My Camp Cosmic set 2018 from Humboldthain, Berlin on the Krossfingers podcast series:
I was hesitating for 9 months due to the wild mix of Soviet, US and German disco. However when listening with some distance I overcame my doubts and felt my original intention again to rather create a universal uplifting feeling of happiness. Could that even be the essence of the Camp Cosmic in a nut shell?

ID, please!
Here are 10 more records and their story. Not too obscure of course, cause I was asked to list bargain bin finds instead. I completely disagree with Dixon who once said a DJ failed his job when he doesn’t play more than 80% of new records. If I wasn’t so damn sophisticated I’d embrace to use the f-word in reply! Obviously you are limited to this month’s news instead of scooping from the 500 months before (do the maths)! Further the music didn’t stand the test of time. Since we can’t really foresee and judge the newest developments we are likely to play ‘the shallow soundtrack of average today’. I wanna play music you CAN listen to in 20 or 40 years! Your minimal techno set from 15 years ago, your schranz set from 20 years ago, my electroclash set from 18 years ago? Crap! It’s testament to its era at max!
Let’s make that clear: You are completely generic and tasteless when you play more than 80% of new records! Your set I mean – but maybe you, too? Cheers!
