HOMODROP Podcast 013 - MALA IKA

Tronik Youth needs no introduction. But let’s say a few words about him for the sinners out there who are not that familiar with his career, shall we? First things first: The man is a living legend! If the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene is in steady growth, it is also because of the reach of NEIN Records, his very own label. A platform whose massive audience has been helping to promote the work of not only acclaimed & rising artists but also skilled wannabes for 10 years. His prolific output keeps flirting with perfection, not for nothing is he so requested for remixes and collaborations.

Be sure to treat yourself with his first EP of the year: “10PM”, a top-notch darkness-infused singles with remixes made with love by Louis De Tomaso and Oltrefuturo, coming soon on NEIN.

Originally from France, Enzo started collecting & playing records in 2016 in Paris. Inspired by the city's atmosphere and famous record stores, Soulful House and Italo Disco became his first influences. Based in Berlin since 2018, he has created Cosmic Hallway, combining electronic music and social projects and co-organizing the Berlin "Origin" parties. Alongside these collaborations, he is making a name for himself on the German electronic scene at the all-time famous Renate and Club der Visionaere. His cutting-edge vinyl selection combines dreamy, hypnotic beats with deep basslines. Just the way we like it!

Tales From The Crypt

“After Midnight” is a late-night deep house cut built on warm basslines, lo-fi textures, and a smooth old-school groove. Relaxed, minimal, and atmospheric, the track is designed for quiet hours, empty streets, and low-light moments when the city slows down. A subtle, hypnotic release that resets the mood and sets the tone for the year ahead.

Isn’t it so that sometimes, the best thing you can do on the dance floor is to retreat inward?
Use the space and sound to slow down and check in with yourself. Reflect on life, on where you’re at.
Or you can just say fuck it, simply let go and enjoy the ride! 

I have a selection that, at least for me, has created a powerful sense of capability, that kind of melancholic euphoria, you probably know what I mean? 

Shared experience and piecing that together is sacredly important to me. I am willing to take risks when crafting that together.  What does that mean in practice? 
I’ve noticed that having a few surprises up my sleeve in terms of music selection really helps with that. When the crowd is even a little on edge, wondering what’s coming next, it keeps that good tension and collaborative vibe alive.

Over the past years, I’ve more often managed to create that “in the same boat” feeling on the dance floor. That’s the most important thing for me: when I see people exchanging approving looks, collectively building the co-created experience. 

I’m happy to put myself in a vulnerable position, even risk becoming laughed at in a situation where some electronic music purist might say, “You can’t do that, it’s tasteless crap.” But then it ends up working on the floor in that moment. And if it doesn’t, that’s a price I'm willing to pay. 

I believe emotional intelligence is just as essential to a great DJ as musical taste and a well-stocked record collection. Hundreds of nights spent on dance floors don’t hurt either.

I take this craft very seriously, but that doesn’t mean I can’t approach it with a touch of playfulness. I' active atm and in the past year I have played from Après-Ski in the Alps to Clubs, Bars to Underground Raves to regional Burning Man events. 

I spend hours daily digging new music. I have a vast collection, spanning from indie dance to minimal, progressive, deep house, and techno.  

I'm always excited to play. I have a deep addiction to moments where magic and emotions are co-created on the dancefloor ✨✨
