Outsiders: West Mineral Ltd. w/ Loidis - Hanna Special @ Kiosk Radio 02.09.2025

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

RA.1003 XDB

One of the most special things about curating this series is the opportunity to connect with like-minded, beautiful souls from around the world. Among them is none other than the lovely DOC, whom we warmly welcome to the series <3

If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting DOC, or even briefly chatted with him online, you’ll know just how deeply passionate and supportive he is about the music he loves. He carries a special, contagious energy that inspires those around him and resonates throughout his artistry as a gifted selector, producer, and curator of the incredible Selene Series / The Continuum podcast.

Today, we are deeply honoured and grateful to share a very special improvised live recording, generously gifted to us by DOC and his machines.

With music, we are always searching for a familiar feeling or experience - a kind of warm, comforting nostalgia - and we find it here, within this beautifully woven, abstract tapestry of sound.

Thanks David <3

“This set was on the last night, after spending the whole festival supervising the ambient tent, which I had the pleasure of curating this year. I hadn’t had a chance to dance all weekend, and I had so much energy built up that needed to go somewhere. Finally, I got to channel it into the mix, and I must say, it was probably the highest-energy set I’ve played this year?

My slot was sandwiched between trance fam Auratekh and Sybil, so it genuinely felt like playing with friends. The FM pub tent is the place to get a bit loose and dance, so for this one, I leaned into the more energetic side of prog and psy, revisiting a few 90s gems I hadn’t played in a while.” - TSUNIMAN 

we’re looking back at this year’s edition of field maneuvers for another live recording this week, this time from london-based, switzerland-born artist TSUNIMAN. gracefully imprinted in the local london scene, TSUNIMAN excels in worldbuilding, bridging together the old and new to create these narratives for her audience to get lost in. casting a spell on those who witness her sets, they tend to be filled with euphoria, spacey delights and lots of quiet moments for reflecting. in this set for FM, TSUNIMAN is in the fast lane, going full turbo mode. 

a fellow resident on london’s hub, netil radio, with the monthly Плазма (PLASMA) show where she invites guests to either go back-to-back with her or take over the full slot, most often platforming those who are emerging. her guests have included dj wiggles, rbi, celestial, neurotrancer, annx, dogheadsurigeri, and henderson to name a few. alongside this, she has guested on international radio stations such as kiosk radio, rinse fm and den anden side. her dj sets have seen her play at renowned spots across the world, including becoming a resident at klub verboten, as well as performances at refractor festival, unfold, ohm, the white holel, hutte in the forest, goodness, everybody trance and waterworks.
