Happy to welcome to the second episode of the show a talented dj and producer and also label friend , Reznik.


BIO:

It was pretty much at the end of the last century when Reznik dragged his record boxes into a night club for the first time. He was living in Leipzig at the time. Leipzig was and is a city with a vibrant and elaborate underground scene for electronic music. Big impact on this guys mindset!
It was in 2009, a couple years after relocating to Berlin, when he teamed up with Adam Port, &ME, Rampa, Monja Gentschow and former member David Mayer and the whole Keinemusik story unfolded. At some point, he took care of the KM labelmanagement for a couple of years.
In 2019 he started a collaborative project with his old companion Good Guy Mikesh with key releases on Keinemusik, Permanent Vacation, Razor-N-Tape or 2MR. He strives for DJ sets that draw on groove and on soul (not necessarily the musical genre, but the spiritual entity) and go wherever they need to go. Be it the route of (Indie)Disco and Synthwave or the New York- and Chicago-informed contemporary House course. Main thing here is that it moves you.

Boys' Shorts are a Greek dj/production duo, consisting of Vangelis (formerly of LAGASTA) and electronic recording artist Tareq.

They’ve also delivered remixes for Alison Goldfrapp, Yuksek w/ Polo & Pan, Kasper Bjorke, Boy George, Local Suicide w/ Lena Platonos, Daddy Squad w/ Zoot Woman, Casey Spooner (Fischerspooner), Mala Ika, and Kito Jempere ft. Wolfram, to name a few.

The last couple of years has seen them tour around Europe, playing in world renowned venues such Berghain/Panorama bar and London’s E1, while also bringing their unique sound to festivals like"Lost Village" and WECANDANCE. Building on their success the boys have also enjoyed playing at New York’s Le Bain, Good Room, and House of YES, as well as opening for Hot Chip’s concert at the Knockdown Center.

He started 2021 making his debut on Toto Chiavetta’s label, “Borders of Flight”, participating in his annual VA with a collaboration alongside Sobek titled “Tatras” released exclusively on vinyl via Muting The Noise.

That same year he also collaborated with Sobek on the release of his EP called “Fragmentado” on the Scatcity label, which includes a remix by Skatman that was released digitally and on vinyl. In 2022 he released an EP with Dominik Marz called “Erate” which will be released on Âme’s label, Exit Strategy.

By the end of 2023, 2 releases are expected, the first a song on Innervisions’ Secret Weapons and an EP on the Canadian label Microcastle. His versatility, approach and vision on what is the new Mexican sound is a clear example of the new wave of producers in that country that has a high caliber and the potential to become one of the most outstanding artists of his generation.

Seventh episode by Kino Todo 

@kino_todo


Yair Raviv, also known as Kino Todo, refuses to follow trends. Instead, the DJ and producer takes inspiration from the unusual, the eclectic and the sonic soundscapes that most artists don’t think to explore. Clearly, his curiosity is contagious. His first ever single “Gidafi Na” has over 10 million streams across all major streaming platforms and catapulted Kino Todo to the forefront of the global electronic music scene. “Gidafi Na” came into being one day while Kino Todo and his friend Tesfit Asgodom were messing around in the studio. Asgodom sang a few lines in his native Tigrinya language and Kino ran with it, creating a kaleidoscopic track as unique as it is unforgettable.

But the artist was neck-deep in music long before he released his first track. He grew up in a small village not far from Tel Aviv and was banging out rhythms on tables and chairs before he could talk. His parents nurtured his talent by buying him a piano, a drum kit and music lessons. Kino says he always felt at home with music and taught himself how to DJ as a teen. When he was 19, he moved to Tel Aviv and started playing local bars and clubs, championing a cross-cultural sound based on rhythm, bass and groove. By 2014 he’d made a name for himself as a DJ and was working on his own productions behind the scenes.

It was only when he played at Tel-Aviv underground bar “Istanbul” that he felt ready to share his own music. He played the club owner a track and was immediately instructed to send it to Red Axes. They instantly recognized “Gidafi Na” as something special, as did Tel-Aviv label ״Blue Shadow״, who released the single as part of his debut EP in 2019. Three years later and Kino Todo’s one of the most recognizable names in indie/dance/electronica, with EPs and singles on Disco Halal, DGTL, City Slang, Life and Death, Multi Culti and more. He’s performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals including DGTL, The Block, Circoloco, Black Coffee, Tel Aviv Pride, ADE and many more. Polo and Pan, Solomon, Diplo, Tiësto, Âme, BLOND:ISH, Gorgon City, Monolink and Todd Terje play Kino’s tracks during their sets, and the artist recently founded his new label “Pop Tomorrow” with fellow producers Marko East and Danelz.

Creatively speaking, Kino Todo refuses to sit still. He’s constantly pushing new sonic territory and exploring new soundscapes, sampling vocals in foreign languages like Portuguese and Japanese and using elements of UK and US trap, drill and grime. “I’ve always been drawn to new languages and sounds,” he says. “I want to make melodies I’ve never heard before.”

All this and more will be showcased in his highly anticipated debut album Chances, due for release in 2023. For this album Kino Todo teamed up with producers, vocalists and rappers from around the world to bring his international vision to life. The album was mixed and mastered by Roi Avital (Garden City Movement), Dori Sadovnik (Red Axes), and with projects lined up with Polo & Pan, D Fine Us, Noga Erez and more, unstoppable doesn’t quite cut it. Kino Todo’s a force of nature.

New episode available now with Kate Stein and Concret >



CONCRET is the music project or Diego Angelico Escobar, Italo-Mexican artist and DJ based between Mexico City and New York. His music has been released on various labels including Correspondant, Motordiscs, Toy Tonics as well as on his own label Tráfico Music.  His name has become synonymous with the rising underground Latin American music scene, his artistic career has been crossing the barriers between music, sound design and perforative art installations.

Kate Stein is an Australian producer, DJ and visual artist based in NYC.  Her soundscapes span across minimal, chubby acid house, psychedelic guitar riffs and offbeat glitch.  Paving her own underground path, Kate describes her style as late-night chill rave, while meticulously crafting spaces with an eye for the elegant and the mischievous.  She has released on labels including TAU, Spinning Top and Roam.  

Good friends who both share a background in spatial design, Kate and Diego have found an electric flow-state in their new b2b project, both unafraid of taking risks and drawing deep appreciation from post punk, minimal wave and house music.  Expect a lot more from these two to come, including a vinyl release in early 2025…

@eveava

Eveava's sound embodies her adventurous spirit. Her fresh approach to crafting her sets involves unearthing songs from older eras and artfully blending them with more contemporary or futuristic sounds. Whether it's dropping a bolero from the 30’s before an Aphex Twin track and then following it up with an amapiano gem, or a rare Bowie acapella sample, eveava's eclectic selection is an open relationship between the past and future, the groovy and edgy, the organic and the machinelike.

eveava's versatility has earned her performances alongside a diverse range of artists, including DJ Tennis, Whitesquare, Perel, Axel Boman, Floating Points, Nicola Cruz, and Pantha du Prince. Both in the studio and on the stage, eveava consistently pushes boundaries with a sound that is deeply personal and highly danceable. Her unique style strikes the perfect balance between introspection and celebration, connecting with listeners on both intellectual and visceral levels.

eveava was born in Medellin, Colombia and is currently based in Berlin. Her debut EP - 'The Sun & Her Flowers' will be released in May next year via YES YES YES, LP Giobbi's new imprint under Defected Records.
