Live from the Village - Âme

People usually talk about Berlin, London, New York when discussing electronic music hotspots, and Paris doesn't always get its due. Case in point? It produced Jennifer Cardini, one of the most distinctive DJs to to ever come out of the city. (She's lived in Germany for a while, but the point stands.) Her sound lands somewhere between disco, house and EBM, rooted in a groovy, post-modern chug. You'll hear nu-disco, industrial, techno and electro too, usually built around big hooks. It's a sound that is not only instantly recognizable, but instantly likable.

As a producer, Cardini also deserves her flowers. She's been putting out records since the mid-'90s, and with her first label Correspondant, she's built up a rock-solid catalogue from artists like Fort Romeau, Man Power, Cormac and more. More recently she started the Dischi Autunno imprint, a place for more crossover-friendly music that indulges Cardini's tastes for all things melodic (and maybe a little goth).

Cardini's RA Podcast is a beautiful summary of all these ideas and influences. It's hard and banging, sure, but also lithe and athletic. There are plenty of tracks with the surge of EBM or the stab of industrial. Lots of reverb. Decadent melodies undergirded by tough drum patterns. And it's paced as expertly as you'd expect from someone who's been DJing for over 30 years. In the interview below, Cardini says she "loves how the young generation is digesting four decades of club / rave culture," and you can hear that history living and breathing in Cardini's DJing, too.

90s and 2000s Wax Only! DJ ______ is all about electronic music from the 90s and early 2000s that has stood the test of time. As co-founder of Studio illegale, a record store that has been firmly established in Bremen since 2019, he has persistently built up a record collection of almost forgotten and at the same time well-aged music, which DJ ______ would now love to share with you.

For his current mix for Turnland Records, DJ ______ has selected records that capture the autumnal mood. He has mixed techy and dubby material, as he sees autumn as a dub version of summer.

For the first podcast, Relictronica welcomes we.amps, the Italian duo from Varese who have been shaping the underground with their dynamic fusion of House and Techno. From their roots as resident DJs at This is not party to sharing decks with legends like Massimiliano Pagliara, Jackmaster, and Paranoid London, Andrea Cavani and Fabio Dall’Oglio have honed a sound that’s raw, hypnotic, and deeply analog-driven.

Their journey has taken them from Afro Acid to Solenoid Records, from Hör Radio to Golden Gate, and in 2024, to the legendary Panorama Bar. Now, they open the first chapter of Relictronica Transmission, delivering a mix that channels their signature acid, old-school, and disco-infused energy.

PREMIERE: Guzy & Nairo - Circles [Radikon]

For our May 2025 episode, Relictronica welcomes Madalba, a name that embodies integrity, intensity, and deep connection to the cultural and political roots of techno.

Born in Bari, Italy, Madalba’s musical interests ranged from punk and rock to house and techno from an early age. She made her club debut at 22 and quickly became a regular in Bari’s scene. In 2011, she moved to Berlin and began DJing exclusively with vinyl, marking the beginning of a more radical and intentional approach to sound.

That same year, she spent a formative month in Detroit, collaborating with DJ Seoul, Tom, and Angie Linder of Detroit Techno Militia. The experience profoundly reshaped her understanding of techno—not just as a genre, but as a social, political, and aesthetic force.

Back in Berlin, she immersed herself in the blooming queer scene, building a network grounded in mutual support and collaboration. Over the years, this connection deepened, as did her role in the city’s underground. Her path led her to residencies at queer institutions like Buttons and its predecessor Homopatik, along with appearances at RSO, SchwuZ, SO36, Berghain, and ultimately Tresor, where she now holds a residency.

Alongside her career as a DJ, Madalba has pursued her profession as a trauma surgeon—a powerful, often invisible role in a male-dominated field—which further sharpened her awareness of her position as a woman navigating complex systems.

With time, she became increasingly conscious of DJing as a form of communication—an act not just of performance, but of building community and expressing values: mutual solidarity, counter-cultural autonomy, and radical respect for diversity and individual expression.

Her first vinyl releases came out in 2014 on DTM-Label (Detroit) and Arkita Records (Berlin), which she co-founded with Synkopheit. In 2017, she launched her own imprint, Future Déjà Vu, with releases from artists such as Transient X4, Ken Karter, Mannella a.k.a. DHARAXT, Phontonz & Shcuro, Rage Therapy, and Bertrand.

