Next up on SPACEDUST selections, we’ve got Andrea PassEnger, a reel deal selector, producer, and curator straight outta Turin, Italy. One of the country’s best kept secrets, Andrea’s been digging deep for years, pushing vintage cream of the crop.

With releases on Just What The World Needs, Tabernacle, AI Records, he’s built a solid rep among DJs who really know their stuff. But it’s his vinyl-only imprint, Light Touches Records, that’s been turning heads—flipping forgotten gems and dusty disco cuts into dancefloor weapons. Now ten releases deep, and trust, he’s got more heat stashed away.

Andrea’s sound has taken him far and wide—from Corsica Studios in London to Bonobo in Tokyo, Backwards in Ireland, and beyond. He’s rocked alongside Theo Parrish, Gilles Peterson, and Nicky Siano, while holding it down as a resident at Jazz:Re:Found Festival and running his own club nights, Aquario and Better Days—spaces where community meets club culture.

For SPACEDUST MIX034, Andrea keeps it raw and rugged—a vinyl-only selection laced with deep Afro cuts, gospel soul, and grooves built for serious movers. He’s dropped six unreleased edits, plus two heavy hitters from Light Touches #10, making this one for the heads who like their selections timeless and uncut.

We first connected with Andrea over a decade ago, back when we were working on those Mark Grusane edits, and we’ve been tracking his journey ever since. Now, it’s about time we officially welcome him to the SPACEDUST family.

Press play and let it ride.

As far as metaphors go, calling this platform a port of sorts wouldn't be much of a stretch. Both offer a meeting place for people from all over, a replenishing stop before long journeys and a space for many activities yearned by most human beings: mixture of passions, crisscrossing of cultures, exchange of wealth, nurturing of debauchery and many others. Take Salvador, for instance, first Brazilian capital and one of its main posts for some of the vilest trade ever performed by mankind. But, at the same time and for that very reason, the stronghold of the country’s African traditions, which is why what was created there became one of the richest musical environments on the planet. A pristine example of how our creativity can turn pain into something universally understood that can be widely enjoyed and thoroughly appreciated. Such a powerful transmutational dynamic has been reproduced at a smaller scale in every dancefloor and across radio waves on this side of the Atlantic for the best part of the past century. The same alchemy that we strive to reiterate, not merely replicate at every episode, especially when we have a gifted guest hailing from that harbour of historical heritages. Ubunto is not just one of its finest artists, but a sagacious selector whose hectic and eclectic mixes are endless sources of danceable energy and aural delight.

Brazilian, multi-tropical & libertarian. Unleashing wild memories since 2011. Now under Trepanado's artistic direction.

Selvagem is the party label that puts Brazilian music and everything tropical in the spotlight. It believes in taking the best bits out of different cultures and blending them into a unique flow with a unique accent.
