Sacred Pools is a monthly show, rotating between DJ October, Faso and Toshiki Ohta. All three hosts showcase a varied and intriguing combination of music on the Sacred Pools show - from harshly metallic noise rock, unhinged post-punk, chillingly minimal synth, breakbeat rave and pervy wedding disco.

The newest Elektornimix is by none other than Mesak, whose new vinyl release on Elektorni we are celebrating this weekend in Helsinki and Oulu as well as 14.12. in Turku!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX012: Mesak @mesak

If you've been following Elektorni or Finnish electronic music in general you should be familiar with Mesak's work and history in the scene so we will skip the bio and not keep you unnecessarily long from hitting the play button. What we will say though, is that you're in for a treat with this mix. Just like Mesak's own production work, this one-hour mix never stagnates. Various rhythms and moods blend together for a unique trip into the aesthetic world of this singular artist. It's our honor to present to you number 12 in our ever-growing mix-series, from a true legend in the game.

We leave you with Mesak's words on how the mix came about: 

"The mix happened rather spontaneously than perfectly planned. It includes some all time favs as well as dusty, less often played obscurities picked up from the garage storage room. Enjoy!"

Minerva Records Describes Anatolian Folk & Funk w/ Elasoul & Hasan Mahir [180625 Jazzit:Bar]

LNS - SUBBA (Preview)

In 2025, Roger 23 makes his return to Night Defined Recordings. Following his 2022 album “Bounds of a Moral Principle and Established Standard Behavior”, the unmistakable Saarländer revisits his teenage memories of the Saarbrücken-Leicester connection through a collaboration with his UK kindred spirit, Tom Dicicco. In just two months, the duo has created a collection of ten tracks rich in sonic depth, embodying their dedication to and belief in the power of exploration.

In a world where it’s easy to point fingers or resist change, Tom Dicicco and Roger 23 choose a different path. They see creativity not just as self-expression but as a way to inspire future generations. Their mission is to challenge norms, trust the process, and create with purpose.

This album is more than just a musical project — it’s a statement that true innovation arises from freedom and risk-taking. The journey has taught them more than music production — it has reinforced the importance of conviction and trusting their vision. Their work serves as a reminder that leadership is about breaking new ground and inspiring others to do the same.
WE CANNOT COMPLAIN, IF WE DON'T DO IT BETTER

PREMIERE: Tom Dicicco & Roger 23 - It's A Bit Like Washing Hands Without Adding The Warm Water

On 13th September 2025 we were hosting a special listening session and talk during Take The A-Train Festival in Salzburg. In the cozy (but sweaty) environment of Salon Hohenstauffen we discussed the state of Women in Jazz with the Austrian saxophonist Lisa Hofmaninger. Furthermore, well known author, dj, radio host and music expert Thomas Meinecke was playing records by female jazz composers and providing essential background information about it.
Enjoy!
