"The recording captures the vibe of KiNK and Raredub on stage. A good balance of party and heady music, a journey of funky techno and UK/bass music influenced beats. The selection includes some unreleased tracks by the duo and their friends".

KiNK:
Say what you wanna say, but you have to give Strahil Velchev this: the man’s a powerhouse. Recording and playing live under the KiNK alias, he went on to become one of the finest purveyor’s of funk in techno and house. What it is, by definition, ain’t exactly clear. And that is the beauty of it.

KiNK’s music is unifying in the best possible way. Channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didn’t really matter who the faces behind the music were, KiNK plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. At the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the Pope himself is infallible.

The pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience – rather than carbon copies of existing designs – was what started KiNK’s production work. Hailing from Bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from Sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. Wanting to DJ without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. So, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond.

From KiNK’s early productions with Neville Watson to his smash-hit for Ovum, a cerebral album for Macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, Playground seems to take all that into a blender. Simultaneously a sound- summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of KiNK dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions find their idiosyncratic and contemplative counterparts – all of it coming down like a torrent in a drought.

Raredub:
Raredub is a Sofia-based music producer and DJ. Known for his high-octane energy, he infuses every set with a distinctive and dynamic vibe, regardless of when he plays.

Drawing inspiration from the early ’90s rave culture, Raredub puts a unique spin on his tracks. His music pulsates with raw beats and cutting-edge grooves, making a signature and bold statement.

In 2021, he dropped his first EP on KiNK’s Sofia Records, stepping onto the global music scene. His work has gained recognition by artists like Paul Woolford, Fjaak, Paggy Gou, Partiboi69, Skin On Skin, just to name a few.

GARBAGE DELIGHT | FULL LIVE SET | DGTL AMSTERDAM 2025 | 20.4.2025

We’re thrilled to bring you our 100th podcast episode! Throughout this journey, we’ve blended established names with emerging talents — championing the sounds of tomorrow while honouring our roots. To mark this milestone, we’ve invited a true Glitch favorite for the honour: an artist who consistently pushes the boundaries of electronic music. Yes, it’s none other than Anetha.

Renowned for weaving glossy textures of techno, trance, and experimental soundscapes, the Mama Told Ya label boss delivers 75 minutes of sharp percussion, deep textures, and radiant energy. The set unfolds in distinct phases, skillfully balancing tension and release. The result is a fluid, organic, percussive techno trip crafted to capture the heat and intensity of Malta.

Anetha says: "I’ve recorded this set with the Maltese summer in mind — a perfect warm-up before I return to Glitch"

NIINE, Sohail Godwin - Never Leave [GR062]

A respected figure in the Dutch dance music scene, Moody Mehran is known for his broad and open-minded approach to DJing. Rather than following a single genre, his sets draw from all corners of electronic music, grounded in a deep love for Chicago house and Detroit techno. With a focus on timeless and authentic records, he weaves together eclectic sounds that reflect both knowledge and passion.

This mix was recorded in his bedroom using CDJs, a mixer, and speakers on the floor. It features some of his current favourites and offers a glimpse into the wide spectrum of music that shapes his sets.
