Thomas (https://soundcloud.com/thomasneyens) aka Far Out Radio Systems released his album On Boolean Plains with us last year, and surprised us with this 90-minute ambient podcast composed entirely of unreleased material of his own making. Obviously we're very excited to share Thomas' very personal journey across soundscapes, minimalist melodies and downtempo electronics with you all. Not mastered, straight from the machines: Enjoy!

SoHaSo Podcast Series | Far Out Radio Systems - The Tendril Perversion Sessions

Anyone who has listened to Long Story Short EP on OOSSHAA, will have already recognized https://soundcloud.com/eliott-litrowski for the daring and vibey producer that he is. As it turns out, he's also a fearless selector. Just listen to this fresh podcast he's turned in for us.

Right from the start, we're launched from Villete's ambient "Fields" (From SOMEWHERE IV) straight into Underworld's classiest, "Cups". If you're going to start your mix like that, you better have the goods to back it up. And Eliott does. We're treated to ravey breaks, electro, techno in a way that's both vibey and very much 'in motion'. Eliott's mix inhabits the space between a murky dancefloor and the kind of neon-tinted light show that might have you drifting off into your own dream rave. 

Long story short: This is a good mix. You should listen to it.

https://soundcloud.com/albertabalsam is a Rotterdam-based producer and DJ who excels at creating dark shuffling club rhythms with an experimental feel. Her tracks have been floating around the scene since 2018, including a spaced-out track on Carista's United Identities imprint. Reason enough to ask her to put together our 45th SoHaSo Podcast. Alberta takes us on an hour-long hypnotic journey through shuffling machine funk. She's not afraid to go deep, with big drums, 80s synth sounds, and bold transitions. A real statement from an artist that's worth keeping a close eye on!

https://soundcloud.com/lukecohlen is a tastemaking selector from Utrecht. The Stranded FM mainstay and former Cultfarm resident has been a notable figure in the local music scene for years, and has shared his love of obscure synth gems and wild rhythms anywhere from SoHaSo nights to Dekmantel Selectors. For his entry into our podcast series, Luke delivers a meticulously crafted showcase of his deeper, more hypnotic side. There's much to discover here, from the beautiful blends to the little details in the selections. Throughout this mix, a snippet of guitar or a loosely played cymbal will catch your ear, while the rhythms underneath shift and shuffle uneasily, keeping you on your toes for the duration. Just beautiful.

For this month's SoHaSo Podcast 47, Valencia's https://soundcloud.com/moysantana takes us on a special kind of journey. Motorized grooves and synth pads that seem to last forever run smoothly throughout this 75-minute mix. The Sungate Records chief's selections are both timeless and acutely aware of new talent (S/o Ineffekt!), keeping the pulse of the now while tapping into the universal bliss of techno music. A welcome reminder of how wonderful life is after midnight. Our recommendation: Play loud and listen deeply.

The latest addition to our semi-regular podcast series is by fresh-faced Utrecht artist Maximoto, also known als producer, DJ, and nightlife promoter https://soundcloud.com/maximotodj. Maximoto can be seen as Rochat’s retro-tinged house project. There’s an EP incoming on our sister sublabel OOSSHA, and Maximoto will make his first appearance this Saturday at the SoHaSo takeover of the 2nd room at Utrecht’s club WAS. 

For this first sign of life, Maximoto crafts an exquisite mix of late 80s inspired house, acid touches, and big melodies. Some heavy hitters (Massimiliano Pagliara! Sterac!) make an appearance, but the overall feel comes closer to NY house icons Dream 2 Science. All in all, an excellent introduction to this new addition to the SoHaSo family, with plenty more to come in the near future!

Our 49th SoHaSo podcast is courtesy of Amsterdam-based Anne Korteweg aka https://soundcloud.com/villete. She has been releasing her blissful electronica since 2016, including a very nice addition to our SOMEWHERE IV compilation back in 2020. Korteweg really takes us on a journey on this mix. It starts out puffing, scratching and tingling with the pure joy of ambient textures, before sprinkling bits of dubby electronics and piano motifs on top. Villete demonstrates a keen ear for subtlety, patience and cohesion, weaving tracks together in such a way it feels like they were always meant to be heard in this particular context. All in all, an hour of beautiful meditative music. Thanks Anne!

It’s here, a milestone of a podcast, #50. 
To mark the occasion, we have a stellar mix by none other than https://soundcloud.com/nathankofi.

A core member of De Lichting crew, Nathan debuted his new alias (changed from Nathan Surreal) with the Voltage Controlled Love Affair EP earlier this year. This summer he’s been basically everywhere, playing the trifecta of Best Kept Secret, Down the Rabbit Hole and Lowlands with some of De Lichting fam. Besides all these achievements, Nathan also debuted on SoHaSo late last year with a beautiful ambient track under his Keyeke alias.

