Markus Suckut - Turn On

art:cast °184 | Baldov

Some artists make noise. Others listen first - then carve out their own frequency in the quiet spaces between a kick drum and a sunrise. Baldov, real name Théo Bertat, has spent the last decade threading himself through the undercurrents of Europe’s vinyl culture. As a co-founder of Undergroove Records, half of the duo Wave Catchers, and a familiar presence behind the booth and in the bins, the Paris-based DJ and producer carries an energy that’s patient but insistent — always pushing for connection over spectacle.

Whether he’s shaping warm minimal grooves for labels like LEGRAM VG & Rubber Ducky or sketching new sound maps alongside Heimyl the Lazer Man, Baldov’s mission is clear: keep it intimate, keep it human, and above all, keep it honest. He’s the kind of selector who still believes a DJ is there to serve the moment, not steal it - a mindset that naturally flows into his new partnership with Headliner, where design, sound and respect for the craft matter as much as the party itself.

In this conversation, he opens up about the story behind the Baldov name, how a broken arm and a bike crash gave birth to new music, why the art of the long set is sacred, what his dream DJ mixer might look like, and what a perfect night could be when you strip it all back to what really counts: records, connection, and the magic that happens when the needle drops - and nobody wants to leave.

*BCCO PRIDE 2025"

Queer rights are being rolled back—from book bans in the US to Pride bans in Hungary and anti-trans laws in the UK— it’s never been more urgent to be LOUD in our support. Show your support by reposting this set on SoundCloud, it’s just one click.

For Week 4 of our 5 weeks of Pride colabs, we are in our home town of Berlin with Buttons. Opening this special week is their resident @alisonswing with an all-vinyl mix.

Alison Swing is a DJ with a natural, honest style shaped by her roots in the LA warehouse scene. As co-founder of Dig Deeper, her parties and sets helped shape a decade of underground dance music in downtown Los Angeles. Since relocating to Berlin seven years ago, she’s become a regular at some of the city’s most exciting events, including her debut at Panorama Bar and a residency at Buttons. With a warm, uplifting sound and a keen ear for tracks that connect, she’s played over 30 countries, bringing her joyful take on club music to dance floors around the world.

This mix was recorded at her flat in Kreuzberg on a sunny morning before the summer heat kicked in. It features a bunch of new records picked up during recent crate-digging trips to Japan, Mexico and New York. It’s a playful, sassy selection, full of the quirky energy that reminds her of Buttons – and the freedom to be completely herself on the dance floor.

BCCO Mix Series 639: Alison Swing | BCCO x Buttons for PRIDE 2025

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-som-1-akua

French imprint AWO tee off their release schedule with ‘Akua‘, a new single from Montpellier-based production duo SOM.1...Clocking in at 135 BPM, 'Akua' simmers with dark textures and mutant breaks. Peppered with 90s hip-hop vocals, a tightly-coiled arrangement of terse breaks skitters over an ominous fog. Floating amidst cyber-fuelled ceremony and UK bass futurism, ‘Akua’ is music for the dance.

The monthly show hosted by @katharina-davids is returning with guest Ray Bennett aka @mon-ohmon

Ray Bennett’s sound is rooted in his love for South African electronic music, enriched by a broad range of international influences. He skillfully fuses these elements into a distinctive musical language, marked by a rhythmic swing and emotional depth that set him apart in the electronic scene. His releases on his own label, Sonecy, and the local imprint City Bowl Wax Network highlight his creative range and dedication to craft. With each track, Ray invites listeners into a world that is both deeply personal and globally resonant.

'Spinning Grounds' is all about opening grounds - for both newcomers and experienced selectors alike - to spin music outside of club spaces to explore a wide range of genres from house, Detroit, deep house, dub house, ambient, breaks, UK garage, minimal, dub techno to .......

Spinning Grounds w/ Ray Bennett @THF Radio, 05/06/25

We are back again with another edit from @jabba-2-3 who has been deejaying for over three decades. Holding the residencies at the "moon" indie raves and the Rennes "made.festival". He has chosen to edit the cult classic  from Coldcut feat Yazz and the plastic population "Doctorin' the house"  from 1988 that we could not resist.  

Why is the song important? Coldcut is a British electronic music duo formed by Matt Black and Jonathan More. Pioneers of sample-based music and remix culture in the UK. Coldcut were among the first producers to treat sampling as an art form. They didn’t just loop beats—they layered samples from TV, movies, spoken word, and other records to build complex sonic collages. Founders of Ninja Tune, an influential independent record label that has shaped not only UK underground scene but an entire generation and beyond. 

At a time when house music was still largely underground and centered in Chicago, Doctorin' the House was one of the first UK tracks to fuse house rhythms with British pop and hip-hop sensibilities.

It helped popularize house music in the UK and Europe, setting the stage for the Second Summer of Love (1988-89) and the UK rave scene. 

Doctorin' the House showcased how sampling could be playful, political, and danceable, all at once.

In his own words...
I chose to edit this 1988 track because it was one of the first tracks (which I found so bizarre at the time) that introduced me to house music and later acid house. And I love this sample-driven style.

