Being named a resident at Berghain is likely an unattainable dream for so many DJs, but for Sedef Adasi, it all happened naturally. The Turkish producer grew up in the mid-sized Bavarian city of Augsburg, where a lack of spaces she felt comfortable with—she's mentioned DJing in shoe stores—led her to start her own party, HAMAM Nights. From there she made her name with a vibrant, diverse sound that encompasses breaks, electro, techno and more, with soft-focus melodies and plenty of vocal hooks. She's one of the first residents at the legendary club to truly reflect the glorious cross-pollination of dance music styles in the '10s, when techno absorbed ideas from dubstep, garage and more. 

Adasi represents both floors of that club, and you could imagine this RA Podcast going down in either room, but of course, she exists outside that club's narrative too. What you'll hear here is a cutting-edge and dynamic blend of electro and Latin techno—with two tracks from 2022 MVP Nick León—mixed with grace and finesse. Her sound is immediately approachable, well-paced and full of catchy moments and breakdowns. Listen and find out.

A few words from the artist:

1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?

My connection to music is very much a love/hate relationship. Some days, I wake up and feel an overwhelming, transcendent love for all forms of sound—whether it’s music, noise, or even random everyday sounds. But other days, even the chirping of birds gets under my skin. This duality really mirrors my creative process: one day, I feel like everything I create is brilliant, and the next, I question how I could possibly produce something so meaningless.

2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music?

Music is my chosen medium of expression—it’s what I’m most sensitive to. But it’s the same with fashion; everything feels interconnected. When I attend a fashion show, I can sense the music and the artistry behind it. To me, a melody can be just as much a form of art as a drawing or even a pair of loose jeans. It’s all about choosing the medium that resonates with you.

3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études Studio to make this mix?

Honestly, it’s the pants. Études pants have this precise, cool cut that I absolutely love. I can’t deny it—I’m a huge fan of their pants ahah.

4/ How did you curate this musical sequence/audio journey?

I was on holiday in Zanzibar, an island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, and a local saying really stuck with me during that trip: Pole pole, which means “slowly” in Swahili. While the mix itself isn’t particularly slow, I was inspired by the serene and breathtaking water landscapes I experienced there. I wanted to translate what it might feel like to party in such a setting into music.

5/ Three words to define your mix for Études Studio?

Blue, Tentacle, Coral.

Spinning Grounds w/ Naomi

The monthly show hosted by @katharina-davids is returning with guest @naominice

Been wanting to get Naomi on Spinning Grounds for a bit —and now it’s time! Her skilful vinyl sets are packed with groove, heat, and that unmistakable house feeling. She’s been hopping from Robert Johnson to Panorama Bar, Heideglühen to Nation of Gondwana... and now she landed in our little radio corner for some real dub house dreams.

'Spinning Grounds' is all about opening grounds - for both newcomers and experienced selectors alike - to spin music outside of club spaces to explore a wide range of genres from house, Detroit, deep house, dub house, ambient, breaks, UK garage, minimal, dub techno to .......

Spinning Grounds w/ Naomi @THF Radio, 31/07/25

Next up on Community Function we have britty. a Detroit-based DJ with a deep love for groove, space, and the energy of a good dance floor. Longtime dancer turned selector, her sets are inspired by being locked in the groove with sounds that move through minimal house, techno, breakbeats, and left-field textures.

"This mix is a love letter to the Marble Bar patio dance floor. Inspired by late nights that melt into early mornings, locked deep in a groove beneath the disco skull, only to be released when the first rays of sunlight catch the mirrors above. The playful textures and deep grooves are meant to keep you locked in but pleasantly surprised at what’s coming next. Enjoy the ride. "

With great joy, we present the live recording of @massimilianopagliara, captured during 4 YEARS of PAX-ROMANA.

A true craftsman of sound and emotion, Massimiliano’s performance was the perfect soundtrack for sweaty upstairs vibes! We welcomed 'techno massi' already twice at PAX-ROMANA, however this time he showed also being a true master of blending house. A radiant journey through dance music at its finest.

Set time: 02:00 – 05:00

Enjoy listening! <3
