IDEM

Merry Christmas, my friends.

Four(!) new DJ mixes now up "hi, there will be some kind of (deejayed) radio- program here in december. i hope you all find some joy and comfort in it. and if you like it please show some love for those wonderfully talented musicians in there. take care, much love from planet uterus xxx" Enjoy.

I thought Anstam was Pom Pom? All kidding aside, any more evidence besides both being anonymous projects? Stylistically, they're quite different; not that that proves anything, Traumprinz is quite versatile himself. But Pom Pom has Berlin written all over it, I always assumed it's someone from the Hardwax sphere, maybe a collective, while TP seems entirely independent, hovering above everything and everyone else. If anything, he's more Weimar than Berlin, if that makes sense (probably not). And with all due respect, Pom Pom is not quite on his level ... Apologies if you're either one of them.

Just saw that now. He is talking about (Giegling co-founder) Konstantin, who was "cancelled" after an interview with Groove Magazine's Lauren Aha in which he apparently said that female DJ's have been sort of overpromoted in recent years and are often worse at DJ'ing than men. In the wake of the interview, he was unbooked from Amsterdam Dance Event, for example. He later apologized but has been relatively quiet since then (that was in 2017). Some believe that Konstantin himself is Traumprinz, but I don't think so.

Why on earth has no one posted this yet? Best thing ever Who is this guy, and how is he able to up his game every single time? Unbelievable. I was in tears by track two. 3 hours of this is almost too much too take. Btw, 1.19.25 seems to be a tribute to Legend B - "Lost in Love", 00.59.45 has echoes of another trance classic that I can't quite put my finger on, even though it feels like I know it by heart. Something from Eye Q, surely, but I'm blanking atm*. Anyone recognize anything else? Either way, incredible stuff, I hope it gets a vinyl release somewhere down the road. Enjoy, WATMMers! * I guess I was thinking of Braincell - "Nimrod", Sonic Infusion - "Magnifica" or Renegade Legion - "The Weeping Waste" but the search continues ...

Who woulda thunk -- ABBA are the new Kraftwerk (well, kinda). Pretty IDM, actually.

You're a man of high standards

So did you win?

I'm a made man. I'm also apparently sending a nine-year-old to the beach with a 200,- beach towel. Gotta stop doing that lest she get mugged.

I tried "disgusting" -- "Password incorrect, please try again". Trying to complete my "Donkey Rhubarb" teddy bear collection. Edit: "AFX50", that wasn't so hard after all. But 242 quid is a bit steep.
