For this month's show, RTD is joined by the main man behind Undersound Recordings. A label utterly dedicated to its pursuit of showcasing quality electronic music that consistently, for the best part of 10 years, has stayed true to its roots pushing high-quality electronic music. For his Soft Spot, Giovanni takes us on a trip down memory lane, sharing music from 'London memories' and recounting stories that have stood out along the way. RTD is on warm-up for the first 35, then we close out the show with some Undersound releases, including an unreleased bomb by Levat due out soon. Thank you Gio! It was a pleasure :)

Soft Spots w/ RTD & Undersound Recordings | Echobox Radio (24.06.23)

For its second release of 2023, Marginal Returns presents its most anticipated - and largest - output to date. Levat is a decade-plus friend of the label, and like us, has always believed that good things come to those who wait. It has been an absolute pleasure seeing his musical career come in full blossom, with an all hardware, fully bespoke live set that is still the talk of each and every town it has visited. 
Live Cutz collects some favourites from the first couple of years of live performances: an all bases covered selection of functional club music providing every angle of “our” groove. From side A’s tougher, peaky moments, the mood switches directly to B1’s technicolour explosion ‘Vai’ and the introspective, grooving B2 ‘M-City’. C1’s ‘Re-Merge’ is a contemporary reimagining of electroclash. C2, ‘BL9’, is a collaboration with the infamous Bruno Schmidt - resulting in a textured, heads-down, tracky roller. Side D strikes a more pensive note, with the acidic infinity of ‘Ice’ and melancholically melodic sign off ’Luv 22’.

For the second out of 2023 Marginal Returns welcomes Berlin favourite Levat and his extended EP “Live Cutz”. Taken from Levat’s highly acclaimed live set, this collection of club bangers means business from the first beat.
