Human Safari Live at UNFOLD - 21.5.23

Strongly shaped by the raw and forward-leaning sound of 90’s Techno, Milan based artist Alarico Zucchi started his journey into electronic music in 2015 making his way through clubs as a DJ while learning the art of music production. 

The inauguration of ‘Alarico’ occurred in 2019 after previously exploring several sub-genres of Techno. The alias was formed as a statement to showcase a style that was personal to him. Personal in a way that he became captivated within the patterns and structures of his own sound. So-much-so that his multiple our long podcasts solely consisting of his own material made him stand out from a whole host of young and promising producers and DJs. 

Known for fast paced rhythms and kinky grooves he has released music consistently since his debut in 2020 on Joton’s imprint “Newrhytmic Records”. Shortly after he launched his own vinyl imprint “Katana Records”, which showcases the more mental and introverted side of his idea of Techno. He certainly cemented his rank in today’s Techno landscape through releases on Matrixxman’s highly acclaimed “The Grid”, Token Records and sees a bright future with a forthcoming release on SHDW & Obscure Shape’s newest endeavour “Mutual Rytm”. 

Alarico continues to position himself as a unique music lover, exploring the depths and possibilities of sound. He stands for permanently pushing boundaries and stirring this attitude with his background of Hip Hop and Japanese culture.

Gradient Guestmix by @coolcharlie

Cool Charlie is his name and edits are his game. Hailing from Athens, Greece, his minimal house beats and razor-sharp edits have resonated with crowds across the world, supported by icons like Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Chasewest, Blackchild, and Sosa. Charlie is a purist at heart. He believes in the essence of house music: raw, unadulterated beats and infectious grooves. Eschewing the trappings of persona and overproduction, he lets his music speak for itself – all the while maintaining a shroud of mystery around his identity. We at Gradient are honored to present his debut recorded mix.

GTGPDCST001 | Cari Lekebusch

Given everything going on, I figured that now would be a great time to provide everybody with an opportunity to let go, and to lose themselves in the dance for a blissful ~hour. I present my latest mix to you all, Belters Only, Volume 6. Please give it a listen!

Being the 6th edition of the "Belters Only" mix series, I decided to drastically change the genre that this mix focused on. Volume 6 features a mix of some of my favorite Hard Groove and classic Techno sounding tracks. Highlights include deep Techno cuts from legendary tastemakers such as DJ Misjah, and some new & unreleased tracks by Hard Groove specialists such as Undivulged and Play Boy Joe.

Also, forgive me! My XDJ totally shit the bed at around throughout the set, specifically at minute 57:00, resulting in the mix's audio cutting out preemptively one 1 deck at times. At the end of my mix, it completely shit itself. I resolved the issue, but not until after the mix was finished! Unfortunately, I was unable to recover the rest of the recording, but still put together what was salvaged, which to me, is still quite damn decent! Enjoy an hour of high energy, heart pumping, unrelenting basslines, and please - share with a friend!

I complied a track list (track title - artist) for you all. Keep reading below:

• 1). 0:00: Houwe Zo - Denn Punk
• 2). 3:00: Tool 10 - Beau Didier
• 3). 5:24: Visbak - Undivulged (Blended with Tool 10)
• 4). 7:40: Never Faded - Play Boy Joe
• 5). 10:24: Het Is Tejd - Denn Punk
• 6). 14:03: Nosebleed - Aidan Rudd
• 7). 17:30: Go Get It - CULT (Blended with Nosebleed)
• 8). 20:28: Innocent Player [LVRNM16] - KVLR (Blended with Go Get It)
• 9). 23:25: Kick Start - Play Boy Joe
• 10). 26:02: Do Dat Basket - Edvvin (Blended with Kick Start)
• 11). 30:00: Highline Dancer - Paque
• 12). 33:29: Body Whispers - Chlar (Blended with Highline Dancer)
• 13). 37:02: Textured Memories - CULT
• 14). 39:26: Flawless Perspective - DJ MISJAH (Blended with Textured Memories)
• 15). 44:06: Outsidaz - Ned Bennett
• 16). 46:50: All Cap - BEADS
• 17). 48:51: Work It - Undivulged (Blended with All Cap) - Pardon the cut out
• 18). 53:00: Show Me The Sky - Tommy Holohan
• 19). 58:35: Amphetamine - Clouds (Cut off by audio mishap)

I hope that you enjoy!
