M82: Lauer

June 14: Ten Years Of Monologues w/ X-Press 2, Ghosten & Daisybelle @ 17 Little Portland Street, London - invite-only - DM me on Instagram for paid guestlist.

The Monologues Podcast invites producers to mix an hour of their own productions. Follow our Bandcamp for our label releases.

The crown prince of Germany's Italo/Electro scene takes the reins for our latest mix. Whether it's his solo endeavours or his excellent Tuff City Kids collabs with Gerd Janson and Black Spuma project alongside Fabrizio Mammarella, he's a producer who always delivers, taking the sounds of the '80s and bringing them bang up to date. 

*How would you describe your sound?*
Dance music between Italo, House, Electro, Synth, Rave, Acid and a little Techno .. mostly leaning towards 80ies sound.. maybe

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 
I guess listening to music since being a kid and one specific and very forming influence was DJ Ata in the early days of the  Robert Johnson Club .. I guess that place in general.. i spent so many nights there.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*
My first 12" release came out 25 years ago ..and when i stumbled across your idea (from a few years back) to record a 100% Lauer music mix i thought: now is the time !   I tried to cover most periods featuring  some personal faavourites of mine.. and some "hits" ..  Its a bit random .. but  i feel it is a good representation of what   i did in the last years... hehe
