Remember back in the days before digital music players and MP3s?
If you do, then you probably made compilations of all your favourite music, to share with your friends and loved ones, on good old fashioned blank cassette tapes.
If you miss making mix tapes this product will inspire you again!

We’re laying low for the rest of our trip here in northern Germany, just enjoying the warm weather, hanging out with family and doing lots of shopping. I can definitely say I won’t be needing to go clothes shopping for a awhile as we’ve been spoiling ourselves plenty.
Thanks to Lars’ profession, we’ve spent a lot of time in different nightclubs in the US and around the world during our travels. T-O 12 is a nightclub that was recently built in Stuttgart, Germany’s notorious “party mile, Theodor Heuss-Strasse. I’d love to visit this club on a future trip simply for the thought, detail and style that went into the sleek design.
Like the street, the club is also named after the late Theodor Heuss, a fun-loving, dashing man and the first person elected for a full term as the President of the Federal Republic of Germany. Clubbers call the joint either Theo (T O sounds just like Theo in German) or Theo Zwölf (=Theo 12 in German).
To create the three-story club, the owners hired two Stuttgart-based firms: Architecture and communications firm Ippolito Fleiz Group, and graphic designers i-d buero. The result is a sleekly mysterious, pitch-dark space with white furnishings and massive black-and-white murals. The all-black walls, ceilings and floors together with the huge mirrors and tiny light spots produce an effect that is vertigo–inducing and fun.
Lastly, for your listening pleasure, the latest mix for download by Lars Behrenroth from his show Deeper Shades of House. This mix is one of my personal favorites.

Live version video of this amazing song performed on MTV (Europe is my guess??) by Shaun Escoffery and band.
‘Days Like This’ is one of the greatest tunes you can hear on a deep house dance floor when that magical moment is in the air. Once the bassline and the jumping chords start you can hear a big scream and EVERYONE starts singing along.
Definitely a great song for the summer. Below the video you can find a link to a more elaborate post regarding this release with some links to the label and more videos by Shaun Escofferey.
