A really beautiful party at a really beautiful club with really beautiful people - Precious Hall in Sapporo, Japan. Thank you Occa for this wonderful adventure in Hokkaido. My favourite club gig of 2022. Unforgettable to go deep and wide <3

Jane Fitz at Archiv, Precious Hall, Sapporo, July 2022

We are blessed to welcome our first artist to our new Podcast series. We say welcome dear XDB and thanks for contributing this beautiful vinyl only mix!

XDB is Kosta Athanassiadis – German by birth and in residence, with Greek parentage. His roots are in the central German town of Göttingen. It was here that he began DJing in the early nineties; where he worked in a record shop; where he ran a radio show for five years; and the base from which he established the Metrolux record label in 2006. 

For many people, it was at this point that XDB appeared on their radar.  He has no shortage of technical skill but it’s his selection that truly shines – putting the music itself at the forefront, letting songs breathe when need be, and delivering plenty of head-scratching ‘what the hell is this track?’ moments. It’s on this that Kosta has built his reputation. 

When it comes to producing, Kosta favours a slow and steady work rate, opting to focus on quality control rather than record shop ubiquity. His DJing keeps him in the public eye, but one gets the sense that XDB prefers to operate in the shadows. There’s a refreshing lack of gimmickry to his approach – keeping it low-key allows him to be judged solely on the basis of talent. Arguably, it’s an innate quality – the way he wants to play it; the way that brings him most satisfaction, but it’s helped establish his reputation as an artist of considerable merit, winning the approval his audience and peers, alike.

Philipp has been steadily building a reputation as a talented producer and live act steadily exploring the depths of deepest dub techno and hazy deep house. Over the past few years, his material and the @stolarrecords imprint have moved from strength to strength, gathering a steady following from many leading figures in the world of raw, emotional deep house and techno. The past few years have seen Philipp unveil a series of EP’s on Stólar plus more for @grad_u dub techno-focused @greyscale-music-lt imprint and most recently a well-received long player for Tim Eder & Fossar’s Hamburg-based Feuilleton.
