Zurkin | EOS Radio - Sep 22 / 2022

We continue to slowly open the stash of unbelievable recordings from ICKPA 2023 in RSO Berlin. This one comes from two Tbilisi heavyweights and their visionary collaboration debuting on past summer edition.

ICKPA 007 - Zitto b2b Zurkin

Next up in our mix series is Zitto & Zurkin, two central figures and cornerstones in the Tbilisi-scene. Zitto is a resident at Bassiani, and is turning into one of the most intriguing figures for the local clubbing sphere, with his level of selection and world building. Zurkin is another central figure of the Tbilisi community, being the co-founder of Vodkast Records, both an imprint and Tbilisi vinyl oasis for fervid record lovers.

In this episode we are presenting a marathon live recording of their closing set from Bassiani, January 27th. Dive into this 9,5 hour ride, where they navigate between trance and psychedelic techno from the past three decades. Steering seamlessly through rolling chuggers, trippy euphoria and wormhole trance, Zitto and Zurkin are a truly fruitful symbiosis.
