Croatia Squad - All Alone (HQ Original Mix)

June

HÖR, Berlin (9/06/2023)

Hailing from Paris with Bulgarian roots, Karassimeon is obsessed with Disco and EBM, hence his motto “Glitter & Leather”. 
He has released a string of tracks on Toulouse based label Ritmo Fatale in 2023, delivering his distinctive blend of Cold Wave, EBM and Italo. Beyond the initial support he was granted by Kendal and Pablo Bozzi, his productions are gathering growing support in the scene by the likes of Marie Davidson, Curses, David Carretta, Avalon Emerson and Jennifer Cardini. 
Relentlessly researching new soundscapes in his studio, Karassimeon will premiere his live electronic show in November 2023. 

This guest mix features his favorite new music, as well as his forthcoming remix for Paris based New Wave act Clinique Lacuna. We're thrilled to have Karassimeon on board and mix no. 28 is already on heavy rotation at the Blank Wave headquarter. I mean - just look at the playlist:

D'Vision presents Melodicall Session @ Polish Radio London 22.11.2024

Sharlese, the Seattle-based DJ and radio host, thrives on the unexpected. The complexities and intricacies built within one of her sets start a dialogue between genres: from electro to EBM,Italo to techno, her vocabulary is vast but always dark. Sharlese’s DJing creates elegant moments in time in which to fall in love, to cry, to feel. Dance floors all over the world—including IFM in the Netherlands, Tresor West in Dortmund, Panorama Bar and Merge in New York City—have experienced her moody sets that ricochet between a seductive beat and uplifting synth patterns. Additionally, her DJ mixes for prestigious podcasts such as pi pi pi, Feinstoff, KIHDI and BITE have further shown her ability to invoke movement from the most unpredictable array of genres made for the sweaty dance floor.
Most of all, Sharlese’s respect and knowledge for music is deep, and it shows. She’s been working at the prestigious KEXP radio station for 17 years and is now a producer for The Afternoon Show, the Programming Education Manager, and is the host of Mechanical Breakdown, a show that emphasizes off-the-cuff underground and boundary-pushing music. Her club DJ career began in 2012 as a resident of Seattle’s industrial wave event, Second Sight; this experience, alongside hosting shows at Electric Tea Garden, built the foundation for her monthly party, Audiodrome, at the historic Pony. Held on the second Saturday of the month, Audiodrome is a collective that focuses on a variety of styles including Italo, wave, synth, electro and techno—all while streaming live via Intergalactic.fm. False Prophet, Sharlese’s live event series, has been nurturing emerging and celebrated artists
such as Josh Cheon, ADUL T., Nuovo Testamento, Kontravoid, Kris Baha, Franz Scala and Spike Hellis for nearly a decade in Seattle. Additionally, her residencies with the PNW techno collective, secondnature and at Massive Club located in Capitol Hill in Seattle and ROAM Recordings, Problèmes d’amour party in San Francisco further attest to her dedication to her craft and unwavering pursuit to make bodies dance.
