Awkwardly Cast

lissen

Hacking our weekly Rinse transmission this Saturday are mysterious Antwerp-based outfit PTTRN, up with a mesmeric, full-scale smasher of a mix. Hot on the heels of their debut 12" release on Belgium's finest Token, the duo takes us on a fevered two-hour trip across spine-tingling mosaics and subterranean fractals of sound. Proper hypnotic shadow play from a production unit right on the cusp of big, big tings.

VOITAX MIX 060 | Farron (Live)

Here we go with Awk Cast no. 45, with a mix that aptly reminds us that the time has come to dust off your dancing shoes and embrace spring in the long missed comfort of a sweaty club. Amsterdam native and Berlin based artist @murieldb does brilliantly in telling us just that with this stunning effort, smoothly taking the reigns over our series with her dubbed out and playful selections. Lots of influences come together in these 90 minutes that are eclectic and colourful to fully engage all our senses while similarly relaxed and cool enough to want us keep on grooving forever.

The one and only Millie invited me to do a guest mix for her show on Netil Radio, this time moving away from club music and sharing old and new favorites from different genres.

For the second installment of the Awk Cast in 2025, we bring you the wiggly waves of @hassan94,  co-founding member of the wonderful @worthwhiletangents crew. 

In this two hour mix, the Iraqi born, UK raised and Berlin based selector takes us on a deep and varied dive into his sonic world. Seamlessly jumping between lots of styles that are enjoyably hard to pigeonhole, every tune feels perfectly placed and adds to the on point levels of subtle sass and playfulness on display here. 

Wiggle to these waves, enjoy the spring sun, and think of many more fun wiggles to come!

The Awkwardly Cast is back, bringing you the sounds of @rompagt

As a founding force behind @ghsttwn, Rompa is shaping some of the
most forward-thinking lineups in southern Germany’s club scene while pushing
the boundaries of cutting-edge electronic music through label work. Rooted in
community and driven by experimentation, he curates shows for @radio80000,
oﬀering a raw and unfiltered glimpse into his sonic vision. Sometimes dark and
deconstructed, sometimes fast and relentless, but always riding the razor’s edge
of experimental bass music and beyond.

This mix is an immersion into his evolving soundscape. Nodding to the pulsating
rhythms of Berlin nights while embracing a passion for tripped-out twists, it’s a
high-energy journey through gnarly textures and rave euphoria. Expect plenty of
forthcoming Ghosttown material along the way.

Awkwardly Cast 068 / Rompa

For the 69th edition of the Awk Cast series, we're stoked to bring to you the sounds of Croatian taste maker @iggydope 

The @etherwerkz label boss goes deep, raw and trippy in this 2h mix, providing high octane techno and bass mutations that are perfectly suited to dimly lit clubs and sweaty basements. Strap in and get sucked into the wormhole!

Awkwardly Cast 069 / Iggy Dope

The Awk Cast turns 70 (!) and we're back with a special edition in the form of this beautiful mixtape by @isthispaun. 

This is a follow-up to the mix featured on Barcelona's Offline Meeting Point. Including some selections by local heroes, it maintains the grimey and experimental mood, while infusing some fun for the season. Summer's in Berlin and we dance under an eclipse. Tracklist to appear on Buy Music Club.

paun is an emerging producer and DJ based in Berlin. Alongside their music, they curate an ambient DJ mix series on Callshop Radio, which has featured notable local DJs like Abibi (Un:seen Berlin), Zapata (Hardmatter Records) and INVERNO (BLVSH/KLEM).

For the next edition of the AWK cast we have Berlin-based artist ZE:NA serving up a fresh blend of UK flavours. Effortlessly oscillating between dubstep, grime, 2step, ukg and more, this mix will certainly lift your spirits, even on the rainiest of summer days!

Remember ZE:NA's name as she's sure bound to make some more big waves in the local scene soon.

Also, don't forget to check out one of her recently founded Rise nights, raising money for Rise Foundation e.V, a local Homeless Support Charity. 


Awkwardly Cast 071 / ZE:NA

Mumdance embraces a much wider world of sound than many. The UK producer is an experienced collaborator who grounds his sounds in anything from grime to breaks, techno to hardcore, experimental to world and afro. Making textured noise with a module set up, playing sets that run a dizzying gamut of genres and performing live with the likes of Novelist, he is a restless creative who works with labels like Tectonic, Keysound Recordings and XL Recordings. On top of all this, he runs his own Different Circles label, heads up one of Rinse FM’s most popular radio shows and designed sound presents for the relaunched 303 and 909 machines by Roland.

His mix for us is a beguiling, hard to categorise blend of all of this, forthcoming stuff and more: from brain frying frequencies and skeletal grooves from somewhere on the hardcore continuum to sci-fi ambiance, deep techno rhythms and immersive passages of raved-up sound design, it is a singular proposition from someone who embodies many different aspects of UK electronic music past, present and future, often all at once.

For this @darkscienceelectro premiere we at another look at @Conforce aka Versalife on @2020visionrecordings

Versalife’s second release for 20/20 Vision sees Dutch producer Boris Bunnik aka Conforce return with another slab of signature electro.

The track selected by @DVSNME to premiere is the second track of this 4-track EP. ‘Aegis’ delivers a double dose of mechanical funk, played over atmospheric strings and auditory acid delights. This entire EP is quite the work by the veteran producer. The vinyl release will become available on October 14th.
