Alrighty, for our 11th instalment on Operator radio we share 60min of SARIN's DJ set recorded during our last September event in Brussels - where we brought him back after 8 years of avoiding the chaotic Belgium capital. Bangers only. Beware! With over a dozen 12” releases on various labels (aufnahme + wiedergabe ; BITE, Mechatronic, Pi Electronics, and so on and so on...) as well as on his own X-IMG platform, SARIN stands out as an audio/visual and electronic music performance project that hits the nail on the head. Destructive percussion & cold synths coupled with laser focused sampling and media manipulation form the basis of his signature syncopated and mind altering sound.

Mutant Modality w/ SARIN - 14th February 2025

Moot has been collecting music and DJ'ing for over 30 years. He has played at various festivals in Germany and The Netherlands, as well as gigs in Manchester, Glasgow and his hometown of Chester. Moot's mixing style is fast paced and energetic mixing techno, house, electro, ghetto, disco and whatever else feels right at the time.

This mix was recorded at Club 69 in December 2024, when Moot warmed up for DJ Stingray. It's a full on assault of Techno, Ghetto, Acid and Electro. Enjoy

Hypnotic Groove Mix #471 - Moot

BUY VINYL: https://billconverse.bandcamp.com/album/trust

Cult icon Bill Converse trots back to Dark Entries with Trust. Converse has honed his craft since the early days of the Midwest rave scene, absorbing lessons from luminaries like Claude Young and Traxx. His skill as a producer has been cemented with releases on labels like Dark Entries, Fit Sound, and Obsolete Futures, and his prowess as a DJ has been witnessed on floors worldwide. In recent years, Converse has also pushed audiences to their lysergic limits with his sinewy and kinetic live sets, which pair classic analog boxes like the Roland TB-303 with cutting-edge modular synthesis techniques. The 7 tracks on Trust pick up the wild energy of these live hardware explorations, channeling the splayed beats of Chicago’s Relief Records, the acidic grit of Midwest techno like Woody McBride’s Communique Records, and the hypnagogic hooks of Artificial Intelligence-era IDM. According to Converse, the abrupt changes and off-kilter rhythms are “an effort to facilitate or express trust-making in the listening experience. I want some degree of give and take with the listener.” This process makes Converse’s sound truly singular, the kind of aural landscape that can only be conjured through a lifetime of crate-digging and analog abuse - just check out the untenable funk of “Live Track” or the otherworldly groove of “Romance.” Trust comes in a sleeve featuring artwork from Sonya Rapaport from 1986 featuring images generated with an MS-DOS computer. Converse says “I think there's also a muscle-to-love vibe with this one.” We can trust him.

We are over the moon to have @ekatamusic on our Operator show. She is a UK based DJ/Producer + Natural Selection Resident who's productions are characterised by their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, driven by pulsating rhythms and intricate synth work. She mainly sticks to the dark and eerie side of Electro/Techno where she will take you on a dark and twisted journey through a dystopian world. WHAT TO EXPECT: Ominous grooves, Machine sounds, broken mechanical tones and obvious sci-fi fixations which embody her carefully picked selections.

Operator Radio - Mutant Modality w/ EKATA - 26.03.2025

People sometimes speak of something that happens frequently as happening 'ever so often'. But when something happens only occasionally, it happens every so often. Ever so often is a monthly show at Operator by Samira, a dj that usually comes back to a darker palette of melancholic electro, acid and new beat.
