OTGCAST

Our twelfth episode comes from none other than Marco Pellegrino aka Ancut. Marco runs the Discarded Gems label, but his connection with OTG stems from his incredibly dedicated work as the founder of Analogcut Mastering Studio, where he works as the main mastering engineer and lacquer cutter.  Needless to say, he is one of the central figures in our operation, a trusted friend who always keeps a low profile but delivers quality in his craft and music, both as a DJ and as a producer. This set was recorded live at the last Superluminal vs Discarded Gems event in Berlin.

It would seem that there was something in the water in Italy during the tail end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s. We recently highlighted this via our recent Free Download artist, but another Italian artist who is just as influential is Francesco Farfa. Incredibly, he was already a working DJ by the early 80s and that was before the age of electronic music. This just meant when the advent of drum machines dawned across the music spectrum Francesco was already armed to the teeth with skills honed playing funk and disco when early proto-house began filtering through to Europe. This melding of sounds and technique has produced an incredibly moorish combination of dark, brooding electro, stripped back for minimal or maximal floors, a better word can be used to describe it all - timeless. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-202-francesco-farfa/]

For our 18th podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome one of our favorite women in the scene—a true Gang staple who never disappoints. The one and only Alexia Glensy is back to delight us with her signature style and impeccable music selection. Enjoy! 

#18 Alexia Glensy - tINI and The Gang Podcast

Hailing from Gent, Belgium, Damien Dardenne aka Session 4000 has been making waves with his recent releases, including his submission to the Off The Grid imprint.  He is also a talented deejay, channeling his bubbling energy and enthusiastic flair into his mixes. This session was recorded at clubdervisionaere in summer of 2024, a dubby chunky journey with the right amount of trippyness, original cdv material... ;)

OTGCAST015 - Session 4000

An artist very much on the rise, Brazilian selector Trajano is currently blazing a trail across the underground. By the time the sun set on the summer of 2024, he already had both a European and South American tour in the bag, and with one flick through his accomplishments this year, it is clear to see why. His productions are just as high-octane as his DJ sets, and with an EP about to drop on Distrikt Paris, he already has cracking tracks out on No CCTV, Sublinar Records, LEMAIA, and Bliss Records.

With a rap sheet like this, we couldn't wait for Trajano’s debut on our InSession mix series and it was worth the wait. Tempering muscular house with moodier shades, the Casa Stereo founder steps between the two with ease. Deft in his execution, he takes care not to miss a beat as he guides us through an acid soaked snapshot of what we can expect from him in 2025. The Brazilian rarely makes the long trip to Europe and beyond, so all the more reason to make sure you catch him when he is in town and why you should make the trip to his home turf.

Trajano - Trommel InSession 144

Our first podcast of 2025, and who better to kick things off than enigmatic French duo International Mac & Tau Car. As one third of the 192gmbh crew, Mac has been spinning dancefloors on heads for years with his endless supply of shapeshifting, bargain bin goodness. Based in Berlin, the crews YouTube channel and Reptilian Mix series have garnered cult like status amongst a certain vintage of off-kilter dance music fans. More recently Tau Car has emerged from the Risky Bookings family into the limelight with some seriously classy mixes. 

Playing Dimensions for the first time in '24, the joy of their Beach Stage set was matched by the pairs smiles beaming from boats to dancefloors for the rest of the weekend. We're delighted to host their first ever podcast recorded together.
