Freude am Tanzen Music Podcast

Jena based DJ and underground events organizer Public D returns to the Freude am Tanzen Podcast series. This time solo with his unique sound between House and dubstep oriented broken beats. A Mix with many facets but with still one flow!

Mint4000 enriches the Freude am Tanzen Podcast series with a great vinyl set of deep minimalistic grooves and floating sound sequences. A perfect mix to enjoy the upcoming summer days! The DJ and producer from Leipzig has released on labels like Appian Sounds and Drop That Records in the past and can be found in Jena from time to time.

For almost ten years now, the producer from Berlin has been releasing deeply driving, sensitive dance music that strongly tempts you to fall in love on the dance floor. In 2020, Philipp founded his own label, called Stolar, which regularly releases digital and vinyl releases by himself and other artists, with many reshapes and interpretations by other producers. Highly recommended!

Dan shows us a collection of warm groovers with a transition from deep house to deep techno, holding a moody (ish) atmosphere, staying dubby and minimal throughout. The london-based dj also organises the above below festival, which will take place at the Chiltern Hills near London in early June.

Soela, who lives in Berlin, has created her very own sound between sensual house music and minimalist dub techno and has released on labels such as Dial, Sushitec, Kompakt and others. This year, she also released a track called "The thing for him" on the Freude am Tanzen compilation. You can also find a detailed interview with her in the sixth issue of Fatplastics magazine. Thank you for that great mix Elina!

In 2016, Caldera started the project Riviera Club and since 2014 has been releasing music on various labels such as Noorden, WNCL, Sonic Moire, Bokhari Records to name a few. Caldera is not the only synonym of a producer originally from the Ruhrpott, who is at home in the UK. his mix for Freude am Tanzen is as varied as his work as music producer and we are very happy that he is represented on the new vinyl compilation project as well as in our podcast series.

At home in Cologne for some time now, but originally from the Jena area, DJ Klaus Storch sends warm, funky, broken house music into the dreary, darkening and cold everyday life. Thank you Klaus!

The next installment of the FATPOD comes with a fresh shipment from the harbour. Hamburgs effgee has provided us with the perfect selection for reminiscing about our favourite memories of this summer. effgee has also been very active in the studio recently, so make sure you check out his releases on his own imprint felice records. Big Tipp!

Panta Rex leaves nothing to be desired with its mix for Freude am Tanzen. Quite the opposite! You begin to long for more. A refreshing mix, which is so varied and well thought out that you would like to have it as an endless groove on vinyl. An inspiring insight into the endless expanses of cross-genre vibrations. Dubby, housy, jazzy, dreamy, calm, danceable, experimental and yet minimalistic. The DJ and producer from Cologne has already released music on tape and vinyl on the label Noorden and now his new EP "Critter" is released on Kontrapunkt.

This mix is the end of PlemmPlemm's live recorded DJ set at the Entropic Soundscape festival near Tirane. He played from 2am to 5am, after Linear Demand and before Jean Etat, who recorded FATPOD69. PlemmPlemm is a DJ and producer from Hamburg. His interest in groovy and experimental visions of techno music can be heard very well from the mix, as well as the rising sun in Albania and the soft ending as a perfect transition to Jean.

Three guys are hanging out at the Abantu. Covers and sleeves are lost but no one has seen anything. However, there is still an hour of recording left of the evening. It starts Housy, escalates a bit and ends groovy again. And now Geheme!

The DJ and music producer duo from Berlin, which is also partly rooted in Jena and therefore not unknown in Thuringia, moves in the areas of minimal and house music. The mix heralds the summer with its warmth and "grooviness"!

Kaep, the passionate vinyl DJ from Leipzig, who not only buys records but has also recently started manufacturing records at R.A.N.D, has fired up his turntables for us and produced a fat DJ set. He has long been an integral part of the breakbeat-loving part of the electronic scene. As one of the two heads behind Row Records, he regularly provides great new releases, which of course should not be missing in such a mix ;) Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the year 2022!... and it's off to a brilliant start: groovy, energetic and full of variety. Producer and DJ James Bangura from Washington, D.C., has taken to the decks for Freude am Tanzen and conjured. It is an honour for us to present this mix to you. We are really looking forward to what the new year will bring and wish you a lot of fun dancing ;)

The Gr33nhornZ, aka the three guys who found each other at the control decks of the mothership Kassablanca. They bring you the last mix of the year, with a little insight in different genres aka what happened to the music? Rap and Breakbeats, to Electro and Jungle influenced music. Be ready for some bumpy transitions and listen up. Peace.

Freund der Familie are also friends of Freude am Tanzen. The two producers from Leipzig have released a lot of music together with other great artists on their own imprint. A FDF record at our Fatplastics Recordstore is always something special for us, abecause the two producers have already been released some tracks on our vinyl only imprint Fatplastics. For this reason, we are especially happy that the 72nd edition of the Freude am Tanzen podcast comes from Freund der Familie.

It's been a long time since the world got to hear a set from Boris, but now the wait is over! FATPOD 71 has become a very diverse mix of different genres, which always follows a red path and gives a little insight into the near future of the Freude am Tanzen catalogue.

Whether at the modular system or behind the turntables, Felix Krell has a great passion for dubby, groovy, deep sounds. Felix's FATPOD takes you on a mystical journey where you can't stop your body from moving to the music. Thank you Felix!

The young Frenchman, who discovered his love for vinyl in Lyon, gives us a varied house mix. As hot as the days the summer still has in store for us.

The young producer from Leipzig, who released his first major project this year, takes us on a musical journey full of intensity and imagination. Let yourself be carried away by the selected sounds Funes has mixed together.
