It’s been a few years now since the Affin label took another step forward. Since 2017, it has gradually evolved from a classic 12” deep techno imprint into a label focused primarily on albums, a shift that has become increasingly evident since 2022. It’s time to take a look back and bring some of these sometimes-hidden album gems back into the spotlight. This is being done, on the one hand, in the form of a DJ mix by Joachim Spieth, who has curated the sound selections. An accompanying compilation rounds out the picture. Enjoy!
A selection of works from Affin, released between 2022 and 2026. Over time, a distinct sense of space has emerged - shaped by slower movement, extended forms and a shared sensitivity for detail. Many of the artists gathered here have crossed paths repeatedly, forming quiet connections that continue to evolve across releases.
Rather than following a linear narrative, the mix unfolds as a continuous passage, where transitions remain subtle and boundaries dissolve. It captures a phase defined less by individual moments and more by their relationships - a field of sound that expands gradually and invites sustained listening.
Compiled and mixed by Joachim Spieth.
