Massimiliano Pagliara's current-yet-classic style can best be described as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno. The Berghain / Panorama Bar resident runs his own label Funnuvojere Records and releases on labels such as Live At Robert Johnson, Ostgut Ton, and Permanent Vacation. Massimiliano delivered an outstanding remix for DC Salas' 'Time Well Spent' that was released on TAU last week bit.ly/Tau032 – which is also included in this brand new dj mix for our TAU Cast series. @massimilianopagliara

People usually talk about Berlin, London, New York when discussing electronic music hotspots, and Paris doesn't always get its due. Case in point? It produced Jennifer Cardini, one of the most distinctive DJs to to ever come out of the city. (She's lived in Germany for a while, but the point stands.) Her sound lands somewhere between disco, house and EBM, rooted in a groovy, post-modern chug. You'll hear nu-disco, industrial, techno and electro too, usually built around big hooks. It's a sound that is not only instantly recognizable, but instantly likable.

As a producer, Cardini also deserves her flowers. She's been putting out records since the mid-'90s, and with her first label Correspondant, she's built up a rock-solid catalogue from artists like Fort Romeau, Man Power, Cormac and more. More recently she started the Dischi Autunno imprint, a place for more crossover-friendly music that indulges Cardini's tastes for all things melodic (and maybe a little goth).

Cardini's RA Podcast is a beautiful summary of all these ideas and influences. It's hard and banging, sure, but also lithe and athletic. There are plenty of tracks with the surge of EBM or the stab of industrial. Lots of reverb. Decadent melodies undergirded by tough drum patterns. And it's paced as expertly as you'd expect from someone who's been DJing for over 30 years. In the interview below, Cardini says she "loves how the young generation is digesting four decades of club / rave culture," and you can hear that history living and breathing in Cardini's DJing, too.

RA.870 Jennifer Cardini

Mauricio Rebolledo is one of those veteran artists who has stood the test of time. He can play Burning Man, go back-to-back with DJ Tennis and mentor young producers with unwavering finesse, staying true to his signature sound of sparse, psychedelic chuggers. Where many of his peers have embraced a more commercial sound, the Mexican artist likes to keep it weird, opting for touches of Krautrock and hazy atmospherics in both his sets and on his albums.

He tends to be associated with tribal drums and screwy trance, but in reality, the Hippie Dance cofounder and long-time Kompakt affiliate is a man of many influences—as heard on his RA Podcast. Whimsical interludes of French dance pop and retro synth-wave are interspersed with shoegazey electronics ("Dive" by Pale Blue) as well as plenty of his own productions, which blur the lines between minimal house and techno. 

This is a hypnotic, brooding journey that starts and ends with versions of Justus Köhncke's "Elan," which adds to the mix's loopy feel. (There's also a Prins Thomas remix thrown in for good measure.) No peaks or climaxes here, just long plateaus of zigzagging synths and winding chords. Turn on, tune in and drop out, as they say.

A recording from the beautiful Equation Festival in Vietnam.
Thank you so much everybody, organizers and everyone on the dance floor alike!

This is a mono recording so the sound is not ideal unfortunately, but should be well and good enough for a portable bluetooth speaker.

CENTER YOURSELF is a podcast series curated by Robert Johnson. Each episode is created by one of our regulars—some are made for this occasion and some are hand-picked from the club's own archive.

"Recorded at Robert Johnson on the 8th of November in 2014, this mix is a mix (tautology!) of ambient appetizers, typical starter records, dance floor advances, introspective interludes and a slow approach to debauchery that followed. Or to be intellectually more lowbrow or honest and to prevent a sophomore essay about the art of the warm up: music that sounds good at the start. Thank you for listening." Gerd Janson
