Rond for our 25th podcast with a recording from Hotel Butterfly in Rome!

Born in 1995 and raised in Fiuggi, Damiano Rondinara aka Rond began collecting records at the age of 17 after having been fascinated by the Roman electronic scene.

He begins his career by founding Pigreco in 2016 and later Orbis 39, with which he shared the console with artists such as Omar, Andrew James Gustav, Matthias, Brasi, Saverio Celestri, Dj Tree and others.

Meticulous musical research and careful selection are the distinctive traits that develop in a mixed sound of electro, techno, synth pop and house creating an unusual but effective union.

Next Hoaxcast we welcome Leeds legend Phil Warner for 90 mins of sonic goodness. Phil is one of the collective behind @Imaginarium and head honcho of @_plant_and_deck_ Plant & Deck, Phil Warners expansive taste and intricate mixing is a product of years of procuring and playing records.
Behind the counter and behind the decks he shares his extensive knowledge and passion for club music.

Words from the man himself: “I wanted to explore my tech house collection through the eras, including bits I bought when I was young, old white labels, releases from friends and new finds through Plant & Deck. From hazy west coast groove through London swag to new school burners all with a percussive, dance floor focussed, progression. Let’s Dance!”

“Upside Down” is an instrumental journey into a shadowy, nostalgic world where the air hums with electricity and every echo feels like a warning. Inspired after rewatching Stranger Things and getting pulled back into its eerie 80s atmosphere, I set out to capture that same blend of tension, wonder, and vintage synth magic, without recreating anything directly from the show.

Built on brooding analog pads and a steady, pulse-like bass, the track moves with slow, hypnotic intention, like wandering down an empty street long after midnight. Shimmering arpeggios drift in and out like distant signals breaking through static, adding momentum without ever breaking the spell.

Instead of big drops or dramatic shifts, the intensity rises through layers: more texture, more pressure, more mystery, drawing you deeper with each passing moment.

This is a piece meant to make you imagine, explore, and slip for a few minutes into an alternate world, one where the familiar feels eerie and the unknown feels close enough to touch.

Enjoy the descent into “Upside Down.”
