Producer, co-creator of the From disco to disko label and the Ballà Boum Festival, if Valerj had chosen to buy a guitar at the age of fifteen, the story would certainly have been different. But as we enter the 2000s, as club culture has finished flooding Europe's biggest cities, turntables have become a dream, even in Corsica. To use these turntables, you need records. When he can't find them at the only retailer in the region of Bastia, his home town, he orders them (or steals them in dubious mp3 versions) on the web.
It is precisely this tool, the Internet, that shakes up their certainties at the dawn of their twenties. Myspace, Reason, the Fluokids... the Mediterranean fades away, the festival Calvi on the rocks explodes, nothing will ever be like before. He scoured these island festivals, as a partygoer, as an artist. Over the years, his cross-disciplinary tastes have asserted themselves.
In 2017, the monthly From disco to disko evenings were born, leading to the creation of an eponymous label in early 2019.
Italo, dark disco, electronica, Valerj likes uninhibited party sets, built to last. Whether it's an elegant warm-up or a late-night "plasticage", it's hard to know which way to dance with him.

VALERJ: SPÆCIAL MIX 303

Space commander @hombrepvnico hails from Bucerias, Nayarit in Mexico and delivers a classy, banging underground set. Here is what he wants to tell you about himself:
"Hombre Pvnico is the alter ego of Humberto Ramos, I was born in Colima, raised in Guadalajara and now I’m based in the pacific coast on a small beach town call Bucerias. 
Hombre Pvnico is a solo project, I like to play a blend of different styles, cosmic,indie, dark disco, ítalo, ebm you name it!  it’s all about sharing good music and take that part of my world with yours and connect no matter where you are. 
I was able to play along Franz Scala (slowmotionrec) and Javi Redondo (Correspondant) (Dischi Autunno) and I share some of my mixtapes with Deep space Berlin from Berny Gardini (IDWT) and from the Mexican label Controlla. 
Right now I’m focusing on production, learning new things and having fun at the studio for the moment. So I’ll be around with new music soon! 
I always like to say that Hombre Pvnico is music for aliens , witches, shamans and for all those misfits out there trying to find a safe place through music.
Welcome to my world, keep it weird 🫠

Nico Raibak - IN DARK WE TRUST #260

“It is alllllllll about the dance…”
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, translator, electronic music journalist and music lover, Rocío Cusmano aka HIHATDANCER relies on percussion and her intuitive groove.
In a club night, sunset set or after hours, what matters the most for her is the DANCE. Her signature sound is a mixture from House to Electro, with dashes of all kinds of Disco, Indie Dance, Breaks & Acid. The result is a session both futuristic and classic, where the energy on the dancefloor never stops.
With shows in iconic Buenos Aires venues like Avant Garten or Under Club and European ones like Kit Kat Club, she's also editor-in-chief of the electronic outlet Danzfloor, which focuses on the Argentinian dance scene, with special emphasis on upcoming talent. Follow her:

Space Cadette AuraLLaura woke up one day in 2019 and realized she had always been a DJ. She boarded her spaceship and headed to Mars Music in Cape Town, where she bought her gear and committed to her calling. A year later, she has been playing in Cape Town clubs and crafting her unique sound.

In a 30-year love affair binge-collecting electronic music, she's an audiophile who can name just about any artist and label across electronic genres. Born in '79, she's heavily influenced by the synth sounds of the '80s and the '90s rave scene, and she can't help but seek out a grinding bassline and a lyrical narrative. Her musical appetite is voracious, much like a black hole, sucking in anything it can.

By day, she works for South Africa's largest ticketing company, which has given her access to explore festivals and events across the country and work closely with the music and entertainment industry. Her sweet spots are Indie Dance, Dark Disco, Electro, IDM, Electropop, Electroclash, and Melodic Techno.

[HOT SHOT SERIES 097] - Podcast by Addi Stefansson

Ladies and gentlemen - Today we've got the honor to present you Addi Stefansson!!!

"Icelandic-born electronic music artist, Addi Stefansson finds inspiration in both natural and urban landscapes. From soulful ambient soundscapes to driving club beats infused with house, techno and breakbeat influences, a unique blend of sonic creations that reflect deep appreciation for the world around is the outcome. While his love for the dramatic beauty of the landscapes that surround him remains a central inspiration, he is equally drawn to the energy and diversity of urban environments. His approach pushes the boundaries of his craft, creating a sound that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. Now based in Innsbruck, Austria, Addi continues to create music that is a celebration of both natural wonder and urban energy."
