Radio Raibano #023
with @beartrax-1

For nearly three decades, Beartrax has been exploring a wide range of instruments and styles since first picking up the violin. His musical journey has consisted of playing in orchestras, jazz ensembles, and a metal band before he discovered electronic music in late 2011, after which he dove head-on into the world of production and DJing.

Beartrax’s productions and performances are deeply rooted in organic, musical elements, seamlessly blending violins and synths to reflect his rich musical background and passion for melodies. His influences span heavy metal, punk, new wave, and classical music.

Over the years, his productions have climbed several charts and gained support from renowned DJs. In pursuit of his artistic vision, he launched his own imprint, Melodize, as a platform to showcase his unique approach to house, disco, and techno. Beyond his own work, Melodize has featured tracks and remixes from artists such as Lauer, Marvin & Guy, Massimiliano Pagliara, Undo, and Aural Trace, receiving support from names like Skatebård, I-F, Jennifer Cardini, and Alexander Robotnick, among others.

New Release Incoming on Riotvan! And it’s someone we already hold close to our hearts. After making serious noise on our last compilation, we’re beyond stoked to finally present a full EP by none other than @muftimx

This time, the Mexican producer dives into darker, more house-infused territory, an unexpected turn that hits just right. Think late-night haze meets early morning bliss: a heady mix of acid, house, dark wave, and a whisper of romantic melancholy, all wrapped in a sound that feels unmistakably now. We’ve been hooked from first listen, and trust us, you will be too. Mufti is in the house.

To top it off: Gallegos leaves his unmistakable signature on the record with a remix of “Lovers Everywhere”. What a remix. Seriously!

Mufti - Lovers Everywhere (Gallegos Remix)

Kenya presents her new debut EP for Talking Machine after joining the label crew in 2024, titled Fractal Vision. The EP consists of 3 tracks, accompanied by 2 remixes by Anatolian Weapons and Arvin Fajar. The EP itself narrates about a journey through emotion and experience, capturing the essence of growth, introspection, and transformation, one that creates a dynamic landscape. From every track, it is something that developed naturally through the textures and layers of the sound it self, create something that feels like telling a story through sound.

Track 2 is titled Turbulence, a mid tempo track that gives a sense of hypnotizing along the track, with modulated bassline, atmospheric pads with long decay and subtle granular processing, sporadic high-resonance synth fills for dynamic contrast, and dissonant high-register minor stabs for tonal tension, complemented by organic flow, and stabilized by a classic kick drum for foundational weight.

Kenya - Turbulence [Talking Machine]

The interesting Italian imprint Nubians of Plutonia proudly unveils "Proton Waves," a vibrant and cohesive VA that beautifully encapsulates the label's foundational sound. This eleven-track collection serves as a compelling survey of the current Indie Dance/Nu Disco landscape, bringing together a diverse and talented roster. On board: Astore, CSK (SXDNS088), Lucas Novaes, O.P.S., Samuele De Santis, Neurotiker, TDWS, and Pleasure Seeker, the label's own guiding force, just to name a few. Together, they form a collective of modern architects, each contributing a unique piece to a brilliantly cohesive puzzle, showcasing the creative ferment currently animating the scene and setting a compelling stage for the depths that follow.

Among these contributors, Rio de Janeiro-based Neurotiker stands as a particularly notable presence, an artist whose reputation for crafting vital dance-floor material is well-earned through a series of distinguished and well-received appearances on imprints such as Emerald & Doreen, Ritmo Fatale, Club Mackan, Dogmatraxxx, and Dischi Autunno. His contribution, the masterfully titled “Tottori Sakyu,” is a peak-time tour de force. The name, referencing Japan's vast coastal sand dunes, provides a perfect conceptual anchor for the track's expansive and shifting architecture. It constructs a mesmerising soundscape from deep, undulating synth layers that ripple with atmospheric pressure, while frenzied arpeggios spiral upwards through the mix. A discreet but driving percussive framework and enigmatic, speech-like vocals weave throughout the arrangement, creating a driving, textured journey designed to command the heart of the night with its relentless and hypnotic energy.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://nubiansofplutoniarecords.bandcamp.com/

Keep off the Traxx are speeding down the third rail of UK dance heritage – a love letter to the gritty, groove-heavy house of the 90s.  

Helmed by Baker Lou and Jubi Leigh, the label draws on early progressive house, raw-edged UK garage, and the music that once echoed through London’s underground.

Rough-n-ready and proudly off the rails, the imprint delivers analogue charm and a steady nod to the past, without getting stuck in it. Visually, the label rides the line of London’s iconic Underground – with design and attitude pulled straight from the platform.

Keep off the Traxx are travelling at 33rpm and running on time. Mind the gap – the conductors don’t plan on stopping.


KOT001 - Cue It. Mix It. Blended Vol.1

Opening the debut EP is ‘Slow Down’, a high-energy A1 packed with euphoric synths, catchy vocals, and an acid line that pays homage to the golden era of early progressive house. Next up, ‘Mind the Gap’ delivers an irresistible fusion of raw, gritty house and classic UK garage, complete with chopped vocals and synth hooks that stick in your head long after its over.

‘Brain Dance’ brings a bouncy groove and a fresh return to acid, weaving melodic progressions that keep the energy flowing. Closing out the record is ‘That Noise’, a contemporary psychedelic progressive journey, layered with lush strings and immersive textures.
