After an inspiring festival season debuting our Truffle101 showcases around Europe we would like to share a 3 hour cut from our 6 hour b2b2b journey in the Sicilian forest at the foothills of Mt. Etna back in August. The first of many explorations as Lazy Susan (2StepBec, Oliver.r, Zeus) 🌋 

Lots of love to our Opera Festival family for inviting and taking care of us on that special weekend ❤️

Another b2b on the series by Anaïs and Oscar - the talented couple and duo who own one of Europe's finest record shops, soundcloud.com/legramvg

They claim to have listened to MMSU (whilst working in the store) more than anyone else. Maybe they are right, cos they nailed it.

An hour of laidback selections from Rustam.  While he is often heard in Kyiv's Closer, we heard him play at the unforgettable Zorepad Festival near Lviv in August and instantly asked him for a contribution to the Drum Syrup series.

DRUM SYRUP PODCAST 20 - RUSTAM

Closer residents Karine and Shakolin have made a name for themselves off the back of a seemingly bottomless pit of interesting underground records. This mix is completely on-brand; a patient blend of moody electronics across the club continuum, put together with the confidence of a couple of seasoned selectors.

It's a true pleasure to host Karine & Shakolin this week. Resident's of legendary Ukrainian institute Closer the pairs consistently excellent output has been prolific of late, with mixes for Faciendo and Banana Box showcasing their knack for unearthing weird and wonderful gems. In DIM306, you'll hear a recording of a Ukrainian public radio broadcast from their youth before the podcast beautifully unfurls over nearly two hours.

Running Hot is producer and DJ Mark Newman. He discovered rave when he was 13 via a tape from his mate at school which has led to a lifelong love affair. He is is orignally from South Wales and now resides in Berlin running with the Love On The Rocks crew... This mix is based on his love of Italo-house. It's a nice one... Enjoy.

"I recorded this one in the middle of another frosty and grey morning in Berlin so I wanted to try and conjure up some of the spirit of summer. I’d had the idea for a while to try and do a mix with a lot of very pitched down Italo-house stuff so that it almost starts to sound a bit like kwaito and has a nice laid back feel… So here it is! Hope you enjoy!"

BinarySound resident and Paris native, Samovar’s particular take on the house sound shines through in this recording - a welcome journey through the quirky, obscure records that frequent his bag.

@noizar's sound goes far beyond conventional house or techno. The Ukrainian DJ, who is now based in Amsterdam, has long since proven this with countless closing sets as resident at Kyiv’s legendary Closer club. It was there where he stood out for unearthing minimal techno treasures in places no one else looks. As such, you can always be sure that wherever Noizar mixes crop up online, they will be flooded with cheeky "ID?" requests, and quite often you will find they come on his vinyl-only Wicked Bass label.

For his Dekmantel Mix he offers a perfect snapshot of what he does in the booth: carefully dug out delights that don't really fit in usual categories. But they do tap into a specific deepness and groove that is rooted in Kyiv's minimal scene and the dance floor of Closer club. It results in a tight, taught hour of body music that perfectly balances function and form.

Shakolin is next up on the MASS podcast! We’re honoured to welcome the tasteful Ukrainian selector to the series with this serene, flow-state hour of mixing.

Deeply rooted in Kyiv’s Closer club and now based in Berlin, Shakolin carries the spirit of one of electronic music’s most revered institutions wherever he plays. His selections blend old and new into something groovy, deep, and unpredictable, always guided by a keen ear and instinct for the dancefloor.

This mix is a testament to his craft, tune in and enjoy!

They called it a ‘colorful techno daydream’ and I wouldn’t say better — I was trying to stay away from black this time and make a soft-gliding atlas of muted tones and shifting light. Thank you, EOS radio, for the invitation!

Released on my own label, With A Little Help Of A Friend Records, this concept EP was created entirely from my bicycle using AI. Inspired by cycling around the world, the motion, rhythm, and atmosphere of the journey are captured throughout the tracks. The culture of cycling—from the 90s to today—served as a major muse, merged with electronic sounds influenced by many of my favorite musicians. The result is a fusion of inspirations reflecting both the landscapes traveled and the evolving sonic ideas along the way.
