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!

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!

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.

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.

Old name, fresh mix. Boerny (formerly DJ Fiftybag) played at the virtual Freude am Tanzen summer festival last year and ushers in the summer for this year with the 67th Fatpod episode. Born in Stuttgart, he has been around for some time in the DJ clique of Central Germany and also hosts parties himself. With the experience of several legendary nights, he chooses his records meticulously. Many thanks for the nice mix!

These two youngsters coming straight from the mothership Kassablanca. Usually they act in the background of a show, now it's time for their own FATPOD. Spinning records together for a few years now, the two are standing for musical variety and genreless mixing. Both are deeply rooted in the Hip Hop scene as you can hear in the mix. Expect a wild ride from halftime to doubletime and back. Rap, Breaks, Electro and more.

Previoulsly we introduced Gabriel as part of the DJ duo Götze and Wohlfahrt on episode no. 45. Now Gabriel strikes back solo. Enjoy!
