For our 30th instalment we have a very special submission via Milano. 

Balleremo & Cura Festival resident, Ortensio brings us an extended mix testing the limits of 'dance music' - a beautifully introspective blend of slow jams, percussive textures, moments of serenity contrasted with moments of total chaos and more dub infused and bass heavy sounds.

Super beautiful, thank you Ortensio <3

For this mix I wanted to try and build a blend some of the outcome of my researches towards the different shades and forms of danceable music I personally enjoy the most, possibly limiting as much as possible the usage of music conceived and created specifically for the contemporary dance floors and sound systems, and trying to dig deeper into different dimensions of regular and non-regular rhythms, music jams and head-moving sonic creations from all over the world, mostly focusing on the mediterranean macro area and more.

My past, when I was living in Berlin and DJing more regularly in clubs, has helped me shape my technical skills. Milano instead has helped me breaking my limits, getting out of my comfort zone and destroying a lot of the patterns that, as a DJ and Music Maker, were locking me down in a box. There’s a lot of oxygen, curiosity and creativity nowadays in my everyday life.

Definitely one of the kinetic events. I prefer small DIY events over infamous and hyper-celebrated social gatherings. The only thing I care the most about lately is the sound system.

Can’t avoid trying to bring some attention to our beloved creature, @balleremo-04-14. Also, there’s a few, but definitely @ormeye and DNN’s LOBO, Dubwise, Buka and Evolvere are some of my favorites. But I’m sure I’m forgetting some.

𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐉 / 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐮𝐩?
Definitely @st-ill, @piezopz, @notmass / @cipppo, @biasedraw and @ernestobellicini.

There’s too many. But my most recent was at my place, with some of my most loved friends during an endless after party.

The city where I live, Milano, for the vibe. And lately, our event “Balleremo”. There’s other cities I love way more tho for the sound systems.

𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐱?
There’s really too many. I can mention some of the artists tho: Mala, @keinobjekt, @djrum.
