axaxaxa #74 by DJ Margerita – Melancholic Hope

Besides being the culprit behind our funny status updates and instagram captions, DJ Margerita is also somewhat well versed in electronic music. For his resident mix he wants to showcase his full arsenal of hidden treasures. 

The mix can be seen as a potpourri of deep & hypnotic techno, ”boot to the mouth” disco, hard hitting house and even a bit of his new found - well for him at least - passion in minimal. Add all this with some breaky bits as the cherry on top and you get a sense of where this jolly old fellows taste lies.

Mixtapes #2: DJ Margerita 06/09/2021

For our #35 and prepare for Winter, we are heading up North, to Finland to host 2/4 of the Helsinki based collective Free Shelter (@Freeshelter).
DJ Margerita (@dj-margerita) and Aake Kivalo (@aakekivalo), in charge of the groups youtube channel (among other things),  have dusted off some of their favorite recent findings for an action packed guest mix. With the world slowly opening up, it felt only right to deep dive into more... krhm... party centered selections. 
While properly welcoming them in Paris on the dancefloors, you can still listen to them at home in your comfy socks.

MTT Podcast #35 by DJ Margerita & Aake Kivalo(Free Shelter)

Round four brings an ambient excursion courtesy of the Finnish Finisher Markus Hallsten, AKA DJ Margerita.

Extra cheese is a staple for Markus, and his record collection is equally as tasty. 1/4 of Helsinki based bad boys "Free Shelter", Markus has recorded some big mixes for crews along the way. His love for music all over meant it was an easy slot in, and this mix didn't disappoint.

Big ups Markus, SYITC.

The Helsinki based collective Free Shelter, consisting of Miro-Benji, Aake Kivalo, Aaron Maple and DJ Margerita, are mostly known for their edit releases (with support from every corner in the world) and their monthly radio show on IDA Radio. 
Their sound usually range from one extreme to the other. Whether it be the tackiest of guilty-pleasure disco to the rougher sounds of the spectrum in the form of photo-trance and modern breakbeat, they’re more than willing to take the task at their own hand. 
For this Discoteca Podcast mix, the quartet showcase the listener what a club night à la Free Shelter would be like…

Périgueux (Tour de Vésone ) x Helsinki(Kiasma museum)
The Free Shelter members Aake Kivalo and DJ Margerita showcase some of their favorite tunes at the moment. Filled with anything from guilty pleasure Latin Rap, wobbly downtempo trancey beats and harder pumping disco; The mix was recorded during a B2B night at the infamous Helsinki bar Jackie, and should give the listener a taste of what a beer infused night with these two at helm will entail.

Acting as one half of the 4 man line-up in the Helsinki based collective, Free Shelter; Aake Kivalo and DJ Margerita are known for doing sets that explores a wide arrange of soundscapes. Known for the uploads on the collectives own youtube channel, their selections can vary from heartbreaking italo and mood lifting disco to ”eyes rolling back, jaws fall open” house.

Pedal to the metal, and don’t look back.

DJ Margeritas guest mix for @hand-madedjs on EHFM.Live in Edinburgh 05.02.2021. 

Soulf lifting music; From downtempo, ambient House to feet-stomping Disco.

DJ Margerita @ EHFM.Live 05/02/2021

Free Shelter é um coletivo, uma label, um canal do Youtube (maravilhoso diga-se de passagem) e uma rádio formada pelos talentosos Miro-Benji, Aaron Maple, Aake Kivalo e DJ Margerita.

Diretamente da cena underground de Helsinki, na Finlândia, a crew amacia os nossos ouvidos com os seus famigerados edits que incluem uma pesquisa de sons exóticos totalmente abaixo do radar. 

O mix deles foi gravado exclusivamente para nós num dia chuvoso (e provavelmente bem gelado), e inclui diferentes gêneros, bem do jeitinho que a gente gosta!
