Welcome to “labels”, an exclusive laminim concept dedicated to showcasing the essence of electronic music through collaborations with some of the most forward-thinking labels in the scene. This podcast series goes beyond the mix, it’s a deep dive into recorded performances from the labels shaping underground music today. Each episode is recorded live at their showcases, special events, or intimate sessions, bringing you closer to the raw energy and creative vision behind their music.

For this second episode, we are excited to present an exclusive performance by Mhrrmv (Zamin Makharramov), one of the visionary founder and driving force behind Buta Records, the very first vinyl and digital label to emerge from Azerbaijan.

Founded in 2022 and based in Baku, Buta Records has quickly established itself as a forward-thinking label, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of underground electronic music. With a refined focus on Micro-House, and Breaks, the label serves as a unique bridge connecting Eastern influences with the modern minimal scene, constantly exploring new audio territories.

Mhrrmv, originally from Georgia and now based in Baku, has been an active and passionate contributor to the music scene since 1998. Beyond being the label owner, he is a highly respected DJ, producer, and radio curator. His first release appeared on vinyl under the label Intelligent Sound, and over the years, his artistic journey has evolved through countless collaborations and productions that highlight his dedication to electronic music’s minimal scene. 

In this exclusive podcast, Mhrrmv delivers a carefully curated session that reflects both his personal artistry and the musical vision of Buta Records, a label already making waves far beyond the borders of Azerbaijan.

Some artists make noise. Others listen first - then carve out their own frequency in the quiet spaces between a kick drum and a sunrise. Baldov, real name Théo Bertat, has spent the last decade threading himself through the undercurrents of Europe’s vinyl culture. As a co-founder of Undergroove Records, half of the duo Wave Catchers, and a familiar presence behind the booth and in the bins, the Paris-based DJ and producer carries an energy that’s patient but insistent — always pushing for connection over spectacle.

Whether he’s shaping warm minimal grooves for labels like LEGRAM VG & Rubber Ducky or sketching new sound maps alongside Heimyl the Lazer Man, Baldov’s mission is clear: keep it intimate, keep it human, and above all, keep it honest. He’s the kind of selector who still believes a DJ is there to serve the moment, not steal it - a mindset that naturally flows into his new partnership with Headliner, where design, sound and respect for the craft matter as much as the party itself.

In this conversation, he opens up about the story behind the Baldov name, how a broken arm and a bike crash gave birth to new music, why the art of the long set is sacred, what his dream DJ mixer might look like, and what a perfect night could be when you strip it all back to what really counts: records, connection, and the magic that happens when the needle drops - and nobody wants to leave.

Robot Says E is a meticulously assembled four-track compilation that connects the tactile groove of dub tech house with the lucid propulsion of contemporary techno. The release is divided over two contrasting but complementary sides, presenting an impressive palette for those who move purposefully and listen intently. Side A kicks off in an immersive warm atmosphere; A1. Tvardovsky – Eleven and A2. Spectral Model – Plasma both deliver deep low-end foundations, atmospheric dub textures, and clean dancefloor-ready production quality. The sound is fluid, minimalist, and very physical; perfectly complimentary to subtle intensity and groove-based hypnosis.

On the flip, the energy shifts. B1. Rene Lorenzo – Reflections and B2. Kirill Matveev – Code Redeemed push off in much faster, gliding, terrain – where flow and high-speed rhythms embrace their high velocity, and deep repetition creates a trance-like state. This is techno that feels both expressive and “summer-in-the-city” active and is meant to enhance your sensory plates and keep you energized. Easily executed, future forward designed and mood-blissfully transformative, WRSE1 VA –What Robot Says E is not just a VA, it's a sonically-derived blueprint for refined dance music going forward.

Chris Llopis has been a driving force in electronic music since the late '90s, with a rich catalog of releases on respected labels like Fabric Records, Tooloop, and Micronica. While he initially explored both minimal and techno, his focus has evolved towards a refined minimal house sound that defines his current style.

Chris's passion for electronic music ignited at age 13 after a trip to Spain, inspiring him to purchase his first set of Technics SL1210 turntables. He began performing in youth clubs and venues around his hometown in Sweden, and at 20, he relocated to Copenhagen, immersing himself in the city's techno rave and club scene.

In 1998, Chris released his first vinyl on the German label Tatsu, which gained traction in the minimal trance community and marked the beginning of his global reach. Following this early success, he toured internationally and released music on various influential labels.

After a break in his career, Chris is now back, actively releasing new music on labels such as Tooloop, Bodyparts, Juuz, Micronica, and Purpleprint Music. Known for his collaborative spirit, he has worked with numerous artists and continues to captivate dance floors with his dynamic blend of tech and minimal house. Chris's sets are crafted to keep the crowd moving, showcasing his deep connection to the dance scene and his ever-evolving sound.
