Mixes

'The saying partners in crime gets told often, but rarely is it as applicable as with Aaron Maple and Miro-Benji. Known around the underground scene in Helsinki, with gigs at every spot available, and as members of the local collective Free Shelter, they’ve crafted their own unique symbiosis through a shared passion and most importantly friendship.'

Bordello Radio #77 - Miro-Benji & Aaron Maple

Isle of Wax 015 is brought to you by the Helsinki-based label and collective @freeshelter, notable for their growing catalogue of edits and releases that have made their way through the DJ circuit over the past few years. Regardless of genre, Free Shelter are constantly on the lookout for obscure sounds from the underground, which is showcased here in this heroic 2 hour and 20 minute mix of mellow downtempo, cosmic chuggers, and club weapons.

Do enjoy.

„Mokyklos suole naršydamas per nespalvoto telefono WAP naršyklę akis vis kliūdavo už paslaptingo renginio "Minimal Mondays". Smalsumo vedamas netrukus pradėjau jame lankytis. Galiausiai prisijungiau prie minimal.lt komandos, su kuria keliauju jau 10 metų. Minimal Mondays buvo tas renginys, kuriame debiutavau kaip DJ’us. Dėkoju komandai už sutiktus žmones, išgirstą muziką, aplankytas vietas ir neįtikėtinas istorijas. Linkiu pagaliau šiam renginiui patekti į UNESCO paveldo sąrašą.” — pasakoja Karolis Urbonas. Kartu su juo Minimal Mondays 19 gimtadienį švęsime jau rytoj: bit.ly/minimalmondays19

"While browsing through the WAP browser on my non-colored phone in the school hallway, my eyes stumbled upon the mysterious event called "Minimal Mondays." Curiosity led me to start attending it soon after. Eventually, I joined the minimal.lt team and have been traveling with them for 10 years now. Minimal Mondays was the event where I debuted as a DJ. I thank the team for the people I met, the music I heard, the places I visited, and the incredible stories. I hope that this event will finally be included in the UNESCO World Heritage list." - Karolis Urbonas remembers the good old days as we celebrate Minimal Mondays' birthday tomorrow: bit.ly/minimalmondays19

Prepare yourself for an electrifying journey as we present an upcoming mix featuring the sonic wizardry of MR TC. Known for his mastery of blending electronic genres, MR TC takes listeners on an auditory odyssey that transcends the boundaries of conventional music. @mrtcmusic

Hailing from the dynamic world of underground electronic music, MR TC's signature sound weaves together elements of techno, industrial, new wave, and post-punk. This eclectic fusion results in a captivating mix that is both hypnotic and energizing, drawing listeners into a whirlwind of sound and emotion.

Each track in the mix is meticulously curated and blended, showcasing MR TC's ability to create a seamless and immersive experience that transports listeners to new realms of sonic exploration. As a respected producer and DJ, MR TC has already made a mark on the electronic music scene with his innovative approach and passion for pushing the boundaries of sound.

The 1981 DMC DeLorean is an iconic sports car manufactured by the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) between 1981 and 1983. It was the only model produced by the company, and around 9,000 units were built during its short production run. The DeLorean is perhaps best known for its distinctive appearance and its role as the time machine in the popular "Back to the Future" film trilogy.

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DMC DeLorean features a stainless steel body and gull-wing doors, making it easily recognizable and visually striking. The car was built on a Lotus-developed chassis and equipped with a rear-mounted 2.85-liter V6 engine, which was a collaboration between Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo (known as the PRV engine). The DeLorean had a 5-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic transmission.

Although the DeLorean's performance did not quite match its sporty appearance, with modest acceleration and top speed, it remains a symbol of 1980s automotive design and popular culture. The 1981 DMC DeLorean's futuristic look and association with time travel make it a fitting choice for MR TC's mix, reflecting the artist's innovative approach to music and boundary-pushing style.

Thank you, dear MR TC.
