Hello from sunny Indonesia! ☀️

 I kind of forgot to post this ‘little’ episode of The Darker Side of Disco, since I was busy packing for my family trip (we’re traveling around Asia for 2.5 months). I was actually debating whether to post it at all, since this was meant to be my annual ‘year mix’ for 2024—and, well, we’re already in February.

 But hey, it’s over 6 hours of quality tunes that I vibed with the most over the past year, and I love having them all compiled into one smooth mix to archive those bangers. Even if it only hits the right note with one or two of you, I’ll be more than happy.
 
So, for those brave enough to embark on this 6-hour journey: enjoy. And if you prefer shorter episodes—don’t worry! A brand new episode of The Darker Side of Disco is coming up soon, so stay tuned! 🎶✨

The Darker Side Of Disco Yearmix 2024

Mein erstes Set in 2025, wie ich finde eines der rundesten Sets der letzen Jahre. Viel Spaß beim Hören

New radio show incoming – https://soundcloud.com/RSS in the building! These guys are disco royalty, holding it down in Hamburg’s scene for ages while still keeping it fresh. They’ve got that rare mix of underground instincts and big-stage finesse, always with a slick pop touch but never losing their edge. Expect a colorful, hypnotic blend of disco and house, exactly the kind of vibe trip only RSS Disco can deliver. Pure gold. Psyched to have them on Riotvan finally. Big love & endless thanks!

It’s not easy ploughing a furrow that ain’t already been ploughed in dance music, but Tim Paris makes it look easy.  Nestling somewhere between the sideways slant of a sepia Sunday morning and the electrostatic seduction of a Saturday night, Tim has carved out a cultural niche that is his, and his alone. 

Through his label Marketing Music, Tim has spent years pushing out some of the most distinctive and unconventional house records around. His long-standing collaboration with Ivan Smagghe as It’s a Fine Line is a testament to his ongoing hunt for the unexpected – always a step away from the obvious.

His own productions stretch from the fiercely original (It’s a Fine Line – Woman) to the beautifully restrained (Outback, Stones & Vinyl), and his remixes – for the likes of Metronomy, Polo & Pan, The XX, Silicone Soul, Salif Keita, and Telepopmusik – show a producer who never plays it safe.

Off the dancefloor, he’s made just as much noise: over 50 international performances with Belgian choreographer Nicolas Musin, plus work for France TV, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and the Philharmonie de Paris have all borne his unmistakable sonic fingerprint.

Now, Tim’s back with a new solo release on Live at Robert Johnson – That Boy. A return to the club, yes, but also a reflection of everything he’s soaked up along the way. Rough-edged, refined, and unmistakably Tim Paris.

Listen to "Selección Dura" by Enzio Etchaberri, It’s an extract from a set he played in KitKat for Disco Bizarre, recorded in this legendary fetish club. The theme was raunchy dungeon disco sex party. And yes, people where sweating and having lots of sex ;) Hope you like it.

@etcha-1 is a Dutch born Berlin-based DJ and producer. He is continually in search of the magic that happens when place, time, people and music align. His style is a mixture of house, electro and electronic disco. With equal focus on body and mind. Since moving to Berlin he has gathered valuable experiences in a variety of scenarios. Equally comfortable in both club and festival settings. Constantly testing his ethos, ‘If you have people on their toes, it’s easier for them to dance too.

Vol. 24 comes from our dear friend Roel (Beum). A few words from the artist:

Exploring a sound and a vibe which has been on my mind for a while now. You could call it Down/Up Tempo as it could simultaneously be 100/200 bpm with the right mindset. A mix of off kilter slow burners inspired by UK bass, dancehall, dub, dembow and other adjacent subgenres.

La Fille is a French-born DJ whose sets blend sensuality, nostalgia, and rhythm into something deeply personal and unforgettable. She played her first records in Montreal over two decades ago, but it’s in Berlin’s underground that she shaped her identity — one timeless groove at a time.

With a decade of appearances across clubs like Prince Charles, Griessmuehle, OXI and secret late-night raves, her journey has been intuitive rather than linear — always driven by feeling, not formula. Her sound glides between soulful house, cosmic disco, italo, and feel-good classics, with surprise flashes of French house and hip hop woven in like memory triggers on the dancefloor.

A La Fille set isn’t just music — it’s mood, movement, and moment. Designed for those who dance with heart, and love their beats with a touch of poetry.

Whether you catch her closing a sweaty backroom or soundtracking a golden hour rooftop, one thing’s for sure:
You’ll feel something. And you’ll want more.
