Spandau20

up next for our mixtape series: welcome @aquarian! 💫

The Canadian born and Berlin-based artist has been on our radar since his debut in 2012 and has been providing us with killer edits for our dj-sets ever since. 👊
Most recently, he released a two part EP series called “Mutations I & II” on @dkmntl Records fusing techno, drum and bass, electro and hardcore into a potent formula. His high energy and eclectic mixing style has found its way into Berghain, De School, Tresor, and will be able to catch at Dekmantel Festival this summer 🔥
Get ready for an hour full of breakbeats and unpredictable turnarounds from one of the most promising artists in the game! 🙌

It's @realrifts !!! Catch him playing his Berghain debut this Saturday and/or listen to this fresh mixtape he delivered just in time! 🏢🎉

Few people might be digging this deep for their sets - in fact: his whole flat is even (seriously) bending down from having too many vinyl records 🙃🥲

Make sure to come early & witness what's going on behind the decks as he's on opening duties from 00:00-04:00 AM 🎛️🐧🔥 🦔

Enjoy one hour of pure bliss from Rifts, perfect to get into the mood for this heavy weekend!💫

This one’s long overdue: We are more than happy to finally welcome our long-time friend and label member @djtobineumann to our mixtape series! ❤️

Tobi, who calls himself a "Tanzmusik DJ“, has been in the business for around 25 years as a musician, producer, sound engineer, synthesizer collector, modular freak, tutor and studio owner of the @apollostudioberlin 🎹🎛️

He’s also a very passionate DJ who regulariy travels around the globe and is known for a wide range of electronic music styles! 🔊🌍

For the Spandau 20 Mixtape Series he contributed a mix of „Old School" meets „New School", House meets Techno 🏠🖤

Have fun and dance! 🎉

Next up for our mixtape series are scottish legends @slam_djs! 💥🔨

The two fellas met in the late 1980s and started out as promoters & resident DJs in several clubs in Glasgow.

In the early 90s they co-founded the legendary @soma label, which now counts over 600 releases and is home to some of their biggest hits like „Lifetimes“, „Positive Education“ or „Eterna“ 🎇🤯

Over the years they have gained a massive international following both due to the massive success of their countless releases, as well as their uncompromisingly energetic dj sets 🎹🎛️

Enjoy an hour of heavy-hitting techno material from the masters themself! 🧨

Next up in our mixtape series is the incredible @helena-hauff 😍

We are extremely happy to have her on board for this one, since she is easily one of our very favourite DJs! 🙏

Helena started out as a resident DJ at Pudel Club in Hamburg, a legendary space where she perfected her mixing skills that now make her one of the best djs in the world 🧨

Over the last 10 years she has not only stuck to djing but also produced her own music, resulting in two albums that she released in 2015 & 2018 which were both widely celebrated, as well as several EPs.

For Spandau20 she has delivered one hour of pure vinyl-mastery, full of electro / breakbeat gold and we couldn’t be prouder to share it with you today 🖤

Could somebody please pinch us: @luke-slater is up next for our mixtape series! 😍

The british musician, dj, producer and label owner has been around since the 1980’s, operating under countless aliases such as Planetary Assault Systems, The 7th Plain or L.B. Dub Corp just to name a few 🤯

Luke's 1997 album „Freek Funk“, as well the releases on his own label @mote-evolver have played such an important role in all of our lives and his ability to still deliver at this level after being in the game for so long, is something that inspires us and makes us look up to him 🙏

To list everything he has achieved in the last 40 years would go beyond the scope here, so without further due:

Luke Slater for Spandau20 🖤

Up next for our mixtape series is @lockedgrooves! 🔒

Born in Belgium, but now based in Berlin, Locked Groove (don’t mistake him for our latest release please) has released on several labels in the last 10 years and even started his own one "Locked Groove Records" in 2013. He released his debut album „Sunset Service“ in 2019 and has also been involved in several sound design projects ever since. For our mixtape series however, he delivers an hour of classic Chicago anthems, as well as raw industrial jams aka the style he is best known for 🔥

Enjoy!

We are very happy to welcome our next guest to the Spandau20 mixtape series: @faerbermusic! 🧨
