Discover: The tinyPod
Make the Click Wheel Great Again! Ever since Apple evolved from a computer manufacturer to an entertainment device company, more or less useful gadgets (and a gazillion copycats) for Apple’s products have come to life.

Hear: MOSHImix77 — Jacques Fou
I have a long playlist on SoundCloud where I save mixes I want to hear. This mix was in that list and instantly got me. I love dub techno when it’s deep and groovy, especially when it’s more dub than techno. Jacques Fou (great name, btw) has found the perfect balance between dub and techno,…

See: An otter fighting a raccoon
I did neither know that otters and raccoons could get in each other’s way nor that otters can be angry fighters. Now I know. And even the sound of the fight is creepy as eff.

Hear: Beatsteaks – Please
Here it is, the ninth studio album of the Berlin-based alternative band. The band is celebrating this release with two sold-out shows in the Wuhlheide in Berlin, on June 28 and 29. And while I am writing this, I am listening to the live broadcast of the first show, where I actually planned to be.…

There are countless ways through it. Sometimes you come back to where you just started, sometimes you get lost, sometimes you meet people,…

Hear: Hollow Coves – Nothing to lose
I had never heard of the band until yesterday. It was a sunny Sunday, and I was sitting in the Beach Club of Lake Storkow in Brandenburg. My little daughter was next to me, eating an ice cream sandwich, and I had a cup of coffee in my hands while watching the sea. The place…

Hear: The Micronaut — Leipzig District Mixes
Leipzig-based artist and multi-instrumentalist The Micronaut (Stefan Streck) has my fullest admiration. I got to know him personally at a work-related event where he was hired as a sound engineer. I talked to him most of the evening because, long before meeting him in person, I was a fan of his music.

Discover: Arc Browser (MacOS/iOS)
Over the last 25 years, I’ve used many browsers across different operating systems. However, given that the online world is now largely cloud-based, I prefer a browser that works seamlessly across all my devices rather than dedicated software on each one. Since Apple allows users to set their default browser on iOS, I’ve realized that…
