welcome to our mixtapes
When you see this page, you found our mixtape. Congratulation. Enjoy to this special moment.
In the 80s and early 90s, nothing said “I care for you” more than making a mixtape. Putting together a playlist with your most favorite songs took a long time. Sitting in front of the radio, waiting for the song to start, hoping for the host not to talk too long or too soon.
It represented personal value, took time and showed effort. The feeling of putting the cassette into the player for the first time, pressing play and waiting for the first song.
Excitement. Anticipation.
In today’s busy and hectic world, we sometimes miss that kind of effort, thoughtfulness and anticipation. With this special present you are holding in your hands, we want to bring back these memories. Make you think about music again.
Taste. Fandom. Memories.
Music means something to everyone. We can discuss personal favorites, likes and dislikes for a long time and everyone is right. At least this is what we felt when putting together this tape.
There is no right or wrong kind of taste in music. Only different ones.
Nice thought, isn’t it?

| employee | artist | song | release date | duration | my story |
| Siegfried Altmann | Robbie Williams | Let me entertain you | September 29, 1997 | 04:22 | We love the entertain you, enjoying all our great talents, in small and in big, in BIZ and private, in life and at work, with our great team members, loved families, best friends and highly valued customers worldwide. come on let’s do it, one, two, three, four … |
| Marina Amplatz | John Farnham | You’re the voice | September, 1986 | 05:00 | This song was on an 80’s mix tape my parents played on repeat during our annual 8 hour (!) car drive to our holiday destination. The melody and the lyrics merged into my DNA. |
| Marina Amplatz | Colosseum | Tomorrow’s Blues | 1970 | 06:37 | This song represents the time when I deeply dived into the world beyond mainstream pop music. It was a truly inspirational time where I discovered the power of music. |
| Aman Arora | Yves Larock | Rise Up | October 15, 2007 | 02:50 | I love how this song perfectly captures the exhilaration of reaching for the impossible & empowering feeling of conquering it! |
| Christian Arzt | Queen | Don’t Stop me now | January 26, 1978 | 03:29 | simply cool |
| Liliana Barbulov | Voltaj | 20 de ani | 2015 | 03:25 | The song represents all the care free moments I had in my 20’s, as the song says, when I was 20 without money and without worries |
| Kevin Boll | Pink Floyd | Time | March 10, 1973 | 07:05 | I like the song because the lyrics are an accurate representation of life describing youth as a time of boundless time and freedom to the rat race of adulthood. It makes me think about how time is precious and should be valued as such. |
| Vanja Boltek | Elton John | Tiny Dancer | April 28, 1971 | 06:17 | All the beautiful and not so nice memories that have shaped me 🙂 |
| Gernot Bonner | Gansch & Pixner | Lou | April 29, 2022 | 05:54 | The most difficult and the most beautiful time of my life: Long before our twins Valentin and Lorenz were born, 14 weeks prematurely, a joint concert evening was planned. “Gansch & Pixner“ at the Konzerthaus Vienna. This became a distant prospect when Valtentin died, 2 weeks after birth. Lorenz’s condition was medically hopeless. The decision to attend the concert alone was difficult – the song ”Lou“ got stuck in my head. Lorenz – still in a critical condition – was accompanied intensively by us. The playlist we had created with “Lou” constantly played in the background. After 107 days he was allowed to leave the hospital. The rest is another story. |
| Ernst Bonstingl | The Proclaimers | I´m on my way | September 13, 1988 | 03:45 | In the car on the way home from work |
| Murali Das | backstreet boys | I want it that way | April 12, 1999 | 03:33 | Growing up, I was a die hard fan of the backstreet boys. Of all the songs, this one was my favorite. Connects me with my childhood memories. |
| Stefan Dee | Electric Callboy, FiNCH | Spaceman | April 8, 2022 | 03:10 | I love the song because it’s by two of my favorite artists who combine opposing genres and make the song so unique. In addition, I have already experienced it live several times, which brings back good memories. |
| Angelika Deutsch | A-Ha | Take on me | September 19, 1985 | 03:45 | Because it creates a very positive mood for me and I think of the – for the 80s really cool – music videos. |
| Maula Erandi | Las Ardillitas De Lalo Guerrero | Los Dientes De Panfilo | 1978 | 03:32 | This song was the ultimate Christmas banger of my childhood! I still play the songs of Las Ardillas at Christmas to get into the holiday spirit. |
| Martin Fasching | Die Flippers | Wir sagen dankeschön | April 23, 1986 | 03:25 | Because everyone who hears it gets in a good mood or laughs. |

