Soft Spots | Echobox Radio

Big thanks to @thara-bergen for dropping in to the studio and sharing her Soft Spot for 'music she never gets to play in a club'. 

Also Onitsown from @locked-in-dam came by for the last hour for an impromptu b2b2b. Thudding peak time fodder for the final 90mins or so.

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.

Ma.to is no stranger in the underground scene. Founder and artist of Outer Place Records – there is a good chance that you’ve already danced to his music productions and you weren’t aware of it. He recently relocated to London from his previous base which was Berlin. 

We welcomed him to our home city with a blast - here is the recording from his set at Fold when we took over the warehouse for an all day long journey in East London.

Ma.to combines elements from the 90s House and Techno in a modern minimalistic sound, which allows you to see the trends of the 90s in the language of contemporary electronic music. No wonder that his perception and radical conception about being a musician was influenced by the classical and intense formation he received since he was six years old.

Moving and living from Rome to Berlin in 2012 formed the character and musical influence of Ma.to's production and selection. Shaping the sound of his events in Hoppetosse and Club Der Visionäre, Outer Place and also leading to the Record Label project involving music from him and artists or friends around the globe.
