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!

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!:
Parisian blog Les Yeux Orange presents a mix of mine. You can just jack and swing with it or you take it as a lesson in the history of house music i.e. Chicago, NY, NJ and even a track from Montreal. On top of all I squeezed in an obscure “off the beaten track” by myself (guess which one!).
Check their regular posts of tracks, reviews, podcast and dates!
Enjoy, folks! And if you dip your croissants into your café catch me playing soon in France!
