DJ fickleness (* 7. July 1987 , real name Jacob Aaron Dilssner ) is a German House - and Techno - DJ and music producer .

“It used to be my favorite word in the German language,” said Wankelmut about the choice of his stage name. In addition, the word aptly describes his productions as "fickle music, varied and multi-faceted".

Life

Wankelmut attended the Georg Herwegh High School in Berlin. In his youth he learned to play the piano. Around 2006 he began to compile playlists for private parties, before he bought a professional DJ system from Native Instruments in 2009, with which he played house and techno. In addition to Âme , Kyson and Massive Attack , Wankelmut mentions the film Berlin Calling with Paul Kalkbrenner as an influence . Wankelmut lives in Berlin-Friedrichshain , where he works as a DJ and music producer and studies philosophy . According to his own statement, the course is an “interest course” without any specific career plans. In his private life he likes to listen to rock music .

While on a trip to the USA , he heard the acoustic track Reckoning Song by Asaf Avidan & the Mojos , which inspired him to produce the track One Day . In addition to the “catchy character” of the original, he particularly liked the “complexity” that the title “settles with a passing love”, but “can be understood very positively at the same time”. He uploaded it to SoundCloud in winter 2011 . In January 2012, the title reached six-digit views on SoundCloud and YouTube . In the summer of 2012, YouTube had over 4 million views. Asaf Avidan found out on Facebook that Wankelmut had remixed his Reckoning Song . At first Avidan didn't like to hear his song, which he wrote out of a certain emotional state, in a new context that had nothing in common with his original feelings, Avidan said. In the meantime he has a learning process behind him that other artists can develop his art further and make it their art. Avidan has not only made friends with the song since mid-2012, but is also happy about the successful remix. This ultimately led to a boost in his own career. Asaf Avidan released the exploitation rights to his music track Reckoning Song for fickleness in 2012 . In the same year, Wankelmut was signed to the music label Four Music , which released One Day on June 29, 2012. The song was able to place itself in the German single charts and then rose week after week until it reached number 2 after eight weeks, in week 9 the song rose to number 1 in the German charts and displaced Lykke Li . One Day also placed itself in the Austrian and Swiss single charts, where it was also able to reach the top of the charts. In 2012, the title topped the national singles charts in Belgium , the Netherlands and Italy . In the music year 2012 , the title reached number 5 in the annual hit parade. Only Michel Teló could get along with Ai Se Eu Te Pego! Keeping first place in the German single charts at ten weeks longer than fickleness succeeded at seven weeks. In Greece and Slovakia , the top position in the charts followed in 2013. The title received a nomination at the 1 Live Krone in 2012 in the category Best Single . At the Echo Awards 2013 , Wankelmut was nominated for One Day / Reckoning Song in the Hit of the Year category (national or international) . Until April 2013, Wankelmut and Avidan never met in person.

On November 2, 2012, Wankelmut released his first DJ mix album Wankelmoods Vol. 1 , which contains 18 other music tracks in addition to One Day / Reckoning Song .

Wankelmut appeared at the Time Warp Festival on April 6, 2013. The following day he released the single Wasted So Much Time with singer John La Monica on the label Poesie Musik . On December 12, 2014, Wankelmut published another track: Oh Shit is part of the 20-track compilation A Collection of Unreleased Pearls by the label trndmsk .
