Radiant Futur - Lost in Setup

TIGERCAST stands as an engaging monthly podcast series, curated by Tiger Weeds Records. Its primary mission is to provide a platform for a wide-ranging spectrum of artists, each contributing to the elaborate and diverse landscape that defines the immersive realm of Electro sound.

Grid User (real name Artem Kres) is a Ukrainian producer and DJ, founder of the new label Connectome Records. He produces electro. It all started when he took the DNA of the old spirit of electro and transformed it into a new sound. Artem entered the media field with a release on Tiger Weeds, then continued with self-releases and music on labels like Mystictrax. Now he's preparing many new releases and developing his own label.

This mix was recorded especially for Tiger Weeds and Fade Radio, with love.
Electro don't stop.

For the new IDA podcast, Dawn Razor (@awnazor) delivers a mix built around rolling techno rhythms, tranced feel breakbeats and wobble bass electro, seasoned with wonky obscurities, piercing rave hoovers and psychedelic vocal hooks.

The atmosphere flows between trippy and euphoric, capturing both depth and drive. This mix reflects the more dancefloor-oriented side of his sound while still carrying the signature mood of his latest IDA release with ArcheTech.

Tune in.

IDA MIX051: Dawn Razor

Today on Meta Moto Podcast, we welcome Tylusis Pankas – a Lithuanian DJ and visual artist based in Glasgow, and co-founder of the genre-fluid mix series SHöK. A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, Tylusis brings a design-driven sensibility to his sonic work, weaving together diverse styles with precision and atmosphere.

His sets move freely across the electronic spectrum from electro and EBM to New Beat and beyond building emotional momentum through shifting moods, tempos, and textures. Whether in clubs, on local internet radio, or deep in rave territory, his selections are immersive, unexpected, and highly intentional.

This mix, recorded for Radio Vilnius and aired on June 9th, 2025, captures his signature sound: fluid, fearless, and rooted in the underground.

The second mix in the Hybrid Moment x Egor Strelkov series comes from Kyiv-based DJ and producer Lvcerate — an artist whose approach gravitates toward the darker, less obvious edges of dance music.

Lvcerate is also the curator of the Cultivating Discipline show on Fade Radio.

His style blends minimalism with a dramatic yet confident atmosphere, acid-tinged textures, aggressive percussion, and an avant-garde sensibility. Each of his mixes is an intimate story that opens a path to a deeper connection with sound.
