butik 2023 artists

Slovenian prodigy Akaj joined our Operator radio show for a mind-bending trip. The 20-year old runs his own label Origin, he is part of the Rite of Passage collective and has a developed taste in music. Needless to say, but keep an eye on him in the coming years and you won't be disappointed.

Next up, we have invited Slovenian prodigy and Origin label founder, Akaj! We first came across him from his early productions under his alias Biokid on Origin a couple of years back and have been following him ever since... He is also now a part of the Rite of Passage collective based in both Ljubljana and Rotterdam!

With this mix he shows his unique style as a DJ too. Some really interesting sounds on display here for #5 in our podcast series. Tuck in and enjoy! ✨

#5 - Akaj (Rite of Passage)

The unstoppable mega talent Anetha joins us for the perfect mid-week pick me up with a deep and sweet mix for the LT Podcast series. The Mama Told Ya label head takes us on an intimate journey through old school classics and forthcoming unreleased gems from her label, all blended seamlessly and maintaining a high-energy throughout. Get stuck in!

In Anetha's Words:
For this one I came up with 1h+ that is a slightly different from my last couple of podcasts / mixes. Musically I went with a pretty high pace here but still keeping it on the deep, sweet & intimate side of things. 
The mix Is constructed of old time classics alongside a few upcoming (un)release(d)s from Mama told ya. It comes with an epic & nostalgic touch at the end, felt that it can't hurt at the moment. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

LT Podcast 214 // Anetha

When it comes to the sound of modern-day techno—fast, melodic and polyglot, working in genres like trance and gabber—it's hard to find an artist more clearly representative than Anetha. The French DJ encompasses all these influences with style, landing on a lithe sound that's both heavy and nimble, earning her a first residency at Paris party Blocaus (and, currently, Awakenings and Fuse, among others) and appearances on labels like Work Them and Oaks.

What really sets Anetha apart, though, is her commitment to developing and uplifting the artists around her. She launched her own label, Mama Told Ya, in 2019 with a unique and heartwarming concept: each release would highlight an artist, often young or new to the game, and feature one collaboration with Anetha herself. It's a move that turns the usual label-artist dynamic on its head, making each new record a fully-fledged collaboration, and lending her own gravitas to the artist she features. And a year later she started an agency—or what she calls a "creative engine"—to help those artists in a more holistic way.

Her RA Podcast is a perfect way to start 2023: with energy and verve, and a perfect balance of light and dark. This is techno at its most creative, dark and discombobulated beats cut through with glowing vocal samples from some of the most recognizable songs of the past five years. If you wanted to explain to someone what techno sounds like in 2023, you'd do well to start here.
