EstimuloShow GUEST MIX: Orbit (Genie In A Bottle, Secret Keeper)

It's time to present a new edition of DSSmix! This time we invited Santiago Ritacco, who is undoubtedly one of our favorite selectors in the current Spanish scene. His selections and skill in finding gems from the 90s and mid-00s make him a standout artist. It's also worth noting that Ritacco collaborated with us on our first compilation with his project R&I. It's a great pleasure to have you in this series.

_______

1. How and where was the mix recorded?

I recorded it at my home in Tenerife. We programmed it several months ago, so I had time to make a good selection of what I wanted to play.

2. Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

The idea behind this mix was to create a podcast dedicated to what I usually play on the dance floor, including many unreleased tracks from upcoming projects and edits, always with my signature 90s sound.

3. What are you up to next? Projects, ideas…

In a few weeks, we have the Dias De Campo festival (which inspired me a lot for this mix), several upcoming dates booked, and we continue working on our label Toscal Records, where we are preparing our first vinyl and promoting the local scene with my group of friends from Carne Fiesta.

4.- Lastly, for you what is Dance, Shake, Swing!?

I've known Leo for many years, I think even before they founded this brand, and they are doing a great job in the Barcelona scene. I hope they continue for many more years!

Taimur & Artro - Mindframe EP - Blkmarket Music 
[Blkmusic 013 - 14TH RELEASE]
 
BLKMARKET MUSIC announces the 14th release on the label entitled ‘Mindframe.’  

Label boss Taimur & long time friend Artro hailing from Costa Rica come together to bring you the label’s latest release that was recorded at Trial Und Error Studio in San José, Costa Rica in 2023. The two forged a friendship back in 2012 when Taimur was invited to San José to play the legendary club Vertigo alongside Artro. On their recent meet up in summer of 2023, the two friends played together once again at Antik club in San José and went into the studio together for the first time. The result was Mindframe.

A1 - ‘Know Your Friends’ Vox version takes you on a sinister techno and bleep adventure reminding you of the friends you make. 

A2 - ‘Machina’ is an ode to UR. A techno track as if the world was to be taken over by robots and machines that destroyed humanity. 
That were built and placed by those that are evil. But in the end, the good humans win.

B1 - The sinister techno and bleep track ‘Know Your Friends’ gets a Voxless interpretation for those that just want the rhythm.

B2 - ‘Elements’ is a self check peak time bomb that reminds you what you can do and to not overthink what you do.

We are excited to share this new release with you all. 

Label run by Taimur and Ostara.

Kristof L- Scratch The Record (Jamie Hernandez Remix)

Dear fellaz, please give a warm welcome to Kashawar for the 8th installement of our podcast season. For once, this podcast is a live recording from last summer, at our very favourite summer spot: the legendary Club Der Visionaere.
For years now, Kashawar has been refining his sound, both as a Dj and as a producer. His latest releases on Partisan are a turning point in Sergej's carreer, where we find him attracted to bleepy techno sounds. Likewise, our man has been heavily digging lately, this podcast showcases an immersion among his unnumerable dancefloor burners. 
We have been impressed by the bold selection and can't help but regret to have missed that special night at CDV - thankfully, Kashawar recorded it, and kindly submitted it to BMP. Press play and come join us in the smallest Berlin dancefloor!
