PODCASTS

Hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, @ruizprod steps into the role of archival selector, tracing the beating heart of Afro-Colombian and pan-Latin American rhythm: from Petrona Martínez’s ancestral bullerengue and Cumbia's global ambassador Totó La Momposina to the lush, psychedelic swells of Los Mirlos and Los Destellos.

A rich blend of field recordings, dialogue and guitar lines, the mix pays homage to intimate family gatherings and the passing down of oral tradition. Erika also speaks candidly about her selections, gifting us an hour of cultural cartography that maps the borderless archive of Colombia’s Caribbean coast and the legacy of Afro-diasporic music in Latin America.

RUIZ OSC1 (Afro-Colombian Folk, Cumbia, Bullerenge) | OUTOFCHARACTER #002

A nod to the after-hours of the past, @hi_mija writes a nostalgic tribute to weekends spent on an unflagging dancefloor with an hour of throwbacks cruising through house, disco edits and techno mutations that span nearly three decades of dance music history. 

From the sunny cuts of Paul Johnson to Jeff Mills’ metallic “The Bells,” the set stitches together the ecstatic weirdness of Justice, the body-heat of Soulwax's “Work It" remix, and the sweat-strewn floor fillers of Todd Terry and Jamie 3:26. What emerges is both archival and forward-leaning: a collision of crate-dug classics, remixed gems, and underground anthems that turn the room into a time-bending continuum. Equal parts hedonism and history lesson from the 90s through the 2010s.

A hushed, meditative @ziskomusic treads the steady passage inwards, exploring the many shades of life through an hour of downtempo and ambient sound. Observing the enigma as though tracing its contours in the dark, the Argentinian artist moves with patient precision under a gentle, controlled touch, gliding through the surreal breaks of Nice Girl, the spatial depths of Tammo Hesselink and moments of quiet illumination like an echoing, diminishing tide.

A slow-burn that softens the boundaries between us, this mix is made for introspective nights and surrendering to the mystery of the eternal unfolding. Enjoy the ride.

Converging at the intersections of UK bass, 140, broken techno and global club, @JKSmusic translates a decade of drumming experience into a comprehensive study of the genres that shaped him prior to ever touching an electronic drum machine. Threading together the syncopation of Dubrunner and Biome with the low-end physics of Breaka and the North African influences of mahraganat, Valentin compiles an exhaustive catalogue of his own musical evolution and a reflection on its geographical roots.

Stepping beyond the confines of his usual techno framework, this two hour mix pays tribute to his rhythmic foundations, exploring organic, human percussion, the concept of rave, and the physical warmth and weight that drives these sounds.

An exercise in the art of restraint, @carmenelectr0 cited a desire to expand beyond her club persona into a more delicate world she has mostly only appreciated in private. A longtime fan of Ricardo Villalobos, Mr. G, and other pioneers of dubby minimalism, she recorded this mix entirely on vinyl, drawing from more secluded corners of her collection to share tracks that have rarely made it into her sets. Though still recognisably sentimental at its core, she stated an intention to present house and techno cuts that meander through more subtle shades of emotion, whilst hinting at a new direction for upcoming creative projects.

Deep, hypnotic and nostalgic, Carmen channels the gentler B-sides and ambient undercurrents that have shaped her off-duty listening away from the booth. From the "don't think, just listen" spirit of Markus Suckut and the humidity of Roman Poncet to nthng’s near-spiritual finale, the mix is glossy, tactile, and surreal: sixty minutes adjusted to cruise control along the softer edges of her universe.

Originally recorded as a test run for a performance at Halle am Berghain, this fifty minute mix shimmers with a fantastical sense of depth as though peering into an endless, velvet void from the precipice of a cliff. Wild, tender and dramatic all at once, a combination of drums, modular hardware and electronic instruments breathe a paradoxical entity into existence, reflecting back the shifting face of nature's discordant beauty and menace through ritualistic samples, pads and synth lines.

Varying between lightness and weight in her footsteps, @beste-hira takes the road less taken, drifting into an internal world that is both submerged and self-reflective - suspended at moments like a snapshot capturing fragments of her own free-fall.
