DJ Balduin is a seasoned selector with more than two decades of experience in tracking down musical gems. As an avid believer that some songs shine only under the right circumstances he doesn't shy away from weaving repetitive loops with patterns of ambience just to let some hands-up moments unfold every now and then. Since he doesn't like to think in categories, his best guess to describe his vivid 4/4 sets would be “Hypnocelestial salsa-dub house”.
This approach is also reflected in his diverse musical productions. Through the reinterpretation of genre-specific elements, the discovery of unheard soundscapes and with a due portion of nostalgia, he forms little stories that inspire on dance floors and in living rooms alike. His album “Concrete Mimosa”, released on KANN, perfectly embodies this creative process. This record, as Kristoffer Cornils describes it, “seems to have everything and yet sounds like nothing before.”
Based in Leipzig, DJ Balduin is also the driving force behind record label GLYK, curating a diverse array of musical output. Under his experimental name M-pha, he released the intense double-sided mixtape “Tollwut Synapses.”
