The Accidental Alchemist
In 2004 art publisher and creative all-rounder Christoph Keller was on the hunt for a tranquil country house in the German Alps, far from the bustle of Berlin. By some twist of fate he chanced upon a real estate listing for an abandoned schnapps distillery. Needless to say, he snapped it up and set to the task of bringing it back to life.

Le Chalet Volume 1 – mountain beats by Belgian DJ Maxim Lany
During the summer of 2012 celebrated Belgian DJ Maxim Lany hit the decks at an intimate barbeque in Belgium.

The evening’s unforgettable vibe resonated with the owners – the energy, the dancing, the spirit – and led to the creation of the exclusive Le Chalet Volume 1 compilation.
Inspired by the simplicity and natural beauty of the hotel and its surrounds, the album features a memorable mix of tracks teetering between lounge and dance by Maxim, his friends, and a standout selection of artists from his label Lany Recordings.
