Soft Spots | Echobox Radio

Very excited to feature a really special new mix by an old friend from Milan, Gabriele (Sunny Crypt) collects records, occasionally enjoys playing weird music to dancing crowds and also spends some of his happiest days working in a record shop. 
Driven by a strong curiosity towards a wide range of musical genres coming from different eras and different cultural contexts, in a previous life he’s been a resident DJ at Milan’s Dude Club, a true institution for italian clubbing during the last decade. Open you hearts <3

For this month's show we decided to dedicate the full two hours to tracks exclusively from Japanese artists. The first 45 is a meandering journey through ambient, soft piano chords, dub and Japanese pop, before Lou jumps in and shares her soft spot for Japanese animation movies and anime, highlighting the musical diversity that comes through in their soundtracks. It's a lesson in itself! For the final 30 Lou lets loose and explores more percussive club sounds, breaks and footwork.

Mantissa Mix 312: Tom Allman

“This is the first mix I’ve put out for a while, and I really enjoyed getting back into the process of finding what works. This is an amalgamation of a bunch of new finds, and some tracks sent across from friends that I’ve been digging - aimed at emulating that time of moving from the warm up into the main event.”

Malom hits the box for the latest Soft Spots, showing off his love for reggae and roots. Pure sunshine music to close out the summer or to brighten up a rainy day. Seb then finishes with a nice mix of house groovers. I do the warm up with some 100bpm chug & dub. It's a lovely show, filled with good vibes and tons of different styles of music - exactly what soft spots is all about :)

Slovenia's finest are in the building for the latest Soft Spots!

DJ couple Nika & Martin, have been digging dope records together for the best part of 15 years, so it was a real pleasure to have them share a special soft spot theme - focusing on music that represents key moments of their relationship over the years. The records are killer and the stories make ya heart warm - what's not to like! 

I keep things very downtempo and experimental for the first 45 with a selection of slow jams from all around the globe.

For the last show of the 2023 top gizza, koen.fm, joins me in the studio. He shares a Soft Spot focusing on the music he plays in the classroom during his day job as a school teacher. There's some funny and heart warming stories in there, including highly rated song suggestions from an 8yr old and Koen sharing music that actually makes plants grow (true story!!).

The whole two hours is a subtle ride through ambient, triphop, ethereal instrumentals and all round downtempo goodness to sooth the soul.

Jack Darwin, Breathe Records top boy, joins RTD in the studio for the first Soft Spots of 2024. He shares music around the theme of Nostalgia, taking a trip down memory lane and sharing some musical stories along the way. Expect lots of odd-ball downbeat, late 80s UK elecontronica and plenty of silly chatter from the both of us.

For the latest Softs Spots show we welcome the lovely @adren_alina to the studio, whilst visiting from Berlin. She runs the wicked @smoovemoceanrec label along with her partner @atree-music. Alina shared a soft spot focusing on some of her favourite female artists from the late 80s and 90s. Expect synth fused house, funk pumpers and plenty of interesting stories behind her selection. Super happy to have her in the studio, she is a cracking DJ with impeccable taste!

Tony Fairchild (owner of Is / Was)

"After buying a house with my gf in early 2019 I told myself I’d have to stop buying records for a year or two until we built our savings back up. This was obviously quite the deluded sentiment in retrospect. Countless moments of weakness and ‘exceptions’ later, I shifted my strategy toward ignoring all the $40 hypebeast-bait records on Discogs and letting frugality be the guiding spirit for all future grips. In other words: cheap records only. Since then, I’ve come across more excellent, surprising and refreshing records than any other period of digging I can recall. Bonus: it kicked me out of the human-centipede of ‘digger’ culture and led me toward more unique sounds than those en vogue or that I would have previously played. This mix is a showcase of some of the frugal grippos."
