Sparc Mix Series #16 features a deep trip by Invalid Request, a true Techno enthusiast straight out of Rotterdam.

Besides being behind the decks, Invalid Request is also an integral part of underground Techno in Rotterdam. For more than 5 years he has been showcasing local artists through his platform Derailed Radio in Roffa. This place is more than just a show, it's the home of a community and a multidisciplinary nest where creativity meets talent.

The first two months in 2024 have been nothing less than a much needed rest for Otto and his studio. Now full of energy and inspiration he's ready to share his latest mix with our
community and fellow music enthusiasts. We can’t wait to see what he has in store next!

Born with vinyl. Eclectic soul.

Spinning records since his teens. Influenced by his classical piano studies, the extensive listening of psychedelic prog rock and the experimental jazz vice, ELA//404 (aka Alessio, Italy) is a passionate vinyl collector and DJ operating across the full bmp range. His sound is influenced by his emotional present, and the quality of the productions is the only filter. More often dark or melancholic, psychedelic and hypnotic techno, with a strong preference towards four to the floor groove trains without much flow interruptions, to put you into a deep trance where the mind can dance as much as the body. Particularly passionate of the afterhours vibes, he prefers delicacy, warmth and slow climaxes when it comes to house tunes. His sets keep varying and orbiting around different sonic expressions, while still keeping a clearly distinguishable sound.
Co-founder of ‘Liminoid Collective’ and constantly involved in local concerts and raves, his engagement in the underground is testimony of his rebellious-independent personality which aims at making a musical statement without compromises.
