¿Quiubo? Radio w/ Alejandro Marenco [08/16/2022]

recorded at Podlasie Club on October 14 2022

Alejandro Marenco @ Podlasie Club [10.14.22]

https://soundcloud.com/alejandro_mrnco
Alejandro Marenco, the shortened moniker of Nicaraguan-born, Chicago-based musician Noel Alejandro Gutierrez Marenco, makes expansive electronic grooves designed for “throwing ass.” Marenco’s music is evocative of that night, the one that feels simultaneously driftless and gigantic, one that glimmers upon remembering hours spent in a sweat-drenched, dimly-lit club, or the last dance at a dive bar down the street, or a blaring stereo during a wide-eyed 3am cross-city drive to get home. Largely creating in Ableton (and occasionally bolstered by a drum machine and Moog synth), Marenco fluidly weaves a variety of sounds from endless inspirations - Jamaican collective Equiknoxx, the latin tribal techno of Nick León, and the influential dance label Livity Sound, to name a few. Elastic beats, industrial percussion, fluid synth, oscillating rhythms, and a flourish for ever-changing instrumentation, Marenco’s mixes are reverberating moments of kaleidoscopic euphoria.

For September, Alejandro Marenco blesses us with aquatic, textural, dub for Smooth Brain listening. This episode flows through a range of ambient, downtempo, and IDM sounds for a mind-relaxing experience. Alejandro Marenco is a Nicaraguan-born Chicago-based producer, dj, and sound engineer, working sound at the notorious Podlasie. 

His Smooth Brain mix resembles his transcendental  rhythmic sounds in his own production. Whenever listening to his music, I feel as if I’m exploring the depths of an underwater cave. Be sure to check out his music and keep your eyes out for an upcoming EP :)

Tune in every first Sunday of the Month on beloved.wtf at 11 AM CST for an hour long smooth brain session. For other Beloved Radio show archives, check out their Mixcloud page: www.mixcloud.com/belovedwtf/

Truancy Volume 347: Time Cow

Taken from SBKT069: Nahash - Fleurs Mortes
Vinyl + Digital: 15th May 2025

Nahash returns to SVBKVLT with Fleurs Mortes, a striking sophomore album that stands apart from fleeting trends and extravagant sound design. This record is an unfiltered reflection of Nahash's musical education —one shaped by the raw energy of ‘90s rave, hip-hop and dancehall afterparties, and the deep crates of his parents' extensive jazz and Afrobeat collection, taking influence from the anarchic spirit of Spiral Tribe to Dillinja’s legendary remixes of Björk, infused with heavy doses of Wu-Tang, DJ Premier, John Coltrane, and Archie Shepp.

Building on the themes of 2020's 'Flowers of the Revolution', this album envisions a future liberated from dystopia and oppression—a hopeful dream expressed through endless dub delays, ethereal reverbs, rave-infused drum hits, and, unexpectedly, live trumpet.

This record was years in the making, finally taking shape during a whirlwind European tour with SVBKVLT labelmates—late-night conversations, cold drinks, and ice cream fueling its final form.

The flowers may have withered, but a new season is on the horizon—one filled with love, renewal, and the scent of grilled lamb chops.

Preorder

Nahash - Dwindling

I’m sharing my set from @nowadaysnyc from February, closing out the Sunday evening of the Nonstop party after Ayesha's crazy set. This was one of my favourite moments DJing ever I think. Pure synergy in one of my favourite places to play in the world.

The first track is something new from me, keep your eyes peeled more info soon. 👀

Theres a load of genre hopping over the four hours but everything felt quite natural and seamless, taking things from peak time bass music down to a soft house music landing with a few twists and turns along the way.

Beautiful and affirming moment dancefloor moments are not to be taken for granted! Much love to everyone who danced.

Doctor Jeep - 05 June 2025

For our 40th (!) entry into the PPRZ Podcast series, we have none other than Mina Mills rolling up with a 2 hour vinyl mix chocked full of gritty and soulful midwestern techno of the highest order.

Mina Mills is a Chicago based DJ and producer from Des Moines, Iowa. She plays techno and house music.

Description of mix: This mix was recorded using two Audio-Technica AT-LP120 direct drive turntables, one deck of a Numark Mixdeck Express and a Xone 62 mixer. This is the DJ equipment that I have access to and I've grown to really love it. 

If you enjoyed this mix, please consider donating to Mina's organization of choice: https://givebutter.com/TransChicago

PPRZ Podcast 40 - Mina Mills

This month's show is inspired by summer and the incredible weekend I had recently attending the experimental music festival Dripping in Sparta, NJ. 

Flow State w/ TWan: 25th June '25

Since 2012, Caldera has been creating a unique and personal blend of Techno and Bass music with a love for detail and a dedicated sound design that immerses listeners into imaginary worlds.
His experiments with drums and rhythms result in grooves that represent a new and fresh way of looking at dance music while exploring a deeper side of it and leaving bpm restrictions behind.
