Bside Incoming: Estimulo

We’re delighted to touch back down in Berlin to hear from one of the city’s most stalwart deep-house supporters. A two-hour exploration into the collection of a man searching for the soul in all things electronic music. We give the warmest of welcomes to Esti, known widely as Estimulo.

@estimulo

Esti’s entry into music was one of intense curiosity: chopping up radio recordings from a young age and assorting them into mock radio shows of his own. Borne from an unquenchable thirst for groovy electronic sounds, and after becoming infatuated by “The Big Beat on Fridays”, a radio show active in 1988, he set upon a quest to collect as many house records as possible. This emphatic drive led to his dabbling with pirate FM radio in 1990, when finally, Esti could broadcast the sounds he loved with his neighbourhood. Though sadly, his childhood dream was cut short by the authorities soon after...

Esti, however undeterred, soldiered on with a smile, and the spoils of his devotion are evident in the thirty years that have elapsed since then. He now operates a long-standing record label and internet-radio show, Mixomat Recordings and the EstimuloShow respectively, and has performed in some of the most revered institutions in Europe: namely Tresor, Berghain and ADE. These such outings have also led to performances alongside esteemed acolytes like Gerd Janson, Fantastic Man, Shed and I-F. 

For someone with such a colourful career in electronic music, you’d expect his early influences and musical ventures to reflect in his Bside episode, and they certainly do. Staying true to his innate connection with deep electronic sounds, Esti guides us through curious downbeat IDM, emotive house and Italo, woozy two-step, and juddering, euphoric breaks. Proving to us that he can indeed find the soul in everything.

Couldn't be more thrilled to release this beauty of a mix from our dear friend, John (aka Sabo Tabby / @jonnierox) 💙 

An artist of many aliases, you may know John as DJ 906, half of Pan Gia, or half of Handle (@handlesoundsystem). No matter the moniker, John's gentle nature and deep love of music intertwine to produce something very special.

This mix starts out mega chill and builds into some juicy techy vibes - perfect to soundtrack your drive to Inner Varnika, or maybe your getting up before work, or any other time you need energising :) 

Thanks Sabo Tabby/John for this beautiful two hours. 
Viva la revolution 💙

80s UK House Mix by Tom Carruthers

Léa Baldazza ( @lsuper ) delivers a mix in the form of an astrological study of people with a Lune en Poisson — or Pisces Moon — in their natal chart.

If this is your case, then "music plays an important role in your life, as you are instinctively drawn to melodies. It helps you express your emotions, which are sometimes vague or nebulous".

A progressive selection that evokes gentleness and tenderness, takes its time, and speaks to us of a melancholy look at the past. The podcast offers intense, sometimes cheesy sentiments, but which underline the romantic aspect, with just the right amount of sensitivity, of a Pisces Moon person.

Enjoy.
