Jules Dago has been organizing regular electronic music events for 25 years, starting in his student flat. He spearheaded PsyTech in 2005 and Twilight (Kollektiv) in 2010, focusing on Techno with this platform. Jules organized and played in various venues in Leiden, including LVC, Club Bazart, Nighttown, Multipleks, Bar & Boos, and de Vrijplaats, as well as festivals like Teknival and Occupy A'dam.

In recent years, Jules Dago has organized and played for various venues around North Holland, such as Dock x Microclub (lockdown events), Binckhaven, Club John Doe, and Roots Amsterdam.

Jules also helps out and plays at a new organization called Blended, spearheaded by Robbers and Niels van der Broek, which is organized mainly in Amsterdam. Jules Dago is primarily interested in authentic underground sounds and prefers raves over clubs.

He believes that most commercial places nowadays have lost depth and quality in electronic music. During the Covid Lockdowns, Jules Dago was the first to continue organizing events in the Zuid Holland region, even when it was difficult to find willing DJs due to fearmongering of the state.
These events were called the Dock, and later, during COVID-19, he also worked with the boys from Microclub in secretive private events.

In his own words about this period: "It was a stressful but also an intimate experience, meeting true Techno lovers to come together for the music, in this surreal time. We somehow stayed undetected and unfined for over 20 parties during this period. "The artists of Twilight Kollektiv can be listened to on over 150 musical platforms.

They have released three albums via First Impression (Jaydee) and have tracks on five Various Artists albums. The artists have played in many venues and underground facilities and at various festivals, such as Mystery Land, Innercity, and Trance Energy. Mikka has played in venues around Europe and Mexico at the ZIJ festival and clubs in Germany and Basel.

Their latest album, Make Yourself Comfortable, is available on various platforms such as Spotify, YouTube, Beatport, Amazon, Deezer, Google Video, and many others. First Impression has released all the tracks so far. The group is starting its label and plans to release its first tracks in April or May 2024.
The DJs and producers from Twilight Kollektiv are Jules Dago (founder), Eyowa, Numtek, Mikka, Groovekaiser, Infame, Erres, Maxina Laura, Tomek Sikora & Amiro Jongeman.

The Ottoman Erotic | İrvin Cemil Schick

E324 | Genetics have emerged as a new scientific tool for studying human ancestry and historical migration. And as research into the history of genetics demonstrates, genetics and other bioscientific approaches to studying ancestry were also integral to the transformation of the very national and racial categories through which ancestry has come to be described over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. In this podcast, we speak to Elise Burton about her research on the development of human genetics in the Middle East. Burton has studied the history of genetics within a comparative framework, examining the interrelated cases of human genetics research in Turkey, Israel, Iran, and elsewhere. In this episode, we focus in particular on the history of genetics in Turkey and its relationship to changing understandings of nation and race within the early Republic. In a bonus segment (see below), we also look under the hood of commercial genetic ancestry tests to understand present-day science within the context of these historical developments.

Genetics and Nation-Building in the Middle East | Elise Burton

E334 | Along with new maritime networks, information stiched together the empires of the early modern period. One component of the growing networks of information in the increasingly connected space of the Mediterranean world was espionage. As we learn in our latest conversation with Emrah Safa Gürkan about his new book Sultanın Casusları (Spies of the Sultan), the Ottoman Empire was both party and subject to the fascinating exploits of early modern spies. In this episode, we learn about the lives of Ottoman spies profiled in Gürkan's book, and we consider how the transformation of espionage in the Mediterranean relates to the development of early modern empires.

Spies of the Sultan | Emrah Safa Gürkan

E340 | In this episode, we explore the life and times of Roxelana, also known as Hürrem Sultan, a slave girl who became chief consort and then legal wife of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I (r. 1520-1566). We trace Roxelana's probable beginnings and the possible paths that took her to Istanbul, asking how she rose above her peers in the Old Palace to become a favored concubine and then the wife of the Sultan. We explore her relationship to other women at the Ottoman court, the politics of her motherhood and philanthropy, and her role in Ottoman diplomacy. In the end, Roxelana's work, her relationship with Suleiman, and the unusual nuclear family they created despite the otherwise polygynous patterns of reproduction at the Ottoman court would transform the rules of Ottoman succession, the role of Ottoman royal women, and the future of the Empire as a whole. The life story of this one remarkable woman sheds light on many facets of the history of the Ottoman Empire, showing how a single individual's story can serve as a lynchpin for grasping the complexities of an age.

E456 | What did science look like in early modern Istanbul? In this episode, Harun Küçük discusses his new book, <i>Science without Leisure: Practical Naturalism in Istanbul, 1660-1732 </i>(University of Pittsburgh Press), which tackles this question in a bold fashion. Tracing the impact of late seventeenth and early eighteenth transformations of the Ottoman economy, Küçük argues that the material conditions of scholars greatly deteriorated in this period. The changes did not, however, stop people from wanting to know about the world, but rather reoriented their work toward more practical applications of science. Küçük contrasts these conditions with those in some parts of northwestern Europe, where a more leisurely version of science--often theoretically inclined--emerged. He also grapples with the parallels between educational institutions in the early modern period and today.

Harun Küçük is Assistant Professor of History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He has previously published on Ottoman translations of scientific texts, science and religion, and the interaction between science, technology and statecraft in the early eighteenth century. His recent book, Science without Leisure: Practical Naturalism in Istanbul, 1660-1732, takes a look at the relationship between the material conditions of scholarship and the content of science in the Ottoman capital. He is currently engaged in two collaborative projects on early modern Ottoman history and is writing a book-length essay on the relationship between time and scientific labor.
