Strange Interactions is a DJ/producer-duo, label and party based in Naarm co-founded by Margarita Bassova (RITA BASS) and Yang Chen (Yangos) in 2021.  

As a DJ-duo the pair have two aliases: Strange Interactions and Strange Attractions. As Strange Interactions they manoeuvre the darker side of underground electronic music ranging from drum and bass to dubstep, UK bass to IDM and all the dark and murky corners in-between. As Strange Attractions they play with lighter sounds they love, with a particularly affinity for left-field house, chubby electro and jazz. 

The label focuses on uplifting female and GNC acts in the music industry, giving creatives the space to share their creativity both locally and eventually globally. SI is also very interested in an artists intention behind their creation, and have a particular fondness for lifting artists who share a strong purpose whether it be sociopolitical, philosophical, personal or emotional. The first release on the label is set for May 5th this year.

BL Radio Ep 61: NOMADICO/KOSMIK - "MLK DEDICATION"

For our next trip Down The Stairs, we return much closer to home (well, it is home for 1/2 of 2Sox) and are ridiculously delighted to bring you 1/2 of Inverness club night, mix series, digital label, online premiere maestros AND previous DTS guests - Hypnotic Groove! ( @hypno_groove )

Andrea ( @andrea-gilbert-mac )has been at the forefront of pushing a wide spectrum of electronic music from her Highland base for a number of years. Whether it's the fabled, sweaty, Inverness club nights, guest mixes on Rinse FM or pushing brand new music via premieres, Andrea's finger is always on the pulse.

So, it goes without saying, inviting her to go DTS has been on our radar for a fair while (aka too long).

For this trip, Andrea puts the pounding techno largely to one side and focuses on a more 2020/21 appropriate sound, with a delightful journey guaranteed to make you drift, relax and think of good times gone and ahead. With a fair nod to those aforementioned sweaty club nights towards the end of the mix. A much needed and enjoyable shift in direction for the DTS series in general too.

Except delightful nuggets from the likes @arovane-1 , @skam , @theburrellconnection (as Dream-E) , @benoitb , @kondukukonduku , @pseudopolis and many more.
