High above Earth, hidden within a cosmic nebula, the daring crew of Flying Saucer FM operate a clandestine pirate radio station. Their signal echoes through the vastness of space, broadcasting rebellious beats and subversive messages. Evading authorities, the spacefaring DJs fueled a rebellion against the monotony of intergalactic bureaucracy. 

The space pirates became legends, their frequency a beacon for those seeking freedom beyond planetary constraints. As governments scrambled to shut them down, Flying Saucer FM continued to ride the cosmic airwaves, a testament to the enduring spirit of rebellion that transcended the confines of any single world.

Everyone, it’s Sean Galvin in the building. Lock down your ariels.

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.

Our long time hero @leloupmusic joins the saga with an hour of acid-tribalism.  🐺

The Parisian producer and Dj has been part of the Label’s history since our beginnings, he produced a remix on our 4th release and joined us for a few parties. We are thrilled to have him onboard for a new contribution (and hopefully not the last!) 

If you like that kind of trancey infused sounds, he recently released a couple of killer techno records alongside Chris Carrier under the moniker AV-1. If you listened to us recently, you must have heard them as they are 100% right our alley and always find their ways into our sets. 🔥🌳
