New podcast hosted by the Left Bank, Tbilisi where I was playing in November 2021.
In order to contrast the usual trendy
slo-mo/fast-HC/breaks/distortedPseudoIndustrial mixes
I submit a rollercoaster ride from my archives with a clear reference to Chicago.
It was recorded in the garden of About Blank, Berlin at a party hosted by Uncanny Valley . I have been affiliated with the label from Dresden since the beginning (they released over 100 records spread through 3 labels and side-projects). I will have 2 EPs and an LP with them within the next 12 months.
Review 1h left of the centre. Left of the field. Playing Polar Praxis, Matador (post-Malaria), Pop Negatif Wastad, Single Gun Theory … for the 2nd anniversary of Mutant Radio.
I couldn’t find it myself on yt, but got the link from Mutant Radio.
So whoever missed our show – here we go again!
Mike Tansella Jr., me + Chris Mitchell in Tiblisi with 3 very different sets, yet in the same musical orbit and mindset.
My hour in the middle is focussed on synth pop … more than ever!!! So it’s very melodic, gloomy, in parts aggressive and towards the end almost divine (demos by Scannoir & me).
A relict of the past – a night at Kassablanca Jena in the year 2007. Presenting even more reminiscent house records at a time when the sound was nowhere else to be heard in Thuringia.
Sometimes you are just lucky to record a perfect session. A timeless selection that aged very well. Even the “hits” don’t bother me after listening to it countless times.
Thanks to Da Niel from AROMA + for the request and occasion to present this archival recording!

The mix originates from our annual “Uncanny Valley Betriebsweihnachtsfeier” in December last year but due to too much distortion, you re-recorded it afterwards. What did you have in mind for the original set and how did it evolve in the process afterwards?
The set was supposed to weave psychedelic leftfield tendencies, 80s extravaganza with classic Ron Hardy style and acid madness. In the DAW I pretty much reassembled the distorted recording …
