Recorded live at Caprices Festival Gstaad 2024 at the "Yurt" stage.

Caprices Festival 2024

New radio show incoming – https://soundcloud.com/RSS in the building! These guys are disco royalty, holding it down in Hamburg’s scene for ages while still keeping it fresh. They’ve got that rare mix of underground instincts and big-stage finesse, always with a slick pop touch but never losing their edge. Expect a colorful, hypnotic blend of disco and house, exactly the kind of vibe trip only RSS Disco can deliver. Pure gold. Psyched to have them on Riotvan finally. Big love & endless thanks!

For the first time since we started, we have handed the entire show to an artist—one who is perhaps South Africa’s most treasured electronic music virtuoso.
To celebrate the announcement of the first Felix Laband European tour since 2018, he has constructed a set composed entirely of original music, exclusively for this show. Some of it you will know—a lot of it you won’t. As always, the show will be shared on the OpenLab archives next week.
With five studio albums to his name and an anthology of singles, EPs, and albums to come—it is here that we look into Felix’s past while contemplating his ever-evolving future as an electronic musician.
With shows across Europe, the centerpiece is taking place in London on 2 August 2025 at 17 Little Portland Street, The Tent at the End of the Universe, where OpenLab, in conjunction with Sub Sahara, will present Felix Laband live in London for the first time ever.
This set is a reflective and forward-thinking journey through 25 years of musical output for Felix Laband—and an unusual gift for fans of electronic music the world over.

No Cliché / Poppa’s Bag shows two sides of the Scissor & Thread aesthetic in its early days. Lightbluemover’s No Cliché stays spacious and controlled, leaning into tension and minimalism. On the flip, Black Light Smoke’s Poppa’s Bagis looser and rougher around the edges, built from dusty samples and a beat that sounds intentionally unstable.

Released in 2012 this EP still stands out as a snapshot of the label’s rawer beginnings.

Happy to be back home on the island after a few weeks away with plenty of fresh sonic sunshine. Expect some random record shop digs from my trip, including ‘Future Lounge’ from 25 years ago, and a loft classic I’d never heard before..there’s new music from Kokoroko, Durand Jones & The Indications, Yaya Bey, and Habibi Funk – whose latest compilation celebrates the Libyan tape scene – while I’ll also be premiering my forthcoming release on DSPPR, ‘Pines On The Beach’.
