A new SPANDAU20 mixtape is here to bless your ears!📼
Meet our guest, Akua, a trailblazing DJ rooted in North American techno and a driving force in the scene's new wave of machine funk. In recent years, this Ghanaian-American artist has dedicated herself to reviving the innovative spirit of techno's golden eras, paying homage to the revolutionary sonics of Detroit, Chicago, and New York City's DJs. Akua's no-nonsense style brings a necessary and poignant intensity to contemporary dancefloors, seamlessly blending old-school vibes with the authentic energy of techno's turn-of-the-century peak. Her boundless legacy continues to expand each year, earning respect from international DJs and dancers alike, thanks to her incredible mixing finesse and a constantly evolving repertoire of future-proof classics.🛸

In her Spandau20 mix, Akua takes a vinyl-focused, high-energy, and 100% old-school approach. Endlessly inspired by older techno mixtapes and radio shows, she channels a raw and funky energy reminiscent of Detroit in the '90s. This mix is a nod to the real heads — an "if you know, you know" vibe transporting listeners to an era where techno pulsated through the airwaves with unbridled spirit.😎So be ready to take a deep dive into this immersive experience!🖤

Mala Junta rabble rousers DJ Tool and D.Dan are up next for Zenaari Mix 010, but leave your biases at the door because this isn’t their usual high-speed mischief. In the vein of Zenaari’s hallmark off-kilter electronics the Berlin based pair are here instead to take you on a journey within. This one’s less for warehouse raving, more for solo spiritual contemplation: an invitation to probe the subconscious and transcend material experience. It’s a thorough exploration of their ambient predilections that range from featherlight textures to faded melodies that lilt like waves on a metaphysical shore. This liminal collage of gentle lullabies and acoustic murmurs is soft and a touch plaintive, but warm and loving all the same. Invoking everything from glitchy IDM to ballads that bend towards the strange and pineal, a technicolor dream sequence conjured up by this offbeat techno double-act.

Being trans has only brought me happiness and euphoria and so I wanted to convey that in this UNFOLD set <3

I wanted to do a fun set, where I could just let loose and dance whilst playing and celebrate being trans on such a wonderful line-up of trans and non-binary people 💃 <3

Was such an amazing crowd around me - I'll never forget that set & this day :)
