The sixth edition is being hosted by American underground pioneer Robert Turman whose work has been called "the square root of so much foundational DIY music" (Boomkat). Exclusively for this series, he put together a mix of his newest releases 'Il Planetario' (recorded at Ravenna Planetarium in Italy), 'Euro 1 & 2' as well as previously unreleased material. Despite its total of 16 parts, every fragment here seems to be melting into one another, resulting in an hour-long, dreamlike amalgam of hazy, dissociative atmosphere consisting of (his patented) crunchy, heavily textured, often nostalgia-inducing ambient loops. To keep it real and pure here: We're truly honoured to have the opportunity to feature Turman and at the same time to shine a light on his more recent output.

Lärm Mixtape 06

Lärm Mix #6 // Robert Turman

The seventh edition of the Lärm Mix series is hosted by Rotterdam electronic producer Tommie O and her narrative, noughties nostalgia-tinged sound collage on celebretism and heteronormativity "I Like Rockstars". She writes: "This is a special mind-control healing mix crafted especially for the Lärm mix series by my shadow avatar SATŒNA. A catharsis screaming the pain and hurt from being misguided by the narratives programmed in my little girl's brain about love, admiration and aspiration. Get comfortable and WASH HIM OUT during this hour with me."

Lärm Mix #7 // Tommie O

The eighth edition is being hosted by German sound collagists LÄUTEN DER SEELE. Exclusively for the Lärm series, prolific main man Christian Schoppik (also Brannten Schnüre, Freundliche Kreisel, etc.) assembled an autumnal mix ranging from minimal wave, to obscure ambient, to somnambulist dark folk, to baroque Schlager to as well as his own projects. And much like the latter, this collection of songs and sketches seems like a shadowy walk through glowing images of the past – personal or collective, real or imagined –, images of wonder and bewilderment that one might have forgotten throughout a lifetime, that sank and half-reflected glimmered on – an introspective, subtly nostalgic musical language that's right up our alley!

Lärm Mix #8 // Läuten der Seele

The 9th edition is hosted by Berlin noise rock formation Children. And not unlike their own musical output, this mixtape created by founder Tim Nagel displays a remarkable collision of energies. A dreamlike amalgam of dramatic narration, French avant-rock, 20th century minimalist composition and feverish punk music that eventually eats itself up and leaves a blank slate for everyone to write their own story on.

Lärm Mix #9 // Children

The 10th edition is hosted by Liv Billerbeck, founder of Berlin underground institution Billo Records and numerous bands and projects including AUS, Die Letzten Ecken or Die Schiefe Bahn. For our mix series, she has merged radio play and film excerpts - flickering in and out like biographical scraps of memory - with the spirit of 80s DIY craft and wave music to create a raw, sometimes exuberant yet poetically atmospheric whole. From Asmus Tietchens to Max Goldt to Anne Clark and Skeletal Family there's heaps of great material to be found here, at times revealing the influences on the quasi-mythical post-punk realism of her own work.

Lärm Mix #10 // Liv Billerbeck

The 11th installment of the Lärm Mix series is a special edition to accompany the photo book "Genuine Leather" by Jan Utecht. In this 80-minute mix, Utecht welds together songs from some of the very people portrayed in his book: from proper f*cking 2nd-wave-classics to sweaty speed metal to damaged rock and psych music, this mix reflects the underlying theme running through Utecht's photo series: the fierce, resolute spirit of black metal.

1. Negative Plane - The Fall
2. Infernö - Thrash Metal Dogs Of Hell
3. Deathhammer - Satan Is Back
4. Kringa - Pearly Gates
5. Darkthrone - As Flittermice As Satan’s Spys

8. In Solitude - Sister
9. No Future - Splendour Of My Hometown
10. Brånd - Wo draht da Weg?

Lärm Mix #11 // Jan Utecht presents: Genuine Leather

The 12th edition is hosted by Herrgottsblick from Upper Austria, founder of Födweg label and a myriad of bands and projects including Brånd, Kringa, Weathered Crest or Eisenhand. For our mix series, he got deep into his bag and dusted off some true gems and oddities for a shimmering little odyssey of archival magic. From afrobeat to electroid boogie, to hypnagogic pop vignettes, soundtrack and novelty tunes, to tape-mangled dungeon synth and Eastern Bloc heavy metal, this thing flows with a steamy, mesmerising quality that not only hits the sweet spot between nostalgia, abstraction and pop, but is also gonna bang in the whip!
