XDB at Outro Lado - Waking Life '23

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

The Little Finger Show - Nick Höppner & Alex Kassian - 15 Oct 2024

Spring has sprung, and after a small three-year hiatus, it’s the perfect moment for another Marginal Mix. 

We first met Jack D years ago in Birmingham, where his affable hosting was the highlight of a less than successful party. Since pitched up in Berlin, Jack is a familiar face on dance floors across the city, and increasingly behind the decks cross continents. He’s gifted us his first ‘house’ mix in half a decade - as ever, good things come to those who wait.

Session 023 - Bassie

Bassie is the known owner of Amplitude Records, the infamous records store in The Hague. In his hours and hours of listening and playing vinyl in the store and at home, he made this beautiful selection of downtempo gems. Besides the record store, Bassie co-founded Elastic The Hague, a collective that indulges in organising events. We are very grateful for our friendship and collaboration and are excited for the future!

Giving this Italo Disco classic a deeper touch

Pino D'angiò - Ma Quale Idea (Max Foley Edit)

Kyiv-based Mikhail Ilyushchenko, known to the entire Ukrainian underground under the aliases @luschn1 and IV Mickey, has been an integral part of the capital's electronic scene for more than a decade. Luschn is a true universal soldier of the music world, confidently working on the fringe of many styles. His sound is full of playful motifs intertwined with complex compositional canvases. It's also about depth, drama, multilayered senses, sounds, and harmonies. Everyone will find something there. And even if they lose it, the artist will always immediately put another record on the deck.
Stay Rave with #R13!
