Stathis Kalatzis | Memory Burn | Stegi Radio

2020 was the year that dancefloors emptied around the world. This episode is a tribute to club music that came out that year and didn’t test a sound system. In a fast paced, trend recycling environment, terms such as longevity and ephemerality gain a new meaning: how old or new is a tune that was released almost two years ago if you never danced to it? Props to all the producers and labels that kept the fire burning regardless of the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the culture world then and yet once again.

The latest instalment focuses on low end bpm juggling where anything goes below 100 and over 150. A Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde atmosphere, reflecting the optimism and dreams of a new year vs January’s blues amplified yet again by empty dance floors.

Halfway through the residency, this one focuses on percussive slicing and dicing, from ethereal and up-tempo to borderline bonkers, in the 100 -150 bpm vortex.

Next up: an introspective sonic narration informed by disheartening geopolitical affairs, blissful escapism, those voices in your head that keep you awake at night and the (mis)conception that everything – in the end – will be alright.

Dub music and its production values has been a well of inspiration for many a musical genre. This first episode is an homage to its footprint on techno, house and club music in general, and how a plethora of producers from different eras around the world interpreted its influence. Two hours of reverbs and delays, hisses and crackles, subtle variations and a sense of stasis not unlike autumn itself when there is a moment that time has almost frozen in its own melancholy.

The Night Bell With Lightning • A Tribute To David Lynch w/ A Safe Spacetime (21.01.2025)

21st century electro-futurism, Helsinki style. 

Sometime around a decade ago, electro started to surge onto dance floors again. A new generation of DJs, from Helena Hauff and DJ Stingray, brought the sci-fi, cyborg funk to new audiences, as a modern retool of the style began enjoying the ubiquity of its four-to-the-floor cousins. And few embody its future for our current decade like Sunny Seppä, AKA Sansibar.

Cutting his teeth in Helsinki's underground with residencies at Kaiku and Post Bar, Seppä's sound draws from a broad range of influences far from the Finnish capital. His first releases channeled the high-definition Motor City school of electro, but he has since evolved.

Not one to be confined by the narrow confines of any genre, the Finnish producer and DJ's discography has steadily begun to encompass a wider palette of influences, including releases with fellow new-gen electro artist Reptant.

It's no wonder Seppä has found a home on Kalahari Oyster Cult. Sans Musique was released by Rey Colino's label, and both are united by a love for an amalgamation of gritty and ecstatic sounds of the '90s. As Colino put it himself, the Cult espouses "nostalgia with a modern sound design."

You can hear that peppered throughout Seppä's RA Podcast. From Simulant's stone-cold classic "Wav.Form" to shades of tech house from the late '90s and early '00s (as well as some of his own unreleased material), the full vision of his broad sound world comes alive on RA.976. You won't technically hear too much electro in this mix—but underscoring many of the selections is the retro-futurism that electro elicits, that bleary-eyed optimism of dance music's halcyon era.

Hessle Audio feat. Dave Huismans (ex-libris, A Made Up Sound) - 30 June 2025

Seven and a half exhilarating hours from one of modern club's sharpest.

Tim Reaper's mammoth entry for RA.1000 is all about range. You thought the Future Retro London boss was just a jungle and hardcore head? Think again.

The mix's infinite-scroll tracklist (the longest we've ever published in full!) includes a who's who of top-rate producers, from A Guy Called Gerald and Cari Lekebusch to Batu, Mia Koden and the one and only Shackleton.

Opening with weighty grime and ending on head-spinning drum & bass, the mix journeys through US club, wobbly dubstep, classic techno and, of course, many shades of jungle. Rather than go the easy route, the Londoner approached the assignment with the curiosity, integrity and vulnerability of fellow shapeshifters like dBridge, Calibre and ASC.

"The idea was to represent other styles of electronic music that I've been a bit self-conscious about openly expressing my interest in," he told RA.

RA.1000 isn't just another side of Tim Reaper's artistry: thankfully for us, it feels like only the beginning.

For Trushmix 131 we have a special interesting mix by Italian DJ, former record store owner and deep music digger Giovanni Turiaco from Padova. And exciting musical peek into old-school Italian club culture, during the mid eighties till early nineties, when Italy had a strong, influential and also a very interesting period of electronic music and strong club scene, with the super clubs providing a room for an experimental approach, but yet danceable party culture for the bigger masses. Before it all went away. Giovanni Turiaco was part of this and playing alongside the big ones from that era. But he never went along the later commercial club scene, he kept it underground and his passion for good music, deep digging and vinyl never faded away.

A long but interesting introduction by New York residing Italian Madteo. A great and informative read! To read A LETTER FROM MADTEO, GIOVANNI TURIACO AN INTRODUCTION please go to

Thanks to Madteo for providing this mix and also writing a letter for Trushmix!

Pure Enjoyable mix!
