▌I What’s your favorite club and what’s your favorite festival - explain why!
I’m not really into festivals - but Waking Life in Portugal and Paradise City in Belgium seem really nice! As a favorite club, I will name Heideglühen and there are a lot of reasons. Music is the first one, of course, but among others, I can name safety and comfort, and I love that there's always a huge chance to meet someone you know. 

▌II Which artist influenced you a lot?
Lawrence influenced me a lot as a DJ. I can call him one of my favorite DJs. 

▌III What are you missing the most since March 2020?
My parents and my family in general. When the pandemic started, my tickets got canceled just 4 days before the flight. I had a tradition to go to Russia every year in March to celebrate my mother's birthday together with my family. 

I didn't want to put anyone in danger and be a part of the problem. At the beginning of this year, I decided to buy the tickets and finally see the family. I was so happy. On the 24th of February, the war started and it's still going... I'm from a small city in Russia which is very close to Ukraine, the airport in my city is closed, but I also feel quite unsafe when thinking about the idea of going to Russia because of my anti-war and anti-government political opinion.

Yoyaku instore session with Alex Albrecht (Live)

@priebe

The best way to describe Philipp Priebe’s music might be as dancefloor-prose. The german
producer and DJ musically recites raw, sensitive stories that tempt you to fall in love on the
dancefloor or at least wrap you in a blanket of melancholy.
Philipp’s live sets combine honest and emotive deep house with the dusty grinds of dub techno.
Straight- to-the heart samples add to the distinct moods, all carved out through a deeply
personal, almost therapeutic process. While sentimental, an irrefutable drive unfolds
accompanied a bouncy, activating rhythm.
Fascinated by how bands like Sigur Rós create emotive atmospheres and musically reflect
internal processes, Priebe found his own way to craft club-appropriate compositions that
convey storytelling and emotional processing.
His productions revolve around specific narratives, often drawn from real-life situations or those
childhood musings we can all relate to. Priebe is - by nature- an “Album-Artist”
, one who builds
an ark traversing multiple moods, just like in his live sets.
His 2014 Album “The Being of the Beautiful” (IL Y A Records) explores the concept of beauty.
The experience and sensation of being trapped in a department store are captured in
“Movements in an Empty Department Store”
.
“Until The End” (2024) released on Paradijs Boogie, a sub-label of German outlet Freund der
Familie, is the third album within 3 years. Closer to imaginative and ambient - infused house, this
long player also features collaborations with the like-minded artists Ben Kaczor and Soela.
“Movements…
” was released on Stólar, his 2020-founded imprint. Bringing his own label to life
meant creating a whole alternative universe without compromises and confinements, a
necessity for the artist.
Stólar focuses on Deep House and adjacent styles, presenting artists that Priebe appreciates
and invites to contribute. Remixes, by and for friends, play a substantial role in the curation. In
recent times he featured Molly, Lawrence and Ben Kaczor on the label.
Seeing Stólar as his heritage, Philipp puts extra effort into its visual appearance, collaborating
with artists that support his vision through distinct artworks. For most releases, Jules Villbrandt
creates pieces that go beyond being mere album covers, but are authentic works of art by
themselves.
In Priebe’s work, audible and visual elements intertwine, both figuratively and evocatively. A
variety of images and sentiments are expressed through the narratives he composes, engaging
the audience much like a piece of prose—only on the dance floor.

deep vinyl mix, recorded a few years back. 

ROGER GERRESSEN - DEEP HOME MIX

As the spring weather is just starting to arrive; in a glimmer of hope with the sun shining (and some blue skies), I decided to record a dedication to the amazing Smallville Records for the March 2025 Vinyl Sanctuary Sessions podcast. 
Track list will be in the comments. 
Peace! 
Deep House music forever!!

Vinyl Sanctuary Sessions Volume 15 - Smallville Records Germany

Next up, a artist and/or deejay straight from the heart. @rogergerressen recorded this beautiful piece for our podcast series.  Start ur summer of right and check out this vibrant mix! We we’re personally blown away by the sound and track selection in this one. Lock-in, free up some time, and indulge in this one.

ROGER GERRESSEN FOR UNDISCLOSED -  INVITED SERIES

A journey in an almost literal sense. Martinou provides an hour of contemporary-leaning minimal with that early 2010s sonic flavour. The Swedish native provides a masterclass in building expectations and maintaining flow through expert layering and track selection. Really entrancing. Features music from Tibi Dabo, Blue Channel, and Ovend. 


Kune Takeover w/  Martinou @ Radio Panini (26.04.2025)

A faint light filters through forgotten spaces, winding between lanterns that no longer light and hallways that echo with silence. Horizons fade in fragile waltzes, and each shadow carries the memory of shapes long gone. In the stillness, a glow remains, hidden but enduring, an ember of presence that outlives absence.

Threads of Hollow Sky

Some tiesto style midi

My first single and full track release! Started off as an experiment in Melodic House, and ended up with this. I quite like the sound of it.

Does the song make you feel like you are watching an intense chase?

Borderless Episode #049 - grad_u

The Big Bang happened in 2005 when Aleksandr aka @grad_u, a Vilnius-based DJ and producer who had been focused on drum’n’bass, accidentally heard Prospect II by Fluxion. It wasn’t the first time he heard the track but, at the right time and the right place, or, more accurately, the right depth, it pushed the artist to aim for fresh and dubby vibes and sounds. As the deal was done for the first release, the gradient of function U that Aleksandr studied at the moment gently became @grad_u. The gradient demonstrates the direction of increase of the function, so, consistently, it also paved the path of grad_u’s musical journey. But enough about maths. The sound of grad_u levitates in the golden middle between the ancient woods and the everyday asphalt jungle. The purity of these soundscapes is usually predetermined by recording the tracks on the tape, and inside these tapes, the producer encrypts both his family, everyday life, philosophical thoughts, space explorations, and some wild fantasies of how it all would sound live through a proper sound system. After a few successful releases on Knowone, grad_u was determined to launch a vinyl-only label himself. That’s how Redscale was born, and, since its first release in 2012, the catalogue has already reached the number RDSCL09. Grad_u produces all of the tracks released on Redscale. The producer also collaborates with likeminded imprints, Irenic being the latest (as of 2019) example of the dubby and timeless friendship. Having formed strong yet subtle muscles by performing live and DJ sets in various clubs and festivals in #Lithuania and nearby countries, for the past few years grad_u can in all sincerity be called an international artist. In the recent months, he has performed in cities like #Kyiv, #Helsinki, #Budapest, #Beijing, or #Tehran and travels are planned for the future. The faraway locations, unlike surroundings and new people met on the road have transformed into creative influences. The busy schedule of the artist hasn’t managed to keep him away from the studio and label errands; a few releases are now lined up to be listened in bedrooms and beyond.
Stay Rave with #R13!
