In this edition of QC, we are thrilled to welcome the one and only Philipp Otterbach @philipp-otterbach , long-time record collector of all kinds of music, DJ and producer, who would approve his words. Back in the 2000s, he and his close friend Vladimir Ivkovic spearheaded some forward-looking dances in the Ruhr region of Germany, leading the way at the forefront. When the legendary Salon Des Amateurs club opened its doors in the Dusseldorf, Philipp was undeniably among its first resident DJs.

As for his musical productions, his discography spanning from releases on Knekelhuis, R.i.O, Music From Memory, to Offen showcases a diverse range of styles, from modern classical to ambient, industrial, and electronic, each imprinting his distinctive sonic signature.

We are thrilled to welcome the adventurous soul Rati Eradze, known as 
 Sportsmanship @sprtsmanship , from Tbilisi, Georgia, to this month’s QC. As a resident of Left Bank, a post-industrial club venue and community space at the heart of Tbilisi’s nightlife, Rati is part of the new generation of talents they are championing.

Sportsmanship’s music is a journey through diverse sonic landscapes. Whether it's playful, percussive bass, droning, beat-driven ambiences, or straight-up techy bounce-steppers, a sense of adventure always accompanies his sound. His productions, sets, and live performances are marked by both swift genre and tempo shifts, as well as simpler, more linear grooves.

When hosting "Sports!" on Mutant Radio, Rati showcases stunning collections of non-dance music, which is why we couldn't help but invite him to be our guest. Let's jump into this great exploration!

In October 2023, Cosmo Vitelli @cosmo-vitelli played an unforgettable set at System Shanghai, thrilling the electronic music community. He later recalled it as one of the best time of his touring experiences. It's rare to see Cosmo Vitelli appear on a radio show these days, aside from his and DJ Sundae’s monthly NTS show, No Weapon Is Absolute. So, we are extremely thrilled and grateful to welcome him back to China through this summertime transmission.

Cosmo Vitelli has created a universe of his own. As the label captain of I’m A Cliché, he has been releasing music from some of the most exciting sounds since 2004, including Red Axes, Simian Mobile Disco, Azari & III, and many more. The label's name references Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex, reflecting his deep love for punk and DIY culture from the late 70s. This influence traces back to his early days in Paris in the 90s when post-punk and krautrock played significant roles in shaping his sound. In other part of this universe, he has been tirelessly exploring and impacting electronic dance music as an esteemed producer since his first release in 1998.

Without further ado, let’s dive into this special treat.

This is the sonic universe of Eiger Drums Propaganda, where sound transforms into a boundless, surreal experience. In this vivid, psychedelic realm, krautrock, tribal rhythms, and dark experimental textures swirl and ascend, reimagining the Neo Trance genre.

Led by Louis Ebola, half of The Pilotwings, Eiger Drums Propaganda is an electronic project formed in collaboration with various musicians. Together, they created a powerful triptych of albums on the renowned Macadam Mambo label, blending krautrock, ritualistic tribal beats, and shadowy experimental sounds. This artistic journey inspired Louis to develop a solo live set, where he brings these albums to life through a fusion of electronic equipment, electric guitar, wind instruments, and a vast range of vocal experiments.

This November, Eiger Drums Propaganda will bring this immersive experience to China. Catch him in these tour dates:

11.15  Loopy, Hangzhou
11.22 Zhaodai, Beijing
11.23 Riff, Changsha

We’re buzzing to bring in 2025 with our first guest, Katzele @katzele —the mastermind behind Malka Tuti @malka-tuti , a label that’s less of a record label and more of a portal to a whole new sonic dimension. Co-founded with Asaf Samuel, Malka Tuti is a melting pot of electronic, world, and experimental sounds, smashing through genre walls and championing cultural diversity like no other.

As a self-confessed Malka Tuti addict, we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole with artists like Khidja, Tapan, Decha, Die Orangen and Black Merlin —and the list doesn’t stop there. This isn’t just a label; it’s Katzele’s personal escape hatch—a creative playground where cross-cultural collisions and mind-bending aesthetics reign supreme.

Katzele delivers his iconic “Trance-not-Trance” vibes in every set, weaving together global grooves, hypnotic beats, and unexpected sonic twists. This mix was recorded live in October 2024 at Heiners Bar, Katzele’s home away from home for the past 10 years—a spot where DJ nights are long, diverse, and unbound by convention. What you’re about to hear is a 1-hour excerpt from an epic 8-hour session. Enjoy!

Welcoming Guangdong-born DJ and producer Tseër @tseersounds to the studio for this episode!  An emerging player in London’s underground electronic scene, his sound is inspired by natural imagery and hypnotic rhythms—blending ambient, experimental, tribal, minimal, and dub influences to create immersive, otherworldly sonic landscapes.

In 2024, he dropped his debut EP Unknown Voyage on Portuguese label Atmos.lab Records, weaving together field recordings, ambient textures, hypnotic grooves, and deep techno elements. The release has gained support from platforms like Anodynic Frequencies and Echobox Radio.

Over the past year, Tseër has brought his deep, rhythmic explorations to venues like Avalon Cafe, Sauna Social Club, The Old Blue Last in London, and Kiosk Radio in Brussels.
