For the June 2025 episode, Relictronica welcomes Mike Starr, a British-born, Berlin-based artist whose career spans more than two decades of precision, soul, and deep-rooted sonic storytelling.

A regular presence at Berghain / Panorama Bar, Tresor, RSO, and Heideglühen, Mike is a key figure in Berlin’s nightlife and far beyond — with sets that have moved dance floors from Bassiani, The Cause, and De School, to Funk Club Mexico City, Signal NYC, and Hi Ibiza.

His sound is a living dialogue between 808 electro, NY disco, Detroit techno, and UK tech house — always personal, always in motion. With a distinctive sense of rhythm and space, Mike’s sets carry weight, warmth, and a quiet authority that refuses excess while inviting full immersion.

We’re proud to host a mix that connects eras, continents, and communities — all through groove.

Mike Starr for Relictronica.
Now streaming on SoundCloud.
🖤 You are beautiful.

DJ and Producer 
Part of Club Cultura Collective.

Relictronica is a space devoted to the purest forms of techno and house, a project born to experience underground music as culture, connection, and freedom.

From Berlin’s beating heart to clubs across the globe, Relictronica showcases artists with a radical and honest approach: respect for the dancefloor, depth of sound, and a forward-thinking vision.

Relictronica is podcast, clubbing, community.
A shared language, a collective act.

You are beautiful 🌹

Is a bit of thumpin, bumpin, groovy house too much to ask for?

Not a producer but deeply in love with music. 
If I was I'd call myself DJ Pillpress and my alter-ego
would be Thought Termination

CHEEKY DANCEFLOOR WORK-OUTS AND EMOTIONAL LISTENING SESSIONS

James Lotion’s sets are as much for the body as for the mind and take you on a journey of changing energies, wild selections, and ecstatic melodies. 

He loves to tease and please the dance floor with a mix of house, techno, and other adventurous club sounds that are playful, sexy, high-energy, and unapologetically queer.
