I compiled this mix throughout these days of misanthropical temperatures we had earlier this year. Hence, I couldn't help but consult my shelves for records that have been of reliable assistance when it comes to enduring such critical atmospheric conditions over the years. Mostly 60s/70s US/UK Songwriter/SoftRock, from the likes of Bob Lind, Tom Rush, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention and others, flanked by short digressions to India and rather recent releases. Consider this sort of an analogue radiator and an open love letter to vinyl culture. When I am not putting together schmaltzy podcasts for the lovely folks at Pauls Musique, you can catch me play at or co host Deephouse/Disco nights at clubs like Rocker 33 et al. Peace & Love, S

Veni, vidi, vici...spontaneously mixed and recorded by Vincent at the Pauls record store...thx bro, tobi.

Digger and me do have a very special relationship.

We know each other about seven or eight years, met exactly one time

and have a call every week.

That's because I'm the only customer he has to attend to at

WordandSound Distribution who orders records directly on the phone.

Shop keepers who just order online should know that they are missing

something special: great performances, weekly celebrations, latest discussions about the entire life and much more.

I love it and would never like to change it!

Thx for joining us here, hugs & kisses, Tobi

Finally, they made me do it. The folks at PAULS MUSIQUE can develop a very distinct sense of persistence in some cases, at least sometimes, if they want so. It must be pointed out, that they have some good reasons on their side, being – besides musical expertise - any sort of wisdom and knowledge, friendship, and yes – even love. For the music and all the freaks, who care like we do. And so, here it is: First mix released since 15 years. So I grabbed a selection of the records, that keep spinning on my system recently, added some random findings of my vault to it and figured out, that it starts with Neil Young and continues with Alan Parson’s Project. From there on it would have to walk on it’s own and tell the story by itself, derived and inspired by the moment of decision (which is pure delusion, following Kierkegaard). And somehow, against all odds, it actually did. The whole thing is more about to find out, how things match, than how they mix. If the tracks shall talk to each other, they must have something to say, even if there is a dissent. Think of a sketch for a mix-tape in the style of a postcard from far away with an address unknown – and you get an idea of what I was looking for: TWTMC - To Whom This May Concern.

This is a special journey between different musical landscapes

– just compiled for you.

From old to new,

from Goa to Ibiza,

from Senftenberg to Stuttgart,

from east to west,

from Brandenburg to outer space.

I hope you enjoy your flight.

"Don't talk just play!" – this selection shows the latest tracks I chose for my dj set. Deep, fat, bass driven house music I would recommend to listen to and enjoy at the club!

The earth may be the blue planet, but when you find yourself in U1 to

Vaihingen on a winter night after a 14 hour flight through space you

may also get the feeling that that name is bullshit.

One of the first places I go to when I visit earth is Pauls Musique.

Cold beer, warm atmosphere and good music help me to get over the

stresses and strains of space travelling. Now here's my humble contribution, hope

you enjoy!

As a DJ you hopefully fuse the lot. Don't take things too easily and take a risk every now and then. A mix should always be about bringing music together as do the many shelves of a record store. This mix is a tribute to the wonderful PAULS MUSIQUE store in Stuttgart and its owner Tobi Ettle. Music is culture. Music dealers participate in cultural work indeed, if they carefully select and try to be special, as it is the case with PAULS. I´m glad to form part of the crew.

Music is about connection, too. I was in search of some artists that create these connections. Coming from different genres such as Jazz, Techno, House, and Rock they ignore boundaries and conventions. Bringing these tracks, compositions and songs by Frank Tusa, Jeff Mills, Juju&Jordash, Reboot Joy Confession (with their fantastic debut on PHILPOT) and many others together hopefully shows the similarities between them and makes them shine. That would be nice. My great respect for their music.

Vincent plays in your club, your hotel room, your bedroom, your flat, outside in the nature and down in the basement.
