Copy of Realms W/GoneWest on DIFM - Episode 13

Welcome to Il Modo's 44th Exclusive Series mix.  This month (April 2025) we are pleased to bring back a previous contributor to our Progcast series ~ Markus Saarlånder. 

Markus Saarländer exemplifies and expands one of the main roles of the DJ: bringing beautiful music to those who love it. He does this not only through his DJ sets, but through his renowned Berlin - Brighton events in Brighton, and most recently with his new label Dino Audio and regular radio shows.

Having played around the UK, Europe, and the beaches of Ibiza, he established a home in Brighton, which led to residencies for Hed Kandi, as well as almost all well-known club venues in the city, boat parties, pop-up events and more.  

Markus is the founder of Berlin-Brighton, a Berlin style underground club night that has been making waves for the last 10 years. With queues down the street and full venues for every party, Berlin has established itself as one Brighton’s most popular underground music events bringing some of the biggest names in electronic music to the city. 

Berlin has enjoyed a successful radio show on Codesouth.FM for the whole of 2016 before moving over to Trickstar Radio in January 2017. In July 2020 the show moved to the popular and much loved station 1BTN. Markus also has a monthly show called Rainbow Frequencies on NYC station Frisky Radio (since 2018), which airs every second Monday of the month at 9pm UK time.

Spending his early DJ years in the North West of England playing Progressive House and House in and around Manchester, Markus extended his portfolio with gigs elsewhere in the UK and Europe, Markus quickly got onto the circuit with a residency for Zoo at Hed Kandi and has now played at every well-known club and bar venue in the city. Markus has been featured in multiple magazines and articles and  numerous guest mixes.

Other highlights have included support at the Arch for Groove Armada, Booka Shade and John 00 Fleming's JOOF Editions shows. In addition, Markus has shared the stage and warmed up for some of the biggest names in the business such as Sasha, John Digweed, Timo Maas, Tiefschwarz, Leftfield, Danny Rampling, Einmusik, Rebekah,Juliet Fox, Dave Seaman, Thomas Schumacher, Emanuel Satie, Jonas Saalbach and many more.

2023 saw the release of Markus’ first release with good friend NOLAN formerly Timo Garcia. The release received the remix treatment from label heads Framewerk who added their own breaks and intro mixes to the EP. The release was featured in John Digweed’s Transition shows amongst many others.

Markus organises and curates a hugely popular guest mix and interview series. As
well as the Events and Radio Shows, Berlin has also collaborated with many artists by delivering a popular Guest Mix Series. The series focuses on letting artists do their thing. 

Artists that Markus has worked with so far include Timo Maas, Thomas
Schumacher, Teenage Mutants, Alex Stein, Dave Seaman, Dilby, Phonique, Transcode, Jonas Saalbach, Beth Lydi, Kellerkind, Daniel Steinberg, Kristin Velvet, AGENT!, Robosonic and many more.

Not only that, in order to showcase local talent he also launched the Brighton
Mixtape Series, which features Brighton artists that are established as well as up and coming.

Dino Audio is Markus's label founded a couple of years ago to add some fun into the music industry by combining great quality music with dinosaurs! The label has had some great releases so far with top support right from the start. Almost all EPs have charted in various Beatport charts and were also featured in many DJ sets from top artists including tracks played at Mixmag the Lab NYC, Burning Man, various other club nights, festivals, guest mixes and radio shows.

Tracklist

Zehv Live w/ Guy J @ Brooklyn Warehouse, NY | 5.21.25

Cortona, the alias of UK/Italy-based producer Enzo, channels decades of eclectic listening into atmospheric, groove-heavy club tracks. A formative night seeing Primal Scream with Andrew Weatherall lit the fuse for his dive into electronic music, eventually leading him to become a founding proponent of Plastic Fantastic—one of the scene’s most influential progressive house labels. That legacy pulses through Cortona’s work, with his recent releases finding homes on imprints ranging from Bedrock to Music To Die For.

On this Balance Selections, Cortona balances analog nostalgia with modern fluidity. Featuring tracks from Mike Rish, Jamie Stevens, and Hermanez, this nearly three-hour mix leans into nocturnal energy to deliver a vintage progressive punch, weaving deep builds and emotive peaks into a seamless late-night journey.

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW

Dia duit gach duine! Yes, greetings from the Emerald Isle, as we welcome you back to our infamous Progcast. Each week, we roam around Planet Progressive on the search for the best and most exclusive DJ sets we can find. 

No travelling is necessary today as we delve into Dublin's rich and extensive clubbing history once more. A fervent supporter of everything we do here, our guest today has done it all and is now back behind the decks garnering more support as he relaunches. Make some noise for Dave Harbourne!

Hailing from Dublins underground scene, Dave is a DJ with decades of experience. 
He bought his first set of decks at just 15, and started playing house parties. He soon became  a regular DJ on Dublin's pirate radio scene that emerged during the  1990s/2000's.

Having grown up immersed in the golden era of '90s  Dublin club culture, Dave developed a deep appreciation for storytelling through music. Whether it’s an organic sunrise set or a late-night slot in a packed venue, Dave brings the same energy to all of his DJ sets. His style has moved towards a more Progressive house sound, but he still finds the time to relive that golden era of the 1990s on a regular basis.

After a 10 year hiatus from the decks, Dave picked up the headphones again in 2020,  and now has a regular slot on Phever radio in Dublin, playing twice monthly on Tuesdays 8-10pm. Dave can be found playing regularly at pop-up gigs in the capital, and around the country too! Follow him on Instagram to catch up with regular gig updates.

My opening set for the legend himself that is Guy J - 07.06.25

Live @Mareah presents Guy J (Opening set) Dublin, June 2025

Roger Martinez is a distinctive voice in electronic music, known for deep, progressive trance-influenced DJ sets and detailed productions. Shaped by Amsterdam’s club scene in the late ’90s and early 2000s,  his long-form sets often move across genres, using 4-deck mixing to build cohesive, evolving journeys.

With releases from Lost & Found to Sudbeat and Plattenbank, Martinez continues to explore subtle textures and rhythmic depth, an intention you can hear clearly on his own Higher States imprint.

On this Balance Selections mix, Martinez flexes with an impressive 90-minutes ride through forward-thinking prog. Featuring tracks from Maze28, Amháin & EMPHI and Dowden & Mazayr, this is a hypnotic drift worth surrendering to.
