Temptations is my monthly mix series, showcasing selections of tracks I'm digging. Enjoy listening!

Temptations (Mixes)

A few weeks ago, I did a livestream at Beatport’s "Link Weekly" show by invitation of the wonderful @rom3-3. Due to some tech issues I had to play with my fallback setup, which resulted in an interesting journey because my track selection got completely spontaneous rather than having pre-planned a direction for the set. That set is recorded here, including an unreleased breakbeat production of mine which is going to see the light of day soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXc3DV0w5_s&t=2349s   

June’s edition of my monthly Temptations mix series represents what I actually had in mind for that livestream. The progressive breaks sound or simply breakbeat represents something twisted which I’ve been enthusiastic about since the 90s. I always use some productions of this genre throughout my set, as I found that moment at festivals very special when the sound transitions from breakbeat to 4/4. Recently, I’ve compiled some pure breakbeat mixes, which made some of my listeners asking me to put out more mixes of that style. So, here’s Temptations #018 delivering exactly that, just in time for Summer vibes!

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.

Good friend and constant source of inspiration Alex Albrecht, joined me to celebrate my 300th episode of Passing Notes.

Few artists channel a consistent stream of creativity like Alex Albrecht. With over a decade of music-making under his belt, Alex has cultivated a distinct and frankly iconic musical identity. Effortlessly shapeshifting between experimental jazz, ambient, atmospheric house, and deep techno, Alex’s compositions are marked by an environmental undertone that imbues them with a uniquely “Alex Albrecht” earthly sense of place. Simultaneously anchoring and weightless, the common thread between it all is Alex’s ability to leave listeners safely ensconced in a swell of emotional resonance.

Improvisation and exploration are at the heart of Albrecht’s craft. His constantly evolving and captivating live performances have taken him to far corners of the globe, with appearances at iconic venues like Bassiani in Georgia, Monument in Norway, and Vent in Tokyo just to name a few. Each journey fuels his exploratory nature, offering new opportunities to immerse himself in the world around him. Field recordings serve as an auditory journal—postcards sent home to evoke memories of space and place that form the ever-important foundation of his creative process. These recordings provide a naturalistic canvas upon which Alex layers syncopated rhythmic subtleties and soaring, colorful synthetic brushstrokes.

With a rich discography amassing on celebrated labels such as A Strangely Isolated Place, Constellation Tatsu, Apollo, Scissor & Thread, and his own Analogue Attic Recordings—also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year—Albrecht’s work reflects a steadfast commitment to artistic authenticity and a depth of accrued knowledge now expressed through a craft so refined that oft feels effortless.

It was an honour to have Alex performing LIVE in the studio to celebrate this milestone together and share in his music that will continue to inspire us all.

Dorisburg - Tribute Mix

~ Deep Breakfast 311 by https://soundcloud.com/hame-compathy ~

We are pleased to introduce the new Deep Breakfast mix curated by Hame. Based in Amsterdam, Hame is a talented producer, DJ, and founder of the record label and event concept @pintai. His musical work explores the intersection of energy and emotion, carefully crafting moments of unity on the dance floor. This mix showcases Hame’s unique talent for blending vibrant energy with heartfelt expression, making it a truly compelling addition to your listening experience. He approaches this set much like movie soundtrack, crafting a narrative with different chapters that, while distinct, come together seamlessly to create a captivating and immersive journey.

"The set ends with a track I made, built around words by Teig Sadhana about the vulnerability of men. It’s a subject that comes up often in my work as an applied psychologist, especially in conversations with boys and young men. Some carry unspoken thoughts - like feeling content with the idea of becoming a stay-at-home dad, or not pursuing traditional career ambitions. Sometimes about smaller subjects, like asking for help. Many describe pressure from society, or a lack of support from peers, when it comes to embracing less conventional paths.

I believe there’s a lot to gain, as a society, if men feel freer to speak about these thoughts. If being loved and respected is tied in the mind to career success, self-reliance and emotional toughness, it becomes difficult to let go of that framework. Historically, this mindset has been rewarded with status and security - but that doesn’t mean it’s something healthy for everyone to continue striving for.

We’re often comfortable talking about ambition, strength, and problem-solving - traits we’ve learned to view as charismatic or positive. But many of us were never taught how to speak openly about things that might be seen as weak or uncertain.

And yet, isn’t it one of the braver things - to show vulnerability in the face of discomfort or fear? Toughness can serve many purposes, but I think a more open and compassionate attitude among men toward vulnerability can help us become less protective of what’s been built in the world and in our minds, creating more space for everyone in society."

Tracklist:
1. S.A.M. - How Far From The Sun Are We Talking?
2. Terre Thaemlitz - Installation Soundtrack To "Distribution Power - Tower"
3. Torus - Like The Night
