Italorator w/ Marsman [Episode 7]

https://soundcloud.com/marcpinol & https://soundcloud.com/hugo-capablanca: This mix was recorded live at Zurich's long-lasting, true iconoclast event series, Spezialmaterial, currently being solely programmed by decades in the business, connoisseur curator Cio Assereto, and holding the longest residence known at iconic Swiss club Zukunft. Usually a slot reserved for nothing short of legendary figures like thee one and only Andrew Weatherall (their most regular guest) or Optimo (their second most?), an open-to-end set at Spezialmaterial is certainly not for everyone. A journey into the weirder dark corners of club music? An energetic yet hypnotic psychedelic trip? We'll let you be the judges of that. It is certainly 100% C.P.I. at its essence. Dive in with an open mind and ye shall be rewarded.

C.P.I. is the collaborative effort from long-time Hivern Discs operative Marc Piñol, a staple in Barcelona’s underground electronic scene and one of its most revered DJs, and Berlin-based artist, DJ and self proclaimed dilettante, Hugo Capablanca who runs his somewhat iconic label(s) Discos/ Ediciones Capablanca.

Bound by a shared love of drone luminaries, ’80s electronica experimentalists, early acid house adopters, mutant techno and forward-thinking industrial sounds, the duo wrote their first Ep El Tunel/ Proceso in a whirlwind and, released on 2015 on John Talabot’s imprint, positioned themselves among the most talked club acts of the moment, earning both press and public acclaim with an innovative blend of their influences and modern production techniques that became easily distinguishable.

In 2018 their sophomore Ep Meine Hand is released. That same year C.P.I. receive the prestigious RTF Foundation composer’s grant and work for months in what consolidates in their debut album, Alianza.
Released on 2020 to wide critical acclaim, the LP featured Anna Homler, Veronica Vasicka and Spacemen 3 members, among others, and represented a pivotal shift in the duo’s creative output, leaving aside dancefloor concerns towards a fully immersive sound experience.

On May 2021 C.P.I. performed their first-ever live show in Barcelona deconstructing Alianza into a dark ambient maelstrom. Ambient Blackout, the live recording of the show, released end of 2023 on Ediciones Capablanca.

Marsman @ Body Heat XIII [26.10.24]

We revive our Global Selection series with a standout contribution from one of France's most authoritative selectors of his generation, Ivan Smagghe.

Ahead of his return to Dublin for Big Dish Go this weekend at Centre Point, Smagghe delivers a masterful hour of storytelling through sound. From shimmering downtempo rarities to deep, driving house cuts and smoky, electro-kissed grooves, his mix unfolds like the hazy soundtrack to a foggy morning in the hills of an undisclosed rave, transporting you there, or wherever your wandering mind takes you.

Few DJs can transform obscurity into dancefloor gold like Ivan Smagghe. With a musical ethos reminiscent of the late, great Andrew Weatherall, Smagghe acts as a raw conduit, channelling his notoriously esoteric record collection into the pulsing bodies beneath the strobe. His latest mix is yet another example of his singular talent—a deep dive into the avant-garde fringes of electronic music, held together by an intuitive understanding of groove and space.

Smagghe has long been at the intersection of Parisian hype and unwavering musical integrity. From his pioneering work with Black Strobe to his boundary-pushing productions as one half of It’s A Fine Line, he has received praise from some of the most respected names in electronic music, including James Murphy, Trevor Jackson, Ata, Optimo, and, of course, Weatherall himself. What is their shared mission? To demonstrate that electronic music is more than just a hedonistic soundtrack; it is a constantly evolving art form.

“I have very fond, if a bit blurred, memories of the Big Dish Go parties in the basement of Kennedy’s… Loud and wild they were but we live in the now and we must let that spirit live on. It’s just about freedom, in that mix (who cares what style it is) and in that ephemeral companionship with David Holmes. Freedom & Love”

Italorator w/ Marsman - 18th March 2025

PDA MIX 13 ♥ Mowgli

For the latest instalment of the PDA mix series - we are more than honoured to invite Rotterdam based DJ Mowgli. Mowgli’s sound has been shaped by minimal wave, proto EBM,  the noisier edges of Chicago as well as Italo and Hi-NRG downstream from the Dutch West Coast scene. You can hear these influences transmuted into this recording of expertly configured, left-of-centre mutant House music to jack your astral body to!

Tune in and drop out 🫠
