So this is how this century's roaring 20s start.

A virus is keeping the whole world in check. Daily life is restricted to the bare minimum, nightlife doesn't happen at all. The rich become even richer and more people than ever become poor because of losing their source of income. On this note: Millions of artists, musicians, DJs and others alike are not only unable to do their jobs, but also have to find new ways of expressing themselves.

With UNWANTED, Drosssel's podcast host Bollek is giving some of them a stage to reflect upon their life in lockdown and speak for the greater whole, that's left unheard and feels unwanted in these times, when it's actually the virus that nobody wants.

Badumm… Badumm.

Can you feel it? The subtle knocking. The vibration.
Just like the planet’s pulse, life itself continues to take its turn.
It may not return to normal just yet, but humanity adapts and strives.

This ongoing movement can be overwhelming at times. And then there’s the greater safety it proposes. It will go on. It will not rest. All will be fine someday.
To feed this movement, Gina Sabatini takes the stage. Slowly starting up the engine.

Sit back, she knows what she’s doing. She’ll take you with her effortlessly. Together you’ll catch up to the movement. 

Meandering like sine waves. Sometimes behind, sometimes ahead. 
It’s never too late.

This tape is dedicated to Melissa.

Rrring!

Feels good to be back outside again, doesn’t it?

True, it’s not the same as it was before. But will it ever be? 
Maybe it will even be better if it won’t. Healthier. Going for the long run. 

Less destroying, more creating. 
Less tempo, more leisure. 
Less taking, more giving.

Gaining back a good balance is what counts now. If you had that balance before, it will be like riding a bicycle. And if you didn’t, learning how to ride one is easy. Despite of maybe being frustrating at first, the process of learning is what makes it fun in the end. 

If you need a teacher, we’ll kindly refer you to Sarah Wild. She knows how to maneuver quite a number of different terrains, yet keeping the balance is kind of like her specialty. 

Even if the bike you want to ride is just a metaphorical one, you’ll learn a great deal.
You’ll see: soon those training wheels will come off. 

Then you will do a wheelie in no time.

Watch out! 

The lasers are temporarily out of control. 
Glowing arrows shoot colorfully through the room. 
Spontaneously, a rave breaks loose, and pulls on your legs.

To ease the dullness of your lockdown routines and trigger your muscle memory, Berlin's neon aficionada Kataya converts your living room into a dance floor for a bit. All she wants is for you all to stay healthy, so get up off your couch and do some aerobics with her. 

But please: stay careful of those lasers!

Wheeew!

And another second went by, just like that.
It seems as if in our hectic world, time itself is in a hurry.
If there only was a way to slow down its passage with a simple button, just like on a record player.

Oh, you don‘t own one? Well, that‘s a shame! 

Luckily Sutsche brought one extra and a grand bottle of Cremant just in case. Like a snail brings its house, everywhere it slurps. You can learn a lot from snails, you know? When city life becomes too hectic for example, just take your house and mount it somewhere calm and peaceful. 

And bring this mixtape! To slow down holistically.

Drip. ... Drop.

The ice may be melting, but what is revealed remains frozen.
Ever so slowly the world takes its time to warm up, yet every ray of sunlight does its part to breathe life back into it. 

Finally, a lasting moment. Seconds become minutes, become hours.
The continuous drip forms a beat that turns into a room. Arutani is sitting at the center of it, painting with sounds, calmly but focussed.

His image is changing as the world is turning, at times abstract, at times picturesque, but somehow always familiar. 

Take your time. Take a breath. Take each moment as it arrives.
