Geplantes Nichtstun once told us his secret: he never uses instruments as the manual suggests. This spirit runs through his discography and shines again in Paradigma, where he bends sounds into rare forms. Small imperfections give it humanity, fitting, as he's a psychiatrist. The track already works on the dancefloor, and many, including us, are excited for this release.

***

Since the first release in 2018 Geplantes Nichtstun has put out nearly 50 tracks, now peaking with the second EP on Serafin Audio. Through Amselcom - a big hug to Andreas - the tunes finally reached a large crowd, while enabling me to work with all kinds of labels, DJs and musicians. Not to forget my second half Marcel Schneider, who is still doing the mixdown for all tracks due to unfathomable resonance in his primary studio, which is still the bedroom. 

Geplantes Nichtstun - German for „planned idleness“- was not conceived as an entity transmitting sound far and wide. It was established around 2006 for a then new electronic project. Most people call the artist just „Geplantes“, not knowing his face, which tends to engender fun moments. During the period of success, the avoidance-oriented artistname had a strong impact on the artist itself. Or maybe. He likes neither planes nor social media and keeps producing as a passionate, creative hobby. Whereas big or regular bookings were never part of the story, the very many encounters with wonderful people always were. The beauty of it is how the music has always been the link enabling these invaluable encounters.

Inspired by a lot of downtempo artists like Wide Awake, El Buho, Xique-Xique and others, the music is quite complexly melodic, mostly somewhat dark, and yet very embracing. Developing his style towards "Slowtrance" and in other directions. Geplantes Nichtstun remains open to collaboration in a broader artistic sense, trying to evolve 3D-sound, producing scores for short films, planning still to release a dozen tracks under a pseudonym. And showing up to clubs once in a while.
