These are some of the first records that pulled me out of French house and into the deeper side of electronic music: Shari Vari, Join in the Chant, What Time Is Love?, early I-F and Parallax Corporation, Alden Tyrell, Legowelt, Carretta, Agoria, and later the Gesloten Cirkel and Hacker cuts. Played in chronological order, they trace a clear line from early proto-techno and EBM into The Hague’s electro machinery and the darker European sound that came after it. I haven’t heard a lot of these in years, so the show is a way of going back to where it started, before jumping forward to the present with Blawan – WFT to close it out.

Rising Sun - I Dreamed (Edit II)

Ibiza has changed a lot. It isn't what it once was that's for sure.

However, from time to time you might just catch a glimpse of what it was and what it still means to an awful lot of people. Andy is an old friend of Ransom Note and for those in the know he's a bit of an unsung hero having worked behind the scenes at various record labels you probably love. He's probably signed some of your favourite records but he wouldn't tell you that himself.

Anyway, a few weeks back he sent us this mix which was a recreation of a set he played at Sundays At Pikes this summer. Pikes remains one of the last strongholds of the culture in Ibiza, a place which represents the very essence of the island and the state of mind.

Think balearic dreams, sunsets and all that jazz. It's the real deal.

Anyway, Andy soundtracked it and it made us smile.

Phil Kieran - Glasgow 28/11/25 - Luna Roja

Live from Sound Metaphors in Berlin.

Italian DJ, radio host, and curator based in Berlin, Luca Carluccio (aka Luca Elsi) is known for his ability to blend Italo, Disco, and House into sets that transform dancefloors into timeless sonic journeys.

Through ELSI, his project that functions both as a record label and party series, Luca celebrates and reinterprets the Italian sound within Berlin’s electronic scene, building a living bridge between his Mediterranean roots and the city’s vibrant international energy.

With years of experience in the music business, first as a booking agent and later as a licensing manager for the legendary DJ-Kicks series, Luca combines refined taste and deep musical knowledge with a forward-thinking, contemporary vision. The result is a constantly evolving sonic universe, where respect for nightlife history and the future meet on the dancefloor, driven by authentic rhythms and the pure essence of club culture.

DEMON QUEEN - Lamborghini Meltdown

Founded in the UK in 2008, The Quietus is one of the world’s leading independent websites for quality longform writing on visionary and modernist music and culture, covering all genres with an equal weighting.

The Quietus treats the emerging artists of the genre-melting present with the same reverence the mainstream reserves for the stale canon of yesteryear. We look to reappraise and revitalise those artistic pioneers abandoned in the hinterland.

We champion trailblazing and illuminating cultural journalism from around the world – numerous successful writers and broadcasters are first published on our pages.

After years held back by a creaking old website, The Quietus (tQ to our friends) has been regenerated, providing an indispensable portal to a realm of cultural discovery, devilment and debate.

“The Quietus believes in the power of cultural criticism to cut through the noise of social media and the ultimately disappointing guidance of tech platform algorithms. To write down a series of words that have never been combined before, expressing a complex series of emotions, thoughts and experiences that unites writer and reader at a level that feels telepathic and changes the joint experience of reality: That is the definition of magic.” – tQ Co-founder John Doran.
