"Welcome to Zoukous pt. 6" by Miia Laine

LAVI #3 - BoogzBrown @orokoradio - MOROCCO PART1

LAVI #4 - BoogzBrown @Orokoradio - REUNION ISLAND PART 1

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.

New  mix by paris based Geneva ! 

Latvian-born Eugenie aka @__geneva._ is a DJ and music curator known for her sensual, genre-blending sets that effortlessly combine hypnotic downtempo, leftfield electronica, and progressive house. Formerly a creative director she left the corporate world to fully embrace her deep-rooted passion for music — and has since emerged as a distinctive voice in the European electronic scene.

She's resident at Fauve Radio and co-organizer of a series of curated, offbeat parties in France, where she showcases both local and international talent. Her sound is defined by emotional storytelling, playful irony, and a nostalgic nod to the late 90's and early 2000's — always delivered with a sleek, seductive edge.

Geneva is also the creator and host of ONS (One Night Stand), a podcast series exploring themes of eroticism and sensuality in music. Through ONS, she delves into the emotional and physical language of sound, crafting immersive listening experiences that go far beyond the dance floor.

With a growing presence across European venues, radio platforms, and underground parties, Geneva continues to push boundaries with a style that’s both intelligent and unapologetically intimate.
Enjoy this great mix!

Trujilo's Mix September 2025

Veikan vaiva: Helsingissä ei ole käytännössä juurikaan vuokrasäätelyä, toisin kuin monissa Euroopan pääkaupungeissa. Vuokrasäätely yksinään ei ole avain onneen, mutta kaupunki voisi tehdä paljon enemmän tehdäkseen asumisesta halvempaa ja julkisomisteisista taloista haluttavia kaikille.

Pontuksen kuuluminen: Medianostoissa suomalaiset jäänmurtajat ja suomalaiset muutenkin ovat hyviä. Suhteemme Yhdysvaltoihinkin ovat erinomaiset ja se on tärkeää. Valitettavasti suomalaiset eivät kuitenkaan osaa enää järjestäytyä ja siksi leikkaaminen on helppoa.

Pontuksen vaiva: Mikä meitä vaivaa? -Instagramissa tuli kolme palautetta podcastin setäytymisestä. Kuka on setä ja mitä on setäytyminen? Entä onko hyvä vai huono asia, jos putoaa oman aikansa kelkasta?
