A: This mix is full of music that shaped my understanding of melodic techno. The youngest track in the mix is 10 years old! It‘s from Stimming, one of the most influential acts in my early days. Extrawelt opened my mind with their album from 2008. I had great dances to those songs, floating over the dance floor. I played them really often in my sets back then. The grinding sound of a young Bodzin and Holden’s epic remix „The Sky Was Pink”, defined my perception of a certain aesthetics in Melodic Techno. The opening track in this mix is aswell the oldest one. It´s a King Crimson song from 1969, which still drives me nuts when i hear it. Q: From Berlins roof Klunkerkranich to the best clubs and labels on the planet. How did you get connected with the electronic music scene? A: I started with turntables and Hip-Hop around 20 years ago. Really low profile, more or less just for me. When I came to Berlin 17 years ago, I wasn’t quite in contact with Techno music yet. I had some Progressive Rock projects and a Hip-Hop live band. I was also producing Hip-Hop beats and step by step I came closer to French House. Almost 12 years ago I met my partner in crime, Dorle. My Electronic and Techno adventure started with her. I was quite lucky to bump into a really adorable group of people as a very young guy. They became quite quickly kind of my family and with them I started to explore this crazy world of four-on-the-floor. My love for this music has never stopped since then. After a long break, not making music for years, I started 2019 my new project, with my real name. In 2019 I released music for Stil Vor Talent, Rebellion Der Träumer, Mono Noise, Chapter 24 and many more. Q: Which exciting projects are on the way? A: I’m really happy to be part of this podcast family now! Another podcast, with a more modern track selection will come out by the end of March. Very new is as well a solo remix for Panik Pop that was released 13th of March. It's a dancefloor uptempo tune. I´m also working on new music/remixes with my production partner Vruno, to be released by Kamai Music – the label that I co-founded with Jacob Groening, Zigan Aldi & the beloved Bonfante in 2018. I’m also really excited about my next appearances at Stil Vor Talent in April and June: it will be a collaboration with Rauschhaus and my other studio partner (and kind of brother) Daniele Di Martino. We've been chosen by Oli Koletzki for his upcoming 15 years birthday compilation. More remixes for different artists are coming up and I’m looking also forward to my first joint release with Vruno at Get Physical this summer.
