I’m excited to share the third chapter of my Chasing Harmonics mix series. This set continues the journey with a blend of melodic techno, deep grooves, and atmospheric sounds. Compared to the last one, it’s a bit more driving at times but still keeps that emotional and thoughtful core.

The selection includes tracks by @sieren, @dj-koze-official, @kloset, @royrosenfeld, @volen-sentir, @realyuma, @jaapligthart, and @microtrauma – along with an own bootleg to tie it all together.

Whether you’re listening at home, on the road, or somewhere in between, I hope this mix gives you something to connect with.

Thanks for tuning in – and enjoy! ❤️

Chasing Harmonics 03

As one of the most successful German live acts in electronic music, Kollektiv Turmstrasse is an influential presence on the global techno and house sound. With regular shifts in his musical direction and stylistic development, he is living proof that change means progress. As an artist who is focused on the liberated space between breakbeat, driving house tracks and anthems for the dancefloor, he is unique with a compelling discography. Also heading up his inclusive, community-focused event series, YAP (You Are Perfect), Kollektiv Turmstrasse is a complex, progressive, and intriguing artist.

Nico Plagemann, the creative mind behind the Turmstrasse project, is deeply passionate about house music, but his sound doesn't get stuck in one repetitive cycle. Instead, he takes musical departures into exciting and winding avenues, leading us past breakbeat, indie dance, and techno to influences from hip hop and the catchy, but always high quality, elements of pop music. With his sound, Turmstrasse narrates his ongoing journey as an artist who has witnessed a plethora of musical trends over the years. “I let myself be inspired by new trends; to me, it is especially important to always bring in variety,” he says. “My sound is a crossover of everything I listen to – and that ranges from soul to techno.” Something that is evident on his latest album, ‘Unity of Opposites’.


Turmstrasse's series of events called ‘YAP’, which takes place in various venues in Europe, also fits in with this outlook. It reflects not only Nico's ideals but also the ideals that are the foundations of dance music culture: inclusion, community, and respect. YAP is short for ‘You Are Perfect’. Everyone is perfect, the musician

Atmospheric melodic techno with a dark edge by Strav.

Down

Even as a 12-year-old, I was deeply fascinated by electronic music. At first, I secretly experimented with my older brother’s (one part of @microtrauma) DJ setup, completely captivated by the beats and melodies. When I finally confessed my passion, he didn’t mind—instead, he introduced me to the art of DJing, showed me how to use the mixer, and shared essential tricks. That moment sparked a lifelong love for mixing music.

Over the years, I’ve refined my style, focusing on deep, flowing transitions and storytelling through sound. For me, DJing is more than just blending tracks—it’s about creating a journey, building an atmosphere, and evoking emotions through carefully curated sets. My passion lies in Deep and Progressive House, as these genres allow me to craft immersive and hypnotic experiences. I love creating long, seamless transitions that let the energy evolve naturally, keeping the flow alive.

While Deep and Progressive House are at the core of my sets, I also enjoy blending in elements from other styles, adding unexpected twists and fresh dynamics to the journey. On Twitch, I share this passion with a wider audience, exploring the depths of electronic music and creating unique, engaging musical experiences.
