For this episode of Released Control, we are super excited to have a guest mix by NairLess, who is one of our favorite producers and selectors inspired by old school 90’s early trance, balearic and progressive house. The second hour with radio host Eclectic Elektra as always. Tune in for a 90 min blissful excursion of energetic and euphoric tunes of the 90s dance era.
Born in Vietnam, raised in France. NairLess is an assiduous producer, DJ, live performer and pianist. Before his electronic music journey, he studied and learnt to master the piano at the age of 4.
He moved on to electronic music in 2017 by starting the production of dreamy house music. He also integrated the collective “L’Appart Music” with which he had his first mixes.
In 2018, he co-founded the label “Aurore 404” which organized and still organizes parties in notorious Parisians clubs such as Nouveau Casino, NF-34 & Garage and released rising artists such as Gallegos and Pépé Elle and confirmed ones such as Ian Pooley.
In 2022, his music has evolved to fast paced but still smooth and hovering electronic music with a firm inspiration on old school 90’s early trance, balearic and progressive house.
He is currently released on labels such as Increase The Groove, Chikyu-u Records, Aurore 404, Nerang Recordings & Radiant Records.

@TaiLokun: “An end of summer warm up set in which I felt very free and thus allowed myself to let the tunes and style of playing reflect the warmth and relaxation I was feeling in the booth during the special Festimi x Club Celeste collab party ✨

KINETIKS, also known as Bente and Rozemarijn, came together in Utrecht, where they quickly discovered their shared passion for music. This encounter blossomed into a close musical partnership. With a wide-ranging taste in music, spanning from old to new, from Italo, disco, house/progressive to hard house and trance, they deliver surprising and energetic sets. Yet, it's not just their musical versatility that sets them apart; it's their ability to captivate every dance floor with their passion, enthusiasm, and boundless energy.

For this particular set, we want to showcase a more serious side of ourselves, while still incorporating our signature energetic and feminine influences that will naturally shine through.
Our inspiration comes from all sorts of places. I think it’s important to watch and learn from a wide variety of other DJs, also a great excuse to go out a lot! I can spend hours diving into the depths of the internet, hunting for new tracks. It’s great to have a partner in this, as it allows us to brainstorm and share ideas about what sounds cool from our latest discoveries.

BLVSHCast 130: KENZA

As days around the northern hemisphere are getting colder and darker and Covid rapidly is approaching for a second wave, there seems to be not a whole lot to brighten up our mood in rainy Berlin. There might not be a whole lot, but there is still our good old friend, our partner in crime, our glimpse of hope in uncertain times, our first true love: music.

For this month's podcast, we invited young Argentinian talent Morena Miceli aka Morphena.

Before moving to Berlin half a year ago, she was studying cinema in Buenos Aires, where she started host parties and play music for her friends or at small parties around the city. However, being passionate about music since she was a little girl, she decided to fully emerge herself into music production and deejaying. 

Once arriving in Berlin, she realized that this hobby could be something much bigger and found a deeper meaning for herself in Deejaying: providing service to a community that cannot live without going out for dancing and expressing itself  around likeminded people.

Being still at the very beginning of her career, still in the process of understanding which styles of music she likes the most, she already came to the conclusion that music is more about creating the right mood and a narrative around it, than pinning yourself on specific genres. 

Depending on the mood of the day her music varries from spaced out and emotional tunes, which can be in the form of 90's trance/rave music to italo disco and house. 

Only arriving in Berlin half a year ago, she already made some quite big steps:  being trained by the No Shade DJ mentoring program and taking part in a mentoring program for music production with Open Music Lab. Her ambitions to make more out of music than it being a hobby also are reflected in her releases on Encaje records (Arg), OML (Berlin) and the upcoming one on Raiders (Berlin), which is about to come out in a week from now and is ready for pre-order.

For our Loser Records podcast series, Morphena's intention was to create a lush and emotional vibe, mixing cosmic house tunes with some dark italo.

We hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we do and wish Morphena all the best for her promising future.
