Fresh produce from the man behind the synths. 8008 EP is the sixth edition in Varum’s discography. Showcasing his signature style of bouncy beats with just the right hint of breaks thrown in. True to its creator, this EP is not playing it shy when it comes to bold synth-lines and making the best of the drum machines at hand. A wild ride in various tempi and vibes.

Mostly comprised of tracks released in the 1990s, and many from the Chicago and the Twin Cities, this set embodies the raw sound of Techno and Acid emerging from the Midwest in the 80s, and 90s. 

I was inspired to stick to only older tracks for this set after discovering Woody McBride’s EP “Basketball Heroes”, released in 1996 on his label Communique Records. Tracks released on Damon Wild’s label Synewave, originally founded in New York City, play a significant part in the set (I included a couple tracks from Synewave’s UK branch as well). If you listen closely you might hear slight variations between the Midwest and East Coast sound, which exude a crisp, minimalist tone, as opposed to the more playful grooves that were unfolding in Chicago. Lastly, I threw in a couple of surprise tracks released on the London label, Stay Up Forever.//

Invites Radio ft. Riles (IR018)

Welcoming back to the IR mix-series we have a groovy house infused offering from @rileyheyfron aka Riles.

“A mix full of feel-good house music—the kind you’d expect to hear on an open-air dance floor during the daylight hours.

The mix features plenty of fun ’90s house, some proggy bits, and a few of my favorite rips from a record collection I’m slowly building —including some standout ones from The Lisa Marie Experience.”

This mix inspired by the track selections from artists like @jobjobse, @palmstrax, @clint-official and @angeldlite.

This mix is made to be on repeat.

R̶E̶F̶L̶E̶X̶I̶N̶T̶E̶R̶F̶R̶E̶N̶C̶E̶ [Subtle Radio, 03.25]

CH3LO is the thirty-eight guest of MISS DREAMZCAST, our weekly series celebrating the DJs we love as they grace us with the music that makes us smile and gets us dancing.

Ch3lo is a multidisciplinary artist born in Cuenca (Spain), currently residing between Berlin and Madrid, whose essence defies all hegemony; they hold the key to unlocking the closed minds that stand in their way. Their music and groundbreaking aesthetics seem to come from a distant planet. Always favoring rare and emotive sounds in their selection, far from the conventional, and infused with a heavy dose of dance. Ch3lo balances their work as the chromatic director for Okuda San Miguel with their passion for music in the fields of production and DJing, signing under two aliases that allow them to explore the vast world of music without constraints. Ch3lo, their harder alias, focuses on 4x4 beats, exploring frenetic energy and pleasure, with sets that take us on a journey to unexplored emotions and familiar melodies you won’t be able to resist singing along to. Their rhythms will penetrate your body, drenching it in sweat and dopamine. And Bootychelly, their more experimental alias, where a wide variety of rhythms come together, though their preference for Latin beats is always present. These high-temperature, sensual sets will have booties bouncing uncontrollably on the dance floor. Their label Tr4mb0l1k4, conceived as a platform to showcase their music to the world, as well as that of various LGTBIQA+ artists, aims to serve as a breeding ground for both dance and listening music. Their journey through clubs across the entire peninsula includes names like Mondo Disko, Razzmatazz, and Spook, or their Tr4mb0l1k4 x ElRow collaboration, where they curated music and animation for the Pink Cathedral, the queer tent that hosted three of their events at the beginning of 2024 in Andorra and Madrid. Upcoming projects include the duo with P.E.A.R.L. called "Perfume de Sudor", and their life and career will also be featured in a short documentary produced by Migratorium.
