BLANK WAVE Guest Mix Series

Originally from Brazil and currently making waves in Berlin's dynamic music scene, Paty Vapor is a multifaceted artist known for her roles as DJ, curator and event producer. 

She is part of the Italian label-collective Slow Motion / Wrong Era and co-founder of the female-focused event series 'Wisdom Tits & The Mad Express presents'. Holding a residency at the Berlin club Sameheads and at Blum in her hometown Sao Paulo, she regularly showcases her sound at the pinnacle of Berlin's venues, across Europe, and in Brazil, solo or as one half of the DJ duo Wisdom Tits alongside Caillou.

Her sets evoke an old-school nostalgia of the ’80s, weaving through EBM, Electro, and Industrial, smoothly blending with Synthpunk, Wave, obscure Italo and Belgian New Beat. Characterized by powerful kicks, bold basslines, ethereal synths, and enigmatic vocals. Paty Vapor's sonic tapestry is a captivating fusion of the old and the avant-garde. Enough said, here's our outstanding guest mix no. 43!

Our next guest is well known for his unique interpretation of Italo Disco, Wave and Electro. Luca dell’Orso likes his music snappy and raw: character & authenticity are keywords in his book and the main pillars of guest mix no. 44. The Dutchman started producing music around 2015 and with well received releases on labels such as Bordello A Parigi, XXX, Red Laser Records and Wrong Era he’s rapidly making a name for himself in the underground dance scene.

For both his DJ sets and his own productions, Luca tends to alternate between melancholy and the well-known joyous melodies of Italo Disco. Even though Luca’s focus is rather niche, his music has frequently been played by some of the most well-known artists in the dance scene like The Blessed Madonna, Dixon, Âme and Palms Trax.

Apart from his solo work, Luca is co-initiator and curator of the Nijmegen based Italo/Electro-inspired club night TUTTI. Keep an eye on our friend Luca. You'll get to hear a lot more coming from this big talent in the future!

Getting started with no. 046 for our Berlin special week. Two individuals from two collectives representing on Blank Wave. First one up is T.H.B.X. from the Skarabaeus project, which is focusing on its very own event and podcast series. Skarabaeus' founding member T.H.B.X. is a musician who creates a unique connection between different genres through his DJ sets and live performances. His musical palette is so broad that it ranges from Ambient, EBM, Wave and Post-Punk to Electro and Techno while deliberately breaking down boundaries and creating captivating soundscapes.

"Music should be shared, because you never know whom it will help". The hope belongs to xenophilia.

After 15 years of experience as an event hoster, curator and DJ, Berlin based Desolate Discotheque established himself in the European Techno-EBM-Wave scene.

Back in 2019 he fulfilled his dream by starting his own independent cassette label Crave Tapes and created a platform for new and well known artists from all over the world.

The inspiration he draws from 80's underground electronic music and the goth culture is manifested in his exorbitant, authentic and excessive style - a wild mixture between EBM, Industrial, New Beat, Synthwave, Post-Punk and some Techno. Hear for yourself with mix no. 46 which is packed with dark gems (some of them unrealeased yet)!

Giulia Gutterer, original child of Italy's Bolzano mountains and land of their infamous cow’s milk, has migrated the cream of Italo to the centre of Berlin's club scene.

Equally obsessive about Hi-NRG, Downtempo, New Beat, Dark & Nu Disco she quests through the dirtiest depths of the internet and record stores for rhythms so inviting that you can't help but bathe, kick and writhe in the sludge and dust with her. She's raised iconic dancefloors worldwide with a style that is an eclectic swag of sex, humour and psychedelia. A collision of expansive beats and seductive evolving moods that have hypnotized Berlin's audiences at Berghain's Panorama Bar for Italorama, Cocktail d'Amore, Salon zur Wilden Renate, Revier Südost, and Sisyphos to mention a few.

Though she's “just a DJ, not a f***ing neurosurgeon”, she is the rock and caretaker of Wrong Era and Slow Motion organizations and parties all over the world; notorious, sweaty meet-ups for all the "not-too-hard tunz tunz" music lovers.

We're more than happy to welcome Giulia into the Blank Wave family with mix no. 47!

From the Italian seaside town of Trani, Domenico Ventura - aka DayVentura - is virtuously making his debut on the electronic music scene from a meticulous study of all that has gone before. His musical journey began with the influence of his father's 80s electronic music taste. This early exposure laid the foundation for his intricate exploration of various genres, including Funk, Hip Hop, Metal, Punk, Chicago House, New Wave and Techno.

The eclectic mix of influences defines his distinctive sound, which has already reached several dancefloors from Italy up to the decks of Arkaoda in Berlin with Slow Motion Records in the format Memory Dance.

Over the years, with the participation of other members, he built Insert Coin: an event reality that brings not only music, but also all the Italian and European 80s imagery translated visually and sensorially into an 8-bit video game to clubs.

His music blends elements of Italo Disco, Synthpop, Electro, EBM, New Beat, Acid House and Techno, resulting in a hypnotic journey through the realms of synthesized elegance and the raw power of retro drum machines, displaying a deep appreciation for sonic diversity and a commitment to creating immersive experiences. 
Need a coin? Here you go. Now dive into the video game world of DayVentura with mix no. 48!
