Despite missing the last two and a half hours we still managed to record a good bit of our all night b2b2b2b2b2b session for AUF LEIWAND at Celeste on 9.11.2024 with Alaska Al, Heap, Julian, Luziprak, Marc Graebnor and myself playing only Austrian tunes all night. In its slightly chaotic amateurishness, i think its a great representation of the giant potpourri that is the more obscure side of Austrian pop and dance music history of the latter part of the last century ;)

Here's our recording from @valentin-hauptmann and me at this years lovely Zmar Festival and we're super happy to finally share it with you. Thanks to all these fantastic creatures who shared this memorable saturday afternoon with us. For the two of us it has been one of the best moments this year.

The sound might be a bit off due to the leveler, odd EQing, intense fun and a great Friday night. But we hope that after some editing it’s edible now!

Thanks so much to the whole @zmarfestival crew for creating this mind-bending adult-playground and for having us again <3 <3 <3

"If you talk about space and disco in the same sentence then you are definitely talking complete nerd-dom. Seriously, there is a point at which it is still accessible - for listening to or collecting - but it soon develops into the realm of obscurity where things start to become rare, secretive and most of all extremely expensive. Getting deep into this genre is is more than just a hobby. The benefits however are clear. How can a sound possibly be more sentimentally futuristic with such a strong emphasis on ethereal grooves and funkiness? Well, that's where Albion is at. The Swedish disco mastermind has caused quite a stir both with his series of mix tapes and edits. If there is one guy who knows what's up in the outer-space genre, then his name is the first in line. iCrates asked Albion to provide a brief introduction into this genre, from the very obvious to the very obscure and he has more than surprised us with the sheer quality of this exclusive mixtape. Enjoy and sorry, no track list. We hope you understand..." iCrates 2012

Music From Mullets #24 starts into 2025 with two hours dedicated to Ambient and New Age, maybe with a little folky, sometimes even spiritual impact. The second hour comes with a guest mix straight from the bin @growingbinrecords –– Basso has been a musical inspiration since many many years and lots of his early YT uploads are still some of my long-time favorite records. This is gonna be an episode to either stretch out on your yoga mat or curl up next to your cat. It will gently massage your eardrum.

This show originally aired on Cashmere Radio on January 8, 2025.

Tankwart doing his thing at a recent Horrorscope party.... ;)

"Tankwart is a DJ, producer, and musician originally from Zurich, currently based in Berlin. In his own productions as well as in the music with the band Dâdalus & Bikarus, he explores a sound that extends the concept of psychedelic music across different eras. He seeks sounds that are raw, trippy, and yet beautiful, blending genres like New Wave, Triphop, Acid, and Kosmische Musik. With one foot on the dancefloor and the other in the intimate setting of the basement, he thrives in spaces where music transcends boundaries and strengthens community."

"A Selection Spanning Over Various Genres And Decades"
Here's an impressive collection of Musik from Austria most of us have never heard before. Waist-high in obscurity Florian aka @Heapvienna takes us through the last decades of the 20th century with heavy winking. This mix actually is the result of countless hours spent in record stores and at fleamarkets all around Austria over the range of the past 10 years!
Thanks a lot for sharing the fruit of your work Florian!

"Being at an Albion gig is like entering a bedouin tent and for the first time ever smell the scent of an exotic spice that you could imagine living with for the rest of your life." 

He is a DJ who doesn't merely take you on another drum journey, but adds an extra dimension where preconception doesn't apply. It can take a while to get used to it though. Because sophistication never went out of style, it just took more than three decades to catch up with it. And when the coin finally dropped, Albion was there to pick it up. In 2004 he realized that he could set out on a musical journey that no DJ had done before him. Over the last years he has recorded more than a hundred mixes and has steadily built up a worldwide following.

With the groundbreaking Mixtura mixes, he rediscovered and brought together European disco tracks that had been lost and forgotten since the heydays, Albion defined his own sound, which he refers to as Continental Disco Sound.

So far, he has been putting dance floors on fire in Amsterdam, Athen, Barcelona, Belgrad, Berlin, Bordeaux, Bristol, Bruxelles, Chemnitz, København, Dresden, Dublin, Göteborg, Hague, Helsinki, Leeds, Leipzig, London, Lyon, Madrid, Malmö, Mons, München, Mockba, New York, Oslo, Palma de Mallorca, Paris, Pescara, Rotterdam, Sofia, Stockholm, Thessaloniki, Turku, Uzés, Veliko Tarnovo and Vilnius.

Each year Albion with friends arrange the disco festival Camp Cosmic.

Guest mixes: Beats In Space, Noise In My Head, Another Night On Earth, Intergalactic FM, Joe’s Bakery, Made Like A Tree, Puff Puff Pass, Rotating Souls, Les Yeux Orange, Esters, Racket Racket, Lovefingers, Voices Collective, Dream Machine, Noncollective, Standeasy Show etc

Label discography: Ambassadors Reception, Frisbee Records, Blackdisco, Forest Jams, Rotating Souls,  Macadam Mambo, Mond Musik, Legalize Lambada, Local Kaffee, Passport To Paradise, People Must Jam, Moon&Mann/MM Discos, SchatziMusik, Mond Musik, Whiskey Disco and Bahnsteig 23.
