Please note that for the time being, our podcast series is invite only (we struggle for time to listen to all the mixes sent to us).

Our premiere service is currently paused.

Please email Katie@5thday.co.uk rather than message on SC. Thank you in advance for your patience as it can take us some time to work through emails.

On the 5th Day is a means of sharing our love for the underground electronic music scene, and the artists and sounds which inspire us, via events, a podcast stream and label.

Blazej Malinowski
Take any of Blazej Malinowski’s numerous projects—his wide-ranging productions, powerful DJ or live sets, events, radio shows or record label Inner Tension—and you will find the same ethos at the core. They’re all built on a passion for creating uplifting moments through electronic music, and on an open-mindedness to explore, collaborate and evolve.

Malinowski started DJing in early 2000s Warsaw, while eagerly discovering early US house and techno music. Together with his friend Michał Wolski, Malinowski started the Fünfte Strasse Project as an event series and radio show. From there, gigs quickly began to flow. His skills behind the decks stood out, and before long Malinowski was playing across Poland and around the world, delivering beloved sets of driving, contemporary techno.

While developing an uncompromising musical identity as a DJ, Malinowski began to translate his nuanced interpretation of techno, ambient and experimental music into productions. His first released works landed in 2012, laying the groundwork for records on acclaimed labels such as The Gods Planet, Svreca’s Semantica and Claudio PRC’s 012. Fast forward to today and Malinowski is a go-to name for tripped-out, psychedelic grooves for pitch-black dancefloors.

Despite his acclaim as a techno artist, Malinowski holds the more experimental side of his craft in equal standing. He is the founder of the A/V event series Why So Silent?, which pairs electronic music with silent movies, and also continues to push his boundaries through collaborations, such as the leftfield duo Keen Distress, or B2B sets.

Though Malinowski recently made the move to Berlin in order to fully realise his ambitions, he remains as committed as ever to his native Poland’s musical landscape, holding down a residency at Jasna1 and tirelessly championing the country’s cultural  history and vibrant scene. From his new home, a global hub for dance music, Malinowski is pushing himself to explore the full range of possibilities within techno’s ever-evolving framework.

Kias - Mouche - Ittara
Kiss Klub - Die Rakete

From teenage years spent playing guitar in punk and indie bands, it was clear that Michael had a propensity for alternative musical culture and the divergent sonics that drive it. A gradual shift toward electronic music lead Michael to channel an enthusiasm for Techno into DJing, event management and most recently - label management.

Fast forward to the present and Michael now has 20 years of experience working as a now esteemed figure in Nürnberg's musical milieu. His event 'Kiss Klub' is one of Rakete's longest standing club nights and is essentially the core of his musical endeavours. In 2022, the project expanded to incorporate a label: Kias which was inaugurated by Ostgut's Fiedel and will now continue to provide a platform for some of the many artists in the ever-expanding Kiss Klub family.

As a DJ, Michael weaves sets that are as moody and subtle as they are kinetic and driving. Deep and dark shades of Techno are consistently coloured with a touch of Dub while looming drones bring depth and character to his hypnotic selections. As a producer, Michael utilises his knowledge of musical theory garnered from piano playing as he builds the cogs that drive his sets; classically structured Techno that packs power and intrigue in equal measures.

The bass is beating, feels like my heart is bleeding. When the music unfolds its spell and you hear the drums of hell….

Let me take you by the hand and guide you to the darkest land, up to mystic melodies and heavy sounding industry…we will dance in harmony!


I am Max aka Unknown Element, born in 1995. I discovered my love for techno in nuremberg (Germany) but soon noticed that Berlin is offering the harder and darker music I like. One of my biggest inspirations is classic music, especially movie soundtracks. I want my sets and productions to suck the listener in like a mystical thriller or historical movie drama.

I would describe my sound as an exploration through the mad trains of thought the human brain often travels through!
