Musik, Leben und der ganze Rest

Fin'lly, winter is gone, march is over, and it's time for another best-of-DJ-mix! This one starts one a mellow note (with a pop song at 116 bpm, in fact), before going through some krauty, funky disco tracks towards some cleaner House before electro and techno are winning out with +126bpm in the end. So, something for everyone, really, but mixed with style - and of course, some wonky transitions here and there put in on purpose so you know this is a vinyl set :-) Labels featured: XL Recordings Nachtiville Tryck&Thon (They're new, check them out!) Text Records Public Possession Muzik&Friendz Life&Death Musica Autonomica Kompakt F Communications Holger Herzblut Recordings Have fun and see you for the next mix - it's not so far away!

Happy new years, anybody! This is the last quarterly best-of-mix for 2015 - boy, what a year it was! Lots of bad stuff happened, but lots of good did too! At least musically speaking... This mix is a journey through poppy, house-y as well as some crazy and techno-y stuff - a lot of ups and downs, just like last year. But the upside is: You can dance to it! Or enjoy it any way you want, really. Have fun! This mix features records by the following labels: Banoffee Pies U-KNOW-Y (a new label from Augsburg - keep it up!) Permanent Vacation Whities Muzik&Friendz (another new label and one of the reasons last year was not so bad, really) Life&Death Unknown Deetroit TRAAX Infiné Boys Noize Records Pastamusik Environ and, would you believe it, Ostgut Ton. If you like this mix, follow these labels, support their artists and, as always: Have fun and until next time!

In order to get into the right mood for christmas, for this mix I've selected a few beautiful, deep tracks, that take it slow (at first :-)) and lift you up to higher spheres. Enjoy this while decorating your christmas tree, stuffing a duck or preparing presents for your loved ones - it'll all work. Or so I hope... Merry christmas to all of you!

This is part 2 of my quarterly vinyl only DJ mix, autumn '15 edition. Taking it slow at first, it is laid back enough to chill, take a stroll through the park and watch the leaves fall down, but, gaining momentum towards the great finale (it's that Frankey&Sandrino track that won best Ibiza track of the year, but don't tell anyone, I bought the record way earlier), is still driving enough to keep you going through the darker parts of the year. It features tracks from the following labels: Kompakt (yes it does) Pastamusik (still incredible) Kitjen (Wow!) Domino (Would you believe it?) Aroma Pitch (Who? Other People (Other people can rock) Monkeytown (The queen is dead, long live the queen!) Life and Death (...exactly.) keinemusik (doch musik!) Innervisions (of course) As always, give this a spin, then go buy the records you like - the labels will thank you. And remember: Always believe in good! :-) Cheers, Daniel

Boy, this sure is a hot summer, isn't it? At least where I live... So I thought a do a one-off DJ mix of a bit slower, lounge-y, summery tunes that would not typically find their way in a House set, just because they're more about Jackie Cola than jacking... This mix features tracks by labels Monkeytown, Young Turks, Ruf Dug, Permanent Vacation, Public Possession, Disko B, Have A Killer Time, Live At Robert Johnson, Musica Autonomica, Correspondant, and a white label, and is vinyl only except for the last track which is an itsy bitsy edit I did of a 90s song I liked :-) Have fun in this hot summer, enjoy all the hot parties and cold drinks you can get, and see you again for regular part 3, sometime in early autumn!

Fin'lly Vin'lly '15.2 - like you do your weekends This is the second installment of the series, just in time for the end of the 2nd quarter of the year - promised you you wouldn't have to wait so long for the sequel :-) This mix features music from labels like Young Turks, Fungo.pt, Ostgut Ton, Compost, Musica Autonomica, Infectious Music, Beste Modus' Sublabel Beste Freunde, Kompakt, Live At Robert Johnson, Permanent Vacation, and HOLGER, and is a bit of a journey to the deep, with a meandering twist. Have fun with the mix and stay tuned for the next installment, which will be a summer lounge special! Cheers, Daniel

Fin'lly Vin'lly 15.1 - Starting the year off late but right... This is the first installment in a series of quarterly DJ-mixes which will showcase the tracks that most moved me in the last three months (the top, the summit, the apogee - hence the pic). I know it's June already, so I'm late with this one, but that only means you don't have to wait so long for the other ones :-) This Mix features vinyls from german labels like Monkeytown, Public Possession, Pastamusik, Stil vor Talent, Index Marcel Fengler, Kitjen,... as well as great labels from abroad like Levon Vincent music, keysound recordings, and lobster theremin. I hope you have fun with this one and stay tuned for the next installment :-) Cheers, Daniel
