Fixx hit the proverbial nail on the head when they said that one thing leads to another. In our case one thing was a mix made by Polypores and another thing was discovering music by Hainbach who was featured on the said mix.

Hainbach (aka Stefan Paul Goetsch) is a German artist who (much like Polypores) is eerily prolific. Over the last few years he put out material on Spring Break Tapes, Opal Tapes and Limited Interest (among many other labels) – with the latest being 2018 Ambient Piano Works.

Since Stefan follows IHN on Twitter we just couldn’t resist asking him if he would compile a mix for us. And here are the results – more than 20 choice cuts from Art of Noise, Iannis Xenakis, Can, Harmonia, Pan Sonic and many more. Dive in!

On a Different Note:

• Listen: Guest Mix #2 by Polypores
• Compilations from December 2020: Pt. 1
• Review – Ten – Lowlands EP
• My Bloody Valentine – MBV
• Other Specials – Sonic Youth + Mike Patton
