Taking over the show this week, elusive German producer and Vault Sessions / BCCO resident DJ Phil Berg pulls out the big guns and vibes-avalanching blends for what can be called a proper feast in sound. Drum-fuelled tribal grooves, rugged early house manoeuvres, possessed machine funk, Berg runs the hoodoo down like a thrill-deprived stuntman, eager to pack the world’s whole field of energies in just two hours of music. The result is no short of breath-taking, sharp as a knife and well, exhaustingly gratifying.

Welcome to the milestone Slam Radio episode 600 - with ourselves Slam in the mix for 6 hours - which features new music, alongside some classics that have never left our crates - inspired by some of our recent long club sets.  

We started Slam Radio as a way of airing some of our favourite established and emerging artists, all of whom play underground techno and electro (and have never repeated a single guest twice ) -  thanks to every single one of you.

We’d also like to say a big thanks to all the Slam Radio crew and especially our long standing show producer Conor Dalton, who’s been with us from the very start. 

Finally - “thank you” - to all our listeners, for all the support you’ve given the show from its inception - we’d never have got this far without it.

Slam on Slam Radio for the 600th episode - Enjoy

Resident and co-organizer of Spectrum Waves LGBTQIA+ parties in Paris, Toscan Haas stands out for his polyrhythmic approach to mental and big room techno, which he produces using three to four tracks.
His musical training as a percussionist and his inspiration from artists such as Luke Slater and DVS1 have led him to conceive his sets as a skilful blend of progressive tools that oscillate between energetic cadences, tribal sounds and menacing bass lines.

Lea & Laura; this is the story of a human connection first, when they met in Manchester in March 23, united around their passion, love and dedication to music. 

In December last year, they played 'by accident' their first B2B in Amsterdam, which was an effortless affair, realizing that their artistic sensibilities resonated strongly with each other - a new duo was born. Lea's organic, tribal grooves blend perfectly with Laura's deeper trippy sound, as they morph into one person behind the decks, delivering an immersive and dynamic experience to the dancefloor.

#SlamRadio - 615 - Dynamic Forces

Italy born producer and modular synthesist David Castellani is an aficionado in all things modular with a focus on driving, contemporary techno. His sound, fuelled by an array of analog hardware, showcases the intricate aspects of modern music production, while staying true to the fundamentals. 

Having formerly cut his teeth in a DJ/Producer duo, David has already built a category of healthy releases, collaborations and remixes, while sharing the decks with industry heavies including Nastia, Mark Broom, Dense & Pika & Vril, to name a few. 

Now based in LA by way of Chicago, Castellani launched his record label Noetic in 2021, cultivating smart & dynamic techno with a focus on synthesizers and analog hardware. The label has curated eleven releases from Castellani so far, featuring remixes from Redshape, Matrixxman, Voiski & Etapp Kyle. 

Castellani’s journey in music has been marked by two guiding principles – passion and learning, including exploration of world cultures. He uses the didgeridoo, part of ancient First Nation Australian culture which he respectfully acknowledges, in his live sets. He was taught drums by respected Afro Cuban percussionist Juma Santos, who featured on the legendary Miles Davis album ‘Bitches Brew’. The experience of working with Santos has stayed with him till this day. 

“It was one of the most vivid memories of my youth. We just spent hours playing drums together and then we’d indulge in some cannabis while Juma would share stories about hanging out with Miles Davis in the 70's. I was about 17 and remember travelling home, thinking how excited I was to start this new journey in music. And most of all, this helped me understand the value of education via a proper teacher within music.” 

Castellani would go on to be an educator himself, thriving as a teacher at Chicago’s respected Columbia College, where he’d teach for almost a decade. His passion for educating is something that stays with him till this day, involved in running modular synth workshops in LA in collaboration with the RE/FORM crew, with whom he holds a residency. He also volunteers with the Jazz Angels, an outreach program that sees him go into schools and help children record and learn about music. 

His passion and curiosity for all things learning, creativity and technological development has seen him create his own sequencer module, the Precision Disrupter. His background in graphic design also sees a collaboration with clothing brand After Infinite, responsible for designing all their rave wear garments. 

A magnetic live performer, recent highlights include a special 360-degree audio-visual performance in LA alongside Colin Benders and ONYVAA; a coveted spot playing Chicago’s Arc Festival and the release of his collaborative project ‘Hysteria Dichotic’ with AnnMarie Arcuri, which combined techno, contemporary dance, modular synthesis and film. 

Castellani wishes to acknowledge that First Nations Australians are the traditional owners of the didgeridoo, a wind instrument he uses in his live sets. He pays his respects to all First Nations people.