MOVE TRAX, label forged from Tokyo's event series MOVE ムーブ that since 2022 has consistently showcased in Asia pivotal figures in electronic music scene such as Alex Neri, Fantastic Man, Massimiliano Pagliara, Liquid Earth, Chloé Caillet, Bradley Zero, Secretsundaze, Giammarco Orsini, Gonno, Known Artist, proudly unveils its inaugural release: TOKYO LIPSTICK. This sonic odyssey is crafted by the label's Italian-born, Tokyo-resident founder, Al Jones, who masterfully synthesizes the sun-drenched euphoria of '90s Mediterranean sounds with the kaleidoscopic dynamism of his Japanese sojourn. From the futuristic synthscapes reminiscent of classic video games to the pulsating vocal tapestry of Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the world's most vibrant intersection, Al Jones distills disparate influences into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Supporting this seminal debut are remixes from Berlin-based UK artist Running Hot, renowned for his distinctive contributions to esteemed labels such as Love On The Rocks (LOTR), Certain Music Records, and Permanent Vacation. Complementing this, rising Japanese talent Paperkraft, hailing from Osaka, brings a fresh perspective, building significant momentum from the Land of the Rising Sun with releases on Physical Education and HOMAGE Records with his tracks remixed by Aldonna and Aiden Francis.

Circular Motion

Mexican label Duro Label is preparing for a new sonic journey with the return of one of its most cherished figures, Madrid's Álvaro Cabana. His new EP, "Indian Prototype", is an exploration of rhythms rooted in the wisdom of groove and the most influential sounds of the nineties and two thousands, without yielding an ounce to nostalgia.

Álvaro Cabana, an active figure in the Madrid electronic scene since the late '90s and owner of the Rotten City label (home to artists like Red Axes, Curses, Eden Burns, and DC Salas), delivers an EP that stands as a testament to his fidelity to his roots and his constant evolution.

The journey kicks off with "Proto", a track imbued with an early progressive essence. Deep basslines intertwine with expansive melodies and solid rhythms, creating psychedelic atmospheres that invite you into an introspective, mysterious, and energetic dance.

Following this is "Tipo", a subtle nod to Underworld. Here, acidic and resonant synthesizers take over the dancefloor, propelled by drums and rhythms designed to unleash euphoria. Lysergic vocals add a hypnotic layer, further immersing you in its danceable energy.

Finally, the EP culminates with "India In Us (UK Mix)", a powerful collaboration with his Argentine compadre residing in Bogotá, Julian Sanza (half of legendary projects like Silver City and 2020 Vision Soundsystem). This track is an ode to more "UK" and "two-thousands" sonorities, featuring booming basslines and frenetic melodies that invite total surrender on the dancefloor.

"Indian Prototype" is a statement of intent from Álvaro Cabana, a release crafted for DJs, diggers, and lovers of the rave sound.

Out now on vinyl & digital release - https://lnk.to/RSPX09

Little is known about mysterious producer SP-X. After a string of quality releases on Komisch, Time To Express, and PROJEKTS, the Brussels-based artist has garnered a strong following for his rolling techno sound. The enigmatic producer now joins Matt Edwards’ Rekids Special Projects roster, following on from releases by DJ Spider, Jon Hester, DJ Deep, FBK and Dustin Zahn among others. 

An amalgamation of metallic hits, powerful drums and plucky arpeggios commence the package in ‘Dystopian Lotus’ before the fast paced ‘Breaths Of Separation’ offers a rumbling low-end, frenzied atmospherics and cosmic chords. 

‘The Orbiter’ delivers distorted top lines and a thundering kick on the flip, backed by mysterious sirens and resonant synth blips until the package rounds off with ‘Desire Of Invisibility’, a high-octane finish with sharp, organic percussion and a vacillating sub alongside stereo delayed stabs.

Rekids regular Markus Suckut drops his third album entitled ‘Heaven Is A State Of Mind’ this September. 

"This album is dedicated to my mother - I will always carry you with me to show you the world. See you again in a better place.”

When not helming his own imprints, SCKT and Pattern Research, the Düsseldorf artist has been releasing on Rekids since 2015 and is now a core member of the label’s family. Earlier this year saw the arrival of ‘New Life EP’, a mesmerising release exemplary of the producer’s knack for making imaginative house and techno complete with a compelling groove. No stranger to the long player format having released two albums previously, Markus Suckut returns to Radio Slave’s label with a quality eleven track album. 

From the word go Suckut’s album demonstrates his versatility as a musician, initiating with a beatless intro named ‘Escape’, before ‘Breeze’ comes into play with its skipping percussion and loopy atmospherics. Crunchy snares and crystalline synths make up ‘Sun’s Out’ whilst ‘Future Is Not Always Bright’ drives forward with its sultry low-end, ethereal pads and sci-fi bleeps, leading into ‘Take A Break’ and its medley of elaborate drums, living up to its name. 

‘Above The Clouds’ is comprised of intricate notes and soothing chords whilst the machinelike ‘Orchid’ features electro inspired melodies, contrasting to the album’s title track, ‘Heaven Is A State Of Mind’, with its bumpy bass and warping textures. ‘Wonderland (Version)’ is a ghostly acid cut, moving into the syncopated and ominous ‘We Will All Disappear One Day’ and its purring bassline until a moody two-step number entitled ‘Death Is Not Final’ ties it all together with twisted sequences and trippy effects.
