Descendants w. Chris Mitchell [12.04.2021]

We've long marvelled at Amsterdam's nightlife scene here across the pond. While UK clubland has been through a period of drastic closures and uncertainty, the Dutch capital has thrived, with spots springing up in and around the city.

On the outskirts, on the Gedempt Hamerkanaal you'll find Garage Noord; a restaurant-cum-bar-cum-club boasting a diverse and singular music policy, largely down to the ear of Bram Owusu, one of the minds behind the space. 

Moonlighting under the moniker BK Owusu, Bram's tastes lurk in the dark corners of drone-soaked rhythms, lo-fi punk and metallic electro; sounds he terms as "distortion with a soul". That's what he brings to the table for this week's Alternative Mix, an intoxicating mix of sonics to get lost in...

Only For Robots 177 - Mike Tansella Jr.

A new recording in the Phase Group Mix series coming to us from France thanks to the intriguing Erevan DJ. 

Erevan DJ heads up the excellent Bamboo Shows label out of Lyon and is behind some fascinating releases that delve into the realms of deep and psychedelic ambient music, trance reflections, fourth world tribal meditations and sci-fi dub dancefloor experiments. Make sure to check out the Bamboo Shows Tapes compilations and Jonquera's album on the imprint. 

For his Phase Group Mix he's provided us with a deep listening experience, inviting you into the sonic environments that inform his work with the label, beginning with serene and blissful ambient sounds, moving through spoken words layered with uncanny sound design,  industrial dub, mutant folk music, dark trance and IDM. Thanks Loïs!

Galactic Funk Podcast 055 - Chris Mitchell

Kristiina a resident DJ at Kaiku since it’s opening in 2013. Her affection for heavy snare drums and mystical atmospheres can be heard weekly on Radio Helsinki, where she plays weirdo synth cuts, EBM, dark(er) Italo and twisted House together with Irene Kostas. Her name has been on most people’s lips in Helsinki for quite some time now, so it was only natural that 2017 and -18 saw her break out of the local and on to the international. Early 2019 sees her billed for Panorama Bar for CTM Festival.
