"To make music, that is when you are in love. It’s just so beautiful. It just makes you so terribly happy.”

Nearly two decades into Daniel Stefanik's accidental career, and the core of it remains the same: “To make music, that is when you are in love.” The quintessential Stefanik production style is yet to find its limitations. Dub, house, techno and minimal converge, deepness and melancholy encounter maximalist tones, extravagance is steeped in nerdy sound aesthetics, and it's all executed with his unmistakeable style. Born in a provincial district near Dresden, Daniel fell for techno in the mid-90s, and once he'd taken a heavy dose of electro, and turned out the debut EP Them People in 2003 with Matthias Tanzmann, there was no turning back. Releases and remixes with that special Stefanik-Feder(feather) followed for Mobilee, Cocoon, Growin Music, KANN, Dissonant, Freude am Tanzen, Dessous or Raum…Musik. The end of 2008 saw a the release of Daniel's critically acclaimed solo album Reactivity on Statik Entertainment, superseded only by the epic follow-up Confidence for Cocoon and his album Genesis on Statik Entertainment, which is strongly marked by his roots in Detroit Techno. Love is constant, love is change. Daniel is loyal to his Leipzig base and its tightknit scene, his long-running DJ residency at the city's Club Distillery, and to his namesake solo sound that spawned a string of releases for labels like Moon Harbour and Cocoon. With his alter ego DLSK he had his debut in 2015 and sought out the headiest moments on the after-hours dancefloors. With a range of future-forward projects in the pipeline for 2019 - new music, new EPs, handpicked gigs, a residency for the new event series SAFE HOUSE and some special back 2 back performances with his buddy Mathias Kaden - Daniel's love story continues to add more and more vital chapters.

We're elated to introduce our very special guest for the SPANDAU20 mixtape: @Efdemin 📼. A true legend in the electronic music scene, Efdemin embarked on his musical journey with his debut release in 2004, followed by his first album in 2006. Based in Berlin, he's not only a resident at the iconic Berghain club but also the curator of his vinyl-only label, naïf. His music is an embodiment of serenity and sophistication, characterized by an elegant darkness, subtle beauty, and a sense of unwavering composure. Efdemin's impressive discography spans LPs and 12-inch records on renowned labels like Dial, Curle, and Ostgut Ton. His versatility extends to remixes, including a memorable one for Depeche Mode, as well as his collaborative project Pigon with RNDM, and his exploration of drone and ambient soundscapes under his original name, Phillip Sollmann. 🎧

Efdemin's SPANDAU20 mixtape offers an immersive auditory journey, commencing with a potent voice sample from the celebrated artist Tracey Emin. The mixtape's sonic landscape is characterized by atmospheric elements, including the gentle sounds of birds, creating a serene and captivating ambiance. As the mixtape unfolds, it seamlessly transitions from ambient to deep, rhythmic beats. Its character is defined by sultry, groovy rhythms, complemented by the warmth of synthesizers that envelop the listener like a sonic embrace. Efdemin's deft use of vocal shots adds yet another layer of depth and intrigue, resulting in a rich tapestry of sound that promises a truly engaging experience for electronic music enthusiasts.🖤

This mix was impressed by one of the best clubs we had in Moscow - Krysha Mira. Unfortunately it was closed. 
Very nice people who've danced there still dance somewhere in different places, but I'm sure every of them brings a piece of the atmosphere they once got into touch on Krysha.
That makes us special. Because the atmosphere there was amazing.
