🔥 Fire in the Sand – Afro Beats by Nexus

Fire in the Sand ignites with the vibrant pulse of Afro beats — a rhythmic fusion of tribal percussion, deep basslines, and sun-drenched melodies. 🌍✨ Nexus blends modern groove with traditional energy, creating a sound that feels both global and deeply soulful.

Each track moves like a heartbeat under the desert sun — bold, rhythmic, and full of life. Perfect for dancing, summer nights, or simply letting the rhythm take over. ☀️💃🏽

If you ask dance music enthusiasts around Melbourne who is one of the city’s most favourite DJs, you can bet on it that the name of Retza would pop up consistently. Not only is he great DJ, but he is a damn fine producer whose rap sheet includes international labels like All Day I Dream and Watergate. 

Earlier this year, he once again lit up the decks at Pitch Music & Arts festival with a set that many said was one of their favourites from the festival. If you missed it then don’t sweat it, Retza has been kind enough to finally release it for our next Novelcast. What a legend.

3 QUESTIONS to MATHIAS SCHOBER:

Q: Talking about your mix: How did these tracks shape your career, had an influence on your career? 

A: I'm not quite sure in what sense these tracks in the mix shaped my career but the most definitely influenced me in my early DJ years. I remember doing our first House parties where I DJ'd and so-called Cosmic Music was quite something for me back then. DJing for friends and friends of friends was something I enjoyed and then led to the next thing quickly which was music production. Thinking about it maybe these tracks even left some marks on my production and sense of sound design as I'm always aiming towards a more organic sounds a bit like a sampled sound aesthetic without being sampled.

Q: Do you still play some of those tracks in your current DJ sets? 

A: Not really to be honest but I've found a lot more as I was digging through the crates and will eventually start to implement them in my sets again.

Q: Which future Schober projects are on the way? 

A: I'm constantly working on music yet this year been a bit slow with releases. I have a few remixes finished, a new EP lined up and some more fun collaborations are underway - because I don't already have enough collabs. With my mixing work it sometimes feels I'm releasing an EP every other week although I'm not. So I gotta get my head around this and force myself to finish more of my own tracks.
