For this new BLVSHcast edition, we are very happy to welcome Broccoli (@broccoli69) for an hour of vinyl only set.

Some words from the DJ herself:
"This set was recorded in one of the first Autumn cosy sunny-but-cold Sundays in Berlin.
It features my latest record findings that I have deeply digged in both physical stores in Berlin and online! 
It's a punchy and not too serious 1 hour hard & fast house set, with some progressive & acid touches, and even some short trance evocations - I had a lot of fun recording this, I hope you will have fun listening to it too. ♡ 

About me, I am co-founder and resident of the flinta / queer collective Pillow Princess.
We are a dj collective and party series, that aims to provide more safe spaces and visibility to the queer & flinta community in the electronic music scene, both by inviting artists to play at our events.
But very soon also with a record label where we will release on vinyl Flinta & queer producers , who are still very underrepresented in the scene. Stay tuned ;)
Thanks for having me, with love.
Brocco"

The set flows naturally from warmer, uplifting rhythms into deeper, industrial sounds, reflecting the city's shift from the summer's warmth to the colder, more introspective days ahead.

We welcome the co-founder of Pillow Princess (@pillow-princess-berlin) for our new instalement in the BLVSHcast series. Welcome to Kidcat (@k_i_d_c_a_t).

She told us about her mix: "This is a recording of a set I played at Kwia, Berlin, where I ventured into mixing downtempo and ambient for the first time. Finding the right vibe and sounds that felt natural in this setting was initially a challenge, but it became one of my most personally rewarding sets of the year. I explored a new mixing style and uncovered my own soundscapes within ambient music.

This one-hour mix weaves together soft, groovy, otherworldly, and psychedelic beats, accented with ethereal-like vocals.

Enjoy it while soaking in a bubble bath or sharing a relaxed moment with friends over a glass of wine 🍷🍷"

Sonnorus (@sonnorus) is a DJ from Tbilisi, Georgia, who began her electronic music journey in 2018. Guided by psychedelic, deep, and electrifying sounds, she channels pure energy and spirit into bold, magnetic sets - creating a contagious vibe that moves the crowd between euphoric, high-energy moments and introspective journeys.
After exploring a wide range of eclectic genres, she eventually found her true expression in the balance between techno and trance, with old-school sounds resonating most deeply with her soul.

She told us:
"While creating this mix, all I could think about was allowing myself to be everything. I can't limit myself to one identity, because every part of me deserves to be seen and expressed - not in isolation, but together, in unity.
This feels especially crucial now. While the world feels like it’s turning upside down, revealing some of humanity’s darkest sides, and as we continue to face injustice in my home country, with endless protests for the bare minimum in human rights, this mix became a way to breathe.  It turned out to be both deep and liberating. Trancey tunes fuel the pulse, while the pauses in between invite us to slow down, to breathe, and to recharge before the next move.
Let this be your reminder, too: show up unapologetically. You are everything you enjoy."
