я первый раз тебя слышу, но я в ахуе

For Crack Mix 400, we're celebrating clubs and nightlife culture across the world with a series of archive mixes.

In this mix, recorded at District 27, party resident and Test FM mainstay Raumtester offers a preview into what a night at the Moscow queer party Popoff Kitchen may entail: hard-hitting techno and long-forgotten gems.

Crack Mix 400: Raumtester

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we present: Roma Ptashenko

From 2012 Roma has found his inspiration in the roots of rave culture — the 90s: Belgium with its accelerated-rough rhythms, melancholic trance and acid with its emotional edges, Britain and hard trance from Bonzai Records, as well as early releases on German Harthouse and rave revival from ТРИП label. 

His first DJ experiments took place accordingly: two old decks, CD disk records and endless mixing.

As a result, Roma's sets have become adjust compositions that belong to the dancefloor, but leave the space for real bangers. The big-bit track smoothly enters techno cage: Cari Lekebusch suddenly weaves with Nina Kravitz's sensual hits, and Prodigy remix drowns into progressive house of the duo Der Dritte Raum.

Over the past few years, his performances could be regularly seen both in the main Moscow techno-mecca Mutabor, and in St. Petersburg's Blank or the closed underground space of Raf25, in Tbilisi's Drama Bar and Yerevan's Poligraf.

Roma is a member of two iconic Moscow communities: the Volchok streetwear project, where he leads his series of podcasts and organizes parties. And the Popoff Kitchen music queer community. This year, the association was included in the list of the most influential projects that form youth culture.

RESOMIX 01: Nikita Zabelin

@raumtester (with his real name being Sergei) is a Smalltown boy from Russia based in Berlin now. Over the past decade he has come a long way from an enthusiastic EDM listener to a resident of game-changing musical collectives. He is a fresh and outstanding face of the new wave of Techno artists whose appearance is complemententing and exciting the international electronic music scene.

Raumtester has been DJing professionally since 2015. During this time, he has managed to be a resident of parties and promotional groups which have formed the electronic dance scene of Russia and also to create his own queer party series and a radio show on Test FM «квир мир» (translates as queer world from Russian) with the average attendance of 1000 people.

Due to his disagreement with the current political situation relating to the war in Ukraine and with attitude towards LGBTQI+ community, Raumtester had to leave Russia. His international career started 4 years ago during which he had managed to play in most European capitals and cities (Germany, Ukraine, France, Portugal, Greece, Italy, etc.). As a DJ in constant research of a balance between the deep existential experience of modular techno and the emotional euphoria of trance’s various spectrums, he formed a skilled style seamlessly stitching together the genres of the old school and the new school. His musical palette is the natural reflection of his thoughts about the rhythms that resonate the inner vibrations of the human body. His musical vision garnered him invitations to record mixes and perform for many respected platforms including Boiler Room, Crack Magazine, HÖR, Ransom Note, Rinse FM etc.

Raumtester always pushes the envelope and finds new ways to express himself as an artist through different forms of art. He has collaborated with GQ Germany, Dazed & Confused, i-D, Love magazine and others spreading his ideology worldwide. After moving to Berlin Raumtester now has new “Räume” (rooms) surrounding him which he has yet to test. He explores what can be electronic music today and continues the endless journey into the mystery of the hypnotic and never-ending loop.
