hipster-friendly lo-fi distorted meme house we all know and love. Finally, thing...

Can't.. stop.. mixing.. Need.. fix.. of.. new.. tunes.. Nah, just joshing you dude. I am able to, like, totally quit whenever I want. It's not like I'd have a problem or anything, no sir! While waiting for the inevitable intervention, check out this melodic mix perfect for summertime activities. Right off the bat we have some synth pluck heavy contemporary Monkey Island house (yes, that's a genre)...

Back to business as usual. While the weather forecast fails to corroborate this, we've reached summer on our half of the globe.. at least technically. I am thus all but contractually obligated to lay down something more lighthearted and easygoing, preferably with a boogie/disco twist. Remember back in the day when edits were a thing? Or that brief period during which "nu-disco" (oh how I despise t...

I like 'em round and big.. the numbers, that is. After nearly 6 years of this mix series I've reached #100, which often seems to be a major thing for those subscribing to the ol' base-10. And what a package do we have here for the celebration. I may have gone too far in a few places.. but it's stylistically designed to be that way. Early on I decided to take the boring and predictable route of hig...

I ain't no Simon from the Clothing Room, but I got 99 episodes and this.. err.. is one. Whatever. I'm on vacation on this week and in a generally scheißegal mood, so I won't even try to pretend there'd be a common thread in today's mix. Anything goes from G-funk samples to Detroit-ish riffs and lo-fi jacking. But don't worry, the tracks are all on fyre like a trust fund Instagram influencer. The n...

BPM level over 130, dirty words, Dance Mania.. Getting all ghetto up in this M.F. If Episode #95 was "slow A or B sides of previously played stuff", this one is more or less its uptempo counterpart. Go ahead, bang the box or juke the joint or what have you. Download: http://minie0.pp.fi/breaque/hausaufgabe-98-2017-04-15_hq.mp3 01. Tony Rainwater - Rockberry Jam [Lehult] 02.

Jazz samples and smooth "deep house" chords are nice and all, but allow me to get technical for a moment. In this episode, the name of the game is synth bleeps accompanied by classic drum machines and subtle distortion. Wait, or is that three names? Anyhoo: it's house, techno and electro in perfect harmony. Purist beware. Download: http://minie0.pp.fi/breaque/hausaufgabe-97-2017-04-04_hq.mp3 01. R...

Slowly but surely, the project lumbers on towards the 100th episode milestone. No experimental prototyping in this sprint, just house music so standards-compliant its producers should have no trouble passing even the toughest ISO 9001 audit. Highlights among the features of this commit include a nice Kaos edit, a rereleased hit by Nthng as DJ Wave and a little something from Lauri H, a fresh myste...

I know tracks, I have the best tracks. Tremendous tracks. Haters and losers with their alternative facts regarding so-called house music? Sad! I just may have to build a wall of sound and make LiveStyle pay for it. Lame and obvious topical joking aside, here are 13 straightforward 4-on-the-floor club tracks. No-nonsense stuff, or at the very least keeping the nonsense levels negligible. Crank it u...

Can't stop, won't stop, probably should stop but whatever. It's back to basics with moody, jazzy, crispy and just generally very adjective-y house tracks. Sampled vinyl artifacts? Check. NASA soundbites? Check. Studio Barnhus delivering another ridiculously massive hit? Double check. I'm lovin' it, hope you will too. Peace out.

The smoke has cleared, the ears have ceased ringing from the relentless blasting of fireworks. 2017 has indeed dawned on the streets of Berlin, which are still drowning in empty Rotkäppchen bottles and rocket residue. But the good times don't have to be over just yet: how about ringing in 2017 one more time with the latest episode of Hausaufgabe? This time I'm presenting some melodic house music,...
