For this episode of the series we have a special, as the guest slot features a live recording of Marsman's set from the recent FERMA x Pinkman Label Night that took place on May 31st in Six Dogs Athens. First hour by resident Romphea.

At the helm of his beloved label, Marsman preaches the ‘Pinkman sound’ to congregations of devoted followers. Holding court for over ten years now, he released more than 100 records and hosted countless club nights all over the world.

With over 15 years behind the decks, and the breathless release schedule he orchestrates for Pinkman and its subsidiary labels - Mindri, Broken Dreams & Charlois - Marsman has become a central figure in a close-knit scene of rough-around-the-edges DIY dance music.
Marsman’s DJing can ride through uplifting synths and thunderous drum patterns that are equally suited to dark, sweat-drenched basements and cavernous industrial warehouses. But dig beneath the dirt and there’s brightness to be found, with a glossy Italo sheen never far from Marsman’s selections.

Keeping clubrooms locked into groove for hours on end by meticulously building atmospheres of unease, he can pierce the tension whenever he feels the time is right with moments of hands-in-the-air euphoria. Combining euphoric disco and wave with darker, harder sounds is a trademark move from one of Rotterdam’s finest exports.

And he’s done it at all the best spots the Netherlands has to offer, with appearances at Dekmantel, Garage Noord, Pip, Drift Festival and Intergalactic FM. Further afield, he played at renowned international clubs like Panorama Bar, Tresor, Khidi and FOLD.

Beyond all this, he’s a founding member of cherished radio station Operator, and previously ran the sorely missed Pinkman record store in the heart of Rotterdam’s creative Schieblock, giving Marsman a well-deserved cult hero status for independent music in the harbour city and far, far beyond.

This compilation unites music from Mutant Radio’s friends and residents, with all proceeds directly supporting political prisoners, their families, and activists across different regions of Georgia. The struggle continues until every political prisoner is freed and new elections take place.

Whether on the streets, in our space, or through the airwaves, we remain firmly alongside the movement. Without true freedom, creativity is silenced, culture fades, and Mutant Radio cannot exist.

We extend our gratitude to our friends and residents for their unwavering support and for sharing their music in these challenging times for Georgia.

Special thanks to TBZ and Alex Michalski for their invaluable contribution to mastering.

Next up on the 2025 Bass Agenda it is a pleasure to bring you some dystopian tripnotic Electro vibes from Italian producer Pomposo. Link in Bio.

Highly atmospheric Electro beats at a range of BPMs all carefully crafted for maximum headspace stimulation with grooves to match.

Pomposo was born in Naples, went on to live in London after his student days where he organised a series of parties under the 'Primitive Beat' banner. Upon returning to Italy after 5 years his creative juices began to flow and he began producing Techno and other sounds; also running the Primitive Beat label and FreshFoodMusic. Since 2020 he has been running Macro Terra Records, focusing on a blend of Electro, Techno and Experimental sounds stemming from Ambient, Industrial and Bass music.

People sometimes speak of something that happens frequently as happening 'ever so often'. But when something happens only occasionally, it happens every so often. Ever so often is a monthly show at Operator by Samira, a dj that usually comes back to a darker palette of melancholic electro, acid and new beat.

Ever So Often w/ Samira - 15th March 2025

Ronny Pries is finally back, releasing his new EP ‘Zero Four Zero‘ on Abstract Rhythm. He contributes four brilliant detroitish influenced techno and electro tracks, perfect for creating some late night heat on the worldwide dancefloors. 
As those tracks mean a lot to Ronny, especially ‘This ain’t Jazz‘, he felt like they belonged to be released the oldfashioned way, on 12‘‘. Ronny has been releasing electronic music since the 90’s. Zero Four Zero is his first EP after a long release-absent time where he was focussing on several other music and non-music related projects. ‘‘So, as much as this release marks the beginning of something, as much does it conlcude something. There’s no (such thing as) time.“

Split - Commuter / EKATA
@commuter / @ekatamusic

Title: Split
Genre: Electro, Electronic
Release Date:  27.06.2025
Catalog: ER010

On one side, the retro-futuristic elegance of Commuter, nourished by the first vibrations of electro and a fascination for Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode. On the other, the dark, cinematic world of EKATA, a London resident and explorer of dystopian grooves inspired by science fiction. These two distinct trajectories converge on the split EP signed to Rennes-based label Ethos Records, due out on 27 June.

The project features four tracks, two from each artist, highlighting singular interpretations of electro: Commuter delivers pieces where sharp melodies and impeccable rhythms dialogue with new wave and EBM influences. EKATA, for her part, takes us on an immersive sonic journey, driven by abyssal bass and eerie synths.
 
Tracklist :
Commuter - Time Keepers
Commuter - The Variant
EKATA - Ultra Sonic Mind Control
EKATA - Escape To 1101

Available on Bandcamp - Digital Only

PREMIERE: Crossover Network - Echos Of Ultra [AS012]

From Khmelnitsky to the underground global scene, Grid User distils the sound of modern electro with a dark soul and machine spirit.

Artem, known as Grid User, is a Ukrainian producer and DJ originally from Khmelnitsky. His journey into electronic music began several years ago, leading him to study and produce his own tracks.

Inspired by the classics of electro and the work of German and American electro pioneers, Artem decided to release his first project on the Greek label Tiger Weeds. 
He has since self-released music on various Ukrainian and Western labels. Grid User is known for creating a unique sound that intertwines themes of transhumanism and digitalisation, exploring the connections between the future and the present, as well as the living and the synthetic.

While Artem leans towards a modern interpretation of electro, the influence of old-school sounds is clearly evident in his work. His love for the 808 drum machine, dark synths, and vocoders is an integral part of his musical identity. 

Recently, Artem has also begun to actively DJ at various events and parties across Ukraine. Additionally, he founded Connectome Records, a powerful new label dedicated to releasing music that offers a fresh perspective on sound and serves as a tribute to dark electro.
