Industries Mix for Transcen:dance

In this mix for Transcen:dance I am presenting a selection of German electronic music that I consider relevant for my musical journey. It contains both music of friends of mine and music of more known historic musicians, some of whom have been recommended to me while preparing this mix.

Expect a blend of orchestral music, ambient sounds, noise, sound art, left field electronica, a chiptune choir, dirty synthesizers, electro, techno and some classic German electronic music.

Listen here!

Art School Live Festival 2022 Festival

I really enjoyed playing a DJ set at the Art School Live Festival 2022 next Friday from 6-8 pm with proceeds going to Brighter Sound.

My DJ set was a sonic journey through idiosyncratic beats by left-field electronica producers who think beyond genre, driven by a passion for sound and a sense of adventure.

Thank you for everyone who came down with special thanks to Evan for pulling this wonderful festival together and to Anna and Timmy for the pictures.
