art:cast °126 | Baldo

With a handful of own labels, as one half of Subwax Distribution and as an artist himself, Barcelona-based Baldo Gallego or short Baldo has been shaping and influencing as well as contributing and giving his all to the electronic music scene for more than a decade. Shortly Baldo released music on Gerd Janson’s label Running Back and on STEP Recordings, after a hiatus of more than year due to the pandemic. Now the passionate artist is back, refreshed and inspired to hit the scene with more music be it due the (at least partly) opened clubs or other circumstances like Baldo’s not so cheesy but sweet morning addictions. However, overtime working Baldo found the time to speak with Torture the Artist about his jobs, that do not feel like work, his artistically directions, his latest releases and where we can find him socializing secludedly from the clubs. Additionally, Baldo mixed and compiled the latest and last art:cast of a fulminant year including music freshly and soon to be released music.

Instore Session w/ DVDE

Dr Banana is a name that commands a lot of respect in certain corners of the dance music world. The man has his Ph.D in record digging—not literally, mind you, but play along—and key to his success is the sense of fun, joy and ecstasy he brings to his DJing. UK garage historian? Sure. Blinding DJ? Definitely. He likes to play records you've never heard before, records that not only make you dance but might remind you of some of your favourite, formative records of yore.

The UK artist started out with a fashion line and some records and ended up an influential label boss, collector and DJ. He made his name with skippy, retro UK garage—sometimes from new producers and sometimes unearthed from the archives—and nicely coincided with the genre's explosion in popularity. Since then, he's highlighted everything from old-school German garage to new-school producers like K-LONE. His DJ sets have only become more adventurous and, crucially, even more bumping. Jungle, R&B, tech house, you name it. His RA Podcast zeroes in on a vintage-sounding, rollicking kind of house music, full of seismic disco basslines and quirky vocal samples. It's as celebratory as it is mysterious.

Once, Dr Banana was a not so well-kept secret for the heads—the kids in Berlin and London who were starting to realize the similarities between UK garage, minimal and tech house. Now, he's for everyone, and starting to earn the wider recognition he deserves.

Welcome to the kickoff of my DediCast series! This is where I spotlight the incredibly talented producer/artist friends in my network, whom I consider to be exceptionally skilled. In each installment, I’ll dedicate an entire mix exclusively to their outstanding productions. Get ready for a musical journey celebrating their creativity and prowess.

Introducing Snad, also known as Spandrel, a prominent figure in the circles frequented around Club der Visionaere on warm summer afternoons. Splitting his time between Berlin and Philadelphia, Snad has etched his name in the scene, boasting 12-inch releases on European labels like Phonica, 20/20 Vision Minibar and Pleasure Zone. Despite his European ventures, he stays true to his roots, showcasing his US influence with records on Chez Damier’s Courtesy Of Balance Recordings.

Considered a rising star in the forecasted full on mnml revival, his sonic creations reflects the delicate weave of experiences gathered from his time in Chicago, Goa, and Berlin. Beyond geographical boundaries, Snad’s evolving ties to the Indian Underground position him as a significant player within enlightened circles. These circles, still traversing the Silk Roads, take their underground culture seriously, irrespective of their global location. Keep an ear out for Snad’s continual musical journey.
