For volume one of our Nativecast mix series, we are pleased to present you with Amsterdam based DJ and producer NAKANO BLU. He came into the scene during the turbulent year of 2021, after switching from his drumming career towards dark electronic music. Being active for many years as a hip-hop producer and multi-purpose session drummer, he decided to start a new project focusing on the inspiring sounds of Amsterdam`s club scene, where techno is king and there is a big space for experimental DJ and producers to play their tracks for an electronic-loving crowd. 

His first single release with cologne-based label Urban Undergrounds was a more chilled, outsider house track, but his production style evolved quickly into the IDM and lo-fi techno sounds of his first EP, Æ, released with Berlin's  label Corresponding Positions, house of releases from techno legends like Umwelt or Templer. Following this evolution NAKANO BLU progressed into the breakbeat productions and fast-moving DJ sets that contain an eclectic mix of techno, IDM and juke/ghetto, defining his particular DJ style and ready to smash the dancefloor of any club.

For Volume two of our Nativecast mix series we are pleased to present the homie and up and local up and coming talent, Etari. She has already graced us and killed it with her ‘Midnight Mood’ EP for the label. Based in the city of Los Angeles, Alixandria Andre, is a DJ and music producer that fuses her love for ethereal grooves, jungle, breaks and electro through imaginative productions, diverse Dj sets, and inspired studio mixes. With Djing for exactly a decade, she's discovered bits of her artistic style which has guided her to where she is today. Through some of Etari's past releases on 100% Silk, Low Recordings, Yellow Island & Native Boundaries, you can be sure to hear more of her idiosyncratic productions in the coming years as she expands her artistic craft.

For Volume 004 of our mix series, we are happy to present e91. E91 is a DJ and a producer pushing energetic and distorted basslines in the shades of Riga. He has seen consistent releases on labels including Club Designs, Low Income Squad and most recently In2ition Music. His tracks have had a global impact, receiving features from tastemakers like CRUDE Berlin and Posse Up!, while for the last 10 years he’s become a strong presence locally in Riga’s underground and club scene. A fascination with and love of the music led to a desire to create it, and his early experimentations with 8bit music were followed by breakcore and fidget house. His sound now fuses inspiration from each of these eclectic influences and can be best described as high energy club music with a relentless groove.

For number 10 of our mix series, we are excited to present you Hermeth, one of the five members of the Geneva-based Brainwaves crew. He has been releasing his own unique brand of bangers since early 2019. He fuses his signature saturated acid sound with fiercely dirty ghetto beats to create a distinct style that has gained support from artists such as Miley Serious, My Nu Leng, The Glitch Mob, Daria Kolosova, Denham Audio, Solid Blake, Aloka, DJ Mell G, JKS, and many others. Both his DJ sets and productions are known for being rough, raw, and rapid. Hermeth's no-nonsense approach to music production and DJ-ing has helped him gain recognition beyond the electro community. He has released five EPs, remixes, and contributed to various V/A's on labels like Typeless Records, Scuffed Recs, Haws, Carouse, Molekül, and others.

Enjoy this collection of slamming, blown out, and bendy 808’s, ghetto pitched down vocals, electro vibes with tripped out Detroit influenced sequences, slamming and modulated breakbeat bass, rocking 4x4, heavy rave energy, wompy and grooving Drum and Bass, and last but not least, a peppered dose of 303.
