Synth-pop, italo disco, cold wave, space disco…
This mixtape is meant as a nostalgic journey into the world of arpeggiated synths, syncopated basslines and motorik rhythms, bridging the gap between late 70′s / 80′s gems and contemporary productions. I’ve been working on it sporadically for quite a while, re-editing a lot of the tracks and assembling the mix brick by brick. I first meant it to be an hour-long mix but slowly got carried away, ending up with over a hundred minutes of music.
I hope you like it.

This is the first of a series of mixtapes I plan on doing in the near future. The following ones will most likely explore other music genres I love to listen to and enjoy playing in my sets.

I went for a walk along the Spree yesterday and brought my (little shitty) camera with me. Between the grey sky, the concrete, the snow and the ice, it looked as if colors had faded and I was in a black and white world. I tried to capture some of the incredible post-wall architecture you can find around Hauptbahnhof and the Bundestag.

I was inspired by my what my friend Arr is doing over in London.
