RoCast 2

Rødig - один из самых желанных гостей @molokolooza. Будучи приверженцем электронных жанров от techno и breaks/electro до house, заигрывает с акустикой джаза и фанка. Мечтает, что мог бы родиться в Детройте 80-90х, на которые пришелся расцвет олдскульного техно.
Арист устраивает каждый месяц вечеринки в Женеве вместе с своим коллективом OTIUM DISTRICT. Также является соучредителем лейбла OTIUM RECORDS: к концу 2022 года планируется выпуск первого VA (сборника артистов).
Для Лоика хорошая история - это как грув: она должна быть захватывающей и придавать ритмичность. В его списке главных приоритетов в музыке позиции от 1 до 1000 - это дать своей музыке грув, а вторая тысяча - это поделиться настоящими эмоциями, всегда позитивными, заводящими, трогательными, как и его музыка.
--
Rødig one of the most welcome guests of @molokolooza.
Preacher of electronic genres ranging from techno, breaks/electro to house, Rødig also vibrates on the acoustic side with Jazz and Funk. If he had to be born in another time in life and somewhere else, it would have been in Detroit in the 80’s - 90’s era where old school techno was at its finest.
To him, a good story is like groove. It needs to be catchy not to be boring like groove makes a track catchy and gives it rhythm. N°1 to N°1000 priorities in Rødig’s music are to give a strong sense of groove, the next thousand are to share a real emotion. Always keeping it fun, funky, or touching. That will be for sure what you’ll find in this mix or in his productions.
As a party enthusiast, Rødig also organises monthly party in Geneva (Switzerland) with his collective OTIUM DISTRICT. Additionally, he co-directs the label OTIUM RECORDS, with which is planned a big VA for the end of 2022, and the beginning of a sub-catalogue oriented towards, straight-forward and groovy techno tracks dedicated for DJs.

We Are Not Only 17: Rødig

RØDIG – Fresh Thoughts [92Groovz]

From music to artwork, Berlin-based artist Rødig showcases his first solo EP - Blue Thinker.
Using groove as the essence of this self-made project, Blue Thinker shines as a fun and moody four tracks album dedicated to pensive minds and happy souls. Combining pure simplistic and dub melodic techno with fast glitchy electro/breaks. It makes this album a go-to for electronic music enthusiasts, listeners or dancefloor freaks.
Idealistically, Blue Thinker gives the listener an insight into one’s channel of thoughts rhythmed through time. Starting with ‘’Blue Thinker’’, he delivers a profound track helping listeners delve into their nostalgia induced state bringing back acute memories of some of life’s most sweet fleeting moments.
‘’Welkins’’ is a more positivity-infused track. From its direct meaning (Welkin = the vault of the sky: FIRMAMENT), daydreaming vibes at its very core.
‘’Solutionist’’ is the down-to-earth track of this album, providing an avid tool for DJs suitable for controlling their sets.
Closing this musical story, ‘’Fresh Thought’’ brings up one of the styles that inspires this artist.Rødig allows you to dive into his creative world with the cover, a self-made painting directly inspired by these four tracks.
Lastly some words from myself - its been a true pleasure putting this release together with Loic aka RØDIG. Someone I've had the pleasure of bonding with over the last few years, specifically over music and our love for particularly soulful, motown, blues based tunes - as well as full delerium inducing millenium throwback pumpers from the big beat scene.
Hope you guys love this as much as we loved putting it together! And a massive shout out to UrbnMowgli and Stahel for showcasing their remixes entrenched in the styles they work so hard to consistently develop and advance. Hoping we see more of them too in the future!

Rødig - Rough Ghosts [SHO001]

Dive into the beats with RØDIG in this week's SweetCast! 🎶 
From a cozy corner in the French part of Switzerland, RØDIG's journey into the world of decks began 8 years ago at a house party, equipped with a Traktor mixer. At just 17, he thereafter dived headfirst into the world of vinyl, acquiring turntables and a mixer, marking the beginning of his life as a disc spinner.
Supported by his friend and musical mentor, Chlär (aka "daddy" to RØDIG), our artist has been fine-tuning his production skills and deck wizardry ever since. While Chlär remains an inspiration for his musical development, RØDIG adds names like Alarico, Fireground, Annē, TheLoopmasters, Vil, Cravo, Stranger, and Stef Mendesidis to the list, naming his current favorite DJs as the “legendery Irish Gs” DJ Frequency and DJ Speed with their “sexy selection of tracks”. 
Part of the Swiss collective Otium District for over 5 years, RØDIG also co-runs Otium Records and manages his own label, Shojiki Records. With origins in Germany's groundbreaking Ilian Tape and influences from techno legends like Ben Klock, RØDIG now looks up to the unique sonic palettes of Samuel L. Session, Justin Berkovi, The Advent, Skee Mask, and Zenker Brothers for inspiration for his jams ranging from old-school to Funk-infused and minimalistic Techno, staying true to the groove that fuels his passion. 
Having graced the decks at venues like Geneva’s Le Zoo and La Gravière, Paris’ KM25 and Glazart, and Berlin’s Aeden, RØDIG is all about bringing the fun to your night with dynamic sets that unfold a musical story. Join him on this sonic journey and discover new sounds that will elevate your vibes!

Nans? & Rødig - Susuwatari EP [SHO002]

From their long-awaited reunion and passion for music emanated Susuwatari EP, a search for new horizons and musical adventures.
