It started as a winter postcard of Home, a snowy day in Germany, on 16th of January, a longing extension of an August rainy day and heartfelt goodbyes, and that’s when our beloved Vladimir Ivkovic sent us a love note and a hug through his sound.
One of the most special people opened our hearts with his very special mix and now we are at bliss!

@blissblissblissss is back with a very special mix series starting with #001 - Vladimir Ivkovic.

"A Selection Spanning Over Various Genres And Decades"
Here's an impressive collection of Musik from Austria most of us have never heard before. Waist-high in obscurity Florian aka @Heapvienna takes us through the last decades of the 20th century with heavy winking. This mix actually is the result of countless hours spent in record stores and at fleamarkets all around Austria over the range of the past 10 years!
Thanks a lot for sharing the fruit of your work Florian!

Lesser-known Austrian Gems (Guest Mix, 2025)

Back by popular demand: Tako's wonderful Holiday Mix!
Here's what I wrote 7 years ago:

I was about to post this beautiful summer mix of Tako with the following words:

"What do you expect from a mix when it's done by a supernice guy with an excellent taste in music and a wonderful record collection? Yeah and that's exactly what you get here. Also make sure to get a copy of the first 12" of the Sombrero Galaxy, released on Lovefingers long awaited ESP Institute. Sombrero Galaxy is the collabo between Tako and Jonny Nash and their "Journey to the center of the sun" is one of my favourite releases of the last years, cheers!"

That was yesterday. In the meantime something terrible happened. Tako's friend Petros Malevis from Athens passed away without a warning. This mix is dedicated to Petros! He will be missed. Rest in peace, Petros.

Tako - Holiday (Guest Mix, 2010)

This is not just another rerule of a growing bin guest mix. It's the shit!!
Here's what I wrote in 2010: 
"Autumn again! I couldn't imagine anything nicer than sitting at home in the warmth, looking at the raindrops run down the window and listen to this beautiful mix Abel is spoiling us with. It's been on repeat since I got it and i'm damn happy to share it with you. Off the hook!! Make sure to check out Abel's mixes on Lovefingers, Dreamchimney, Noncollective and Noiseinmyhead and of course get a copy of his fantastic edits on Blackdisco instantly. But listen to this first. THE SPACE BETWEEN.
Thanks so much Abel!"

Heres what I wrote in 2010:
"We're unbelievably happy to have a superb mix by the "Kings of Downtempo" - Ronny & Renzo in the growing bin. If you belong to the four persons on the globe who don't know these guys and their label King Kung Foo yet, just buy their records (they're amazing - Broken Fingers incl. a Sombrero Galaxy remix came out a few weeks ago : ) and check out their interview (and of course the mix) at Cosmic Disco. But first listen to this mix. It's different from most of the mixes I've yet heard. They are precisely cutting vocal samples from german TV, overlaying laid back Ronny & Renzo originals and pearls from the vast collection. Next level ; )
Dear listener, I know you love it gloomy, spiritiual and a tad surreal -
so may I present Cadavre Exquis.
your pocket grows seafood on the moon!"

Ronny & Renzo - Cadavre Exquis (Guest Mix, 2010)

Here's what I wrote in 2009:
"We @ the growing bin are really happy to supply you with a superb mix by a highly acclaimed Italo and Cosmic Disco expert - DJ MEDA. If you're into weird spatial synths and driving basses - Volume 3 of the Amazing Space Mixes is the thing for you. We have an option on Volume 4, so post comments galore please...
Danke Meda!!!!"

NO DEMOS PLEASE! 
growing bin records is a micro-label and online record store. With lots of love and affection we bring you music that is special to our ears. Well actually we're a one man business, but "we" sounds a bit more professional, or maybe even royal. Forget about that. We're small and not a bit royal and we'll stay small and loyal. Cheers!  If I should not react to your demo I probably didn't feel it, and I'm too shy to tell you.  Sorry but life is short and I don't release stuff that i feel 100%. Keep on keeping on! 
I am actually not releasing much at the moment as I am focussing on selling the thousands of used records in my studio. SO do me a favour and come over to the bin aka www.growingbinrecords.com and help me get rid of the black gold :)
