We aren’t sure what it about Germany that allows the country to produce such a high volume of quality electronic music but there surely must be something to it. The air? The water? Well, we can neither confirm or deny any theory regarding why the area is such a hotbed of creativity for electronic music but rather revel in Germanic cool. This weeks Podcast sees us head to back to the Fatherland as fast rising Berlin native Discrete Circuit serves up an hour long set of selections for our listening pleasure.
Having lit up 2015 with a series of stellar releases on the likes of Mistress and his own AWAY Music imprint, the East German producer looks set to maintain his momentum well into the coming year with the arrival of his ‘Redial’ EP on Mark Broom’s Beard Man label sure to be dominating dance floors upon its release having already picked up support from the likes of Adam Beyer, Laurent Garnier, Marcel Dettmann, Slam, Benjamin Damage, Rolando and Luke Slater.
Tipped for a big 12 months by pretty much anyway with a set of ears and penchant for Techno, remember where you heard about Discrete Circuit first…
Sum up this podcast in 10 words…
The mix is full of all sorts of Techno cuts.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
H4L – ‘Sahara Pump Theory’
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
I just recorded it like I play DJ sets: spontaneous and intuitive.
What’s the best gig you’ve played recently?
January 2nd in Berlin, 4 hours back to back with Mark Broom.
What have you got coming up?
The Beard Man release, “Redial EP” which I am very proud of, is coming on January 22nd. Then there is something on Wolfskuill, but I can’t say much about it yet. And finally I am very happy that the second release on my own imprint AWAY music is on its way, which is inspired by the parties I organize in Berlin. The release comes with remixes by Joe Claussell and Mr. Ties. Very exciting and busy times ahead.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Lean back and enjoy the mix.
