As you all know we’re re-launching the radio with a brand new identity & content objectives. One of our new broadcasting system is called “Tiger Tapes”, this series will focus on international artists from every corner of the world. For our birthday & 1st of the series, we wanted it the be a very special mix. That’s why we went & got in touch with one of our biggest inspirations since our inception as a radio. 
He’s a big but hidden stage player, Amsterdam’s best-kept secret, an important figure in his native scene, you’ve guessed it, his name is Orpheu The Wizard.

And oh boy, how happy we are to have asked him to inaugurate our podcast series, he had carte-blanche for this mix & you can feel he went & dug up as deep in his record collection as he did his personal emotions. At first listen you are taken away by the mixtures of emotions that run throughout the 3 and half hour mix, a highly addictive touch helping you to unlock all spectrum of feelings. 

Filled with textures, glitchy but enticing drum patterns, voices from another dimension, pads that shine higher than the heavens, basses that reach untold frequencies. The mix is abundant with tracks that you will definitely be hearing for the first time, even us, diggers in the team, barely recognized any songs & that’s why he is called Orpheu The Wizard, his wand is the needle & we are his subjects.

MLD Compilation 2025 "Moments Of Light 'n Darkness"

This set brings together about three quarters of the tracks from the wonderful MLD compilation.  Given time contraints I couldnt include all, but i feel this highlights a diversity of sounds and styles of music within the dub techno space that the compilation showcases.    Without the artists names associated (and there are many of the genre's well know producers) the focus shifts to the music alone.

also AV version here: https://youtu.be/GkOYP__EPs8?si=Us6SUm5a0wsBV9aM

The compilation previews  a live event in form of an intimate open air festival called "MLD goes live" to take place  in August 2025 near Berlin.  Many of the artists in that two part compilation will perform at this event – so I hope to see you all there!

Appetite For Selection 224 - Charles Webster

1,000% positive vibe house heaters. Inspired by seeing my teenage hero @djsashaofficial play a quality warehouse party this weekend, I threw in some late 90s progressive house tracks that got me into this music 20+ years ago. It’s an energy changeup from the chill previous two installments. Listen to it in the gym, not watering your plants :) 

I set out to make this mix series positive and consistent, which is pretty much the opposite of the environment I find myself in. DC is a strange place to be an optimist, especially now as my civil servant colleagues in government are being laid off left and right with little explanation. 

So what keeps me positive aside from surrounding myself with great music? Well, I had a conversation on Friday with someone I greatly respect who laid out a case for why this country is irreparably f-ed. While there weren’t exactly holes in her argument, I would argue that similar cases could have been made at pretty much any point in history. Yet most would choose to live in this moment over almost any other. 

No one knows the future and we as individuals have limited control over it. But we can choose to believe that a better tomorrow, a better next week, a better next year and a better next generation could possible. We can choose to do what we can to make it so, in our own lives and for others. That’s always seemed like a more attractive approach to me than assuming the worst. 

The moral arc of a great DJ mix is long, but it bends towards justice. 

Thank you for listening to my DJ promotion spam. Peace and love from tranquil Washington DC :)

Finally we can welcome Bjørn Torske to trushmix in our 84th edition. We have been waiting a long time to get a mix from the Norwegian par excellence house music maestro. And now it's here! An almost two hour long house-acid-techno-disco to Sheila E session from the Torske man. Bliss mix for all the true heads and party goers out there who enjoy great music. Torske, a stayer in the underground game, a true DJ by heart and excellent selector who knows what it's about. And he prowess it all in this mix!

Be on the look out for the man coming to a town near you to spin records. Always a pleasure and a full on musically experience. Also always check out Torskes productions, new and old. Original and with so much personality like few others out there.

As always plus a bit more. This is it!
