DediCast Mix Series

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.

Welcome to the 2nd Installment of my DediCast series! This is where I spotlight the incredibly talented producer/artist/DJ friends in my network.  

Up next, we have Danielle Arielli who has been carefully studying the art and craft of dance music for over a decade. The producer, DJ and label owner of Tooflez Muzik delves into a sound that resounds without pretence, opening up new yet familiar sonic spaces while creating a communal drive. Drawing from the deep well of inspiration found in the Black music cultures of Detroit and Chicago.  Such examples can also be found on Jus Ed's Underground Quality Label, the revered Plastic People imprint and Berlin's homegrown Raiders Records.  Danielle's sonic explorations are infused with reverence for the past while pushing into the future.  

Venturing into the realm of the futuristic and experimental under the alias ANDI A., Danielle weaves together elements of classic dance music with a nod to the influential sounds of the 80s, resulting in a rich tapestry of nostalgia and innovation. With an extensive discography spanning numerous aliases, her commitment to relentless musical evolution remains steadfast
