2002-2022, that’s 20 years of Pingipung! HHV Records from Berlin made an interview with me for a nice feature on their blog and asked me for a selection of Pingipung tracks as well. It was originally released on their Mixcloud page. It's a spontaneous collection of personal faves and by no means a definitive selection.

Heiko Gogolin: 20 Years of Pingipung for HHV Records

VDS Podcast Nr.022 w/ @mme-bing (@pingipung)

2022年最後、22番目のVDS Podcastが到着しました！この素晴らしい1年を締め括り、このシーズンに相応しいストリングス満載のミックスを届けてくれたのはドイツのハンブルグを拠点に置く伝説的レーベルPingipungを手がけるMme Bing。

Mme Bing こと Andrea Wienck は熱心なレコード・コレクターで動物愛護家。彼女はレコード店で勤務する傍ら10年以上Pingipungレーベルを共同運営してきた。生々しくダークなメロディを丁寧に選ぶ彼女のセットはレアながら一聴に値する。ストリングス、ギター、メランコリーなメロディが交差するこのミックスはMme Bing 曰く「文鎮のようなハート」。Mme Bing はごろごろと鳴く猫を胸の上において聞く事を勧めています。


We're excited about VDS Podcast Nr.022 - our last VDS Podcast for the year of 2022! Closing this amazing year with a seasonal atmospherical string-packed journey is none other than one of the heads behind the legendary Pingipung label, Mme Bing from Hamburg, Germany.

Mme Bing, aka Andrea Wienck, is a passionate vinyl collector. She has honed her musical taste while co-running the Pingipung label for over a decade, as well as by working in record shops. She prefers her melodies raw and gloomy, and she selects them very carefully - it’s a rare but always delightful moment to catch her live at the decks.

Dive into this beauty of strings, guitars and melancholic melodies, which Mme Bing herself calls “The heart as a paperweight”. Mme Bing recommends listening to this set with a purring cat on your chest.

Jan Lubahn aka 'Mad Lubi' grew up in the far north and moved to Berlin a few years ago out of love for music. There he works for a big record store, regularly spinning at various venues, most often and preferably at Arkaoda. In the past he has hosted several event series, organized and played festival stages, collaborated with great labels like Philophon and in his spare time he is constantly on the lookout for black gold. For almost a year now, he and his partner have been producing a monthly radio show on Cashmere Radio: 'The Endless Tape Machine'.

Jan about his mix:
"This mix called 'Nature Boy' meanders through my music collection, from the great love jazz, to ethno and exotic vibes to Latin America, to Jamaica to Southeast Asia to folk. The name of the mix has been floating around in my head for a while, firstly because it fits the podcast photo and secondly because it's one of my favorite songs for a long time. In this mix, nature is often sung about, discussed. You can hear an instrumental version of this song in the podcast."

Outsiders: Pingipung w/ Andi Otto @ Kiosk Radio 28.03.2023

entering sonority through many doors holding different worlds at once yet moving in a line like just like a trip like a spine this time quite rhythmically but somehow stumbling anyways a bit out of range out there where there is live is rain in a tent in a forest in summer actually I wanted to write a text about a magic wand and a sand grain but then i couldn’t decide if the text should end with slime, gravity or wetness bouncing and thereby producing a delicious sound

Pingipung Podcast 152: Conny Frischauf - A Trip Like A Spine

Pingipung proudly presents the predecessor to "Uzun Havalar" from 2017, newly assembled and mixed by the artist, remastered and also available on vinyl for the first time. Release date: 9th June.

Hatıralar was Anadol's second album, originally composed between Berlin and Istanbul around 2012 and released years later only in digital form on the Ankara based label Inverted Spectrum. The title Hatıralar ("Memories") turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anadol recalled and revisited the music in 2023, gently editing and mixing the compositions for the newly mastered LP format in which they now see the light of day. Hatıralar represents an early version of the melodic, instrumental synth-pop that Anadol refined on her album Uzun Havalar (2019) before exploring the more free, krautrock-inspired musique concrète of her last album Felicita (2021). Here is the text that accompanied the original 2017 release:

Anadol, named after an old-fashioned Turkish automobile brand, is an instrumental synth-pop project by Gözen Atila, an artist, dj and keyboard player. She records with mini organs manufactured during the 70s and 80s, the built-in rhythms and arpeggios of these machines provide the backbone of her sound, and her melodies are influenced by pop music and soundtracks from France, Italy and Turkey from the same period. The music is awash with allusions to the moods of old Turkish and European cinema, from the erotic to the melodramatic, and with a reminiscence of the sound and spirit of so-called "tavern music" popular in Turkey's urban nightlife in the 1980s, a flexible pop style usually performed by a solo keyboardist-singer. Anadol is a continuation of the tradition of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, and of the keyboardists pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment to entertain middle aged drunk couples in pubs and wedding parties of Istanbul.

Now this is something special: While our mixes normally aim at an average length of one hour, Pingipung artist (Mameen 3) and veteran leftfield selector soFa elsewhere presents almost 3,5 hours of pure joy. Here is what he says himself about this beauty:

"This collection of tracks has been inspired by a psychedelic trip near a lake in Portugal last year. It's meant to be the soundtrack of a sunny and funny afternoon of visual hallucinations and much laughing somewhere near water. Along the way it will also serve a normal day of holidays in the sun. Sip a cocktail near the beach and let yourself fade away with this magic tropical potpourri. Expect oddities from the most diverse corners in time and space."
