e s p e r p e n t o #33 w/ Mike Tansella Jr & Rawmance

The first mix is an authentic excursus by Mike from Sons of Traders meant to tell a narrative of inspiring music pieces from UR to LIES Records News and The Black Lodge late stomp tracks, crossing psychedelic and punk rock transitional stages.

In the second part the Parisian born and Rome-based label owner of La Beauté Du Négatif and hiroshima45 | chernobyl86 | windows95 combines in an ecstatic crescendo synth-wave and cold wave tracks, including treasures from Cult Club on Domestica Records and a Front 242 chef-d'oeuvre for a retro flavour trip.

e s p e r p e n t o #35 // RM (live)
The 35th e s p e r p e n t o broadcasted on Threads Radio (London) on Tuesday 27th April 2021 is entirely curated by Riccardo Mazza and Matteo Castro, sound-carvers behind the Vittorio Veneto based noise / musique concrete duo Lettera 22.

Riccardo Mazza (ex member of Lago Morto, Meanlover and A Flower Kollapsed) strays into abstract elements, downtempo and IDM under the moniker RM, rediscovering old and new / unreleased material through a multifaceted live set.

Matteo Castro, also known as Kam Hassah, Endless Sea and Mercury Hall besides being the Second Sleep imprint founder, takes care of the artwork continuing the series of metamorphic collages.

e s p e r p e n t o #35 // RM (live)

The 36th e s p e r p e n t o unveils another live premiere this time hailing from Moscow.

Mangled sounds, broken and acid fragments constantly emerge and fade away in a circular pattern which reflects Stas Zavyalov’ approach to music production.
His music releases as DJ VST on BURACO and Dead Channel Records infact can be defined as slices of solid jam sessions.

itolo : e s p e r p e n t o #37 // SHINOBY

The 37th e s p e r p e n t o ventures new mutant realms, steered and controlled by the ISTHEWAY imprint founder Omar Contri as Shinoby.

Blistering, gritty and uncategorized - hidden music pieces depict a grim scenario, a mirror of what has recently gone wrong in daily life. Finding a meaning is currently difficult, but this mix could be seen as an attempt to struggle toward enlightenment.

e s p e r p e n t o #37 // SHINOBY

The 38th e s p e r p e n t o is some kind of an extended futuristic cerimonial performed for the 4th anniversary of this project.

The first part is introduced by Leone from the Milan based duo Train To Eltanin with a brand new live set: a certain emotion and a creative flair lie inside these hypnotic and chaotic atmospheres, including unreleased material beside Claudio Fedele, Andrea Miragica and Eltanin.

This sonic experience comes full circle with “Paesaggi Marziani” (“Martian Landscapes”), a selection recorded in June 2018 by Antonio Marini aka Healing Force Project to cross uncharted territories, rarefied perceptions and future horizons.

e s p e r p e n t o #29 w/ MARMO (live) & Sons of Traders
The 29th e s p e r p e n t o is split in two sections for a special extended episode after a refreshing Summer Break: the first hour is delivered by the italian duo Marmo, with a live set shaped and recorded half in London and half in Bologna (Italy), while on the second hour, a stark and raw mix dropped by the Berlin-based italian duo Sons Of Traders will close this sonic exploration. 
Khemia, Ways to Die Records and Metempsychosis Records are some of the labels where Christian Duka & Marco Maldarella have persued their persistent research in electronic music which doesn’t acknowledge any creative limits but marks this live set full of EBM echoes and mesmerizing variations. Every barrier is torn down on the second part: raw and acid sounds, techno, experimental music and hip-hop influences are combined in a dynamic sequence by the Sons of Traders, a music project and label born in Berlin thanks to the harmony between two cousins from Bari. TANS and Mike Tansella Jr. have released music on Up North Records, Acero, Vastechoses, The Black Lodge and Clan Destine Records, and they are also curators of “Sons Of Traders Takeover” on Mutant Radio Tbilisi.
Tonight 22:30 - 00:30 (CEST) on Threads Radio.

e s p e r p e n t o #32 w/ Visceras & Non Punire

The 32nd e s p e r p e n t o is the last episode of this dark 2020, a long trip through industrial, tribal, wavy sounds and obscure slow dub music.
This extended episode is introduced by the Berlin based music producer Visceras with a mix characterized by a sequence of noise-industrial tapes’ rips and pre-recorded synth riffs.

The second hour is handled by Franco St, member of the Bogotà based duo Vltra Delta Drive, under the moniker Non Punire. This selection fits perfectly with the first part of the episode and its spooky atmosphere, a mixture of wavy and dark slow rhythms.
