If you’ve been following the electronic music scene in Europe over the past decade, Nicola Kazimir is likely a familiar name. He is best known as a cofounder of Les Points, a Swiss collective and label that has been further solidifying Zurich’s standing as a key electronic music hub since the early 2010s. Their first releases pushed the boundaries of minimal house by infusing it with a playful quirkiness, contributing to the rise of the emerging “digger” scene represented by figures like Nicolas Lutz and Binh. But rather than stopping there, Nicola and his accomplices Audino, Louh, and Barbir chose to reinvent themselves with each new record, incorporating elements from their wide range of influences—from black metal to video game music—even at the risk of unsettling some of their early fans.

“Music is the bouncer.” This quote, borrowed from Underground Resistance, is one of Kazimir’s favorites, which he embraces as a true ethos for his entire career. Beyond its artistic dimension, music and everything surrounding it (album covers, track titles, distribution mechanics) also serve as a true political medium for Nicola. This approach led him to open Mikro in 2015, a hybrid space between art gallery and club located in the former premises of the Zurich University of the Arts. This off-space, open 24/7, is a response to the sectarian and elitist nature of clubs and art galleries that claim to be “open to all” while enforcing strict exclusionary policies, either directly or indirectly. Over the years, Mikro has become an essential part of Zurich’s cultural scene, combining exhibitions of emerging contemporary artists, rave parties with icons such as Mad Mike, and exclusive showcases devoted to electronic music acts like Drexciya and SP23.

Nicola Kazimir is mainly driven by an enduring love for electronic music, both for its sound and its cultural significance. Always searching for new ways to express this passion, his latest project is a manga titled Freq, created in collaboration with Italian illustrator Good News For Bad Guys and legendary Japanese scriptwriter Dai Sato. The first volume, which directly references the history of electronic music in different ways, is finally available after two years of intensive work.

In the following interview, we dive deep into Nicola’s mind and life, from his childhood memories playing on his brother’s Super Nintendo to his teenage excursions in Zurich’s after-parties and his career as an international DJ. We explore a variety of themes along the way, including the parallels between DJing and art curation, the dynamics of music production, and the creative potential of artificial intelligence.

The fourth installment of our mix series comes from none other than Paris-based DJ and producer Gaspero. Founder of Ryugu Records, Gaspero is a passionate and insatiable digger, taking listeners on deep sonic journeys that trace back to the golden era of progressive trance - seamlessly blending these roots with modern-day productions inspired by that same spirit.
His work aims to bridge generations, fusing past and present influences into a contemporary, club-focused aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Ever since stumbling upon Gaspero’s mixes, I’ve been obsessed with his sound, drawn in by his ability to curate truly exceptional selections time and again. I must admit I had high expectations for this one, and he more than delivered: high energy, endlessly hypnotic, and unmistakably his own style.

A portal into what lies ahead, this mix gives a glimpse into what is to come with our upcoming EP release together where the journey continues soon...
