ZHGRV: SPÆCIAL MIX 425

The "Sound of the Future" mix & premiere series that sounds like Andrew Weatherall, DJ Harvey, Daniele Baldelli & The Hacker spinning all night together club-ready and afterhour cosmic jams to dream and dance to.

600+ of the best Indie Dance, Cosmic-/Balearic-Disco, Italo Trance, Chuggy Acid & Playa Tech mixes & premieres you can find out there with 👨‍🚀 heavy Italo basslines, futuristic vibes, deep melodies, spaced-out disco fun & psychedelic oversoul grooves.

"Ahead of The Wave" since 2013, curated by Markus Schneider of www.soundcloud.com/therobotscientists. 

The series features mixes by artists like Curses, Shubostar, Local Suicide, Hardway Bros and +400 more. 

It is about a hypnotic journey through space, dimensions and time, a uplifting voyage through astral, etheric and magical frequencies - and above all: it is a wild, colorful, energetic, futuristic, artistic ride into human emotions, ranging from fear, sadness & rage to enthusiasm, joy & euphoria. It's all in there, so mix vibes and speeds will vary.

The series is inspired by Daniele Baldelli's Cosmic mixes, 1970s Psychedelic-, Prog- & Kraut-Rock, New Wave & Space Disco, 1980s Italo Disco, Synth-Pop, Cold Wave, Minimal Wave, Post-Punk, Early House & New Beat, 1990s Balearica, Goa & Psy Trance, Leftfield, Acid & Tribal House and 2000s Electroclash & NuDisco.
