New addition in the mix series comes from Phase Group label head, Thomas.  This mix pulls from the post-punk, wave and industrial side of his tastes and features artists like Blak Saagan, Datblygu, Body Without Organs, Pre Fix, Kulku and SM Nurse as well as some forthcoming material that will be coming out soon on Phase Group. 

This mix was originally aired on Athens' Fade Radio for Petros Spatharos' Forget The Rules show.

025 – X.Y.R

On June 24th I released my debut album titled „Strapazen und Genesung“ / „Strain And Recovery“ on the Amsterdam Label Knekelhuis. In this show I introduce you to parts of the record, accompanying thought processes as well as music of others that inspired me along the way.

Framework & Context at Operator Radio (30.06.22)

"…again it has been ages since the last edition of Respuest Alternativa. I guess it has been more than a year. I have been working on this one for months, trying to catch one feeling, one state of mind, but as time passes so do feelings which is why it has been very hard to create a story that reflects on my current situation. The situation is though, when I really think about, a process of searching myself. It may sound like something that is anyways happening all the time, but the last year and especially the last couple of months in which I was diving through so many different cultures and places, gained a true meaning for me in terms of self development. 

The part of me which has always been doubting, doubting myself and the world around me, doubting that anything means anything and that there is a true meaning to the things has slowly started to transform into something more positive, something more believing, believing in my self, in the clouds, the rain, the animals, the trees. Spirituality has played quite a big role in this process which is still going on and which probably will never end. Especially about this radioshow I was often not sure, stopped again, pushed it by side and now that I am sitting in a garden somewhere in central Mexico, being enriched by great people, weird plants and shamanic peyote ceremonies, I decided it is time, time to finish this one. 

May you feel what ever you want while listening to it. It is melancholic, but it is not sad, it is blue but not dark. May all the spirits come together and bless us all, never stop praising the things around you, even if everything goes a la Verga. Ometeo…"

In the realm of De Kat Memwa series, the musical milieu has undergone a remarkable transformation since 2018. The rare beats and curious chords have evolved into a more intricate and sophisticated soundscape, intent on stimulating an array of emotions and cognitive responses, from tranquil reveries to incisive musings.

Despite these changes, one aspect remains constant: the meticulous curation of guests. Each selector invited to join the series represents a fount of inspiration, overflowing with boundless talent and expertise, all of which I deeply admire and hold in the highest esteem.

So I'm extremely happy that today we have a guest mix recorded by Frank from Berlin. A man of many guises and talents. You may know him as Frans Æmbient or A Method To Exist. In our series, unveils his latest sonic endeavour T.V.S.T. (TV IS TERRIBLE) project in which he constructs a hauntological reality with pearls from the scrapyard. 

Frank is also the visionary mastermind behind the experimental label and mix series Kashual Plastik, a cherished haven for adventurous researchers, outsiders and mavericks alike. 

Moreover, he curates the musical palette at the Arkaoda Berlin, one of the world's most daring and multidimensional venues.

Press play and embark on a safe and inspiring trip into the reality of T.V.S.T.

Our latest podcast comes from our man in Athens, Fantastikoi Hxoi. Translated as 'Imaginary Sounds', FH first came to our attention several years ago with some amazing edits of obscure Greek pop, rock and folk tunes, among other global music. 

Using samples from classic or totally forgotten tracks, FH creates a peculiar retro-futuristic sound through complete reconstruction or a drastic re-edit.  2008’s 'Masters Of The Universe' 2LP (self-released and available for free at fantastikoihxoi.blogspot.com) has amassed plenty of fans with over 15,000 downloads. The follow-up is expected to be released from the Inner Ear label in the coming months.

Enjoy.

H&P: 25 - Fantastikoi Hxoi presents Fleur Tropicale

https://soundcloud.com/marius_georgescu is somewhat of an enigma. He's a Bucureşti expat in Berlin. He loves to drive endlessly whilst listening to music. He's a former 'The Attic' magazine collaborator and hosted the 'Facicolo Gangana' show on Lyl Radio. He's the undisputed table tennis champion of Neukölln, and curates my fav youtube channel.
« Rather than arraying the narrative around it, I would like to endorse channeling some of the extra time one might have right now towards being slightly more profound about the music listening habits, which could very easily be quite away from the zillion distractions of these fast forward times. Upload it on your phone along with some music that is close to your heart, go out and just try to make something out of that »
