@topper grew up in Turin (IT) surrounded by substances and tunes typical of a hippie-kind of environment. Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd were his daily milk. His dad, the "hippie", had a huge influence on him, and introduced his curious kid into the magic world of music and psychedelic culture. That’s the reason why he felt like he was born for music. Right at the beginning of the 3rd millennium he decided to move to Berlin. Since then, Topper is experimenting with his sound, discovering the hidden shapes of electronic and recorded music, meanwhile performing as dj with several Berlin crews (Klangsucht above all) and at several underground parties all around the city.

Since 2009 he’s resident with Daniele Papini at Club der Visionäre, hosting the infamous Noisy Glance party. Together with Daniele he joined @sleep-is-commercial and became one of the djs/producers on which the label's sound in productions and parties is focused on. He's resident in all Sleep is Commercial parties in Berlin. After his sound engineering studies and some years of deep studio engagement, in 2014 he released his first LP “Down by the River” and a handful of very well received EPs and remixes. Moving to the infamous Pausenraum studio was the definitive shift into a jam based creative process through a hardware setup, whose outcome will be the foundation of 3 labels to be started in 2015.

Sultry low-end grooves from a rising house enchantress.

"What kind of music do I actually want to play?" Every artist asks themselves this at some point in their career. What is a sound? And why do we personally identify with it? For Lea Lang, AKA dj sweet6teen, this question is the guiding force behind her RA Mix.

Born in Aachen, a German spa city close to the border with Belgium, Lang found her musical feet in the vibrant student hub of Cologne. It was while studying social work at the Technische Hochschule that she fell into the nightlife scene. 

Finding her sound wasn't an instant process. Lang cut her teeth on breaks-heavy house and prog (think Angel D'Lite), traces of which you can hear peppered across RA.1004. But as she explains in this week's Q&A, the pandemic years were, musically, a turning point. 

"High BPMs and short-lived trends became very dominant and I realised I couldn't stand the pace anymore," she writes. "That's when my sound naturally shifted into something more minimalist and timeless."

Nowadays, you'll find Lang in Berlin during the week, and on weekends… well, take your pick. A busy touring schedule means she's on the road almost constantly —this summer she's debuted at Horst Arts & Music, Butik, Dimensions and Panorama Bar (to name just a few). 

And her RA Mix? It oozes charm from the jump. Buoyant with gyrating low-end, it's hard to think her sound was ever anything else: vocals twirl around analogue basslines, material à la Eddie Richards and Terry Francis's historic Wiggle parties, as well as the kind of bongo action that wouldn't feel out of place in an Apollonia session. Call it waft, wiggle, smooch house—whatever it is, we like it.

Super stoked to have hosted the amazing Elli.on for a Sunday session at the studio to showcase her stellar sound! A fine selector and co-founder of the wonderful Vaginistan collective, you don't want to miss this sick mix and better make sure you follow her movements through the scene: @ew89

A bit dubby on the sides, yet warm and smooth deep into the core. AGP's warmed up the Tresor Berlin dancefloor right before Ion Ludwig in August 2025, morphing the soundwaves into various shades of house music. Give it a listen for that special "I was I was there" feeling!

For our Christmas Edition, we’re happy to welcome back Denis Kaznacheev — an artist whose journey with MEOKO has unfolded across multiple chapters and moods.

From his deep, groove-driven MEOKO Podcast appearance in 2018, through the left-field and experimental landscapes of our FUTURΣWAVES series, to his powerful contribution to Drop Beats Not Bombs, Denis has consistently delivered music with intention, depth, and emotional intelligence.

This Christmas Edition mix is a seasonal reflection — warm, immersive and carefully curated. Expect a fluid journey through cozy spheres, subtle euphoria and introspective moments, designed for winter nights, quiet mornings, and shared listening. A soundtrack for slowing down, reconnecting, and closing the year with feeling.

As always, Denis reminds us that electronic music is both thoughtful and human — and this mix is his holiday gift to the MEOKO community. ❄️🖤
