Mesdames et messieurs, la Hot Series est de retour. None other than our favorite baker Rick Baguette (@rickbaguette ) is next in our never-ending journey into the Hotbox universe. Co-founder of the infamous Hot Buns collective, Rick has been grooving his way across the country, even making the leap to our Dutch neighbors and earning well-deserved praise abroad. Rick lets the music speak for itself, influenced by the likes of Christian AB, Noizar, and Sugar Free. Like any great baker, delivering the freshest goodies around is what he does best.

For his Hotbox mix, Rick strips away the obvious and digs deeper into his sonic palette. The mix begins slowly, simmering with subtle layers, before building into a cascade of zingers. No stranger to keeping things raw and authentic, you already know this mix is a wild ride from start to finish, packed with unexpected twists and turns. Having played almost everywhere this summer and bringing Hot Buns to new heights, we’re excited to see what Rick and his posse have up their sleeves for the coming season… Discover for yourself in our 26th Hot Series mix.

027

Our next Hot Series continues with Pastige, curator and promoter for Nacht, Kiosk Radio resident, and nightlife connoisseur. Drawing inspiration from everyday, non-music related things, his sound is quirky yet dark, with an unique approach to blending across genres and tempos. Pastige’s sets are all about raw, DIY vibes with an experimental edge—perfect for the freaks who love to get weird on the dancefloor. After having met, it was only a matter of time before he made his mark on the series.

For his Hotbox mix, Pastige went out of the (Hot)box, weaving in excerpts from Ross G Sutherland’s Imaginary Advice podcast, building a musical journey around its story beats. Expect a clever, dance-ready mix packed with twists, turns, and plenty of moments that’ll make your feet kick. With upcoming radio and listening sets at Crevette Records, Andy Roasters, and more, consider this mix your calling card to the world of Pastige. Ready for a taste?

ABOUT ME
"I made my way through the rave scene...
Growing up in Zürich's countryside, caught between Hip Hop and Techno, doing Graffiti on trains and playing Trance, in the early 90ies.
At 15 I started to DJ in our youth centre on two Technics MKII. I always watched „MTV Party Zone“, where the likes of SL2, Altern8 and The Prodigy were featured. When I heard DJ Hype doing the closure set at Energy 94 at Hallenstadion it just was the perfect mixture of all my musical tastes, the answer to all questions.
Records were hard to find then, so mainly Happy Breakbeat and Hardcore filled the box. As an up & coming DJ of the second rave generation I got to be a resident at the White Wolf Raves from 96 to 98 and lots of other events.
Around 98 I met Led Tampi, one of the titans of Switzerland's Jungle DJs and then became a part of Zürich’s legendary „Metropolitan Bass Scientists“ alongside Mad B, Crazee Bo, Max S and MC Riddimflrt.
MBS were the counterpart to Switzerland’s biggest and most influential crew, United Tribes from Berne. Sadly, both crews dissolved around the millennium but a new collective came out of it, The Engine with Lockee, Fine Style, Led Tampi, MC Fight and myself. Their events at Bierhübeli in Berne in the early 2000s are legendary. Drum & Bass really had its prime back then. There were many other crews like Score Inc, Blackout & RG Promotions, Mute, Tension State, FMI, JUR… and so many others!
After playing at basically all Swiss venues and raves of the era and in Czech Republic regularly, even at „Let it Roll 10“ I stepped back to focus on my job career. At this time technology for DJs changed from analog to digital, but I decided not to go on with CDJ’s and refused to make this step. I've never stopped listening to D&B, once it’s in your DNA, you can’t stop listening to it, as you probably know..

By the beginning of 2024 i‘ve received a booking for a reunion bash in Prague from my good old CZ-Mate Michal. A massive happening to me, i just had to be a part of this! Anyway, there were no Turntables at the club so i had to get with XDJ’s… So i am finally gone digital since early 24 ▶️⏹️↔️↕️🔄
