'Atlantis' on Operator Radio

For the first episode of Atlantis we’re zooming into the underwater worlds of James Stinson and Gerald Donald, two of my absolute personal heroes whose music have seen a big amount of rereleases in the past months. A true blessing for whoever holds a connection with the Drexciyan Empire as some of their work became unaffordable. These reissued works form the base of this show, complemented by many other records, rereleases or not, old and new, that hold a link to Afro Futurism or songs I just love.

Ahhh finally a new Safe Radio episode. 

Safe Radio S07E02 is the longest so far in the series - more specifically 5 hours and 31 minutes. It consists of 78 tracks that i've been listening to and playing out since last episode. As per usual we're riding from ambient over downtempo to club/dance music.

I've been wanting to put some of the tracks from this episode in my other mixes, but somehow couldn't crack the code until now. I'm obviously super excited about finding a way to finally get [ some of ] these tracks into one of my mixes. 

Big shout out to everyone who are sending messages and showing interest in my music and what I do. I hope you like this one too ;-)

Enough yapping.... I guess there's not much more to say than buckle up and let's get stuck in. 

C.K - Safe Radio S07E02

Here is the recording of my most recent DNB60 mix for Radio 1's D&B show with Charlie Tee, which originally aired late November 2024.

Low_End Cast 01 w/ HOOVER1

Shed is arguably one of the most diverse electronic music makers of our times and clearly one of our favorites.
Since his first release in 2004 on Delsin, followed by several albums on Ostgut Ton and his own Soloaction imprint, René Pawlowitz has established himself as one of the best contemporary techno artists and delivered essential releases on labels like 50 Weapons, Monkeytown, XL Recordings, Warp Records, Tectonic and Power House.
René is a raver at heart with a penchant for broken beats, which he expresses through various monikers such as Head High, WK7 and The Higher, to name a few.
With his latest project Hoover1, he has stepped deeper into jungle/drum bass territory.
Counting four releases so far, Hoover1 offers essential bass music that ranges from jungle to dnb to hardcore breaks. 
After smashing the Low_End Collective dance floor back in October, we are proud to present you the first ever Hoover1 mix, an one hour trip down the jungle, dnb, hardcore breaks and bass lane - we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Amen!

Previously as Operating Modus.

"Meet aQa, a Rotterdam-based DJ whose boundless approach to electronic music is both precise and dynamic. Rooted in a deep respect for the art of composing and using the element of water as his cornerstone, aQa’s sets flow seamlessly from atmospheric ambient and IDM to blistering 90’s electro and hard-edged Detroit techno that will shift any audience into top gear. 

With appearances at De School, Breakfast Club, Drift and HÖR Berlin, alongside his monthly Atlantis residency on Operator Radio, aQa has cemented himself as a strong voice in the endless depths of electronic music. His music draws from a deep well of influences, blending the forward-thinking ethos of artists like Brian Eno and Biosphere with the aquatic mythos of Drexciya and the raw energy of Underground Resistance, offering a sound that feels both timeless and forward-looking.

Whether helming the decks in intimate spaces or expansive festival stages, aQa’s performances are as fluid as they are ferocious. Operating at the crossroads of instinct and intention, aQa leaves a resonance that lingers long after the final track."
