Excited to share episode 5 where Debbie invited Dwaalgast for the Digital High series.

Dwaalgast, a new alias by Nuno Dos Santos. Nuno started this project back in 2020 with the aim of exploring ambient, gritty electronica, breaks, sound collages, and everything in between. Curious about the name Dwaalgast? It came to me while reading a book about animals, particularly birds. I think it suits the project very well and has a dual meaning. "Dwaalgast" refers to a rare animal that is observed outside its usual habitat. This can include marine mammals, bats, insects, but it's most commonly associated with birds. Also Dwalen in Dutch means "to wander" or "to stray."

For this episode Debbie made a mix inspired on the concept of Dwaalgast which is very close to her own conceptual ideas. You will hear that in the 1st hour. 

In the 2nd hour Dwaalgast takes over and will take you on his journey which will not disappoint.

Madloch has never been one to fit neatly into a box. As a DJ he thrives on range and adaptability, moving fluidly between ambient soundscapes, dub techno, electronica, deep house, progressive house, breakbeats and beyond. It is this eclectic spirit that has carried him from intimate clubs to fashion industry showcases, from underground European residencies to marathon all-night journeys across the Americas.

His formative years in the early 2000s were shaped by residencies in Belgium and Holland, where long weekends behind the decks forged the patience and perspective that define his sets today. For Madloch, the art of DJing lies in storytelling, something that cannot be captured in a compressed one-hour slot. The longer the night, the deeper the connection, with an eight-hour performance at Miami’s legendary Do Not Sit On The Furniture standing as one of many reminders of his love for extended narratives.

By the time international touring beckoned, Madloch had already established himself as a trusted selector at home. Tours followed across North, Central, and South America, as well as every major European capital, often with Sound Avenue label nights anchoring his appearances. These experiences revealed an artist who is not only versatile, but equally at ease guiding a packed dancefloor as curating atmospheric journeys for more unconventional stages.

Beyond the booth, Madloch has built one of underground electronic music’s most respected label families. What began with Sound Avenue has expanded into a group of successful imprints, including 3rd Avenue, Crossfade Sounds, Daydreamers, Future Avenue, and more. Together, they have become a home for both established voices and emerging artists, with Madloch curating compilations that offer new talent the opportunity to grow alongside industry heavyweights. This balance between nurturing the next generation and working with revered figures has defined his role not just as a DJ and producer, but as a cultivator of scenes.

As a producer, Madloch’s work has attracted the attention of some of the industry’s most celebrated names. His music has been remixed by Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile, Eelke Kleijn, Petar Dundov, Budakid, Tim Engelhardt, Charles Webster, Dmitry Molosh, Cid Inc., Sascha Dive, King Unique, Martin Roth, Nhar, and many others, ensuring his sound continues to resonate far beyond his own discography.

For all his accomplishments, what sets Madloch apart is his refusal to be confined by a single style or context. Whether headlining a label showcase, playing deep into the morning hours of an all-night set, or presenting cutting-edge artists through his labels, he remains driven by the same ethos: music as a story that unfolds best when given the time and space to breathe.
