This mix really reflects the era when I was deep into partying. Going out to places in Berlin like Polar TV, WMF and Sternradio Afterhour in the first years after the turn of the Millennium. I’m still amazed by the ideas and incredible productions from back then. Techno in that period was definitely driven by a much more emotional sound, probably a reason why the pills kicked in a bit better. It wasn’t an easy task to find all my old favorites, mainly because I only knew a few of the track titles and could only remember the melodies of most of them. So I definitely poured a lot of time and passion into this mix. A few times while I was recording I got serious goosebumps, it felt like I was time traveling. I’m really happy that I finally managed to finish it, I hope you enjoy it!

This journey has a special flow and energy and is decently mixing different genres by finding connections. It reflects a train ride while looking out of a window, seeing trees passing by and experience the single sounds communicate with each other. The mixing (vinyl only) could have been better, sorry for this! Hope you like it nevertheless!

This mix is  mostly made up of slow, organic, deep, melodic and transcendent sounds that I’ve been collecting for a very long time now. For me, it reflects an intimate and personal journey through those sounds, which I can finally share. This set is about slowing down. It’s about discovering one’s deep self and just being present in the now.

This mix is a collection of music that I currently like and listen to around the house, on flights, or in the car driving. I like a wide variety of genres not only centered around electronic music.

On a cold and hazy winter night, walking along a dark deserted street, I was overcome by an uncomfortable yet strangely familiar feeling - paralysed by a sense of anxious foreboding, I suddenly was blinded by a brilliant light above and against my own comprehensive faculty was stretched into the sky, the accelerating velocity ejecting my body and mind out of Earth’s stratosphere. Subsequently, I was tossed far into the depth of our solar system - its vast space, distant planets and rocky asteroid belts - and down into the abyss of my subconscious mind.

The mix is about suppressed emotions and how they betray us when least expected.

This mix was recorded at Institut für Zukunft in Leipzig, where we played a four hour opening set. We made some small edits and added some tracks to finalise the mix. There is a magic about playing opening sets, and this night was special in particular — the lights got turned off and we played our first ambient track as a tuft of smoke was blown into club, which remained midair in the middle of the dance floor, like a sculpture — and it slowly vanished. The first guest came in and sat down against the concrete column, listening attentively as more smoke-sculptures formed around him. We were happy to play the first 20 minutes just for him.

A cinematic soundscape through several ﬁlm directors, soundtrack composers and electronic music producers which have strongly inspired my work in terms of visual and sound aesthetics... From Klaus Schulze to Stanley Kubrick... I wanted to create a sonic script where I hope you will discover the secret history within... Enjoy!

I was given free reign to do what I want - which is both liberating and kinda scary. Where will this one go? It took me a few hours to come up with the concept - just enough time for the sun to come up and scorch everything beneath it. It's a summer mix. In and out. It's the lazy afternoon, it's the post-coitus smearing across the bed, it's strutting down the street with confidence. It's the road-trip where no one cares when you get there, it's your thousand-mile stare across the city, the quiet evening with someone you can get deep with, it's your own thoughts which swirl and shift from one impulsive decision to another. It's the suggestion of a smile on her face, the one that can mean so many things. It's day and night. It's everything connected, and it's just you, on your own. And your feelings, which touch the sky and the horizon. I usually say "play it loud!" after every mix I share. This one... just let it happen :)

This mix is about memories of being young in a small town, the strange things we found to amuse ourselves, and how nostalgia works in weird ways.

Some sounds are better absorbed in isolation, this mix is intended for solo listening, preferably in darkness with all channels open.

This mix is about the growing love for autumn. It's not always something easy to love, but it's the perception of this stunning transition.

It's an industrially driven energetic catharsis of anxiety for our planet's future that culminates in my comfort zone of coldwave.

This mix has been made with a “collage” type of work in mind, using small bits from a lot of different tracks to make an entirely new one. This is already something I have been experimenting with when I DJ but I wanted to take things a bit further with a more precise and surgical approach which a studio mix allows for. To achieve that, I've reworked and edited 99% of the songs I used, it took ages but was a very interesting and rewarding process that basically enabled me to make whole new edits of my all time favorite tracks.

The narrative of this mix is based around a picture of a landscape that I took recently (which is also the cover art for the mix). The place is Pico de las Nieves in Gran Canaria. I stood there a while back and took this photo gazing out at Mount Teide, a volcano on the neighboring island of Tenerife. With the mix I wanted to get a sense of the expansiveness, connection to nature and joy of being alive that I felt as I stood there, alongside the raw power of nature - the sea, the mountains, the volcano. I imagined moving, with this music as  my companion, from my standing place out over the island, across the sea to the volcano and then beyond to the horizon on the other side.

For this recording I was asked to provide an image that played into the sonic narrative of the mix. I chose a photo I shot in the Arashiyama forest in Kyoto.  This photograph always brings me back to a vivid moment in which time stood still and I simply enjoyed the present.  It allowed for making a mix in isolation ever so much more enjoyable. No matter how abrasive or gentle, music shares so many similarities with the textures, colors, shapes, and movements of more organic entities.
