Next up in Brouqade & Friends, an hour expertly delivered by Snad (@snad), recorded live at Club der Visionäre. 

The Berlin-based (by way of Philadelphia & Chicago) rising star and force behind labels Spandrel & We R The Aliens boasts a stellar track record and is quickly and unswervingly establishing himself amongst elite global House Producers and DJs.

From countryside calm to cosmic dancefloor calls, Manata digs for nuggets of gold - both musical and metaphysical. Having grown from small-town gigs in central Portugal to sunrise closings on Berlin’s Hoppetosse and label showcases in Brooklyn, João Manata's journey is one shaped by persistence, dusty grooves, and a Fantom 06 that rarely leaves his side. The DJ/producer’s story isn’t one of overnight buzz, but of careful curation, endless digging, and a love for records that started with Stevie Wonder and unexpectedly found its way to ‘90s Trance gems.

Now with the launch of his new label Red Beryl Records – a spiritual successor to his Nugs On Board imprint – Manata revisits the past to shape the future, uncovering unheard treasures from decades gone by. “Since Nugs is all about precious gems, I got the idea for Red Beryl after doing a small research about rare stones… it’s one of the rarest minerals on Earth,” he explains. 

In this candid and wide-ranging interview, Manata opens up about vinyl-fueled upbringings, the early Lisbon hustle, hazelnut cookies in the studio, and the joy of seeing a dancefloor respond to a long-forgotten Belgian trance record from 1995.

“For me, producing or playing music is like telling a story. I love to get vocal samples from old movies or NASA space journeys and build my tracks around that.”

Prepare to dig deep with Manata - because the gold’s always there for those willing to unearth it.

We’re thrilled to present the next episode of our podcast series: a hypnotic and cinematic mix by Georgian artist Razhden, who also released his debut record on our imprint, Chat Noir Hors-série.
This exclusive set dives deep into the emotional and mysterious layers of Razhden’s sonic world — a journey marked by slow-burning dramaturgy, minimalist textures, and a strong sense of narrative. Blending downtempo rhythms with subtle, atmospheric details, the mix reflects his personal connection to music and passion.

Kiosk Radio Residency — August 2025

This is a recording of Alfonsvs 3h slot at the Wintergarten floor of Sisyphos on a very warm summer evening, right after a great set by Hisham Zahran and just before Adriana Ruas destroyed the floor.  
The sun was shining through the windows and the dancefloor was filling up nicely during the first half of the set. On the second half of the set, the dancefloor was packed with beautiful dancers in this cosy room, where the Dj plays between two sets of stairs with people dancing both in front of the booth but also in the balcony above and behind the booth and on the stairs going up to the balcony, giving it a real 360º feel. 
The sound was warm, and the people were screaming during bigger breaks and even when the needle skipped the record at one time. CRAZY!!!

Alfonsvs @ Sisyphos Berlin - Wintergarten - CSD Weekend 27/07/2025 (7pm - 10pm)

We're welcoming one of our all time favourites and long standing resident of Slipped Discs, Frav. 

The mans a weapon, and this mix proves it yet again. There's not much to say that hasn't been said about Frav, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

The Pushamann 
What's the connection between hairdressing and electronic music? “None!”, you might think... Well, think again. The Pushamann is the missing link between these two creative industries, injecting just as much flair and panache into his DJ sets as he does when whipping up his latest creation in the salon. 
The Pushamann is 31-year-old Charles Kerr, a man who has become a favourite at fabric, making regular appearances at the seminal club since 2008. During a career spanning 10 years Kerr has also set up his own label NoN Music, landed his own show on Rinse FM and has several releases under his belt. His penchant for all things 4/4 means he provides a diverse, though cohesive, performance wherever he plays, merging traditional house grooves, nu disco, deep techno and venturing into leftfield territory when the situation allows. There is no preference with genres, “If I like it, I'll play it,” he says. It's as simple as that. Over the years, the hairdresser has proven time and again that he is a cut above many of his peers when it comes to connecting with his audience and working up dancefloors into a frenzy. 
Inspirations range from US and UK garage to funk, soul and disco while UK titans such as Craig Richards and Terry Francis have also fueled The Pushamann's love for music – in fact, the latter of the two was responsible for his big break. Terry Francis booked The Pushamann to play at fabric six years ago and he's been a constant fixture ever since, playing at the club every three months. 
Despite this dream residency and its fringe benefits he's continued to work hard and has never been complacent, knowing full well that the music business is a fickle one and the only way to ensure longevity in one's career is to maintain a consistency high work ethic. The Pushamann's dedication to his night-time career has seen him play at venues such as Turnmills (RIP), Corsica Studios, Basing House, Cafe 1001 and Building Six to more intimate locations such as the infamous Star of Bethnal Green and Rolling Stock. While recent overseas gigs include an appearance at Berlin's Kater Holzig. 
In the process of building a long-lasting career, he has invested all his spare time and energy into maintining his club night, Nature or Nurture, where he's the mane attraction along with Terry Francis. This event has led to the birth of an offshoot label, which he cites as representing “real house sounds for real house heads”. Artists including Lewis Ryder, Marc Ashkan, Zeitgeist and Mitch Davis have all released on the label, as well as Kerr himself. His own productions reflecting the energy and dexterity he displays in his DJ sets; with sleazy, deep and sensual grooves built for the dancefloor. 
As 2014 gets into full swing, Kerr looks to the future with an assured focus on maintaining the high level he has already achieved. More appearances at fabric are already booked in for his ever popular NoN Music takeovers, plus gigs overseas including bookings in the ever fertile German capital, Berlin where he'll be playing at The Chalet club. This year will also see a renewed focus on production, with an EP in collaboration with his good friend Alexander Wall due for release via NoN very soon, along with many other studio projects penciled in for this year. 
With a ten-year-long career already behind him, The Pushamann has the experience and knowledge to continue marching on to the very top. You can rest assured that he's hair to stay!
