Opening phase 3 of the RCU, the Reptilian Mix 07 introduces rising star @tau-car, already quite famous in the Neuköllnywood underground art-house scene. She is now stepping under the World Wide Web projector lights for reptilian connoisseurs' uppermost enjoyment. 

Indeed, Car has experienced her share of life-changing party experiences, to a point she had to answer the call of Jane Gain™ and started to ride those transitions as if her life was depending on it. Relentlessly practicing, she started deep diving into minimal / tech-house, funky club-house, and electroclash to create her distinctive sound showcased in this mix. Her ability to select and play records is only equaled by her love towards Renéchou, her dogtilian son, adding a new member to the reptilian bestiary.

She is the closest crew member imaginable and we are more than proud to feature her first mix in the series.

Our third mix is coming from @marcolino-ultrasuoni, boss of infamous Ultrasuoni Records, and an Istitution in Rome.
You can feel his iconic deep signature that distinguishes him all along those 61 minutes of smooth dance-floor-oriented classy-house gems, perfect to start the summer time with style.

We are delighted to start our mix series and are super happy to do it with a close friend of A8: Konman. The set was recorded on the closing weekend of our last shop, Plastic Dreams, a two day stream where so many of you participated (find the full stream on our YT channel). We have been coming back to Konny’s downtempo trip regularly, as we love the flow and all the beautiful memories that it evokes. The entrance resident has supported us tremendously by selling parts of his collection & playing regular in-stores in our shop(s), thus we want to take the opportunity to say “thank you” and invite all of you to listen to his selection.

Up next in our mix series we want to highlight two artists very close to our hearts & shop: Adrian Camillo and Manuel Correa. 

In the three hour journey, the duo went brother2brother, smoothly setting the vibe for a great night at PRST Club. The live recording of their warm-up is the perfect mix for all pre-drinking related shenanigans. The Vienna/Berlin based brothers are part of the dedicated sprenger solutions crew, a group of nightlife enthusiast with the love for the little details and extra mile. We love what they do and are sure you will too, therefore, press play and make sure to support their next event on the 15th at PRST.

Up next in our mix series: an hour of downtempo and ambient treats by Nizar Sarakbi, recorded at our Lighthouse x PRST x A8 Stream back in Dec23. 

90 minutes before the stream, one of our bookings had to call in sick and we were rather panicly looking for a substitute... Boy are we happy to have so many insanely talented DJs around us (shouts to all of you!), one of them being Nizar. Leaving no doubt about the preparedness of his downbeat collection he answered:  "sure, I'm down, give me 60 minutes and I will be there!". The result is a stunning trip though the melancholic and soothing sides of the "Sonic Resistance" resident. Supporting our project by selling parts of his collection through us, playing multiple in-stores, but most importantly, being the joyful and awesome lad he is, it's time for us to give back. Thank you Nizar, glad to have you on board - enjoy the trip everyone.

Happy to continue our podcast series with a live recording of Feel X from our 24hrs rave back in Feb. The roughly 60 mins are an outtake of the 4 1/2 hour closing madness Feel X took us on, playfully guiding us through the depths of his collection. Felix's set and the shared memories hold a very special place in our hearts, often we think back and reflect on the beautiful time spent together, thus we couldn't be happier to share a snippet of the afternoon with all of you.

Mark your calendars: on April 27th we will host our first official A8-Dayrave with 2 very special international guests. 8am to 8pm, secret location, 150people, invite only - slide into our DMs if you want to be a part of it.

Andrea Ida & Mike Burns - Apartment Acht In-Store Session - 13.4.2024

Continuing our A8 series with a close friend and humble soul - PJPJPJ. This man has an addiction to pigeons since 13 years, which ironically also is the time PJ has been collecting records. The styles in his collection range through a multitude of genres, always aiming for that PJ-Trademark seal of approval - which can best be experienced in this mix. 

PJ is a co-officer of the lovely cyclic existence crew, who regularly host events in vienna and the bin aural show on callshop radio. 

Thanks for contributing dear friend! Keep an eye on PJ & enjoy this episode!

Up next in the A8 series is a very special memory from one of the last days of our shop on Gumpi 22: A live recording of the Odo Kolant in-store concert. 

Ever since we heard the newly formed "live-electronics-trio" on the ambient stage of this years Lighthouse Festival in Croatia, we were dreaming of having them over, showcasing their creativity. This recording shows you why. Dive into the minds and soundscapes of three incredibly talented & humble artists, a bunch to keep an eye on. You guys rock, keep it up!

Poddy #7 is coming from one of Vienna's hidden gems: jpeg. Jakob has been an integral part of the local scene, co-founding and runnig labels & party series like "Rota Bene" and "Entrance Music". He has been a rolemodel of ours for years now, known for relentlessly digging for obscurities and rarities that genuinely blow your mind. This recording is an outtake of a 3+ hour warmup set in PRST Club, yet again showcasing why the nickname "groovemasta fitsch" fits so accurately. Great to have you on board friend, definitely one to keep an eye on.

Next up is an addition we didn’t want to miss for our series. Number ACHT is an emotional power-infused ride straight from the mind of Vienna-based, carinthian longterm digger Gian-Luca. 

Giani is a devoted Dj with a very special relation to his collection. A guy who always prefers spending his savings on precious records rather than on holidays, cloths or anything else. Having started to shape the carinthian scene in his early career with events like Taktart, he longed for more and set sail for Vienna, getting deeper into the grooves and mentality of what became his nowadays style. 

Dive right in dear friends and enjoy 2 hours of groovy surprises. 
Thank you Giani!
