2025 - Colombia

Vlada (@playvlada) has been playing all over the globe since just 18 years of age. Russia-born but Berlin-based for many years now, her sound is defined by a long, winding mixing style and is built on hypnotic basslines that slowly but surely zone you out. 

That very much comes out in this week's mix which initially locks you into a signature meditative pace but then builds with smart gear shifts and technical mixes. There are acid flashes to liven things up, bright synths spiraling around electrifying techno, broken beats to keep things moving then more stark industrial and metallic textures that place you at the heart of a strobe-lit and floor. It is another masterful mix full of must-find tunes from this ever more essential selector.

Ivan Smagghe at Floresta - Waking Life '24

Wrapping up the year in style, we’re happy to share the 2nd pieces podcast: a recording of Ivan Smagghe at Houghton Festival last August. 
“Everything has been said about Houghton and yet, nothing gets close to what it actually is and means. Playing at Outburst has become something of a regular occurence and I get goosebumps every year. Recordings are not the actual moment but some have been asking for the memento so here it is. Huge thanks to Craig Richards and Bobby. for their continuum of love and support”
