DJ Always Tired is the moniker of Daiana Platida, a Greek-Romanian DJ and selector based in Berlin, known for her genre-blending, emotionally driven sets that drift between electro, techno, progressive trancey grooves, and ambient —spanning all the way to downtempo trip-hop. 

With a keen curiosity for the dancefloor and different genres, she brings a tactile, intuitive understanding of rhythm and mood to the decks—an approach shaped by years spent immersed in club culture from the inside out.

She performs around Berlin and across Europe, where her sets stand out for their versatility, rich sonic textures, and sensual ritualistic energy. Her sound reflects the raw, experimental ethos of Berlin’s nightlife, often threading obscure cuts, nostalgic textures, and percussive complexity into extended journeys on the dancefloor.

Outside of the clubs, she has also made her mark on the airwaves with carefully crafted sets for Refuge Worldwide, Black Rhino Radio, and other platforms that highlight her downtempo, ambient, and trip-hop sensibilities. Whether in peak-time festival slots or intimate radio sessions, her curation balances playfulness with emotional depth.

With roots in the Eastern European rave community and a growing reputation across Europe, DJ Always Tired continues to carve out a space where introspection, movement, and rave energy intersec

For our latest episode, we welcome Chez de Milo, a key figure in Bristol’s underground and beyond.

Founder of Club Blanco, a party, label and platform that’s brought some of the most adventurous selectors to the UK – Chez has spent years carving out his own distinct voice as a DJ and producer. Between his Magic Carpet Ride show on Noods Radio, releases on Emotional Espacio and Futureboogie, and standout sets at Fabric, Fold and Barbarella’s, he’s become known for weaving eclectic, psychedelic-tinged journeys through hypnotic grooves, cosmic rhythms and leftfield textures.

Twin Dots is a brand new Music label founded by Alexia & Just1 based in Berlin exploring
the interplay between sound & sight. The first release on the Twin Dots is by
Moroccan/French DJ & producer Kizoku.

In Arabic, "Suad" suggests happiness, yet these nine tracks navigate more complex
emotional terrain – bittersweet foundations supporting quirky, smile-inducing melodies born
from contemplative moments.

"Suad" documents a musical journey from sample-heavy constructions toward more
synthesized landscapes, paying tribute to the hip-hop Kizoku loves, from its organic roots to
electronic contemporary developments. Each composition is a carefully assembled
patchwork of sounds, transformed through his distinctly dreamy yet melancholic lens.
The vinyl release features a trippy illustration by Achot, whose dripping style echoes Kizoku's
sonic world. Roger brought Achot's artwork to life through analog animation, adding his own
experimental touch.

Parisian-born aficionado of art, jazz, wine and the occasional fishing trip in Brittany, Cesar Merveille has an equally refined taste in music. For this set, recorded live during the first Cadenza/Aether showcase in Ampere, he had a definite focus on making the dance floor move. Mixing between house and minimal by sweeping from one percussive shuffle to another, this baseline driven story inspired by colourful latin rhythms, loopy vocals and warm synths is the perfect introduction to Cesar's take on contemporary dance music.

Recorded during the first Cadenza/Aether showcase on 03.10.2015.
