Past Foward #63 w/ Menqui & Hendrik Stein

For the end-of-the-year show I teamed up with my partner in music and life Hendrik Stein for an intimate, folky edition of Music From Mullets. We've compiled songs from UK and US over Italy, Czech Republic and Greece to Japan and South Korea for a heart-warming winter special.

First time aired on @refugeworldwide at December 30, 2021 — www.refugeworldwide.com
Second part of the show is a guest mix by Hendrik Stein @hendrik_stein

“This mix is the excuse for all the postcards we missed to write during various trips to Napoli. At our first arrival at 6am on some mid-september day back in 2017 we were instantly absorbed by the seething city with it’s narrow alleys and rough but passionate citizens. Of course we came across some Neapolitan records before but only through witnessing the pulse of the city we finally lost our hearts to the sweetness and pathos of Canzone. After various trips to Napoli and Sicily and thanks to the great tips of lovely people like Florian, Daniele and Massimo we finally managed to put this mix together. And we hope you enjoy it.”

Almost 6 years ago Frinda Di Lanco and Hendrik Stein met in a small, fumy bar in Berlin Kreuzberg, where one was playing records and the other one danced. While the AOR and Balearic-aficionado Hendrik ran the infamous Disco Train with Charlie Smooth at Crack Bellmer, Frinda was regularly spinning records at Cafe Wendel, defining herself as a record collector with a deep knowledge of Funk, Soul and Jazz.
Since 2018 the couple can be found as a DJ duo with a deep love for obscure vinyl records. Their sets are a vibrant mixture ranging from cosmic, disco, Italo, new beat, proto house and they will never fail to surprise their audience with some unexpected NDW, Schlager or other treasures from all over the world.

You can find their traces at Berlin’s Heideglühen, where they appeared straight from a sweat-inducing match on the tennis court at 10 in the morning or at Krakow’s Spitalna 1, where they emptied the main floor and kept the whole crowd dancing on a small side-floor to a myth-enshrouded 135bpm cosmic disco set. In 2020 they founded their Record Label "Avec Paisir" and re-released an enchanting collection of Austrian Cosmic Tracks from the 90ies. The second Release is just in the making and will be another example for their love to the unpredictable and eclecticism.

For round 70 and the annual Cashmere summerbreak we have a mellow mix by @hendrik_stein. Starting with some easy balearic vibes he takes us through echoing dub chambers right into 90ies Jungle and back.

HAND Mix featuring Berlin's Hendrik Stein :) a few words from the rock himself: 
"I’m Hendrik Stein. A DJ and record collector from Berlin who’s been around since a while now. You might have seen me playing in one of the countless clubs of the city or know me from our Past Forward-Shows on Cashmere Radio or the Ciao Amore Baci Parties which I run with my partner in music and life Frinda di Lanco. 
After my recent excursions into lush ambient and balearic soundscapes during the pandemic years, I felt it’s time to record something more danceable and this is how this mix happened. Since the clubs reopened last year I had some chances to play some more electronic sets in some bigger venues and so I rediscovered some older Freestyle and Hip-House records, which I almost forgot about. After digging mostly meditative and laid-back organic stuff during the corona-years this was a quite relieving experience. So recently I developed some kind of obsession for more danceable Belgian and French synth-pop from the late 80’s and latin-infused House and Italo which really blew my mind. Bringing this together into a mix has been on my bucket list since quite a while and for some reason I always thought this might be a very good sound for the H.A.N.D.s mix series. In the end the recording session happened quite naturally and since I hadn’t prepared a playlist some Austro/German dance-obscurities"

H.A.N.D. MIX 037 - Hendrik Stein

A lovely springtime Tête-à-tête with @menqui & @hendrik_stein recorded live at the new cashmere HQ. Expect some fuzzy guitars, dreamy pads and some obscure sprinkles here and there. So good we’re home now!

Past Forward #77 w/ Menqui & Hendrik Stein

🇮🇹/🇩🇪  
💯:💯

This is the recording of @frinda_di_lanco and @hendrik_stein's  warmup for Bionda e Lupo's "La Deutsche Vita" record release party at Sameheads - a night which was special in every possible way. 

