Excerpt from a mix from the vaults, probably recorded in 2016, at a giant limestone quarry in central Sweden. Most artists are old farts from Germany. 'Old' as in the direct inheritors of "Autobahn" and anything Kraut. Minimal, repetitive and dreamy - my kind of music for an introspective road trip.

Mixes, rarities and links from the golden years around 1999–2003 covering house, techno, deep minimal variation*, glitch, tech house, deep house, microhouse, nu jazz (future jazz, broken beat) and electro. Still amazed 24 years later… utopia exists, we have an incredible house and techno history.
