"SIRINGHE D'AMORE" GUEST MIX by SPOKI

Right when you thought the 80's had been mostly dug out, the "Night City Life" compilation hits the shelves. 
Ever since we heard his compilation for Spacetalk we were blown away: one of the best curations of early MIDI dancefloor/radio oriented productions we'd heard in a while. Truly refreshing to the human ear, not to mention the heavy research behind it. As such, we've wanted to book Ilan ever since but then COVID happened. Still a wet dream to see him do his thing live but for now here's this amazing bit of aural goodness to get you in the right mindset. 

Ilan is a London-based record collector. He can often be found posting the artwork of 80s vinyl from his collection on Instagram; a patchwork of nostalgia from musical days gone by.

Check him out on IG and listen carefully - your discogs wantlists will never be the same.

Hailing from Athens, @hara_katsiki brings a sophisticated sonic palette and perceptive ear to dance floors. Effortlessly sweeping you into the astral, Katsiki entwines her compelling cosmic selections with Italo, Cosmic Disco, Indie-Dance, New Beat, Techno, Synth-Wave and infatuating rarities. She is a member of the Berlin-based label Wrong Era Records, a sub-label from Slow Motion Records and a dependable force within Berlin’s revered scene, which she now calls home.  With regular slots at the formidable likes of Panorama bar, Renate, About Blank and KitKat Club, she is a strong figure within the nocturnal city and parties across the globe.
Hara is carrying – besides her extrasensory abilities – a Universal understanding about music and like a modern shaman, she is weaving a thread between sound and space-time creating a metagalactic cosmos, bringing a sophisticated sonic palette and perceptive ear to dancefloors.
With an impressive, multi-disciplinary past within the creative industries, the former model, stylist and art director channels her abundant passion into intuitive, sensational mixes. It is no mystery that aside from DJing, she is a Quantum Healer. It is clear that Hara delicately weaves this approach into her selections, presenting an enticing and alluring journey mindful of its surroundings.
Carefully chosen, warming gems fill her sets which lie within the realms of Balearic, Cosmic and Italo Disco. Katsiki explores the darker side of these genres but is not limited to them, driving you into an encapsulating ethereal experience. Powerful acoustic percussion, warm growling basslines and shimmering synths are a constant. With the gifted ability to take you on an interstellar journey through time and space, Hara Katsiki propels you into her starlit world.

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Wellll shiiiiiiiiit, look here, motherfucking Mosam Howieson is in the building. About time, you say? Yes, you’d be right to ask, but you’re asking the wrong question, more like, what is time? Don’t stress, it’s merely a measuring device that the entire human civilisation revolves around. Anyway, Mos is here to teach you a thing or two about time and what you can do with it. 

I’ve been lucky enough to know Mos for many years. A true gentleman in the game, forever polite and tremendously respectful. A man of many talents, and most revolve around providing for the people. A culinary cowboy by day and dance floor destroyer by night, his exceptional work ethic shining through in both forms. Mos’ production has slowly but surely infiltrated ears across the globe, labels worldwide have been picking up what Mos has been putting down, and we’re better off for it. Mos' live performances are a full-body experience, from ground-breaking ambient soundscapes to rafter-breaking post-primitive drum loops, something to add to that bucket list of yours, whilst waiting patiently for his new album coming out later this year.  For those of you that don’t know Mos, this is the perfect place to start. 

Following with the theme of time, I think Mos has completely encapsulated his existence on this earth through this mix. You can hear him in his different stages of life and all the soundtracks that came with it. From hovering over a tape deck recording tracks straight from the radio, getting up early watching video hits, burning CDs on friend's computers, weeklong mp3 downloads from lime wire riddled with viruses on the family computer, all the way up to the first-time he downloaded fruity loops and set himself on this path, it’s all here and we’ve been invited along for the ride. All of this music holds such a special place in my heart as I was on a parallel path of musical enlightenment (except my productions never made it past a 4x4 loop on a cracked version of fruity loops) a musical diary if you will, filled with ideas, aspirations, and heartache, complete with dogged ears, doodles and torn out pages. On behalf of the people listening, thank you Mos. 

Keep it as real as you can. X

My monthly radioshow "Balearic Disorder" recorded live on Radio 80000

Balearic Disorder Vol. 6

HAND Mix featuring Berlin's Hendrik Stein :) a few words from the rock himself: 
"I’m Hendrik Stein. A DJ and record collector from Berlin who’s been around since a while now. You might have seen me playing in one of the countless clubs of the city or know me from our Past Forward-Shows on Cashmere Radio or the Ciao Amore Baci Parties which I run with my partner in music and life Frinda di Lanco. 
After my recent excursions into lush ambient and balearic soundscapes during the pandemic years, I felt it’s time to record something more danceable and this is how this mix happened. Since the clubs reopened last year I had some chances to play some more electronic sets in some bigger venues and so I rediscovered some older Freestyle and Hip-House records, which I almost forgot about. After digging mostly meditative and laid-back organic stuff during the corona-years this was a quite relieving experience. So recently I developed some kind of obsession for more danceable Belgian and French synth-pop from the late 80’s and latin-infused House and Italo which really blew my mind. Bringing this together into a mix has been on my bucket list since quite a while and for some reason I always thought this might be a very good sound for the H.A.N.D.s mix series. In the end the recording session happened quite naturally and since I hadn’t prepared a playlist some Austro/German dance-obscurities"

Live recording of the first to last record played at Giant Steps on Sunday 12 February, 2023.

This sound system haunted our dreams, since they packed it up at Swan Wharf. Came with high hopes and open minds for our first Sunday at the Hackney Wick Baths. What started as a soulful afternoon selection escalated slowly into a rolling dance. A few asked since if it was recorded and - luckily - this time we got the sucker. 

If you were there, thanks for joining us and hope you enjoy the playback as much as we have. If you weren’t, hope you catch the glow of this wonderful setup. Blended with *ahem* human touch on 2 modified Technics and an ISO420 mixer, deeper into the night than we’d expected, under the shimmers of their famous mirrorball.

Featuring good friend Daniel aka SIRS (Sounds In Real Stereo) with a generous excursion titled "Anyone Rimini Mix". A dedicated jock who's clearly racked up the milage to understand the history of dancefloor logistics, SIRS takes this opportunity to focus on the opulent post-MIDI eras reigned by synths and drum machines - a truthful HiNRG and Italo-Disco composition of timeless material.  Completely solid, this is the workhorse bread and butter soundtrack of good days, can't go wrong. Good for mild exercise activities and not thinking too much - get yourself through the week, stay out of harm's way <3 @sirs-music

Look at us, finally uploading a mix.

We took a deep dive down to dubstation and retrieved some shiny pearls, some shimmering gold and some weird junk. 
Almost like Jesus got for his birthday!

Thank you everyone who visited our little fereinsession and thank you dubstation for having us. It was a blast!

This is the recording of @frinda_di_lanco and @hendrik_stein's  warmup for Bionda e Lupo's "La Deutsche Vita" record release party at Sameheads - a night which was special in every possible way. 

Since we were flattered by the invitation and love this heartwarming record, we took our chance and prepared our very own interpretation of "Gertalo". After years of digging mostly German and Italian Records but lacking proper occasions for playing these to an open-minded audience, this slot felt like a moment we have prepared since ages, without knowing it would ever happen. 
We're more than happy that there is a recording and Hendrik got back his keys and wallet. 

Thanks to @biondaelupo, @riccardisch and all the great dancers! This was a night to remember.
