META MOTO PODCASTS ARE DEDICATED TO CONCEPTS THAT CAN NOT BE EXPRESSED DIRECTLY BUT ARE FORCED TO CONVEY THE MORAL NATURE.
THE NINETY-FIFTH CHAPTER IS WRITTEN BY THE DJ AND PROMOTER @BERLIN-BUNNY

Izabella Chrobok aka Berlin Bunny is a DJ and the co-creator of the DARKDISCO.ORG music platform. @DARK-DISCO is a party series dedicated to the dark sound with a disco vibe. WAVE, EBM, INDUSTRIAL, TECHNO, DISCO, POST-PUNK, ELECTRO, NEW BEAT & more. Berlin Bunny has released her debut EP on the Spanish I-Traxxx label with remixes by artists like Dave Inox, Ethan Fawkes & Evil Dust and remixes on the Still Distant Records compilation. 
Izabella was born in Poland but is currently based in Berlin. Her creative personality has found multiple ways of expression. She works as a photographer KEYI STUDIO and a curator @KEYIMAGAZINE - bilingual art, music, fashion and photography magazine.
As the artist says her music journey has started from a very young age. Innocent music obsession started with the vinyl collection and eventually turned into creating and playing mixes containing a combination of modern electronic techno sounds & retro-electro/synth waves. The music that she plays is strongly inspired by Berlin‘s underground scene.

BANSHEES - PODCAST - CHANNEL 014 CARLOS GRABSTEIN

From DJ SH1 -TR: "This mix was inspired by what I think was a special time for new wave. The late 00's / early 10s saw several labels emerge that were dedicated to reissuing rare and underground cult new wave hits, but also new bands and rooted in the classics that were being rediscovered. Minimal Wave, Dark Entries, Domestica, Mannequin, and our very own Medical Records, just to name a few. I tried to capture here some of my favorites from those days, but there really is so much great stuff that came out then. I'm pretty happy to have been a part of it!"

Sissies of Mercy is the back-to-back collaboration between longtime best-friends sam & austen. Born out of their love for dancing together, their sound as a duo balances playful nostalgia and raunchy darkness to command a sweaty dancefloor.  Weaving together diva-fueled house, sparkly 80's pop, nasty acid, and cheeky electro, Sissies' sets create shared moments of freedom and transcendent joy fueled by love and light. 

Between their residency at Gabriela, frequent sets at Brooklyn institutions such as Paragon, House of Yes, Bossa Nova Civic club, and at least one gig basically everywhere else, Sissies are forging a path for TS world (nyc) domination.

Italian dj raised in the outskirts of Geneva, Pastram steps out under the banner of Cruel Machine Booking. Distinctly drawn towards dark atmospheres, Pastram developed a strong focus on raw rhythmics, assuming an intense form of communication where cathartic echoes and cold synths become intricate. An intense musical fusion of the past and the present transcending the line between body music, grinding post punk, industrial, and wave.