| Alain Giraud | Grace Jones | Libertango | 1981 | 04:24 | |
| Alain Giraud | Nina Simone | My Baby just cares for me | 1958 | 03:35 | For such great melodies and her independent character |
| Alain Giraud | Queen | Don’t stop me now | January 26, 1978 | 03:29 | If I could ever attend a concert of a past group, that would be Queen. I often go to Montreux Jazz Festival and get reminded with the status of Freddie Mercury facing the lake. |
| Alain Giraud | Twenty One Pilots | Stressed out | April 17, 2015 | 03:22 | My younger son, Alex, took drum lessons for some years and I attended to all the many lessons. He started to be good when he played on “Stressed out” ; That was a special moment for me to be with him listening to this. Since then I often listen and will see them in Concert soon. |

Celebrate every day while taking in all of its colors and follow your dreams. |
| Veronika Höfler | Journey | Don’t Stop Believin’ | October 6, 1981 | 04:09 | The perfect blend of rock and harmony. The song is a guarantee for a good mood and simply belongs to be sung along loudly. |
| Johanna Jäkel | Beach Boys | Surfin USA | March 4, 1963 | 02:29 | It puts you in a good mood. |
| Johann Jäkel | Demis Roussos | Goodbye, my love, goodbye | April 1, 1973 | 03:55 | This song is incredibly special to me.

| Gerhard Jakopic | Beatles | Here comes the sun | September 26, 1969 | 03:05 | Beatles forever. I’ve been listening to the Beatles for more than 40 years and I’m still thrilled … Here comes my sun/son Michael. |
| Richard Jonach | Bon Jovi | Bed of Roses | Jannuary 11, 1993 | 06:34 | This song was published when I was 17 years old, in 1992. As I was living apart from my teenage sweetheart at the time, the lyrics reflected my feelings exactly. |
| Costa José | Coldplay | A Head full of dreams | December 4, 2015 | 03:43 | This music represents my parenthood concert debut, as I went to Coldplay with my younger son this year.

We are doing minimum one concert per year now 🙂. |
| Costa José | Joe Jackson | Sunday Papers | September 8, 1979 | 04:19 | This was my first ever live rock concert attendance, back in 1979. From his debut album “Look Sharp”, a new wave rock star, still playing these days. |
| Costa José | Rui Veloso | O Chico Fininho | 1980 | 02:31 | This was the first release from Rui Veloso. Known as “the father of Portuguese Rock”, he enjoys wide spread success in my country.

| Costa José | Queen | Innuendo | February 5, 1991 | 06:33 | This was Queens last album, with Freddie Mercury, the biggest rock legend. This entire album is an ode to courage and work passion. If to choose only one rock band in my life, Queen would be the surely the one. They were really “The Champions”. |
| Costa José | Sting | The Last Ship | October 1, 2013 | 03:50 | Since the 80’s, The Police first and solo later, Sting is one of my life’s references. This 2013 album was a theater musical play, having a huge Broadway success, but few people know this album. 2014 was a tough year for me, and this album helped me enduring it. It still does, once in a while … |
| Costa José | The Last Dinner Party | The Feminine Urge | August 25, 2023 | 03:26 | This girl band, appeared in my life this spring, in a music festival at Porto, where I went with my son to see Lana del Rey.

| Pankaj Priyadarshi | Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong | Summertime | July 1, 1957 | 04:59 | It was this song that introduced me to the beauty of Jazz. It was on a tape that I borrowed from a friend, and I liked it immediately. It then led me to discover other Jazz artists and bands.

| Pankaj Priyadarshi | Kishore Kumar, from ‘Aradhana’ | Mere Sapno Ki Rani | July 10, 1969 | 05:00 | This high-energy romantic song from the very popular Indian movie Aradhana, is part of my growing up in India.
