Emilis Kičiatovas relit his fire for music a year ago when he settled at Nida's "Saulės baras" beach bar. A lifelong on and off relationship with the art got anchored in the brightest of Lithuania's places in a way that you can feel Nida's waves, wind, and sand in Emilis' selection.

It is there that Emilis hosted names from the fruitful local scene like Akvilina, Jaroška, John Patter, Koneliunas, Shkema, Tadas Kani, among others.

Mixing Balearic with House, Krautrock, and darker club sounds, Emilis gets the audience in shape for the starry skies and open-air events in the summer resort. His flow is in there to help the dance and the booze, never naive and always surprising. And just like the irresistible summers in Nida, this selection is warming the bones and there to accompany the unforgettable flirt stories you'll carry back home.

During wintertime, Emilis is stationed in Vilnius, where he joins the infamous scene from the capital.

In his LAYER mix, Emilis shows his seductive side and transports you to Nida in a blink of an eye.

Fabrizio Mammarella has been a key figure in putting contemporary Italian dance music on the global map. The DJ, producer and label owner, who splits his time between his hometown of Chieti and Berlin, honours Italy's rich musical past whilst keeping both eyes firmly fixed on the future. 

Alongside fellow Italian Franz Scala, he's the mind behind Slow Motion Records and its little sister imprint Wrong Era who, for nearly two decades, have peddled a sound they term 'Italian Dance Wave', which draws on heritage sounds like Italo Disco, Proto and Progressive House in a fresh context.

Through the labels he's helped provide a platform to a new crop of contemporary Italian producers, and unsurprisingly this singular style has captured the attention of artists across the world, who are now dabbling in this Italian-influenced sound. Since it's inception in 2005 it's been a home to Italian-hailing producers like dj rocca, System Olympia and Discodromo, as well as artists from all over including Adrian Marth, Rambal Cochet and Pardon Moi.

Inevitably Fabrizio's own music is indebted to these Italian sounds too. Self-described as 'music for dancefloors made with old synthesizers, drum machines and a computer' — a meeting of the old and the new — as well as releasing these sonics on his own imprint, he's made homes at an impressive string of labels like DFA, Permanent Vacation, Correspondant, Les Disques De La Mort and Future Boogie.

We handed the reigns over to him for today's mix. It's a true reflection of what he's all about: futuristic, synth-driven dance music at its finest.

New Zealand producer @HarryCharles follows up his sophomore album MOVEMENT with the new track 'The Luck', which marks a shift towards a more energetic and uplifting direction.

‘The Luck’ blends hook-laden melodies and bright synth layers with a driving deep house groove. It’s a clear evolution from the downtempo, organic moods of MOVEMENT, and signals a bold new chapter for Harry’s sound.

The Luck

Luxuria (Original Mix)

Dark, hypnotic deep and minimal techno with ambient undertones, opening quietly with bass and snare before unfolding into a cinematic, danceable club atmosphere driven by deep sub-bass and evolving synth layers.
