Half of January is already history, and only now a Half of January is already history, and only now am I getting around to post my traditional end-of-year message. In 2025, there were once again 25 wonderful DJ events at 7 locations with great organisers and fantastic guests. I would like to thank once again the wonderful people who helped me on site, who played records with me and who danced with me. In these difficult times, we all need positive energy and moments that lift us up. I am looking forward to the upcoming DJ evenings in 2026. Take care, everyone.

The first vinyl release of 2026 focuses on migrati The first vinyl release of 2026 focuses on migration. And this at a time when intolerance and xenophobia are enjoying a resurgence and many die-hard fascists dream of deportations.

The fourth edition of the „A guide to the birdsong...“ series is dedicated to the theme of migration, the boundless wandering between the worlds of musicians and birds. Lido Pimienta, who divides her time between Colombia and Canada, Diana Gameros with her life story between Mexico and the USA, Valesuchi, who comes from Chile and lives in Brazil, plus other musicians from North and South America. And each piece is dedicated to a species of bird that travels long distances and knows no boundaries. An exciting album on a highly topical subject.

One last post in the old year. The end of the year One last post in the old year. The end of the year was pretty turbulent, but things are slowly calming down and we’re starting the new year with fresh energy.

So here’s the beautiful double album „Through The Wire“ by @captain.planet.music, which contains the captain’s magnificent remixes, including ones by La Yegros and Luzmila Carpio. Great music for your next party. 🔥

Let’s hope together for a happy new year, in which many people come to their senses and some crazy, power-hungry lunatics step down. Hope dies last…

Record of the week: Captain Planet - Dig This is Record of the week: Captain Planet - Dig

This is not the German punk band of the same name, but rather the producer and DJ from Los Angeles. Just to clarify.

"Dig" is now his sixth album and should have an immediate impact on the dance floor. As usual, the captain mixes global folk music traditions with contemporary beats to produce high-energy dance music. The album features vocalists from Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Nigeria, Ghana and Angola; the musical influences come from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Unlike his previous albums, "Dig" is essentially very upbeat, almost House-like. In any case, it’s a super multifaceted record for dancing.

I consider Dendemann to be one of the best German I consider Dendemann to be one of the best German rappers. Musically, it all works for me: Fat old-school beats and exceptional samples from Hilde Knef to Su Kramer, no trashy pseudo-gangster crap. And the lyrics are powerful. The wordplay and vocabulary are unique. Period.

Record of the week: Peter Thomas Sound Orchester - Record of the week: Peter Thomas Sound Orchester - Der Kommissar (Music from the original TV-series)

It’s finally here! @allscoremedia presents us with this soundtrack from the legendary crime series „Der Kommissar.“ And you wouldn’t believe how funky Kommissar Keller, Walter, Robert, Harry, and (in later episodes) Erwin were. The tracks really capture the spirit of the times, with a mix of hippie, Beat, Soul, Schlager and youth culture. And this limited edition comes in a wonderful loden green.

„Der Kommissar“ is a German television crime series from 1969 to 1976, starring Erik Ode in the title role. It was written by Herbert Reinecker and set in Munich and the surrounding area. A special feature of the series was that, although color television already existed, it was filmed entirely in black and white until the last episode in 1976. Of course, in many episodes (in keeping with the spirit of the times), there was heavy smoking and drinking everywhere. A great series and the favorite crime series of my beloved @frausey ❤️ and me. Wonderfully nostalgic…

Record of the week: Miss Platnum - Chefa Miss Pla Record of the week: Miss Platnum - Chefa

Miss Platnum, who hails from Romania, released a fantastic album in 2007 with Chefa, combining R&B, Hip Hop, and Balkan influences.

I remember the super cool music video for „Come marry me“ featuring Peter Fox. The album also includes the anti-slimming anthem „Give me the food,“ the dance floor hits „Mercedes Benz“ and „Butter,“ and other great tracks. Musically, it’s no coincidence that it sounds a bit like Seeed, as DJ Illvibe was involved in the musical production. So hop to it: Put the Vodka on the table and let the party begin!

