Paul Weck is a vinyl DJ and promoter based in Weimar with roots in Stuttgart. As the co-founder of the Architecture and Music Collective 'Niemandsland' as well as 'X²', he expresses his spatial understanding of musical spaces in his DJ sets, events, and in a theoretical study called 'MUSIC AS SPACE'.


"During my seven-month internship in Brussels, I encountered two new situations: Firstly, I received my first salary, and secondly, I was surrounded by proper record stores in the city where I lived in. These circumstances led to a consistently empty bank account and loads of records that I couldn't even organize in my music discography because I didn't brought my turntables to Brussels. This mix is one of three in which I process my time and the music I discovered while living in a big city for the first time. 

The track selection in this mix is heavily influenced by the incredible Draaimolen set of "Jasss b2b Blawan," which was released during that time and became my most listened set on SoundCloud. I was trying to recreate those outstanding shifts in genres and rhythms without letting individual tracks dominate the set (or me, lol). 

In the end, what sounds so easy through the hands of Blawan and Jasss obviously wasn't that easy because most of the tracks, especially on vinyl with no loop function, sort of ask for an outstanding position and aren't easy to deal with as tools. I did my best to handle those beauties, and I'm honestly really happy that this is the result. I hope my idea comes through. Enjoy!“

"The card you see in the post was my transportation ticket that took me through the city as well as to my favorite record shops. It's an object that reminds me of my time in Brussels and one that I will keep for good memories."
