This Is Not Happening is a vinyl-only record label, website & club night based in London (Fabien Spagnolo) and Berlin (Michael Candler).
For their blog we delivered a 3½ h back to back set recorded at our favourite hang out Dr. Seltsam in Leipzig. A set filled with Cosmic, disco, Italo, new wave, synth, minimal-wave, ambient and of course a lot of edits, lost gems and picks from the vault that will make the perfect soundtrack to your Sunday.

They also have a house label resting in a slow pace on position 002: https://soundcloud.com/thisisnothappening
Soviet new wave and disco records only. Only. I mean – only! Only Soviet stuff.
Read the story behind the process told by bad boy Roland!

… from the Algerian Raï EP on Rat Life Records?
Oliver Hafenbauer opened his Boiler Room set with the weird preset drum track Haunted Samba is.
Haunted Samba was charted by Leipzigs finest Steffen Bennemann.
And it was played by Ostgut Ton regular Roman Lindau in his Invite podcast:
The multi label crooner Chuggy (Emotional Response / Emotional Rescue / Sacred Summits / …) dropped it in his eclectic-as-fuck NTS radio show:

And Axel Boman likes it! 
oh kiss my neck and make me shiver!
this is like that time i met a norwegian girl in thailand around 2002 and thought she’s too hot for me but then she suddenly put her hand in my trousers and said something about my my neck my back lick my pussy and my crack (allthough it could have been something completely different, drunk norwegian is not easy to understand for a swede) and later on the beach she fell asleep on my chest while the sun came up and years later i met her in oslo but then the magic was all gone
so, 5/5 in my crate!
Leftfield connoisseurs however prefer the A-side with the Maghreb vibe that Algerian Raï has.
Cosmo Vitelli played it for his radio mix on Rinse FM:
So did Mark Van De Maat – who runs Knekelhuis – quite in the middle of his podcast on DJbroadcast.net (links to full article and interview):

Lithuanian Serial Experiments in collab with their whypeopledance collective posted Layer #63 with my guest mix out now! This mix was recorded on occasion of a Frigio label night with Hesperius Draco and Traxx on the line-up for the La Fete Triste promoters from Paris . The club is called Batofar – a house boat on the Seine, Paris.
EBM Yugoslavian Italo Industrial Synth Pop JustRhythms NDW plus an inofficial Mick Wills edit – my recent set from Musikfreunde @ Sektor Evolution (30th of May) became the podcast for Clubbingspain.com. Each single track was edited. The third quarter was sheer madness – N:trance. And the closing is an edit of somewhat of a leftfield Donna Summer. I feel love. Along with an interview in Spanish about recent music and gossip, amigo mio. The English version further down if you feel like while listening …
BTW – after me played Monomood (shtum) his techno live set and Bronko T (Private Message/VMBT) a fabulous set of American house on the authentic and hard side of things. What a night … ! oOoOoh!

Don’t call it … no actually it’s a comeback. Vinyl is back. At Media Markt as I witnessed this week and in your hood – like here:
All black wax. Stupid samples on dumb rhythms, trippy aural art, cosmic journeys, body-mechanics and cheesy pop.

From sessions I played at Zodiac and 101 I assembled some weirdo blues for the Lunatic podcast to further explore the ground I paved with the Holistical EP.
It features partly unreleased stuff by June, CVBOX, Carlos Peron, IBM, Elbee Bad & my mate Jacob Korn. Beware of this serious and mental bangin – NOTHING here for your office muzak or commuting metro I-pod pleasure!:
