Spektrum II

LIP012 | Various Artists - Spektrum II (snippets)

Here is the techno set I played on the new Bunker Floor at beautiful Westhafen Leipzig this summer.

For quite a time it was only a a long-held dream; but on 13th July I had the big honor to play even twice in one of my all-time-favourite clubs. So thankful to everybody involved, especially to WESTHAFEN LEIPZIG - want to say a a huge THANK YOU here! <3

We started with a 3h b2b of Roberto.B and myself at the Outdoor Floor, where we vibed in the sun with some melodic house.

Just a short break to breathe & then I had the honor to play the night opening of Bunker Floor - which got a little faster & harder! To all of you who´ve been there, it was a pleasure to rave into the night with you! <3

Enjoy :)

PREMIERE: Richard Brook - Cold Winds (Original Mix)

Tonkassette [Invites] 015 Bigalke

After a very long break, I’m especially excited to announce a new episode of the TONKASSETTE podcast series. This time, the mix comes from a good friend and longtime head of communications for TONKASSETTE: DJ and producer Bigalke, one of the most consistent artists in Leipzig’s techno scene.

As a longtime resident DJ at the Distillery, Bigalke blends various genres like techno, industrial, and broken beats into his own signature sound.

With his label “DON'T BE AFRAID OF YOURSELF”, he has created a platform where he can fully dedicate himself to techno—far from trends and hypes.

Bigalke is also a core member of HTXSTHSTX, a Dresden-based collective known for organizing a wide range of events.

His 90-minute podcast showcases a broad stylistic spectrum, ranging from harder sounds to experimental soundscapes.

The set was recorded live at Elipamanoke as part of an HTXSTHSTX event.

TONKASSETTE [Invites] 015 Bigalke

Release Date: 22.08.2025

Wordless, the stone drops, leaving shards without remorse. Shards fall, wounded, to the ground, no sound appears in the face of the light. Yesterday's darkness quietly rises in the magic of a gaze. The gaze is a crossroads: facing forward, feeling backward. The decision reveals itself in no color, for it unfolds within the stillness of the deep:
DON'T BE AFRAID OF YOURSELF

02 Richard Brook - Call Me Back (Strumm. Remix)

This project spreads across different soundscapes exploring and building new  vibratory paths that helps us navigate through a vast web of interconnected frequencies and rhythms, creating unique and intimate spaces for dancers to take part in a sonic experience in a way that can most directly connect the body, the mind and the soul to the main source as it transforms land forms into celestial beings.

It has been a very long way since the beginning of this piece but I am very happy to have it finally released! Always thankful for all the trust and understanding from all the artists involved and every who has been supporting, lovers and protectors of this journey on the alluring coherence between sound and creation.

Die achte Ausgabe von unserem New In Radio ist online – dieses Mal wieder äußerst divers und mit einem special Fokus auf Psy-Trance.

Es lief nicht alles ganz rund bei dieser Ausgabe, aber irgendwie ist am Ende doch eine recht runde neue Folge herausgekommen – finden wir zumindest. Lasst uns gern ein Feedback da. Wir hatten wieder Claudia mit im Studio, die uns ein wenig zum 10. Geburtstag der Bells-Echo-Konzertreihe erzählen konnte. 

Im Deep Dive featuren wir die neueste Compilation von Proper Pull. Mit ”Mutable Plains“ hat das Leipziger Kollektiv kürzlich einen Einblick in seine ravige und psy-trancige Seite gewährt. Und wir sind sehr angetan von dieser Zusammenstellung an lokalen und internationalen Acts.

Reinhören? Immer gern. Den Mitschnitt findet ihr die nächsten sieben Tage in der Mediathek von Radio Blau. Oder ihr bleibt einfach hier und hört es über Soundcloud.
