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.

Who would have thought the highlight of my 2025 Australian tour would be down by the docks in a small underground club just outside the most remote city in the world?

Sometimes the things that surprise you are things that stay with you and this set was one of them, three hours of playtime warming up from an empty room to sweat dripping from the ceiling.

Direct and sincere thank you to all the dancers that showed up and stayed with me and helped create an insane atmosphere, I'm glad we can relive and revisit the vibes you created.

Representing South London this week, we're delighted to welcome Angel D'lite to the mix series. Known for her high-energy and infectious take on dance-music, the sounds and ethos of UK dance music heritage are keenly felt in both her DJ sets and productions, which have found a home on the likes of Radiant Records, GODDEZZ and Planet Euphorique. 

A schedule regularly playing records at the world's most respected venues / parties, and a label in the works are testament to a broad and determined vision. Thanks for the mix Angel, we'll see you in Tisno this summer for what's sure to be an extremely fun Dimensions debut.

Amaliah, a London-based DJ and producer, has rapidly become one of the city's most thrilling artists. She manages her label, Borne Fruits, and hosts a monthly radio show on Rinse FM. Her DJ sets reflect her bouncy personality, drawing from years of rave experiences. She seamlessly transitions from progressive house to tribal techno, exploring euphoric bass elements more rooted in her deep appreciation for sound system culture. Amaliah has performed at renowned venues like Panorama Bar, De School, and Fabric and at festivals like Draaimolen, Love International, and Glastonbury. 2024 promises to be an exciting year for Amaliah as she thrives in her musical journey.

Danielle’s DJing has touched upon vital events, venues and locations around the world, from touring the US, Australia and Asia alongside playing flagship festivals like Glastonbury, Dekmantel Selectors, Love International, and Draaimolen to clubs like DC10, Fabric, Panorama Bar and De School. She has also been a resident at Leftbank in Tbilisi since 2022. In tandem, her skills have been recognised by key publications, including Mixmag & DJ Mag (she was nominated as the best breakthrough DJ in 2020) and her live set at Organik in Taiwan was voted as one of the top 10 mixes of 2023 by Resident Advisor. Beyond her DJ work, she runs Soft Raw, a label & party series founded in 2022. Danielle also takes the time to impart her experience and knowledge to the next generation via her classes at Mix Nights – a non-profit organisation she helped set up seven years ago to encourage women and non-binary people to explore the art of DJing.
