Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we present: Roma Ptashenko

From 2012 Roma has found his inspiration in the roots of rave culture — the 90s: Belgium with its accelerated-rough rhythms, melancholic trance and acid with its emotional edges, Britain and hard trance from Bonzai Records, as well as early releases on German Harthouse and rave revival from ТРИП label. 

His first DJ experiments took place accordingly: two old decks, CD disk records and endless mixing.

As a result, Roma's sets have become adjust compositions that belong to the dancefloor, but leave the space for real bangers. The big-bit track smoothly enters techno cage: Cari Lekebusch suddenly weaves with Nina Kravitz's sensual hits, and Prodigy remix drowns into progressive house of the duo Der Dritte Raum.

Over the past few years, his performances could be regularly seen both in the main Moscow techno-mecca Mutabor, and in St. Petersburg's Blank or the closed underground space of Raf25, in Tbilisi's Drama Bar and Yerevan's Poligraf.

Roma is a member of two iconic Moscow communities: the Volchok streetwear project, where he leads his series of podcasts and organizes parties. And the Popoff Kitchen music queer community. This year, the association was included in the list of the most influential projects that form youth culture.

In the city of Berlin, where so much of the offering comes with an inevitable side of self-consciousness, Georgian DJ Salome’s fast and fiery hardstyle trance is a joyous afront to mass-produced and solemn sounds. With releases on FTP, Mechatronica, Darknet and Lobster Theremin, multiple appearances on Hör as well as a flood of international bookings, her tongue-in-cheek bent clearly strikes a chord. Her climactic and hedonistic toying with the sillier sounds of 90s dance caters to a growing number of fans who tire of the limitations of standardised club culture, a rising tide in which Herrensauna’s prodigal daughter is poised to lead the charge with her radical measure of fresh and utopian rave: Bassiani Podcast 125 is her resplendent and dizzying manifesto.
