Closing

Welcome to the first episode of Bordello Aperitivo: the new mix series curated by our aperitivo bar in Amsterdam! Gautier Honorez aka Monodominical is a French DJ and vinyl digger. Since 2019 he's the owner of the small bar/club called 'Le Discobar' in Paris where you can find him every night behind the bar serving nice cocktails and good music. He defines his own music style as 'Mediterranean Disco' switching between languages and decades but with the same desire of being in a perpetual summer holiday mood enjoying drinks close to the sea. Monodominical is also a producer who creates edits of disco rarities and original production under some obscure aliases (find one on 7" in our shop right now!). Salute!

Bordello Aperitivo #1 - Monodominical

Globetrotters, time travelers, fun seekers, vinyl diggers, dance lovers… Many are the types of beings that thrive in this sonic culture of ours, finding shelter and happiness in this sensorial and emotional universe fostered by musical communion. And the creatures therein are more than just characters, they comprise the fauna and flora of these aural environments in which we dwell and revel, sustaining it with both their projects and their passion. Take the magnificent French trio known as Bayetë for example, an autonomous ecosystem of discovery and debauchery that strives to create the perfect conditions for our enjoyment of the treasures they find in their excursions across the world. A noble purpose that is so powerful that it does not solely rely on the collective's togetherness to exist, each of its members carry that same seminal drive in everything they do individually. Something we can perfectly perceive in this episode of Gop Cast where Simon, one of its members who recently relocated to São Paulo, manages to encapsulate the eclectic excellence of their musical abundance in a stellar mix of moods, grooves and everything in between.

B.P.T. Radio 048: Mademoiselle Linda

Right when you thought the 80's had been mostly dug out, the "Night City Life" compilation hits the shelves. 
Ever since we heard his compilation for Spacetalk we were blown away: one of the best curations of early MIDI dancefloor/radio oriented productions we'd heard in a while. Truly refreshing to the human ear, not to mention the heavy research behind it. As such, we've wanted to book Ilan ever since but then COVID happened. Still a wet dream to see him do his thing live but for now here's this amazing bit of aural goodness to get you in the right mindset. 

Ilan is a London-based record collector. He can often be found posting the artwork of 80s vinyl from his collection on Instagram; a patchwork of nostalgia from musical days gone by.

Check him out on IG and listen carefully - your discogs wantlists will never be the same.

MIX07 - LONE SAXON

"This mix is my take on a sunrise session, blending hypnotic melodies, 90’s street soul breaks, balearica and mid tempo bouncers. Plenty of dark and light throughout the mix. Creating a soundscape that people could lose themselves in, switching the vibe up towards the end for that second wave of four to the floor manouvers."

Despite missing the last two and a half hours we still managed to record a good bit of our all night b2b2b2b2b2b session for AUF LEIWAND at Celeste on 9.11.2024 with Alaska Al, Heap, Julian, Luziprak, Marc Graebnor and myself playing only Austrian tunes all night. In its slightly chaotic amateurishness, i think its a great representation of the giant potpourri that is the more obscure side of Austrian pop and dance music history of the latter part of the last century ;)

MOTHBALL FM with JEEPSOONI (November 2024)

On our quest to spotlight dj's from the region we bring you Ognjem, a familiar face on the Belgrade scene. 
His mix is a journey based in proto house and will easily transport you from the abyss of Mad professor's smoke filled studio to a terrace on the Mediterranean, drink in hand and worry free.

Recorded live at the k hole disco (Lunacy party), Angel Bar, 2025.

Aradea Barandana, widely known as Dea, began his DJ career in high school, spinning records as background music for a breakdance crew. What started as a casual exploration of rhythm soon blossomed into a passion for building community through music. Dea launched his own club night in Jakarta, where his eclectic taste began to take shape.
While studying in London, Dea delved deep into the world of underground and obscure cosmic sounds, honing a style that defies strict categorization. His sets are a rich tapestry of exotic psychedelia, infused with electronic grooves that transcend traditional genre boundaries.
Dea has released numerous records under his own name and as part of projects like Precious Bloom and Zatua. His collaborations span diverse fields, from co-creating a short film soundtrack with DJ Harvey to contributing to albums by A Mountain of One and Ricardo Villalobos. He also made waves with an EP released on Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records.
Looking ahead, Dea is set to release his highly anticipated solo album on Rush Hour Records in summer 2025, a testament to his ever- evolving artistry and deep connection to the global music scene.
