Crack Mix 584: Christian AB

Maximalist house from the sibling duo at the forefront of Berlin's new wave. 

Berlin is built on dance music. But of the many DJs who live, work and play there, few represent the evolution in the city's club culture like Tania and Dominik Humeres-Correa, AKA S-candalo. If the city was once governed by the tyranny of minimal, the post-pandemic era has cemented its reputation as the spot for "more-is-more" club soundtracks. It's still house and techno, but the chords are big, the drums are big and the basslines are even bigger. 

Nowadays, S-candalo are firm favourites at hotspots across the German capital, from Panorama Bar to Multisex and Radiant Love (not forgetting La Noche, their own burgeoning party). The duo find rich inspiration in '90s-era Latin house, a sound that takes New York house and incorporates rolling percussion from Latin genres such as samba, popularised on labels like Cutting Records and Strictly Rhythm (there's not one but two records from the latter in this mix). 

RA.956 fittingly lands at the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month in the US (more on that to come) and it's a resolutely fun affair. The duo's RA Podcast has got drive, sultry vocals and enough bounce to make you want to keep dancing way beyond the 90-minutes, marrying percussion-heavy house and ballroom with trance-inflected Eurodance from the '90s and early 2000s. (Oh, and a Shakira moment.) 

Genres aside, the duo's musical raison d'etre is pleasure. Perhaps the real scandal here is how it took us so long to get them on the series.

Soft Groovy House Set

Can't get enough of some 90's  grooves

ANAØH is proud to present the first official EP from legendary British producer Mark Williams on the label: What You Need. A key figure in the development and global expansion of the Hardgroove sound during the 2000s, Williams' career dates back to the 1980s, establishing him as one of techno's most enduring and influential voices.

While this is his debut EP with ANAØH, his connection to the label began earlier-he was featured in the second edition of our INVITES series in 2023, leaving a strong impression on our audience and artistic community.

What You Need is a bold statement: powerful rhythms, deep basslines, funk-loaded synths, and his signature percussive work that turns every track into a dancefloor weapon.

We are deeply honored to welcome back an artist we admire and respect, whose sound remains as vital and current as ever within the global techno scene.
