March show up with a special guest mix from Reva Zenith, who you'll often find behind the counter of Killacutz here in Amsterdam. Quite clear from listening to this he's been saving all the bangers that come into the shop for himself. ;) 

2nd Hour is some 4/4 Garage from our Danny - it starts with George Michael's Outside which is cruel in the circumstances but we're done being nice x

@thara-bergen steps up this month with 2 hours of cheeky rollers that'll get the wrists in the air. Let loose.

1020 Radio w/ Thara Bergen (22nd November 2021)

This month's show was a big 2 hours from Twisk (@twisted_light) - potentially the nicest person in the Rotterdam dance scene. Ain't nothing sweet about this two hours though -  the toughest and the roughest tunes around. Trance, techno, breakbeats. Peak time fodder. Can’t beat it.

1020 Radio w/ Twisk (28th February 2022)

Seb's strictly Locked On mix

Is there any scene worldwide doing it better than Helsinki right now? Effortlessly cool and oozing class with everything they do, the Finns have put themselves firmly on the world map as a hotbed of electronic music finesse. 

So we're proper excited to welcome Helsinki's DJ Aleksi to our mix series! 

A familiar face around Kaiku, Ääniwalli, Post Bar and many more of the city's underground joints, plus a festival favourite from Flow to Solstice, he's a silky smooth operator that knows how to get a floor moving from open to close.

And he's put all of that nous into 80 mins of psychedelic chug that's right in the sweet spot of club music and home listening. Drop in!

Hidden Rooms Mix Series || DJ Aleksi

For June's show the boys have dusted off a personal recording we've been holding onto from earlier this year. A steady late-night session of eerie dub techno and hazy builders, perfect for a bout of weary-eyed insomnia.

As subtle and well blended as this photoshop.

This month Hidden Rooms are delighted to have writer, DJ and runner @kat91199 guesting with an hour-long journey through beatless dreaminess, chewed up breaks and glimmery trudge. A reminder that sometimes getting lost in the mix is a marathon, not a sprint. 

Can you see what we’ve done there?

... It’s been a long summer.

Tune in, turn off.

Whether its warming up Dekmental, playing side by side on a sunny day with @worldwideunlimited, closing our little party, or slamming it out at De School last weekend - Nèna's drum-led sound, meandering between techno, reggaeton & kuduro is unmistakable. 

So we are super pleased to have one of our favourite artists @astro-nena share with us an hour from her busy ADE weekend. Warming up for @overmono in Amsterdam's famous Paradiso - a 19th-century church squatted by hippies back in the 60s. So yeah - Turn on, tune in, and drop out 🥁✌️😊🌻🌈✌️