If we dig deeper into the musical history of Easte If we dig deeper into the musical history of Eastern Europe, we find this gem: Jugoton Funk Vol. 2 – More Beats, Soul, Disco, and Jazz from Yugoslavia 1968–1982.

Jugoton was the largest record label and chain record store in the former Yugoslavia, based in Zagreb. And this double album features a bunch of funky grooves, ready for the dance floor. Highly recommended.

Record of the week: Various - Socialist Disco (Dan Record of the week: Various - Socialist Disco (Dancing behind Yugoslavia’s Velvet Curtain 1977-1987)

I have a soft spot for obscure and unusual compilations, so this double album was just right for me! According to online retailer HHV, this record is one of the best compilations of 2024.

Expertly curated by label owners Leri Ahel and Zeljko Luketic, the compilation includes Zdenka Vučković’s Croatian cover version of Gloria Gaynor’s „I Will Survive,“ a reinterpretation of „Vamos a la Playa“ by the group Opatijski Suveniri, and a decidedly cosmic version of Jade’s „I’m Gonna Get Your Love“ by Roman Butina. And the Yugoslav musicians‘ willingness to experiment extends beyond such cover versions, from Disco and Funk to Italo Disco and influences from Punk and New Wave. It doesn’t all sound perfect and polished, but it is exciting and full of joy. A very cool album. Want to hear it? Then come to my next DJ night.

A spontaneous impulse buy brought me this masterpiece of 70s and 80s TV series music: The music from the crime series „Derrick“ and „Der Alte“ by the Peter Thomas Sound Orchester in a limited edition in „trench coat beige.“ Simply brilliant. 🧥

Unfortunately, this is only a reissue of the legen Unfortunately, this is only a reissue of the legendary debut album by German band Neu!, but compared to other new pressings with original covers, this one has very good sound quality. 

The album was originally released in 1972 and was named after the band. This edition dates from 1979 and is titled „Hallogallo.“ And it is precisely this track that is legendary: 10 minutes of improvisation with lots of reverb and effects on the guitar, guitar passages played backwards, and the hypnotic, monotonous drumbeat („Motorik,“ 4/4 time with an almost continuous bass drum) by Klaus Dinger. A great piece of Krautrock and a milestone that has influenced many bands.

Record(s) of the week: Can - The lost tapes Kraut Record(s) of the week: Can - The lost tapes

Krautrock, Avant-garde, electronic music, experimental music, but please, don't call it Rock music (as far as the musicians in this band are concerned). Founded in Cologne in 1968, the band Can cannot be pigeonholed into any particular musical style. It’s not really easy listening, but it is exciting. "The Lost Tapes" is a 5 lp box set with lavish packaging and a beautiful booklet, but unfortunately it’s no longer easy to find (at an affordable price). I had to have the box set if only for the title track to the German 1970 television film "Das Millionenspiel" (absolutely worth seeing!). In addition, everything from repetitive psychedelic improvisations to sound experiments is included in this box set. A piece of German music history from the late 1960s and the 1970s, a time when musical experiments also had a chance of (limited) commercial recognition.

Record of the week: The Take Vibe E.P. - The Take Record of the week: The Take Vibe E.P. - The Take Vibe E.P.

This week we have a small record, but what a beauty!

Blue, transparent splatter vinyl with a mash-up giant by Laurence Mason. During the coronavirus lockdown, he mixed the Jazz classic „Take Five“ with „Golden Brown“ by The Stranglers and created a groovy, jazzy version that was a massive hit on YouTube when it was released. So the label Jazz Room Records asked him if he wanted to record and release the song. No sooner said than done, and here is the beautiful piece…

Found on the street! My beloved @frausey found a Found on the street!

My beloved @frausey found a small plastic box on the side of the road under a sign that said „Free to a good home.“ And what was inside? A large collection of 7“ singles, mostly Italian pop and disco from the 70s and 80s! Amazing! I’m all set for the next Italo night. 

Many thanks and lots of love to my @frausey ❤️.

By the way: The records weren’t in the pizza box (that’s just for the cliché). The sticker on the second slide is from the plastic box. Cute, isn’t it?

Buon appetito! 🇮🇹
