Zapped Cast 020 - Benno Wohl

Golden Pudel Club

Fourth transmission of the unframed cast. This time with philosofiesta and Julani, two of our favourite house selectors from Vienna – always ready to take their time and shape a coherent, heartfelt journey.

@philosofiesta is part of the renowned @journeytotarab crew. She plays from a minimalistic heart – each track a moment, each set a spark.

@julani_slctr is part of @ubootsound, blending digital and vinyl selections rooted in underground house.

Lately, the two have been joining forces on a steady basis – sharing their love for warm grooves and long blends.

Best enjoyed with open windows and no sense of time.

P.S.: You can catch them playing b2b at our first unframed night at Flucc Vienna on August 9. More details soon.

Fifth edition of the unframed cast. This time with Hamburg based @sebastianstrootmann – gently shifting between different house genres, from darker shades to brighter grooves, always with a steady pulse underneath.

Driven by a love for storytelling through rhythm, Seb has shaped sonic journeys as part of the DJ collective @clubberware, performing at well-known clubs and venues in Leipzig, Osnabrück and Hamburg. His sets have also resonated across borders – from underground raves and open airs in Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, the US, and Cape Verde.

Welcome to the playful side of Sebastian Strootmann.

MIKROMAL. #021 by Philosofiesta b2b Ethane
[engl. below]

Mit Mix Nr. 022 melden sich Philosfiesta, ursprünglich aus Rumänien, und Ethane, gebürtig aus Großbritannien, direkt aus dem Herzen Wiens – verspielt, detailreich und voller bunter Klangfarben.
Das Set startet housig und warm, gleitet in verträumte Flächen und taucht tief in trippige Rominimal- als auch leichtfüßige Minimal-Grooves ein. Knarzig-trockene Percussion trifft auf bouncende Basslines, die subtil antreiben. Wohldosierte Vocals setzen Akzente – mal pointiert, mal sanft koloriert. Ein Mix zum Treibenlassen: zwischen ruhigen Momenten, energetischen Spannungsbögen und pulsierenden Höhepunkten – stets in Balance.

Danke für dieses musikalische Exponat in unserer MIKROMAL Akustikgalerie.

_____________________

With Mix No. 022, Philosofiesta, originally from Romania, and Ethane, born in the UK, report in straight from the heart of Vienna – playful, intricate, and full of vibrant sound colors.
The set begins warm and housey, glides into dreamy textures, and dives deep into trippy Rominimal as well as light-footed minimal grooves. Crackling, dry percussion meets bouncy basslines that subtly drive the flow. Carefully placed vocals add highlights – sometimes pointed, sometimes softly colored. A mix to drift away with: between calm moments, energetic arcs of tension, and pulsing climaxes – always in balance.

Thank you for this musical exhibit in our MIKROMAL acoustic gallery.

Pynewood @ Nektar Festival 2025

A forgotten classic from 1997, rediscovered by the new generation of house leaders.

Originally released in the late ’90s, Marius Acke’s Crucial Traxx EP series is one of those rare gems — deep, funky, soulful, and full of the raw, analog groove that defines the golden age of house. Missed by many at the time, the records are now enjoying a well-deserved revival, championed by today’s leading selectors like Dam Swindle, ANOTR, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Disclosure, Barry Can't Swim, Salute, Chloé Caillet, Known Artist, Sidney Charles, Shonky, Danny Howard and more.

Already a respected figure in the Antwerp scene back then, Marius Acke had co-produced numerous records for Mixz Productions and the iconic ARS label, including remixes for acts like Technotronic. His sound blended US-influenced house with early hip-hop sensibilities and deep, synth-laced textures, earning him a cult following among vinyl diggers and local DJs alike.

Happiness Therapy is proud to give new life to this essential piece of Belgian house history with a reissue of the Crucial Traxx EP series. All tracks have been carefully remastered and will be available on both vinyl and digital formats, including a special limited edition of 100 translucent red vinyl copies. HTCT01 marks the beginning of a reissue series dedicated to the lost gems of Marius Acke’s discography.

More than just a nostalgic reissue, this EP reminds us how visionary Acke’s sound truly was. Rooted in the 90s, but crafted with a timeless sense of balance and soul.

Essential then. Essential now. Marius Acke’s Crucial Traxx EP series proves that real house music never fades, it just waits for the right moment to shine again.
