17 marks the number of our next RCP episode featuring a precocious Slovenian artist who with only 20 years of age has already an admirable trajectory which continues to grow steadily. His palette is wide and tasteful with just the right amount of everything, embracing all sub-genres from techno, and house to dub techno, and minimal under two aliases, KINN and TwoNones (Two Unknowns). KINN'S restless creative spirit has led him to create his own productions which have been released by underground labels all over the world such as Nada Espacial and Traza Music and his unwavering passion prompted him to conceive his own vision through a podcast label called MAVRICA, which is quickly earning itself a reputation of being one of Slovenia's most consistent underground podcast imprints. 

We exhort you to tune in and indulge in KINN'S powerful extended set consisting of stripped-down, spaced-out techno.

Based in Timisoara, Romania, Mark.x delivers almost 2 hours of fun, hard, and body-moving drum n' bass filled with subtle dualities of rhythm, speed, and texture for our 18th podcast in our mainline series. Mark.x is an amazing producer/DJ who always had a passion for music from a young age. However, it wasn't until 2016, when he discovered his country's peculiarly remarkable minimal house scene that he fell in love with electronic music and embarked into becoming an electronic music artist. With over more than 10 releases in his Bandcamp, Mark has collaborated with artists and labels such as Octave, Cozu, Inunct, Utro, Raw Russian, and more... He shows no signs of stopping and wanting to go beyond the limits he avoids being pigeon-holed into one style. Instead he identifies himself as an eclectic artist whose inherent nature is to explore and adopt different styles that mark him.

Our RCP series continues with Constant, hailing from Bucharest, Romania, who delivers an explosive and majestic set which wonderfully encapsulates his style and ambitions.

Influenced by a wide spectrum of styles and genres, Constant delivers a cohesive mix consisting of Micro house, Minimal House, Breaks, Tech House, and more, full of groovy percussions, hypnotic atmospheres, and funky bass lines, creating an experience permeated with passion, torrential energy, and non-stop grooves, keeping the listener actively involved and immersed in the experience.

TwoNones (@2nones) is a curious but mythical DJ & Producer coming from Slovenia. Nik, also known under his main alias KINN (@kinn901) has been exploring electronic music since his early ages. He was inspired by his cousin who eventually brought him up to the scene when she brought over a pair of CDJ350s and since then, his vision toward creating an unforgiving flow of elements, materials, and other pieces has begun. His productions aren't quite common nowadays but they've been heard all over the world from his home country to another side of the Atlantic Ocean. Those events in his life changed his perspective on music and he has begun his own Podcast label under the name Mavrica, which in English means Mavrica. People were always amused by his creations and the way he tells a story in his mixes making it a road trip you never experienced before. He knew how to get people hooked to his mixes and since then he's been doing it constantly throughout his years. In today's mix, TwoNones has taken a different approach by going very un-easy Minimal which is slowly but surely expanding towards hot groovy elements of House and Deep Tech. Sit back and relax and let TwoNones's elements of surprise catch your eyes and ears and let it get to you

After a very good reception of our first release, Rooftop Cardigans comes back in full force with a V.A. representing the sounds of young, minimalistic electronic musicians around the world. 

Mauro starts off the release with "Extraction", a futuristic statement crammed with slick, offbeat drum patterns and crude samples which unfold into shattered nostalgic images. Leeds native Array then shows us complete synergy between man and machine in "Fracture", a club-primed composition that delves into the soundscapes of analog house music. Following are talented producers Giancarlo Puigbo & Cunillera from our home country Dominican Republic, using metallic glitches and swinged out percussions to complement the thick atmosphere in "Coincidencia". 

To balance all this out, Italian-born Atimpuri presents the cryptic "SL.ED", a vivid hero vs. supervillain joyride that melds fast-paced modular hits with quirky sonic effects. To conclude we have Cristina from Bucharest with "Nu Zaietz Pagadi", a satirical roller with a haunting voice that seems to have a mind of its own.

It is with the greatest of pleasure that we cordially welcome Cristina to the 13th installment of our assiduously selected podcast series. 

Hailing from the capital of Romania, Bucharest, Cristina was born near the Black Sea shore in the holiday spot 2Mai, on April 19, 1987. She was lived into a childhood and adolescence of electronic music, as her father was an avid vinyl collector with an affection for electronica.

At the tender age of 14 was the first time she stood behind the decks, learning the  techniques and crafting her DJ skills, and shortly after she began playing at local summer club. Prompted by her interest in electronic music and restless creative spirit Cristina also attended and completed a singing school.

In 2006 she moved to Bucharest getting involved in the Romanian capital’s underground party scene. She got to play her first gig at the Zebra club in Bacau, where many artists who left their mark in the Romanian underground scene have originated and made their stamp. For the next decade she was a regular at many of Bucharest’s underground spots, and became the resident of Silver after-hours club.

After a short hiatus, Cr15tina remerged back into the scene, this time with an interest for producing and creating her own sounds, marked by strong feeling, and emotion. 

Her first EP, "Zbor Maiastru"(2016), was released by the label Arms Limited, followed by "Love Dimension" E.P (2017) released by the label Cisne Negro, and then her single for our own Rooftop Cardigans Sampler V.A. "Nu Zaietz Pagadi" (2017). 

Since 2017 she has joined forces with HighSound.Ro collective, an agency that promotes underground Romanian dj’s, artists and music producers.

Featuring music from Christopher Groove , Sebastian Paiza , Yuuki Hori , Franco Zehringe , Zepovek and various others, Cr15tina's style is stamped by a compulsive funkiness and curiously warm, elegant feel that will positively leave you spellbound. Spinning a fusion of styles, equally deep, muscular, and above all minimal, uniformity and consistency are just but a few words that describe this beautiful extended set.

Omar Jimenez was born in Puerto Rico, where he became a young guitarist and music disciple. Although his early influence is progressive rock, he soon fell in love with house and techno. Omii co-runs a collective called 2210 in NYC.

As a teenager, Omii dedicated hours to studying music and practicing playing the guitar. Never settling for common sounds, he dedicated most of his time listening to complex and beautiful music ranging from Pink Floyd and Rush, to John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Omii then summoned that same meticulous selection process and musical drive when he fell in love with house and techno. He developed passion for DJing, and never looked back since. Omii began playing in Kansas City, MO, and quickly began playing around the Midwest, Puerto Rico, and New York City.

Omii's unique style is characterized by his obsession with fusing house and techno sounds that are often in direct opposition, and playing tracks that move between deep and energetic, while simultaneously maintaining a main groove that glues all these elements together. You can find him most days hard at work at his Brooklyn studio, producing events, or playing gigs.
