Club Elevate w. Ricky Nord ft. HASVAT INFORMANT - 28 April 2023

For the first of our Kiss + Tell Invites: Series, Rogan hits us with a 1 hour mix of relentless energy and intricate layering of various threads from the modern day weave of underground dance music.

Seamlessly blending industrial and rhythmic elements with abstract psychedelic soundscapes with his unique but refined mixing abilities; Rogan’s genre-bending set is one that is as much of a rhythmic and immersive journey as it is a playful and enigmatic one.

Keep a keen eye out for Rogan’s upcoming productions which will be hitting the platform in the near future.

Kiss + Tell Invites: Rogan

For mix number 15 in the PPRZ Podcast series, we have a mix from Vancouver's @reidfernando

Reid Fernando is a Scottish DJ/visual artist who's quickly carved a name for himself within the Canadian dance music scene.

After discovering a deep love for groovy and abrasive sounds in Glasgow, he has been consistently honing his sound at some of the finest establishments in the capital plus a monthly residency on EHFM from its inception.

Following a serendipitous encounter with PHTM head honcho Tommy Lewis at Dolly Disco, the two have worked endlessly to push their label and collective to the farthest reaches of the globe. 

Reid Fernando describes the mix as "This mix represents the culmination of my DJing efforts over the past two years of my life in Canada. I have encountered the most beautiful people in the scene here, fostering deep and powerful connections from these interactions, which has heavily informed my mixing style and holistic mindset. I feel privileged to be surrounded by such immense talent; showcasing my contemporaries' production efforts amongst label signees and the freshest slices of groovy music is an absolute treat.

Expect to hear relentless technoid grooves interspersed with minimal/bass flavorings, wrapped up in a clean, sexy veneer 😉"

decompression session 001: Candy Jones

As a selector, Kali ’s musical style fluctuates around trance-infused house,
high-speed techno stirred up with breaks and electro.
She started her journey as a DJ at queer parties in Budapest in 2013. She soon gained experience in organizing events, while she explored different venues with various party series, always striving to create a safe space for LGBTQI+ people in Budapest. Her mission has always been to reinforce the representation of queer people and womxn in the electronic music scene.

She was part of the technosexual party collective of OMOH ( @omohbp ) and since 2019 she’s a member of Persephone ( @persephoneparty ) a
Budapest-based queer feminist collaboration dedicated to showcase artists.

In the past years Kali had the chance to show her fast-forward style to the
audience in various venues and festivals. After playing in several clubs in
Budapest (Toldi, Lärm, Arzenal, Edith, Gólya, Easy) during the summer of 2023 she stepped on the magical stages of Daad, Ozora and Sziget festival. She had her debut abroad when she played at the Lecken-OMOH-Persephone party in Kake, Berlin right before the pandemic in 2019. She had the honor to heat up the dancefloor before JakoJako in Munich’s Harry Klein Club in 2022. And she was lucky enough to return to Zürich’s FLINTA parties organized by GLITBAQ, and also brought her positive energy to Innsbruck’s Arche Ahoi club in 2023.

I simply think that's what it sounds like

Gembix - Night Of Broken Glass

The sun peaks from through the windows.
It's earlier in the morning than you imagined.
But you keep moving.
