On time with the Summer start I’ve dropped mix and DJ set number 11. This time with slow but hot and thrilling house and disco grooves: This time disco strikes back. Enjoy and have a great Summer!
Back with mix no. 10, and this is going to be special. Down tempo house – or whatever name is currently used – is kinda in at the moment. However, only some tracks are appropriate presenting them in a mix I think. This one tries to tie together down tempo arrangements with danceable underground house music, spanning the bridge between sweet vocals and hypnotic drum patterns.
I’m proud that yesterday’s first live video stream was successful and went really well. Thanks to all listeners! I hope that you enjoyed the music and the show in general. I’m curious about your feedback, so drop me a comment.
I’ve started at bit earlier playing warm-up tracks. Playing one or two hours DJ set is quite short and therefore isn’t that easy. I actually had the plan of a small track list I prepared, but honestly – like live itself – it’s easier to play spontaneously and so I did for majority of the show. It’s just more fun :) I’m not pretty sure, about the actual sound and video quality, but I think it was OK. However, feedback here is also welcome.
If you want to re-listen to the mix and the video, you can do so below. I’ve recorded the show. The track list can be found below:

I’m glad to announce that we are now able to present you with one hour of good electronic music in a live video stream. The show probably will last for one hour and we will start this in the near future. Find more information about the live stream here.

Let me know if you are interested in the track list. And don’t forget to shake your tambourine! :)
Good house music is timeless, so would like to take the chance to post a mix set, which I did some time ago. The set primarily focuses on deep house with some tracks having nice arranged vocals. A special glance is given to Charles Webster who’s remixes I really like. This guy has an incredibly long list of high quality contributions, which it is worth to mention.
Get the mix set, relax with some friends and enjoy the music!
If you are interested in the track list, please send me an email or post a comment.
The May is going to be hot for the Erfurt located club Centrum. The former warehouse and today’s club in the center of the East German city is hosting a very special night of house music. No one less then Steve Bug is going to play on the 16th of May, celebrating once more the 10th anniversary of his own label Poker Flat. He is spinning the wheel on the main floor, along with DJ and producer Donnacha Costello, who contributed great tracks to Steve’s label and is very well known for the deep and formidable tracks on his own label Minimise as well as Sven U.K., whos great track “O Moresi” was part of Steve’s third Bugnology drop in late 2008.
Not that this is enough to celebrate. The Centrum recently also celebrated its 10th anniversary and will do so on this date for sure. I’m looking forward for this special event in the mid of May.
Here is the brand new mix set I did a few days ago. It mostly features tracks from records just released as well as some older tracks from 2008. As last track I added a special record that’s you can see as a kind of tribute to French producer and DJ Laurent Garnier. It’s his deep house classic “The man with the red face” from 2000. I’ve just bought it used some weeks ago, but I was looking for it for quite a while now. The track is a 9 minute deep house bomb with a gorgeous, significant saxophone line and an arrangement of patterns and jazz elements which grow with so much energy and feeling.
Well, I haven’t posted anything since a while. Sorry for that! No, I wasn’t lost in Switzerland. The main reason actually was my move to another city. I still don’t have all of my music equipment moved over. The majority of my 12″ collection is already packed, but I haven’t found time to move it over.
Anyway, in the meantime I had some time to think about the future concept of Magic Through Music. The blog concept will remain. However, I decided to take thinks to the next level and want to rise Magic Through Music to a collective of artists, basically musicians. This means, that in the future, you will also find music, DJ sets and event dates of other musicians here. This also means, that I will build out the website with an artist section.
