L.A.-based master of ethereal sounds, Robot Koch, is gracing our pages with inspiring interview insights and a brand new DJ mix he put together for WITNESS THIS exclusively.

In the past months, I frequently arrived at the same point, thinking: How do other music producers deal with the situation of being stuck in their creative process, when things no longer seem to move forward?
I really wanted to reach the next level so I met up with DJ/Producer Tom Peters shortly after his gig in Berlin Kreuzberg at Sage Beach, we sat down for a coffee and had a chat.

I've first come in touch with the music of Mike Shannon at a heideglühen jam, one of the last resorts of the Berlin club scene with a true underground feeling. It's one of those places where you can see foreigners drop in during the morning hours shaking their heads in disbelief by the vibe they find there, and Mike's set that morning was certainly one for the books.

Our July edition for the 'Mix of the Month' podcast series comes from sunny Barcelona, Spain, and this time we move from the deep house vibe towards straightforward live-techno. birdsmakingmachine is an artist collective that likes to put emphasis on the creative output by keeping their members anonymous.

Bordeaux-based Mozaïk is the fusion project of electronic music DJ Matthieu Verrier with Thomas Lachaize, lead saxophonist of the Bordeaux National Opera.

I spoke with Nico Stojan at my small house in Venice, we sat in my living room and ate carrot pieces and hummus with Heidi Edwards, a photographer from Los Angeles. Read the interview, and tune into the exclusive mix that Nico has gifted the WITNESS THIS readers with!

When I first heard this set by Leo Maymind/aka Maymind/ex-Spanish Prisoners member, I thought I knew what to expect. I couldn't have been more wrong with my assumption as what I heard was a completely different genre from his earlier projects.

I owe Velten "Dirty" Doering credit for having provided the soundtrack to some of my wildest nights during the golden age of Berlin's infamous Katerholzig—the successor club to Bar25.
