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.

Good Block are a familiar duo amongst certain circles. For several years they have been steadily releasing music inspired by the funk and balearic influences of the late eighties and nineties - fusing modern sounds with the sun kissed hedonism of the past. They've been generous with it too. Always keen to share edits and tracks with friends, their music has been the secret weapon of many a DJ.

They are about to release a new album - titled 'Window' the record features a collection of dubbed out downtempo and house music which shows a growth and depth to their sound.

Based in London the pair are also seriously talented selectors - having built a reputation for their eclectic, far reaching sets which move between styles and genre.

This mix is a masterclass in a warm, glowing type of dance music - the sort that makes you long for summer and serenades you into spring.

Toby Tobias is a London don. He quietly makes and releases some of the most messed up records out there. He made our last Discotecas release, runs the Voice Notes label and is a wicked DJ who is unafraid to rock a party with an 'anything goes' attitude. He's done us a dub / dancehall mix with live fx, bleeps and more... Spring is here, the sun is out, things are on the up and this is the perfect soundtrack. Press play and enjoy.

Outsiders: Invisible City w/ Milch @ Kiosk Radio 21.04.2025

We're back with a fantastic edit from @user-84053657 that should keep the summer toes moving. 

"Ah Ya Albi" is a song originally performed by Egyptian singer Hakim. The song, which translates to "Oh My Heart", is a popular Arabic song known for its energetic and emotional style. This song is the best manifestation of the period when Arabic folk (known as shaabi) expressing itself through contemporary sounds. 

Hakim, often called "The Lion of Shaabi," played a key role in popularizing this genre globally, infusing it with contemporary beats while keeping its roots in Egyptian street culture. "Ah Ya Albi" stands out for its catchy melody, powerful vocals, and the raw, heartfelt expression typical of shaabi music.

In her own words....

I chose this track because I have always been captivated by the vibrant and mystical sounds of Middle Eastern music. As a DJ, I often perform at parties dedicated to Middle Eastern electronic rhythms, one of which is held in Russia, in Orenburg, called Chastota 528. This track beautifully embodies the rich colors and soulful melodies of the East. When I first heard it, I was instantly inspired and felt a deep desire to transform it into an electronic version that would capture its essence and bring its magic to life on the dance floor.

SINCHI EDITS 29 - Hakim - Ah Ya Albi (Misata Edit)

“Atmos Minimal – Second Wave” takes you deeper into the hypnotic world of minimal techno.  
This album blends rolling sub-bass, glitch textures, and atmospheric synth layers into immersive soundscapes designed for underground clubs, late-night drives, and focused listening.  

Each track carries its own pulse – from ghostly echoes to fractured signals, from static horizons to drifting subwaves. Together they form a cinematic journey through shadow and light, rhythm and silence.  

A continuation of the Atmos Minimal series, “Second Wave” delivers deep, meditative, and psychedelic techno energy for those who seek pure minimal sound.


Sublevel Mirage

I'm a shimmer of blue
In a vacuum of sound
You're the ship at my edge
Spinning loops 'til you're drowned

Touch me, pull through the frost
Hear the pulse of the ring
What you chase is a ghost
But I still make you sing

Leave my tides, return in time
Currents will bend your way
If you forget my pull
You will drift astray
Like a frozen song
Lost in the bay

I'm a moonless silence
Dancing light-years apart
You're the fire that fades
While I orbit the dark

I'm the pressure beneath
All your polished display
You're the one who stays blind
When I guide you away

Leave my tides, return in time
Currents will bend your way
If you forget my pull
You will drift astray
Like a frozen song
Lost in the bay

I'm a depth with no floor
Echo pulled through the glass
You're the glimmer I lost
In the mirror of mass