Known for her propulsive, percussive sound, hypnotic mixing, and ability to fuse the primordial with the futuristic, Madalba’s sets are immersive journeys that challenge time, structure, and perception.

With deep respect, we welcome her to Relictronica.

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 | Mix June 2025

Next up in the Bassiani series comes British talent Andy Luff. With London’s growing commercialisation and NIMBY-style aversion to creative pursuits, it’s a mark of great mettle to have carved out a flourishing space on its turf, but Andy and his crew has exactly succeeded in doing this. Their bootleg and off-the-cuff raves began as a guestlist only set up, bringing together friends and their friends for events where the DJs and quality soundsystems took centre stage. And it all seems to have struck the right chord: growing slowly but steadily, with Andy now living in Amsterdam, he has taken picnics signature sound to the Dutch capital where the events are flourishing, now in its second decade and with a long-standing collaboration with London superclub Fabric and Amsterdams uniquely intimate Bret, their format is something much needed in keeping the European hotspots raving into the coming years. Picnic is still much focused on throwing some of the best parties in town, and now putting out records under their homonymous label. The imprint and Andy’s benchmark, an ice-cool mix of progressive house, electro and trance, perky beats with a confident bent, unpretentious sounds for a fun night’s dancing. Sometimes it’s really that simple. On the 7th of March, Andy brought a taste of his sound to Tbilisi with a banger set at Horoom and this one’s a live recording from the night. Andy fuses retro synthwork and wobbly percussions to fun effect. Misty-eyed melodies and infectious bass lines from this eclectic supplier of good times out are ever present in this recording. A scintillating first appearance and hopefully the first of many.

New Rave Nation - Monty Luke - 25 Jun 2025

For the July 2025 episode, Relictronica welcomes Jana Falcon, a DJ, producer, BRENN resident, and former vinyl cutting engineer based in Berlin.

Raised near Frankfurt during the golden age of Euro Dance, UK Garage, and 2 Step, Jana brings a deep and instinctive understanding of rhythm, sonic detail, and emotional flow. After relocating to Berlin in 2011, she fully immersed herself in the city’s electronic music culture, developing a unique voice as both a producer and a DJ.

Her sets are a timeless fusion, from 90s House to modern, synth-driven grooves, from Garage and 2 Step to deeper, disco-infused rhythms. What holds everything together is her personal touch — precise, engaging, and unmistakable.

This mix is no exception. It pulses with the same energy Jana brings to every booth — vibrant, generous, and filled with the quiet joy of someone who knows the record before it plays.

We’re proud to host a set that looks ahead without forgetting where we come from.
A tribute to the dance floor, and the freedom it gives.

Jana Falcon for Relictronica.

🖤 You are beautiful.

Jana Falcon | Mix July 2025

For the August 2025 episode, Relictronica welcomes Banu, a DJ, electronic music producer and sound artist based in Berlin.

Growing up in South Eastern Turkey within the underground rave scene, Banu developed a distinct approach to mixing, shaped by her background in music, sound art installations and research. She specializes in composing with analog synthesizers, versatile and groovy, and uses sound design as a way to blur the boundaries between music and sound art.

Her sets are immersive journeys, filled with deep grooves, textured layers and transitions that carry both political and emotional weight. She believes in the transformative power of music, using it as a tool for empowerment and connection, with a focus on BIPOC and LGBTQI+ communities.

This mix is no exception. It moves between hypnotic rhythm and uncanny sonic detail, a space where the dance floor becomes both a refuge and a statement.

Banu for Relictronica.

Exclusive mix by @massimilianopagliara
Passionate about psychedelic house and extravagant Italo disco, Massimiliano Pagliara is a man of refined taste when it comes to dance music. Trained in contemporary choreography in Milan, he later moved to Berlin, where his exploration of underground clubs gradually made him a key figure in the scene. His eclectic and atmospheric style shines both on the dancefloor and in his productions, whether solo or in collaboration (The Rimshooters with Rotciv, Banana Moon with Luigi Di Venere, Couple Looking with Chris Cruse, and Couple Looking For Bananas a 3-way with Chris and Luigi). Resident of Panorama Bar, he has just released a new album on his own label together with his friend Gian, under their alias Hidden Frequencies. At the same time, he is preparing a retrospective compilation to celebrate his 20-year career, scheduled for next year, along with new releases on Funnuvojere Records.
