Galactic Funk Podcast Series

We're very happy to welcome Nikolajev, a DJ and producer from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. He's someone we've been excited about for a while having seen him DJ in Amsterdam a few times always delivering his trademark brand of bone-shaking EBM, House, Acid, and everything in between. His diverse productions are described as "different internal dialogues; sometimes soundtracking a feeling reminiscent of lustful 80s synthwave, whilst also putting out diametrically opposed distressed and disjointed dancefloor hitters". These have been released on labels like Collect-Call, Incienso, Marguerite Records, PÄÄSTEVEST, with a recent contribution to Post Bar's VA from last year and an EP on Hangman Satellite. This selection can be best described as a collage "for the heads to nod" that focuses on music he's been sinking his teeth into in the last months. Lock in!

We're incredibly pleased to welcome Dissemblance to the GF series. She is a very talented and poetic artist that the entire GF team have been following for a while and had the pleasure of meeting in person at Intergalactic FM fest this year. You can check her lauded album “Centauresse” on the mighty L.I.E.S. records, following up her 2019 debut album "Over The Sand" for Mannequin Records. Her productions bring a variety of sounds and invite us to explore the full range of her musical dynamics, leading the listener into her universe where the border between dreams and reality blurs into one, with no tangible beginning or end. If you happen to be in Paris on Friday, December 8th, do not miss her Dissemblance Live at Petit Bain to enjoy the full experience. For the series, she has crafted a special session where she gives us a unique and magical mix out of her studio in Paris, incorporating exclusive vocals and Rhodes improvisations over 80 beautiful minutes of thoughtful and sensory music. She plays tracks from the 80s: Schleimer K, DZ Lectric & Anthon Shield, taking a funky turn with Girl Unit, to arrive to some dirty acid music by Beverly Hills 808303, ending with a solo rough Rhodes impro through the Moog Cluster Flux pedal. This mix is literally a special journey through a solid selection, poetic vocals and inventive jams. Don't take our word for it: Lock in!

The series rages on this week with none other than Randstad! He is a producer and DJ alias of multidisciplinary artist Thomas van Linge. Aside from his many killer releases on the likes of Veyl, Pinkman Body Musick and many others, he is also the co-founder of well known labels such as BAKK, RUBBER, and the PLAFOND series. Although he is well known for his electro and EBM compositions, his talent and acumen know no bounds with more recent releases colouring outside of these lines. He's assembled a weaponry of tehcno bangers for the GF series with tracks by Stranger, Fresko, Lenson, Anetha, Peder Mannerfelt, Oscar Mulero, Schwefelgelb, Manny Dee, and many other. Lock - IN!

We have Mowgli on the series this sunny autumn day. A true digger completely surrounded by vinyl during his Pinkman record store days, the Rotterdam-based selector is known for packing a crate with minimal wave, proto-EBM, unknown boogie and the noisier edges of Chicago house and early techno. Powered by Pontoon Bookings, he makes up regular appearances across the country including PIP, Blijdorp Festival, Poing, BIT, RadioRadio, Skatecafe & Weelde, and many others. With upcoming shows in Utrecht, Amsterdam and more, it's a perfect time to hear what to expect. Lock in for an hour plus of solid grooves expertly selected by Mowgli.

We continue the GF series this week with one of the pillars of the Dutch electro scene, none other than DJ Overdose. Hailing from The Hague and based in Rotterdam, his story starts in the eighties. His vision was to create a vibe “where the subs are devastating and the beats are raw". He underpins his work with booming Miami bass and draws on his love for 80s hip-hop to conjure up his signature style. He's etched his mark on deeply loved and respected labels such as L.I.E.S., Creme Organization, Bordello A Parigi, Pinkman, Viewlexx, Murder Capital, his own RotterHague, and many others. Famously dexterous in the booth, DJ Overdose has well-honed skills that make him able to tear up a larger stage or connect with a more intimate crowd. He graces this series with a two-and-a-half-hour live recording at the Down The Rabbit Hole festival. Lock in!'

The GF series is back this week with Ayshel. The young, Athens-based DJ is part of the Stegi Radio team and hosts her show CALL NOW for over four years. Her show features artists such as Pi Electronics resident Zorz, LVRIN, and others. When she's not playing Athens staples like Astron Bar, which sadly closed, she has been making the rounds at festivals like Healthy Summer Fest and others. Her selections are located somewhere between tribal beats, hypnotic melodies and industrial sounds. Her mix is no exception. Lock in for an hour from one of Athens' hottest up-and-coming DJs.
