The wonderful Karine steps up for our 40th MASS podcast. It's an honour to present her beautiful sound which has long been at the heart of Kiev's Closer club. 

As long time booker at the beloved club and now based in Berlin, Karine's subtle sound is a product of dedication to this culture. Lean, tasteful rhythms blend effortlessly, packed with a bite that the Ukrainian sound embodies so well

Another b2b on the series by Anaïs and Oscar - the talented couple and duo who own one of Europe's finest record shops, soundcloud.com/legramvg

They claim to have listened to MMSU (whilst working in the store) more than anyone else. Maybe they are right, cos they nailed it.

"This is a kind of honest mix that I've recorded using the same record bag I took to one of my recent gigs, featuring music from Umwelt, Damon Wild, Kassem Mosse, Timeline and many more..."

The Closer (Kyiv) resident and Lifeform record shop owner, Andre aka Shakolin - having played for us in London at the end of 2023 - shares a recent home recording for the 18th instalment in the series.

Plaintive speech from Oppenheimer and bleepy techno open the recording with a sense of foreboding for what's about to unravel.

Shakolin meanders his way through dubbed out acid lines and a particularly relevant style of glitchy, minimalist techno. A soft and reflective moment of electro shifts the mix down a gear before proceeding with driving, 4X4 grooves. 

This 75 minute recording comes from a seasoned digger and selector who has rightfully made his way to some of the best underground stages and platforms in the world. 

Enjoy :) <3

An hour of laidback selections from Rustam.  While he is often heard in Kyiv's Closer, we heard him play at the unforgettable Zorepad Festival near Lviv in August and instantly asked him for a contribution to the Drum Syrup series.

Marie K's intriguing sound caught our attention from the very first listen. 

As a resident at Amsterdam's Breakfast Club and based in Rotterdam, her skills both behind the decks and in the studio have been nurtured over the years, defining a highly personal presence within dance music. Whether you catch Marie spinning records or playing live on her machines, the passion shines bright.

We first heard Marie playing live at Above Below festival - a fascinating sound that balances a sense of playfulness with cryptic and mystical atmospheres. Her DJ sets channel a similar path with influence from contemporary circles in the likes of Ukraine and Uruguay where a spirited sound is front and centre. 

Tune into this two hour cut of a DJ set at Breakfast Club on the Phonotheque stage. Keep your eyes peeled for Marie's music coming soon on wax ;)

We are Lirica— a record distribution company, dedicated to sharing the passion and meaning behind every track we manufacture and release. Just as lyrical poetry weaves emotion into a narrative, we infuse our love for music into everything we do, connecting artists and listeners through the power of sound.

"Poems of Lirica" is a series of mixes where music is crafted with emotional depth, inspired by the essence of modern lyrical poetry. 

We’ve been eagerly waiting for Cecilio ( Slow Life ) to open this podcast treasures, and it was absolutely worth the wait! A great supporter of our distribution from the very beginning, someone who continues to inspire us through his music.
As Cecilio himself says:

Dub was key in the development of electronic/dance music, and one of my biggest influences. Here you find a lil trip where the main theme is "basslines that breath dub".

Turn up the volume and get ready for some fat bass!

Stay tuned for more "Poems of Lirica"!

'I wanted to blend that nostalgic sound from when I first started with the music and what I’m currently digging. The idea was to create a journey, starting with some early 2000s electro-techno and minimalistic stuff, then moving towards a more straightforward techno, and finishing with Goa trance and Acid. It’s like a full package of where I started and where I am now. The mix is longer because I didn’t want to compress it into one hour it needed a wider timeframe for the blend to feel smooth and natural.''

Basic Moves founder Walrus joins us on the podcast this week. Active as both a DJ and producer for well over a decade, Michiel's also been putting on some of Brussel’s finest parties in recent years, under both his label's banner and a new series called Beautiful Freaks, which he runs alongside Pinguin Society Collective and many other friends.  

Quality and warmth ooze from everything he’s involved in, reflecting an all-round lovely human. DIM322 is no different, a hazy journey through soft breaks, earworm electro, housey goodness and more. We’re very excited to welcome him for a Dimensions this summer.

They called it a ‘colorful techno daydream’ and I wouldn’t say better — I was trying to stay away from black this time and make a soft-gliding atlas of muted tones and shifting light. Thank you, EOS radio, for the invitation!

Capodoperes digital series continues its deep exploration with Anucnuc EP by Etro Hahn - a three-track selection carved from the darker side of minimal. Built on groovy, sub-heavy basslines and sharp vocal fragments, each track radiates a moody energy thats both immersive and floor-ready. Etro Hahn crafts a shadowy, rhythmic world where tension simmers and groove takes control.

PREMIERE: Etro Hahn - Answerverse [CPD070]
