ANTIDOTE

'something that counteracts an unpleasant feeling or situation'

Volpe is an Argentinian artist with more than 10 years of experience behind the booth.

Inspired by the sounds of the ‘90s, his versatile sets blend genres such as Dub, Detroit and Hypnotic Techno, which combined with his fast tempo and continuous groove, create a perfect atmosphere on the dance floor.

He has been at the forefront of the underground electronic scene in Buenos Aires, being a resident in several parties for many years, which have lead to him being showcased at the best Techno clubs of the country, sharing gigs with artists such as Tadeo, Jonas Kopp, Seph and Andres Zacco.

He’s managed to edit several of his productions on labels such as UИCAGE, Subsist, and Sungate, and due to his continuous efforts he has been supported by artists such as Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, Jeroen Search, Zenker Brothers, Tripeo, Subradeon, Pushmann, Kaiser, Vil, Yant, Alexander Kowalski, El Choop, OHM, Hertz Collision and many others. 

He is now focused on honing his production skills and preparing new releases, all whilst still doing podcasts for great channels like Artaphine, Frenzy, Ceremonie, Obscene, Duplicity and several more.

VOLPE | ANTIDOTE #4, RADION | 14.10.22

A set I performed at a friends birthday party (aka  'an old gits gathering') in a studio space somewhere in Brixton, London between 3 and 5:30 in the morning, unaware that it was being recorded. With such a special mix of old school friends and music-heads amongst the crowd there was an atmosphere of absolute musical freedom that I hadn't felt since back in the day at parties such as Heart and Soul. By this point in the night the system was well warmed up, sounding sweet and the reaction to the music in the room was almost palpable. These elements all combined in the moment and manifested themselves musically in what you can here on this mix. It certainly felt very special at the time and I was very pleased to find out the next day that it had been recorded.
DJ-Murfs 40th Birthday party was always going to be a special one.
It was an honour to be asked to play as I'm sure it was for all of the other DJs on the night.

ANTIDOTE PODCAST 011: STRAPPA

Alex Downey has been supporting the UK electronic underground movement as a DJ, record-shop manager and now radio presenter for nearly 20 years. Based in Brighton on the south coast of England, he is arguably the city's most prominent purveyor of all things Techno, where he is a regular fixture at the premier high profile events, alongside acts such as Underground Resistance and Derrick May.  
As the main driving force behind the counter at Brighton's highly respected and much-missed [covert] record store & web-site, he was instrumental in bringing quality Techno & House to the city - and beyond, developing along the way a boundless knowledge, vast record collection and infectious passion for the music that's unmatched by most. 
His musical taste & experience speaks for itself and his nocturnal activities behind the decks have earned him much respect and a great reputation amongst the global electronic community. He has been invited to perform at many key events such as ‘Free-rotation’ in Wales,'The Big Beat Boutique' & 'Stompa-phunk' in Brighton, 'Retro_vert' & 'Wiggle' in London, ‘Labyrinth’ festival & ‘Haus-Tek’ in Tokyo, and at many other far-flung destinations, hundreds of smaller parties and long-forgotten club nights that rocked hard, and kept the lifeblood of the scene pumping. He is currently resident DJ at 'Our Friends Electric' in Brighton as well as the 'Split' / 'B A L A N C E' parties in London where he has recently shared the stage with Red-shape, Dave Clarke, Robert Hood, Luke Slater and Carl Craig, to name a few. You can also hear him spin on the ‘Split Show’ - a globally syndicated online radio show with a large number of keen listeners worldwide that he co-presents alongside techno legend Ben Sims.
Alex’s energetic style and enthusiasm for all things deep & electronic are sure to bring some magic to the party and are matched only by his razor-sharp DJ skills. One of the UK’s treasures, solidly and confidently attending to business while other media-hyped storms have come and gone.
