Did you know that it rains less than 5 days a year in Dubai. We didn’t. To be honest we couldn’t care less about it, until German musician Peter Fox recently released his beautiful, new Love-song "Kein Regen In Dubai", which captures the much-loved, warm "happy-sad" feeling of Too Slow To Disco perfectly. It is sung in German and how smooth and soulful it is… Who would have thought we Germans can do this? Mister Fox is part of the collective SEEED. What else? A lot of TSTD's favourite modern...

Yes, we finally made it to the "natural Too Slow To Disco habitat": spring-summer-any-day-with-sunshine… As some of you might already be attending a beach somewhere, for this month's show we collected the best new slow-sunset-disco vibes from France, Canada, USA, UK, Australia and Scotland to get you into the perfect sunset mood, wherever you are.

With our new show we want to take you on a warm ride to the summer coasts of southern France! These are all new tracks by modern soft disco French artists, some of them quite successful (in France), but some even unknown for most Frenchies. What unites them is a modern approach to the sunny sound of the balearic French 80s, when tracks by Chagrin D’Amour, Caroline Loeb a.m.m. became big hits all over Europe. The sound back then and today breathes a longing for romantic beach sunsets, falling...

Tough times. No new show without the loss of another of my musical heroes! This time we say R.I.P. to the one and only Bobby Caldwell. Not the most famous by name but - oh boy - he wrote one of my / everybody’s most important West Coast Yacht / AOR / Blue Eyed Soul anthems ever: "What You Won’t Do For Love". A song so smooth, soulful and mellow, it is nearly impossible not to dance (slowly), fall in love, make love and feel the sunshine of a Californian coastline to it! It actually is one of...

So much work went into this mix, I almost missed the deadline… but, hey, it is to to say goodby to the real G.O.A.T., the one and only Burt Bacharach, our god of pop music! Here is my tribute to maybe the most important musician in my life. I tried to not only include my favourite Bacharach tracks (too many anyway..) but amazing, unusual covers of his music, most of them with a lot of Soul (and a Morrissey cover…). Also in here, lots of musicians (old and newer) talk about him, you will find...

It’s a tradition to look back on the last 12 months in our last show every year. What we have for you here are the best tracks from our 14 favourite albums of 2022. These albums did not change the world but have been played on our stereos the most in 2022 and helped us glide through the year. We can promise you a better life when you listen to these (and a better life for these artists, if you purchase them ;-). Enjoy the last days of 2022, try to get some peace and don’t fight with your...

Finally, the summer break is finished and we can get back to our monthly TSTD FM radio show, full of smooth, soulful music, you can almost dance to.

Some old favourites like Poolside, Kraak & Smaak, Young Gun Silver Fox, alongside a chance to discover some exotic vibes from all over the world. Of course there is a TSTD premiere in there,...

Hi lazy summer friends, aren’t we all "Bordalonely“ by now!?. I recently watched the breathtakingly good documentary "Ennio“ on Maestro Morricone, TSTD’s favorite musician on earth/universe. So to start this month's show, you get a few new tracks that honor the orchestral sound of Ennio, but take it to 2022. Especially "Air“ from Sault’s new album, which is mind-blowing. The rest is the typical mix of Slow Jams, Sunset Disco, Yacht R’n’B, Edits and more tunes to accompany the sunshine and...

Our new show comes with the first rays of sunlight in Berlin, and, oh boy, how different that feels already! Take a seat and drift with us through new and old reworked smooth, mellow (soon to be) classics. It continues to be a really good year music-wise for our mellow sound, we already have pretty amazing new tracks by some of our big TSTD favourites like Breakbot, Winston Surfshirt, Toro Y Moi, Prep and Poolside. Lots of cover versions by modern acts, some rather surprisingly different from...

So Finally! It’s 2022 and it will be really hard for this to be a worse year than the last one (we do not mention that number anymore). The new mix for January contains great brand new tracks, that blew our minds with a smoothness, that transports you to a beach somewhere on the West Coast (or wherever you want to be). A simple message for 2022: try to be as exciting and shiny as the music in our mix which was released in January! Looking forward to many parties for more than One!Also...

The festive season is here. The closest connection of joy and pain all year, especially after such a(nother) dreadful year ! I dug really deep to find some slightly different and not so obvious festive tracks with a lot of soul for you, tracks that are not in every xmas playlist. Hope you enjoy our favourite TSTD alternative xmas classics (in the making). Have a smooth end of the year, try to relax a bit, we will be back in January with more smooth music, you can almost dance to. We added a...

Here we are, in the middle of the grey season, especially here in Berlin, so I will try to light up everybody’s lives with another set of mellow, autumn music, that can warm up your heart and soul.

As usual, we added a little glimpse of what’s to come on Too Slow To Disco, this time premiering three exclusive tracks form the upcoming YACHT DISCO EDITS vol 5 compilation, out next week (or so..)....

We are back. Sorry I had to skip the last show but trust me there was a good reason for it… It's autumn, to me the time of retreating to your home, listening to more melancholic music and feeling the warmth of it in your heart and soul. The new show concentrates on the creme of new, modern romantic, dreamy nu-disco, nu r&b and alt-pop acts, as usual from across the globe, with a heavy dose of soul, your perfect soundtrack for an "Indian summer". Enjoy the ride and thank the god of...

You can also get a glimpse into the future of TSTD via two premieres, a new TSTD NEO single by NICOLAAS, remixed by Turbotito, and a...

This month's show goes a slightly different path but still remains very smooth and slow! Over the last few months I have discovered lots and lots of great modern Nu-Soul artists, mostly from The USA (of course), but also from other countries around the globe.

Music from USA, Australia, USA, Germany, Hawaii, Finland, UK, Canada. Enjoy The Ride! 1. DIRTY ART CLUB...
