It basically is a societal quality, how could you as an artist not be melancholic these days.ĭD: Why did you decide not to do DJ sets and focus only on live ones?Įrdbeerschnitzel: I like the concert idea of it, one hour of time to present as many facets of your music as possible.

Known not to DJ, the producer also known as Tim Keiling sticks to what he does best, making and playing out his beautifully lush melancholic house jams.
