Ingolf`s newest and most recent projects are "LIVING ROOM" / "WORLDTRAVELLER" / "PEARLDIVER"/ "AFTERNOON IN STEREO".
"Worldtraveller" is the Idea to combine music of different culturs & ethnic influences, a musical journey around the globe.
"LIVING ROOM" using electronic elements with live instrumentation, warm jazzy rhodes, wurlitzer and muted trumpets, beside amped guitares, dope synthsounds, vinalistic crackling noises and sophisticated beat construction. Influenced by old jazz record, dubplates, trip hop and downbeat from the good times back in the days.
"PEARLDIVER" is mostly Chill Out and Downbeat but also shows a little bit Deephouse and more electronic side of his production skills.
His DJ sets combine often many live elements, like drummachine and steems so he creates many live played mashups and edit`s of his own tracks.
