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.

Day On The Beach May 16 2017

This is not one of my usual sets. If you enjoy listening to any kind of House Music or its sub-genres today, it was likely influenced by the sound of Disco and Funk back in the 70s. It is how it all began, the roots of what many of us love so much today. So, this one is to that era of pioneering sounds and ecstatic vibes. 

To maintain the original grooves, I avoided playing any kind of quantized new version (edits or remasterings), so expect original records. 

Enjoy the fever.
