~ Christian S [Germany] ~

The great Christian S a.k.a. “the man with the masterplan” from Cologne is an old hand who has been djing for more than 20 years. Since the mid-90s, his flawless career has taken him all over the world, from Europe to the US. Back in time, he earned his stripes promoting parties locally and had been holding a well-deserved residency called “Lost” together with the like-minded fellow Matias Aguayo for many years. No doubt that these parties has casted a major influence on him and his current tastes both as a producer and DJ. Now, he is part of the international Cómeme crew and is regularly blessing his audience with top-notch radio shows. It’s also noteworthy that he made his first Boiler Room appearance in 2014, throwing a memorable eclectic house set you should keep getting back to when you feel uninspired. As an artist, he is this kind of wild and careful selector who tightly unearths gems from all genres, from house to techno through disco, to create a fine assortment of oddball dance music. There’s absolutely no barriers in his style, which enables him to freely express his adaptive take on house music with limitless creativity. Since the beginning, he has been supported by a wide number of promoters and clubs across the world (Panorama Bar, Salon des Amateurs, De School, etc.), honorably establishing him at the rank of top DJ.

All that being said, this is a masterful house mix brimming with propulsive and intoxicating jams that he gave us as a gift. Those intriguing and jangling melodies from Antonelli, Raphael Top Secret and Nelson Bishop are truly perfect to open the spring season under the best possible conditions.

✦ Mix 017 by Pytzek ✦
Track ID - @pytzek

Mario Kolonic Pyztek started to DJ 20 years ago. Massively influenced by the flourishing hip hop culture in the beginning but with the arrival of acid house and rave marked an opening of a whole new world of influences. In 1999 he moved to Zagreb where he started working at the 'Multimedia Institute' MAMA. That organisation has influenced his further music development in the best possible manner, being the place where he first started his DJ career.
During all that time Pytzek remained active working as a member of the 'Multimedia Institute "MAMA" where he became part of the MAMATRONIK.
In 2010, Pytzek and his partner Mislav started a record label @burek. "Burek" as being a favorite snack in Croatia, sparked an idea roughly a decade ago when Pytzek and his partner Mislav set goals by releasing music they're so passionate about. Basic idea was to press fat beats and hot electronic club tracks on wax, wrapped in plain white paper and served to music-hungry people all around the world.
We are very happy to have Pytzek for our series as we have always been a fan of his podcasts, especially the one he did for Les Yeux Orange: https://soundcloud.com/les-yeux-orange/lyo139-pytzek-burek in case you are looking forward to more ;)

Have a happy start of summer!
Many more new mixes coming soon 🐬

For the next mix in our podcast series, we welcome a special mix from DJ City live at Gegen, Pornceptual, RSO, Berlin. 

'Johan originally hailing from Stockholm, now residing in Berlin is known for long eclectic DJ sets, effortlessly moving within the various shapes of house, disco & techno. Holding down a residency at the infamous Cocktail D‘Amore party series, he’s become an integral part of the Berlin scene. 

With his musical productions he‘s been equally versatile. Since his debut on Public Possession in 2019 he found a temporary sweet spot in what could vaguely be described as vocal house, but in fact is much more, taking influences from EBM, Italo and electro clash all tied together by his deep, poetic, tongue in cheek lyrics. 

His songs dealing with love, sex, beliefs & life in a modern metropolis are quite likely being cued up world wide by the likes of Gerd Janson, Jennifer Cardini, Perel, Sedef Adasi and Seth Troxler"

The start of the year is always tough and with rekordbox struggles, Johan drifts us  back to the night of New Years Day where he played on day 2 of 4 at Berlin's RSO night club for Gegen and Pornceptual, who had joined forces to celebrate the New Year. 

In the words of Johan. "I played the penthouse floor which was like a secret little chalet hidden in the attic in one of the former factory buildings. I played my music surrounded by dancers and queer monsters and gods that made me feel both lost and right at home at the same time, just how the night should feel!"

Enjoy!

Uncanny Valley Radio 087 - Best of 2022

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Absolutely thrilled to have the stunning selector Vio PRG contribute the first mix of the year!

Vio has spent the last 10 years roaming the full spectrum of the music industry, from her early days as an event organizer and journalist in her native Bucharest to the front lines of the Berlin scene as a DJ, radio host, writer and DJ tutor. Her Flight Mode show on Refuge Worldwide radio is a passionate crate dig, always on the lookout for weird and wonderful balearic, disco and afrobeat. A 90's kid, she brings that nostalgia into her sets, playing old school house and techno paired with fresh releases from leftfield labels and classics alike.
