Polychrome Radio - Episode 1 - Noord Loop

We have the pleasure of inviting up and coming Scottish talent Liam Binnie for this second instalment of Polychrome Radio. 

As co-founder of the Creeled collective and platform, Liam has started making a name for himself in the Amsterdam club scene as a party organizer, connector and formidable selector. He is also honing his craft as a skillful producer and we are looking forward to the projects he is working on. Definitely one to keep an eye on!

Above all, Liam is an incredible human being who lives and breathes music and we are more than excited to share this podcast of his. 

Get ready for one hour of carefully handpicked melodic, hypnotic and peaking grooves as you will embark for a lovely hour of eyes closed moments. Enjoy !

Polychrome Radio - Episode 2 - Liam Binnie

This time, we are opening the floor to a great DJ and friend with whom we always share special moments in music. Would it be on a dancefloor of one of these parties we cherish, or on a B2B2B with two of our co-founders Noord Loop, Damien always has the right track to keep the flow going. Part of the Amsterdam's Shelter crew and affiliated to the Unsilenced Music collective, he is always present where the action and good music is.

It is this time under his BRAQUE alias that he recorded this podcast for our Polychrome Radio, sending us in a whirlwind of tunes floating between deep house and dub that we are really excited to share, as it has been on rotation since we received it.

Music is about connection, and we connect with BRAQUE. We are sure you will too. Enjoy !

Polychrome Radio - Episode 3 - BRAQUE

With her debut EP on the way, who else than Council to take the driving sit of our Polychrome Radio series.

Council is not only a very gifted composer and producer, but also a DJ of exception, and she brilliantly showcased it here.

Navigating with ease and elegance between groovy house records and head spinning techno gems - mixing in some of her unreleased material - she opened up to us the doors to her own sonic universe. And it is worth the trip.

This podcast is simply at the image of her talent, impressive and captivating. Makes us wish for a dancefloor with Council in command. 

For now, press play and enjoy the ride !

Polychrome Radio - Episode 4 - Council

After a summer break, our radio is back online and for this fifth episode we invited QI M0N0. She is an artist whose creative and controlled writing and production skills very early on opened our desire to hear more. 

With releases for the exciting  Cape Town based label Kulture Lab - including her highlight track "No Boost - and shows on main Amsterdam independent radios, Marijn has started a great journey of her own. Studying music production while working for record store and distributor Zwart Goud, music is always present around her, and we can hear it.

Marijn gifted us with a very high level selection of harmonious yet adventurous, deep and trippy tracks. Describing it, she told us to expect "a mixture of space, dream, Detroit, techno, electro, old-school breaks, fast pace house". And that is what we got, perfectly balanced and mixed as we like them. 

QI M0N0 is an artist to really look-out for. For the time being, enjoy this great podcast!

Introducing ‘ULTRA SERIES 3

A singular personal mix sequence covering a wider scope of sound - exploring the corners of high tempo rhythms and deep psychedelics.

ULTRA SERIES 3

When DJs and producers @eris-drew and @octoocta first met, they felt an instant connection that has only grown over the years. Kindred spirits in both music and life, the pair released their first split EP entitled Devotion in 2018, sharing the same artistic values that make their music deeply moving in all senses of the word. Their DJ sets, meanwhile, light up the dancefloor — their back to backs can be as bombastic and high-energy as they are personal and emotive, speaking to a healing force that seems to drive all of their work. 

In this episode, we discuss their b2bs, their joint tour and label, @T4TLUVNRG, and their collaborative project Alchemical Sisters — the latest addition to a cosmic world in full colour.

Mata Disk live at Draaimolen Festival 2023

The radio ecosystem is a nest for some the most knowledgeable music enthusiasts. When combined with a deep knowledge of dance floors, a sens of community and initiative, and a talent for selection, it is a nest for some of the best artists.

Seb H is one of these. Rotterdam is a city of rich music culture, and scene with an identity of its own. As every city, it faces change, and with it the birth of new talents. Actively involved in the @operator.radio community, running the @hiddenrooms_ club night and radio show along side @danny___hill (big shouts) and the @40hz.roffa night series, Seb has been offering his time and passion to the culture.

But let’s come back to the music, because on that front, we are inviting for this first episode of Polychrome Radio of 2024 a very fine selector. One that can be trusted to have the music needed for the moment, with an identity residing not in the sound but in the quality and consistency of the journeys.

For this episode, Seb H offered us a captivating techno podcast. It is a difficult genre to mix. All in subtle energy control and groove. It is here mastered. The needles trip around those records bring life to the recording, adding to the tension and pleasing releases. This selection would have made a beautiful dance in the basement that we all know and miss already.

A lot of words, but worth every one of them. Enjoy ⛲️

Podcast 73 - Tosh

The up-and-coming house-head Tosh enters our mix series with a lush delve into the deep, emotive and uplifting. It's a beautiful 120+ minutes selection in which he let us meet with grooves he loves most. A tasteful balance between dreamy and deep club productions, soulful loopy house (the kind that gives him goosebumps), fun twists into the breaky side of UK-funk, while gently stirring up the pressure with rhythmic-driven 90’s prog. ACE!  

Tosh: “For this one I went left, right and centre through house records that mean a lot to me, just as Festimi does. It includes the first electronic 12-inch I bought, David Alvarado’s signature loops, The “Groove On” label that has been following me around, Angel’s Dubs, my first Gerd record and “Whurl Wind” — which finally found it’s place. This over-two-hour expression of dance is nothing more than that, no concepts, no name, no form. What’s left?”

Hiii, Octo Octa here! I'm sharing a new mix series I'm doing under the name "Groovy Girl" and the first entry is "Bang The Drum" <3 

It is a house and acid percussive groover of a mix that will hopefully have you raving where ever you are. Mixed on two Technics 1210 M5Gs and a Pioneer A9 Mixer, plus some overdubs on the recording. 

This release is a Mix CD tracked so you can jump back over and over to your favorite part. The CD insert has photos of all of the records I used for the mix in order.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. Can't wait to get started on the next in the series!!

*** You can buy a digital version of the mix on Nina ***

Groovy Girl - Bang The Drum Mix

When koen.fm (@koenmulder) reached out to us a couple of weeks ago with the recording of his set during our Sound Session at De School, we immediately knew that it would be a special one. 

Koen's very unique collection of sounds has been inspiring us over the past years, and deserves an exceptional step aside of our Polychrome Radio series. 

Expect a psychedelic and soothing flow, perfectly catered for warm light and longer days. Enjoy the ride!