Since we were flattered by the invitation and love this heartwarming record, we took our chance and prepared our very own interpretation of "Gertalo". After years of digging mostly German and Italian Records but lacking proper occasions for playing these to an open-minded audience, this slot felt like a moment we have prepared since ages, without knowing it would ever happen. 
We're more than happy that there is a recording and Hendrik got back his keys and wallet. 

Thanks to @biondaelupo, @riccardisch and all the great dancers! This was a night to remember.

Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein @ La Deutsche Vita 23.06.23 @ Sameheads

This is the live recording of my sundowner at Zmar this year. Thanks so much again to @zmarfestival organizers and busy bees for creating this weekend-magic and bringing together one the funniest and loveliest crowd I've played for this year. 

EQing might sound a bit weird - I beg your pardon. I took more care of peoples ears than for the recording. But I tried my best make it edible after and hope it's enjoyable now.

live at Zmar #2 2023

for episode 23 of my radioshow @thfradio I invited two wonderful guests to the studio: @frinda_di_lanco and @hendrik_stein. thanks for the lovely music, as always 😘

Carving Reality Radioshow #23 w/ Guests Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein • 05.10.23

MFI 30!!!💥 Ecoutes au Vert is thrilled to release this wonderful mix by two seasoned Berlin cats!

@Skism & @Hendrik_Stein probably crossed paths at a smokey Party 15 years ago. Being socialized with all kinds of music and deeply shaped by clubbing in Berlin, both got pretty bored with the Minimal & Tech-House dictatorship of the late 00s.

Starting to upload their own mixes, they became online friends. While @Hendrik_Stein was exploring the roots of club music and got lost in the obscurest realms of Disco, @Skism had a long-time addiction with Kosmische, Ambient and German Psychedelics, filed under Krautrock.

Since both of them are busy bees in the music and media worlds, it took another 10 years until they finally shared the decks at the @pastforward show on Cashmere Radio. A while after, they received a very unusual donation by an anonymous patron - the obscurest part of an unused and well-aged record collection! This present made them record their first mix together and brought them under the radar of @Cobeia from Ecoutes au Vert. --> www.soundcloud.com/hendrik_stein/postcards_with_skism

A year later and here is a second exquisite mix by the pair! 🔥

@Skism is a music lover & record collector (also known as the Wasn-part of DJ duo @wasnundwunderwaffel) who loves music so much that he sometimes has a hard time just working. He believes that there’s no bad genre and no bad instrument, just bad music.
 
@Hendrik_Stein is equally deep into music, if not more. A DJ and record collector who's been around for a long time, playing in many places and running with @Menqui and @kryptic_dj, the Past Forward broadcast on Cashmere Radio. With his partner in music & life @frinda_di_lanco, they craft the Ciao Amore Baci Parties and @avec_plaisir_records label. 

In 2023, Stein crafted mixes for the H.A.N.D. series by @sound-metaphors, @eclectics28 in the UK, and the long-running @the-dream-chimney. 

With Avec Plaisir Records, he founded a platform to release hand-picked rarities, working with the likes of cosmic legend DJ Stefan Egger as well as digging private press record releases from the 1970s to 90s.

Rewatch

The Space In Between [Radio] with Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein // 12-15-2023

⁣Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein from Berlin are pushing airwaves together since 2018. A DJ duo with a deep love for obscure vinyl records and a wild and vibrant mixture ranging from AOR, cosmic, italo, library and disco that never fails to surprise us with the unexpected. Together the couple is spreading joy on dance floors all over Europe. With 'Avec Plaisir' the two founded their own label imprint and re-released an enchanting collection of Austrian Cosmic tracks from the ’90s. We hope you enjoy this wonderful selection as much as we do.


Frinda & Hendrik on their mix : “After listening to the recording from lovely RIAA Bar in September, we decided to go for exactly the same vibe – since that night was special in many ways. It only happened because our gig at Pudel got cancelled due to a double-booking but we had our train tickets already. So instead of bringing a selection of Italian Disco and dance music to Hamburg, we focussed on those records which we usually play to close friends in a home-listening context and that have a certain place in our hearts. At this night we also met Andrea who was enjoying our selection a lot and asked us if we’d like to record this mix you’re just about to listen.“ 💫
