Up next for Tapes #116 is Xi’an-born and Toronto-based music producer, DJ, pianist, and radio presenter, Ciel.

Joining us for Tapes #115 is ERIS, a Berlin-based duo formed by Enrica Falqui and Dea. It was quite an interesting start to ERIS. Two souls from different musical histories met on a simple night out. They instantly connected and their taste and passion spiralled into production and mixing sessions. Their debut EP was released on CABARET Recordings and with that Moments EP was created.

Taking over Tapes #114 is Berlin-based and Naarm/Melbourne native, Merve. Widely regarded by industry tastemakers, curators, and punters alike as a trailblazer within the underground community.

Joining us for Tapes #113 is Inter­stel­lar Funk. He’s known for his love of transcend­ing sounds, scenes, gen­res and gen­er­a­tions, which comes from work­ing at the famous­ly influ­en­tial Rush Hour record store, as well as travel­ing the world and pick­ing up his own glob­al influ­ences.

Joining us for Tapes #108 is Belgian DJ and producer Innershades. Influenced by electronic body music, acid house, rude electro and nineties trance, Innershades’ raw yet wistful productions sound like what could be the OST to the golden age of Belgian club life.

DJ Winggold, artist, writer, radio host, speaker and mental health advocat is joining us to take over Tapes #107.

He’s also one of the key minds behind Unbound Events, a London-based events platform using underground music as a vehicle to elevate minorities and raise awareness of social issues. He draws inspiration from Afrofuturism to guide his creative pursuits, focusing on the intersection between race, identity, history and culture.  

Up next for Tapes #104 is Amelia Holt, best known for her shapeshifting sets and weaving through genres and tempos to create a narrative flow uniquely her own. She currently holds down a residency at Public Records and at The Lot Radio – and runs an eponymous monthly music newsletter, In Your Dirty Ears, highlighting her favourite new electronic releases and more, with Yumi and S. Casella.

de Silva is a London based DJ with over 10 years of collecting records under his belt and he’s taking over Tapes #103. He is the co-founder of CULT Records, a new label and digging platform relaunched from the ashes of his successful Manchester party who welcomed the likes of Objekt, Josey Rebelle, DJ Python, Shanti Celeste and many more over the years. 

Joining us for Tapes #102 is Kassian. Since launching in 2019, Kassian have released records on Heist, Phonica Records and Shall Not Fade, evolving their sound from groove laden House towards more leftfield threads of Techno and UK Bass.

Alex Neri has been making an influential contribution to modern electronic dance music since the early 1990’s and we’re so excited to have him join us for Tapes #100!

Up next for Tapes #99 is moktar, a DJ and producer effortlessly combining club and techno with traditional Arabic instrumentation, sampling and production. A hybrid style, moktar’s music is new to the clubs of Australia and is itching to make its way across dancefloors.

Lily Haz, the founder of the label Tofistock and resident at Teder.FM, is taking over Tapes #96. Lily’s productions do not fall under exact genre definitions. Inspired by dub, hip hop and contemporary leftfield dance music, Lily has a unique approach to production, characterised by distorted vocals, trap style drums and warm pads.

Joining us for Tapes #95 is Anunaku, the pseudonym of Italian electronic musician and producer TSVI. Anunaku's music is characterised by its fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds, drawing influences from various genres such as techno, bass music, and musical styles from different parts of the world. 

Former military man and marching band member James Bangura is next up for #51 on our Tapes series. He’s an artist who has roamed the world and picked up musical influences at every stop on the way. Be it D&B in Alabama, blog house in California, or the rich house sound of New York, this Washington DC native is now distilling all those references into his own searing sounds. They have come on labels like Mister Saturday Night and can range from sauced out to brutally energetic. And the latter of those two is what defines his unrelenting mix for us. It is a hard-hitting collision of raw, decaying textures, pummeling drums, and stark, post-industrial atmospheres that are thrillingly harsh. The rhythms roam from the fringes of techno to the heart of jungle and on to icy but powerful minimalism that very much consumes your body. So strap in, cause this is one helluva ride.

Ronan, who joins us for the big #50 on our Tapes series, is the moniker of sound sculptor and disc spinner Robin Lohrey. A lifelong lover of rhythm and the capacity of sound to facilitate extended states of consciousness, he cut his teeth helping organise the legendary Groovy Groovy rave series in NYC from 2015-17. He has released music on his own label Eternal Ocean, as well as Planet Euphorique, and OnLoop. Enjoy!

Here to takeover Tapes #49 is London based DJ & Producer Bakongo. When it comes to London sound it’s hard to overlook what ground Wayne Goodlitt has covered under his first alias Roska. He’s been at the forefront of UK underground music, merging genres and pushing UK Funky for just over a decade. Roska uses many styles and influences, including his Jamaican heritage as well as South African house. In 2019, Wayne decided to change his style and focus more on his second alias, Bakongo. Adding elements of broken techno, tribal house, and keeping the genre-blending elements we’re used to hearing. This led to his EP release on Livity Sound and he’s currently working on a live show where we will see more great things from Bakongo!

Stepping up for Tapes #48 is Edinburgh-based J Wax. He started releasing music in 2019 but in this short space of time the young DJ & producer has had two highly respectable releases, with a third out very soon.

Up next on our Tapes series #47 is Jurango. The Bristol-based, DJ and producer has released on Livity Sound, Pressure Dome, [re]sources, and Intervention. Along with a residency at Bristol-based party PTS, and a regular monthly show on Noods Radio called Staring At The Wall. Enjoy this face-paced mix!

Tapes #46 comes from Talik, a London-based producer and DJ quickly gaining prominence for her intricate, impassioned productions and equally expressive mixes. Treading the febrile ground between IDM, broken techno, and post-dubstep, her Tapes mix reflects a carefully considered approach to narrative construction and an astute ear for conjuring space through rhythm.

Hitting up Tapes #45, with a timeless house, techno, rave and acid-tinged 90's heavy mix, is London and Ibiza-based DJ and Producer Ceri. Her rising reputation as a selector has seen her play all around the world, playing alongside the likes of everyone from Ryan Elliot and Objekt, to Mr. G, Jeremy Underground and Paranoid London. Her diverse DJ style has seen her grace the decks at Corsica Studios, Fabric, Oval Space, Percolate, XOYO, Lion & Lamb and Pickle Factory in London, Back To Basics in Leeds, Hidden in Manchester, Bristol In:Motion, Gottwood festival and much more.
