Raised in the heart of the Balearic homeland, Dj Aficionado cruises in at the right moment with an appropriately sun kissed selection. Currently based in Berlin, he has found a cosy corner on Refuge Worldwide where he regularly rides the waves with his show Francachela. Pathing his way through the nightlife, he pushes big-room Balearic sounds around town with Orbita, a freshly minted party he runs alongside Llupe. Recorded in a free flowing manner this offering includes Downtempo, Street Soul, Italo and more to wash down an afternoon Cava and bring in that sunset you’ve been waiting for.

LIFE CLASSICS 67 DJ AFICIONADO

Um set gravado traz desafios diferentes de um set ao vivo. Uma gravação é premeditada, técnica, com começo, meio e fim com o fim em si mesmo. E a intenção não vem da troca com o público, mas do dialogo consigo mesmo. Nessa busca, eu percebi que tinha escolhido muitas músicas que, de alguma forma, falavam sobre a água. Para a nossa sorte, o Brasil e a água são indissociáveis. Ambos são fluidez, movimento, vida e sentimento. E essa foi uma forma que encontrei de canalizar meu sentimento com o Brasil que, apesar de distante, segue fluindo em mim.

Espero que gostem dessa mistura de águas e terras, presente e passado, azuis, verdes e amarelos.

A recorded mix presents different challenges from a live set. A recording is premeditated, technical, with a beginning, middle, and end that exist for their own sake. The intention doesn’t come from an exchange with the audience but from an inner dialogue.

In this search, I realized I had chosen many songs that, in some way, spoke about water. Fortunately for us, Brazil and water are inseparable. Both embody fluidity, movement, life, and emotion. This became my way of channeling my connection with Brazil, which, despite the distance, continues to flow within me.

I hope you enjoy this blend of waters and lands, present and past, blues, greens, and yellows.

Membre du collectif Früor à Bordeaux, Pucelle aime sautiller d'un univers à un autre, allant du breakbeat, au deconstructed club en passant par la dnb ou le hardcore. A travers Broken Bass Ritual, elle propose un voyage sonore où fusionnent breaks effrénés, grosse drum&bass saturée, trance de farfadet, hardcore féérique et autres rythmes expérimentaux où les basses se tordent et se distordent en un rythme éprouvant, endiablé

Eclecticist feat. Sulaiman Gaye-Clarke - 18 June 2025

A very special show this month, as we welcome EVM128 and Matica – two artists who have been a huge inspiration for Blue Soup from day one.

Ahead of their headline set at Blue Soup, we jumped into the radio studio for a chat and a mix. We spoke to them about broken beat and Dance Regular, the label run by EVM128 that has brought us so much amazing music. 

In hour two, hold tight as EVM128 and Matica go b2b, throwing down everything from bruk classics to fresh cuts to dubplates that have never seen the light of day!

Big up all the artists featured and a massive thank you to EVM128 and Matica for making the trip to Notts and blessing the dance with us.
