18 years. Hirschmilch has now come of age, and as is the case with grown-up children: at some point, it's time to let them go.

Hirschmilch was more than just a radio station to me. It was a home for sound, a playground, a life's work.

For that, I thank the team, the listeners, and everything that has been created over these years from the bottom of my heart.

In recent months, I've focused my energy on something new: ParadiseHunter Radio. My own small, sophisticated radio station, launching with mostly new material, tracks that have never been heard in the Hirschmilch rotation before.

Some loyal companions are coming along for the ride:

The h-milch session becomes the Paradise Session, Soundpatisserie, Slagroom, and Ultrahocherhitzt also find new homes, and Dense will occasionally contribute a mix. Brand new is a dedicated Soundpatisserie Channel, and with Café Paradise, a new world of Balearic, lounge, and downbeat music is emerging.

A passion project is finally becoming a reality: the Drum & Bass Channel, a long-held dream. During the day and on weekdays, it will feature liquid funk, and on weekend evenings, more energetic D&B will soon be added.

There won't be any psytrance channels initially, but you can find some prog trance on the Hypnotic Channel.

As for chillout and psychedelic music: Hirschmilch is already perfectly positioned with Dense, and I can't and don't want to top that.

Hirschmilch will, of course, continue to play. And ParadiseHunter Radio is launching.

I'd love for you to check out the new radio station and feel free to give me your feedback.

See you soon, somewhere among the beats.

Yours, baq
