Low-Key, Minimalistic sets

Giving up culture/music completely will not be an option.
Temptations #017 celebrates those outdoor music events many of us love so much, as they would usually be starting these days. Music just feels different when enjoyed in nature, with warm sunshine or after dusk. 
In this spirit, this month's edition comes with a selection of rather lowkey, minimalistic Deep House that's just right when enjoyed under the open skies.

Temptations #027 (March 2022)

My Temptations mix series is back after a little hiatus.

With slightly evolved sound and yet true to the roots, the vibes captured here conclude summer season and give a glimpse on my future original productions.

This mix is inspired by a private little festival I played around Berlin this summer. While the gig was twice as long as this mix and included various older records, the overall vibe and records included here are pretty much the same.

Temptations #028 (Sep 2023)

Temptations #029 (Oct 2023)

Temptations #006 continuing the summer vibes and delivering my understanding of beach/open air feeling! Starting off at a lush 90ish bpm and then increasing the energy. Enjoy July.
