A Dream In A Dream is the debut LP by DJ Piper, also known as Felix Wagner of techno superstar duo FJAAK.One might be surprised about this all hip-hop instrumental album looking at Felix all dance music focussedmusical resum. Nevertheless, he has been crafting rap beats ever since he started producing as a teen, but hadhis childhood friends freestyle over the tracks solely. It took until 2020 when he teamed up with Lukas andJonathan Nixdorff of Kommerz Records to release his first solo track Iluminay, which was part of KommerzSeason 1: Anti-Virus compilation and shared by B-Real of Cypress Hill right away.Now, 2022, marks the right moment to share his debut album, a waltzing ode to hip-hops golden era. The Berlin-Spandau original merges the legacies of both Pete Rock and Dr. Dre, while funky breakbeats meet laid backSoCal Chronic vibes. 12 instrumental tracks and 2 skits strong, his album tells the story of a young man, wholives up to his wildest teenage dreams. Most of the track ideas came up while being on tour with FJAAK. Betweeninternational transit areas, making inspirational new friends and bizarre encounters all over the world, beat makingbecame DJ Pipers safe space to process all the positive madness around him. As a result, A Dream In ADream breathes that raw, untamable creative energy around Felix extraordinary day-to-day life, while beingheavily influenced by the sound of his childhood, 90s and 2000s rap.To visualize A Dream In A Dream DJ Piper and Kommerz Records joined forces with Raman Djafari, achildhood friend of the artist, who illustrated music videos for Dua Lipa and Elton John (no joke!) and worked forNew Release Information Adult Swim. Ramans supernaturalistic aesthetics bring life to DJ Pipers somewhat psychedelic, somewhatnostalgic fantasy, locating the album in an otherworldly version of Spandau, hometown to both of the artists.As one half of FJAAK Felix became an icon of Berlin techno conquering major festival stages and mainstreamaudiences while heavily representing underground D.I.Y. mentality up to this very day. As an initiator ofSpandau20 label and collective, Felix pushes his creative family and day 1s regardless of commercial potentials.The same ethos and love for culture fuels the DJ Piper project. No matter if its FJAAK or DJ Piper, techno or hiphopIntegrity is key!
