https://soundcloud.com/jotel: I have a soft spot for club music meant for the later hours, the sets I have the fondest memories of all happened sometime in the morning, best if you can see the early sunlight through some small slits, shining on a murky dancefloor. My favorite time to play! 

This vinyl-only mix is a late-night blend of trippy yet forward-thinking and driving club music. Sometimes progressive, sometimes tech house, whatever you may call it, this mix is a mix of the best of today's productions. I guess around half of the tracks are 90s stuff.

With tracks by: https://soundcloud.com/eversines, https://soundcloud.com/shjva, https://soundcloud.com/nicolacruz, https://soundcloud.com/susumuyokotaofficial, https://soundcloud.com/pyramidofknowledge, https://soundcloud.com/marklando, https://soundcloud.com/s-o-n-s, and many more.

Growing up in Munich, it was the environment of Berlin, and in particular the now defunct underground venue Griessmuehle, that shaped the early sound of Jo, then known as ioth.

Influenced by local communities and international music avant-garde shaped the sound that became the Jotel California

trademark: Melting together trance, house, acid, and electro into a bubbling cauldron of progressive energies.

As a DJ, he's proved his mettle on countless club floors and DIY raves he's organized with friends outside Berlin.

With releases on labels such as Klasse Wrecks, Inch by Inch, and of course his own Warning crew, he quickly made a name for himself among musical connoisseurs and hungry ravers alike.

https://soundcloud.com/attendances: This mix is inspired by nature, evolving starting from more chill sounds with low bpm,
moving on to more introspective moments, others more stormy and intense, ending with more melodic, sweet, and sunny moments with a higher bpm but always slowed down.
Living immersed in a nature reserve, accustomed to different meteorological changes even during the same day, I was inspired by this alternation of atmospheric events, mixing different old and new sound languages, alternating the intensity of moments like the passage of time.

https://soundcloud.com/moysantana: This is an assortment of what is in rotation through my speakers when I want to highlight the more subdued sections of my collection, beginning with a deeper, darker set of tracks and veering into more acidic tinges and dubby undertones.
