For almost ten years now, the producer from Berlin has been releasing deeply driving, sensitive dance music that strongly tempts you to fall in love on the dance floor. In 2020, Philipp founded his own label, called Stolar, which regularly releases digital and vinyl releases by himself and other artists, with many reshapes and interpretations by other producers. Highly recommended!

This mix is the end of PlemmPlemm's live recorded DJ set at the Entropic Soundscape festival near Tirane. He played from 2am to 5am, after Linear Demand and before Jean Etat, who recorded FATPOD69. PlemmPlemm is a DJ and producer from Hamburg. His interest in groovy and experimental visions of techno music can be heard very well from the mix, as well as the rising sun in Albania and the soft ending as a perfect transition to Jean.

Kaep, the passionate vinyl DJ from Leipzig, who not only buys records but has also recently started manufacturing records at R.A.N.D, has fired up his turntables for us and produced a fat DJ set. He has long been an integral part of the breakbeat-loving part of the electronic scene. As one of the two heads behind Row Records, he regularly provides great new releases, which of course should not be missing in such a mix ;) Thanks a lot!

For this reason, we are especially happy that the 72nd edition of the Freude am Tanzen podcast comes from Freund der Familie.

These two youngsters coming straight from the mothership Kassablanca. Usually they act in the background of a show, now it's time for their own FATPOD. Spinning records together for a few years now, the two are standing for musical variety and genreless mixing. Both are deeply rooted in the Hip Hop scene as you can hear in the mix. Expect a wild ride from halftime to doubletime and back. Rap, Breaks, Electro and more.

An epic year comes to an end! Ilja Gabler and DJ Legeres are presenting the final episode in 2020. Both of them are true universal artists.Their musical passion doesn't belong in just one genre, nor is their artistic origin only in the turntable business. They were and are among other things band members, promoters, Zeitgeister, mixtapesemigods and soundengineering monsters. The very fertile Jenamusic climate zones, with THE epicenter "Kassablanca", was allways helpful for this development.
