We’re delighted to touch back down in Berlin to hear from one of the city’s most stalwart deep-house supporters. A two-hour exploration into the collection of a man searching for the soul in all things electronic music. We give the warmest of welcomes to Esti, known widely as Estimulo.

Esti’s entry into music was one of intense curiosity: chopping up radio recordings from a young age and assorting them into mock radio shows of his own. Borne from an unquenchable thirst for groovy electronic sounds, and after becoming infatuated by “The Big Beat on Fridays”, a radio show active in 1988, he set upon a quest to collect as many house records as possible. This emphatic drive led to his dabbling with pirate FM radio in 1990, when finally, Esti could broadcast the sounds he loved with his neighbourhood. Though sadly, his childhood dream was cut short by the authorities soon after...

Esti, however undeterred, soldiered on with a smile, and the spoils of his devotion are evident in the thirty years that have elapsed since then. He now operates a long-standing record label and internet-radio show, Mixomat Recordings and the EstimuloShow respectively, and has performed in some of the most revered institutions in Europe: namely Tresor, Berghain and ADE. These such outings have also led to performances alongside esteemed acolytes like Gerd Janson, Fantastic Man, Shed and I-F. 

For someone with such a colourful career in electronic music, you’d expect his early influences and musical ventures to reflect in his Bside episode, and they certainly do. Staying true to his innate connection with deep electronic sounds, Esti guides us through curious downbeat IDM, emotive house and Italo, woozy two-step, and juddering, euphoric breaks. Proving to us that he can indeed find the soul in everything.

This week we leap into the astonishing record collection of Jaye Ward, one that has been amassed across 30+ years within the music scene. The mix is a 3 hour voyage through ambient electronics, chuggy, percussive goodness packed with character, oddities and surprises from the furthest corners of her collection. A masterclass in selection and technical know-how. We were delighted to welcome Jaye to Dimensions this summer and are excited to present this recording for anyone that might have missed a slice of the action on-site – enjoy.

DIM271 - Jaye Ward

It is by pressing play on the fourth installment of event collective Likeminded podcast series that we got introduced to Koen FM's very unique musical universe. We immediately wanted to hear more from him and his collection of records. 

Koen is a Montessori primary school teacher based in Amsterdam. Besides being a teacher, he has been collecting electronic music for +/- 15 years and DJ’ing every now and then.

Talking about his selection for this podcast, he shared the following with us: "I’ve always been fascinated by cosmic, dubby, ambient, techno and downtempo sounds like you could hear on MTV chill out zone back when I was little. Although I do check new stuff that comes out, I mostly like to dig through records that come from the ’90s. This mix contains a bit of both, older and newer tunes. Some digital and some vinyl records."

Koen does not often record podcasts, and we are super thankful to have his contribution for our series. He once again opened up the doors to his psychedelic, cosmic and very cinematic music selection, offering the Polychrome Radio its first downtempo podcast, and a simply superb recording.

Press play and let yourself flow softly. Enjoy!

Live recording of @glenstefani from the last aquatic adventure in the crustacean cult temple, Plötzensee, 23rd April 2023. 

During the final moments of The Lighthouse season closing, one dancefloor submerged itself in the sounds of Toby’s salty synth work and seaworthy samples. Grab your snorkels and jump into this live underwatery closing set from The Aquarium.

Next up Mother of Whomp Annx (@annx-anna-whomp) invited Muddy Puppy on ‘The Sound of Whomp’ -  up-and-coming London-based duo comprised of Olive (@oliveoiley) and Jen (@jenharkness).

They’ve put together an hour of digs that twist and turn through the depths of tech house, from melodic squelchy rollers to euphoric warpers with a healthy dose of proggy pumpers for good measure.

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
