Deep Techno Blog Mix Vol.08: Warschauer Strasse

Deep & Slow. This has been the initial musical concept of the blog. Deep & Slow Tech with this post bearing the exact feeling of the genre. Bpms at around 122, fat chords and basslines, 55 minutes of delicious deep tech house & techno music. The podcast is inspired by my last visit in Berlin. Warschauer Strasse. Where our days started and our adventures came to an end. You know the spot. That big bridge with the great view of East Berlin, S3, S9 lines crossing underneath, crowded at day and night. This mix comes with all my memories of the trip.

Deep Techno Blog Mix Vol.07: Back 2 House

You can't say you haven't felt it. The Chicago sound is back. Not the cheesy sub-genres that drove house movement to more mainstream paths. But the pure, underground sound of house music. Dry beats, fat basslines and a flavor of funk. This mix tries to give you an essence of house and deep tech house music, featuring 16 new tracks that brought the house music back on the scene.

Wait a second, did i say 16?

Sorry, let's make it 15 new, plus one track from the past. A ten years old track, yet underground fresh. It's up to you to discover or, if you're old enough, remember yourself dancing to it, around the year 2000 ;)

Deep Techno Blog Mix Vol.06: A Late August Dusk

A Late August Dusk concept in October? A bit late though, the idea of this mix was actually conceived in the end of the last summer. It is one of my favorite mixes and i thought it deserved to be posted. It tries to give the perception of a late august dusk, when it is still summer, but everyone feels that the end is coming. Earlier sunsets, cooler evenings. A sweet yet decadent flavor...

Deep Techno Blog Mix Vol.04: October 98

It has been 10 years already since October 1998, a month that proved to be a breaking point of my life, a start of the most exciting period. Not much more to say about that. "October 98", the 4th mix of the Deep Techno Blog is not a musical retrospective of these years, although it was initially thought to be one. It accompanies my deepest thoughts & my sweetest memories of this period, consisting of 14 tracks of modern techno & tech house music, moving to a harder musical direction than the previous, deeper, mixes.

Dedicated to my friends. You know who you are.

Enjoy!

Deep Techno Blog Mix Vol 03: Sunsetspotters

Every afternoon during summer, tourists are heading to the village of Oia, on the west coast of the island of Santorini. It is considered to be one of the best spots in the Aegean to watch the sunset because of the elevation of the site giving the impression of a sun dipping into the sea. In fact, everyone recognizes this rumor to be exaggerated but who can blame other people for trying to find the best spot to watch the sunset when everyone of us has done it at least once?

This mix, the 3rd of the Deep Techno Blog series, is a tribute to this moment. 64 minutes of deep techno inspired by a late august afternoon in Santorini, among hundreds of people sharing the same experience: A quest for a mystical moment as the summer ends...
