Hannah D is a DJ and artist originating from Meanjin (Brisbane), now residing in Naarm (Melbourne) — a city with a dedicated electronic music community that sees her as a go-to for progressive sounds. Through both her music and delicately-blended mixes, Hannah has created a tangible connection around the globe with new age revivalists of the 90s and 00s sound. Aside from her own personal artistry, Hannah heads up TSBU (The Space Between Us), the successful Australian label which has a local focus on proto sounds within the progressive tech space. The TSBU discography already includes a variety of releases from Mabel, Al Dente, Gallery B, and more. 2023 has seen Hannah exceed the high expectations that are associated with her name, with a debut European tour and further additions to the ever-growing TSBU label catalogue - as well as more stellar events under both her ‘Luna Blessings’ (with DJ Luv You) and ‘Send/Return’ (with Bex) event brands. Chocked full of highlights, the first of many ‘business’ trips to Europe included a 5-hour b3b (alongside fellow Weaver artists Mabel & suki) for a sold-out warehouse event in Lyon, debut performances online and in-person in Berlin, Copenhagen and London, and a lasting impression that already has multiple northern hemisphere outfits requesting a return in 2024. She now has her sights firmly set on providing Australian audiences with further exhibitions of her sonic output - a sound that draws inspiration from both the people and places that surround her. Expect Hannah to continue going from strength-to-strength, bringing her euphoric tones to you and your friends wherever you may have the pleasure of encountering her enigmatic DJ sets.

Its a warm Sunday evening in Wales and XDB is doing his thing on the stage outside which as per usual is inspiring. As 20:30 appraoches I make my way into room 3 where I'll be making my 3rd Freero appearance as a DJ and the nerves kick in a little. I greet the staff on production, set myself up and do a soundcheck. 

All is well but also all the feelings of an imminent pre-gig mindset of a DJ start to surface which is to be expected as this is one of the best festivals in the UK, and not to mention the last time I played in this room I closed up shop after Jennifer Mayanja which was challenging due to the heatwave we had that weekend which caused the equipment to overheat. 

In any case this is a fresh slate and I am ready to go. I am opening up proceedings before Leah Floyeurs & Alex Downey whom are both great DJs... so again no pressure right? 

The brief from Steevio was pretty simple... keep it Deep/Soulful and Jazzy so I did my best to stay within those parameters over the 1 hour and 45 min I had been given. 

The time whizzed by and I thoroughly enjoyed every min of playing in that room building it up & seeing the people getting lost in the music. 

I hope you enjoy xc

Our tenth installment of the podcast was an unforeseen and unplanned one. Often, the unforeseen, unexpected, and unplanned are unsettling, but in this case, they brought an unbelievable musical journey. We want to welcome Manfredas from our 10th installment. A bespoke selector with a musical knowledge that would fill several musical libraries, he kindly extended his Saigonese soiree and filled our Sunday session with great joy. Expect a mix that meanders, accelerates, and wanes, all over the course of 90 minutes. An unimaginable journey between genres, tempos, musical styles, and directions, showcasing the versatility of Manfredas.

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

Very kindly recorded live on the night by @mucaromusic and given some mastering love by @alignrepeat, this is my opening set from the 2nd room at Vent for Mind Off. I really wanted to dig out lots of old deep and warm sounding records for this set and slowly build as people ventured into the room, so I spent a lot of time trying to pack my record bag with old favourites and others I've hardly played since getting them 10+ years ago! Those that have seen me play a lot in Manchester will likely recognise the odd 'Slagbat classic' in there so hopefully that'll bring back some good/questionable memories too. So pour yourself a brandy, turn on your lava lamp(s) and get come take a dip in the deep end.

Manfredas, a DJ/producer based in Vilnius, Lithuania, is also known as one half of Dresden party with Ivan Smagge. His kaleidoscopic play, shaped by the genre-spanning musical knowledge cultivated as a radio DJ, radiates an eclectic and irresistible attraction while evoking influences from electro, disco, post-punk, and beyond. This two-hour set, live-recorded at BAR Inc Osaka in July 2025, is no exception to his spellbinding style.
