Pi Electronics celebrates the launch of its new collection, 'LIMITATION', in Athens.
 Here's a live in-store broadcast of Alessandro Adriani.

Alessandro Adriani is a lot of things – DJ, producer, live performer, and label owner but above all, he is a tireless music researcher. The Berlin-based Italian goes further than your average “crate digger” in pursuit of information about sounds, styles, artists, and record labels, devoting countless hours to unearthing the untold stories behind the music he loves, regardless of when it was made. 

Thanks to REVOLT! for hosting this event.

"As time goes by, you understand how a journey is crafted: intensity, balance, interpretation, melodies, broadening the musical spectrum... ultimately, years of experience and passion. This trip is an example of all that, with two turntables and captivation from start to finish. Exquisite."

Serious Cut (@seriouscut) is the project of Raúl Zapata, a renowned artist in the underground scene of Valencia. With an exquisite taste and enviable technique, his personal sessions explore the most daring styles of electronic music. Under the name "Serious Cut," he performs ambient and electronic music heavily influenced by the 90s.

Self-meditation is an important aspect of IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy which had a profound impact on my life. 

Self is our internal energy, known as a source or soul. Self is in every one of us. It can't be damaged or broken. It's the source of our compassion, courage, curiosity, and connectedness. It has healing potential in all the parts of our psyche.

When we access more Self within us we can hear and connect with ourselves and with others. We are more grounded so to speak. 

Some time ago I stumbled upon this meditation by Darshan Stevens and as an experiment I put on a techno beat. After a year of this experiment, I believe it's about time to share this tune with you.

Roman god of fertility, mirth, merriment, revelry, wine, wisdom, and
inspiration.

Bacchus was born of Zeus and Semele's union against the will of Hera, Zeus wife. When the jealous Hera learned of Semele's pregnancy by Zeus she angrily plotted against them. She disguised herself and came to Semele, telling her she should ask that Zeus appear before her in all his glory as the god of thunder.Zeus swore to grant whatever wish Semele might have. Forced to abide by his oath, he appeared to Semele as a display of lightening and thunder, which killed her. As Semele died, she gave birth to Bacchus, who died as well. Zeus restored life to him and sent the child to be raised by the nymphs, out of Hera's jealous eye.

As the god of spring, he is Bacchus is said to be in terrible pain during winter when the flowering plants and vines wither and die.
His followers were called bacchants. After reveling and overindulging in wine, they danced around in a craze often trampling and tearing people and animals to pieces. Bacchanalia was a festival held which involved excessive drinking and drunken orgies. Also known as Dionysus [Greek].

For the thirteenth episode of our podcast series, we are presenting a 90-minute studio recorded mix by Kim Kenis.

Natural consequence is a key phrase for Brussels-born DJ Kim Kenis.  Raised by a drummer, it’s no coincidence that she easily stays in time as she strings together gems from along the genre spectrum. Known and loved as someone who pretty much can’t stop dancing once she starts, it was only a matter of time before she channeled this endurance behind the decks.  Whether sending stargazers into the ether with her ambient selections or getting hearts and bass thumping on the dancefloor with her minimalistic techno sets, Kim brings a bewitching tenderness to her DJ-ing that quickly caught the attention of the Belgian scene.

With the tenacity of a historian deep in an archive, she’s had a near-prolific output of thoughtful, studied radio mixes since 2019 (Refuge Worldwide FM, WAV, Radio Sofa) and an interesting club & festival schedule (Waking Life, Horst Arts & Music, Paradise City, Listen! Festival, Funke, …).
