Being socialized in the GDR himself Dunkeltier (German for dark beast) aka SneakerDJ delivers a recording of two and a half hours of German (+ Austrian & Swiss) synth music from the early 80s commonly dubbed as NDW (the commercial tag) and from the Kassettentäterszene (underground tape scene). [edit: a song with English vocals and a classic one by Absolute Body Control sneaked in] The mix was recorded for eternity at the small community-run venue Pracht in the wilderness of East Germany we know as Leipzig.

This mix for Memory Screen was recorded at the legendary ‘Hot On The Heels’ night at the California Clipper. Shortly after Halloween 2024, the enigmatic Dunkeltier played the monthly, mid-week night started nearly 20 years ago and hosted by Beau Wanzer. In his 2.5 hour set, Dunkeltier brought the hyper-local Neue Deutsche Welle (the commercial tag) and Kassettentäter (DIY tape scene) sounds to Chicago exposing party goers to what he considers “THE LATER MUSICAL PENDANT TO THE 20s GERMAN DADA ART MOVEMENT”.
For those curious about the cultural background of the scenes behind the mix, here is an interview with the Dunkeltier for Discus Throwers (Wiener Brut):
