Kuba'97 & Rino at EYES. EYES. baby

Vlada (@playvlada) has been playing all over the globe since just 18 years of age. Russia-born but Berlin-based for many years now, her sound is defined by a long, winding mixing style and is built on hypnotic basslines that slowly but surely zone you out. 

That very much comes out in this week's mix which initially locks you into a signature meditative pace but then builds with smart gear shifts and technical mixes. There are acid flashes to liven things up, bright synths spiraling around electrifying techno, broken beats to keep things moving then more stark industrial and metallic textures that place you at the heart of a strobe-lit and floor. It is another masterful mix full of must-find tunes from this ever more essential selector.

Bitzer Maloney says hello for the latest addition of the pod series 👋

We first got put onto Bitzer’s online DJ sets a year or so ago. After tuning into a few of his shows we soon connected the dots and made the realisation that he is also the co-founder of Bakk Heia, a label based out of Manchester that we’ve been digging since it’s first releases back in 2019.

Bakk Heia started out as a party and is celebrating its 8th birthday in just a few days time. Having long booked a combination of upcoming talent and veteran diggers they’ve established themselves as a staple night in Manchester. This mix, gives a look into the Bakk Heia chiefs record bag, effortlessly moving between more hazey downtempo tunes and peak groovey basslines, all underlined with that signature acid-tinge - it'll serve you well 🫡

A real pleasure to host one of my favourite djs in the Animix series, the ever-charming and immensely talented @playvlada, with her distinctly recognisable signature sound.

With a style deep, but somehow oozing with equal parts crunch and groove, Vlada is a master of blending her wide and eclectic old-school record collection into undulating journeys of bassy, hypnotic grooves, telling of her longstanding passion to the craft. 

The Russian born, but Berlin based mainstay balances touring with running mix series/party collective speLL in Berlin & beyond, with @vaahzer. One of my favourite parties in town :) 

Thanks again for the mix Vlada <33
