@2k88synu

Formerly known as 1988, the genre-hopping experimental producer Przemysław Jankowiak (aka 2K88) now stirs the remnants of bass-heavy UK club music with 90s- and 00s- Polish rap nostalgia, creating a borderless stew of cultural inspirations and predictions. His album SHAME, released on @Unsound earlier this year, is a dive into Poland’s vibrant hybrid club scene—a laser-focused blend of angst-filled nostalgia and eerie futurism.

CTCE W/ Sarkawt Hamad & Nelly - 18th December 2024

Sarkawt Hamad: First Hour
@nelly_dj: Second Hour

___
Connected through contagious energies by Sarkawt Hamad, is a concept that brings together music that's connected through something more intuitive than genre. The concept is creating space for more free and intuitive artistic processes, including experiments with non-club focussed electronic sounds and narratives. Monthly @Operator-radio

December's guest is Nelly.

Explorations beyond the dancefloor and emotional storytelling: Nelly crafts otherworldly soundscapes wherever she goes. The Rotterdam-based artist feels true and utter freedom behind the decks, drawing inspiration from nature and her own mind palace.

Nearing the spring equinox, we’re embracing the transition from winter to spring, marked by pagan rituals across Eastern Europe. In many regions, the burning of Morana (Slavic goddess of death) symbolizes the end of winter  - shedding the old to make way for what’s to come. This episode traces the sounds of transformation, awakening, and the slow emergence of light.
