Like a summer wind Sandra Stein alias Frinda Di Lanco goes about her craft : Sometimes soft with glimpses of blissful days at the shore – other times as a refreshing breeze pushing away clouds and pulling at your limbs to get you moving; and in some cases just straight raising the roof to a point where the shingles go flying.

These cosmically imbued gusts carried her name onto many line-ups alongside the grands of the scene and to venues beloved: sharing the decks with names like Beppe Loda, Budino, Franz Scala and Johannes Albert and casting aside the drapes of the everyday at Primavera Sound, Fusion Festival, Berlin’s infamous"Cocktail d’Amore“ party, the "Warning“ installments at "about blank" and places as far as Krakow, Sofia, Beijing and Tokyo.

Her carefully selected sets gathered from backyards, basements, and record store back rooms from Lisbon to Beijing and Oslo to Palermo – wherever she and her partner in life, crime and business are carried to on their digging odysseys – range from oddball disco, funk and library to italo, wave and new beat with detours into tribal and trance – taking you onto a wild trip where even the most seasoned dance-averse will be blown onto the dance floor.

Besides stirring up crowds her love for music and vinyl can be seen and heard – and bought –  all over Germany’s capital and the aether of the world wide web. She hosts a well-curated radio show by the name of "Music From Mullets“ with guest appearances by Donna Leake, CV Vision or Arsenii (check his dope mix for LYO if you can). Additionally beloved outlets such as Amsterdam's Bordello Radio, Hysteric's Mothball FM, Mr. Bongo Record Club, Refuge Worldwide and Berlin’s experimental Cashmere Radio carried Frinda’s explorations into music apart from the dance floor out to the world.

Her party series "Ciao Amore Baci“ dedicated to vibrant Italian disco gems and featuring reknown and up-coming local DJs has become a welcome alternative for the disco-orientated Berlin nightlife longing to move to sounds apart the beaten track. 

On top of that Frinda di Lanco and her partner Hendrik Stein founded their record label / store "Avec Plaisir“ selling and releasing hand-picked rarities since 2020 – working with the likes of cosmic legend DJ Stefan Egger as well as digging private press record releases from the 1970's to 90's.

@milloskaiser provides us with a very special Smoke mix consisting of Brazilian reggae, focused on very rare 80's and 90's  gems.

Millos’ dedication to unearthing and celebrating the incredibly rich and diverse music of his native Brazil is at the heart of everything he does and this mix is a perfect example <3

✨ vinyl only mix✨  

For edition 69 of our guest mix series, we welcome once again London-based record collector Ilan (Night City Life). A true Italo enthusiast, Ilan curated Night City Life (@spacetalkmusic), one of our favourite compilations of 2019. Night City Life II will be dropping this summer (and we can’t wait 🎷)

As a DJ his selections are always rich with nostalgia and emotion, taking us on a journey through time and sound. Here is a recording of his vinyl-only set from Flow Festival last year; an Italo-tinged expedition in the Helsinki sunshine.

One of house music's true originals, Maurice Fulton, graces the RA Podcast with a mix that connects the dots between soul and experimental electronics.

RA.021 Maurice Fulton

Following last years acclaimed Curse of Soft Rocks album, we're invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. The tracklisting follows its predecessor verbatim, however every track is re-contextualized so wildly that we're left with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. The personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of Soft Rocks, and furthermore the ESP Institute. At the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen.
