I Hate the 20s!!!

Yes I do! I remember how many club owners and promoters fancied the 2020s to become as fabulous as the 1920s (what they weren't). It came different and every year it gets worse. Society is fucked up, freedom in danger and we're at the brink of a senseless war. I absolutely understand people getting stunned at the club. Nevertheless, that's why I got tired posting mixes or related stuff. Tough times. But anyway, I collected a few tunes from 2020-22 to channel my anger. Here you go:

Isolation....

I guess this year has been the weirdest for all of us. I feel sorry for lots of people who lost jobs, health, sanity. However, I spent a lot of cash for records during the year. Since I couldn't go to concerts or clubs, I invested in more in hardware. Ths included some upgrades to my soundsystem at home. Here's the first mix I made with it during my self-isolation...

Als wärs das letzte Mal...

 

DAF were responsible turning me into hard Electronics when I saw them live as a young teenager at Philipshalle Düsseldorf early 80s. Blueprint for EBM and most prominently translated by early Nitzer Ebb. Back then until today I think Gabi and Robert were the most sexy duo of the 80s. Gabi‘s cold voice over Robert’s harsh beats still gives me shivers. I did‘t follow their re-union from the early Noughties. Their first comeback show at Casino Berlin was a straight disappointment, proving my rule not to go and see bands I‘ve seen in their best days. However, DAF remained my all-time EBM heroes. Very sad to hear that Gabi‘s voice is now silent forever. Als wär‘s das letzte Mal. My DAF song for eternity.... 

This Is The End

2019 is coming to an end, the decade is coming to an end and an era as well. People phantasize the 2020's will become the next 1920s. But the future is in fact dystopian. Hate, anger, oppressionare on the rise and my personal view is not very positive. Here's the final mix, looking back and into a dark future. Grim, gritty, bouncing. Recorded without solid monitoring, so please excuse some glitches.