For his contribution to our podcast series, the Amsterdam-based DJ and producer serves up a nice slice of his super dynamic mixing style, effortlessly switching between Detroit electro, house, techno, and UK bass to create a mix full of surprising twists and turns. A fun and celebratory mix indeed.

For our 51st podcast, we have invited young, taste-making Brussels DJ https://soundcloud.com/seja-aka-vera to give us a taste of her impressive skill as a selector. In the last few years, this former EKKO resident has been making waves in both the local Utrecht scene and in Belgium, including a crushing turn at our label takeover at WAS. this year. Seja has grown into a true New Beat, EBM and Acid House specialist, kicking ass and taking names all over town. 

This month is a big one for Seja, as she sets out to play not only Utrecht’s much-hyped Freaky Dancing event, but she’s gracing us with an appearance at our ADE label drinks as well. Plenty of reasons to get her on board for this month’s podcast. And Seja does not disappoint: This mix is bang on, it’s moody, it’s groovy, it’s a quintessential Seja set, and it’s exactly what we need right now.

First podcast of 2023. In celebration of https://soundcloud.com/gal-tsadok-hai's upcoming EP on SoHaSo he made a stellar mix full of breakbeats, electro, UK bass, acid and some shuffling machine funk. Be prepared for some dynamic twists & turns. Play loud and listen deeply.

There's a story to this month's podcast, mixed by taste-making Utrecht DJ and Rhythmic Culture mainstay https://soundcloud.com/akaaskmelater. It goes something like this: Back in March last year, just as clubs were reopening, Askmelater (aka Toine) was invited to play Utrecht's infamous WAS. club night. But unfortunately, they caught covid and were unable to make the date (most of us can relate). Stuck at home, Toine channelled both their fever dreams and their frustration at missing out on a good gig in an excellent set of moody breaks and trippy electronica. Almost a year after reopening, this mix is a welcome reminder of what a joy it is to be back on the dancefloor. And with Askmelater at the helm, you know you're in for something special.

This one has been quite some time in the making. https://soundcloud.com/lunaludmila has been a friend of the label for years now, contributing tracks to compilations, playing at SoHaSo takeovers, hanging out, and basically representing Something Happening Somewhere in the best possible way. Her dubbed-out style and meticulous mixing shines through on this hour-long mix. It’s a thick weave of grooves, pads, and basslines that seems to move ever forward. To make these classic elements feel both fresh and familiar is quite an achievement. Thanks Ashley for taking us on this journey.

A journey. That’s how best to describe the story of ace DJ and https://soundcloud.com/vaultwax boss https://soundcloud.com/beyun303. Her bio spans four countries in three different continents, and a family history tying her to even more diverse locales. A true globetrotting citizen of the world, she has taken in influences from a large variety of sources to inform her wide-ranging musical taste. It’s hardly a coincidence she has dropped anchor at the port of Rotterdam, a place which is defined by its diversity and by welcoming travelers from all over the world. 

A journey is also the best way to describe her addition to our podcast series. A truly eclectic mix of genres, moods and moments, we’re taking from energetic breaks and techno thumping, with hints of rave-synths, acid-basslines and plenty of percussion sprinkled in for good measure. And then, just as you think you’ve figured out what Beyun’s all about in this set, she mixes things up. We won’t spoil the ending, so you’ll just have to wait and hear what’s in store (or skip through, if you’re a party pooper). 

If you know Beyun, you know she’s bringing the goods. If you don’t, it’s about time you got acquainted with this excellent artist. Don’t miss out!

Aaaah yes, https://soundcloud.com/ultrastation. A rare breed of hybrid live/dj techno animal, always ready to destroy a festival stage, club or warehouse with their furious sets. For this edition of the podcast, these label mainstays have put together a scorching mix of deep rolling grooves and live synths. Having well earned their accolades as individual performers (Nuno dos Santos and Cosmic Force), they perfectly complement each other’s skillset, energy and creativity. After their long-awaited SoHaSo debut last year, they are now busy prepping a new EP whilst burning down festival stages left and right on the weekend. If you like your techno groovy, trippy and loud this one is for you :)

When we released his EP Eternal Waves earlier this year on our sublabel OOSSHA our press text wrote "Nijmegen based @lucadellorso found some sort of time machine that brought him back to the days of Disco Magic and Il Discotto; a time where wobbly synths, heart felt handclaps and sweet melodies filled the air".  Well, listen closely to this lovely mix with an hour full of gems by the man himself.
