Born to chill, forced to DJ – Mija is a multidisciplinary Berlin-based DJ and producer, joining us for Tapes #140.

Her career has been marked by versatility and experimentation, consistently pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Her latest works, including "Summer Groove" and “Soft Groove" EP showcase her playful yet sophisticated take on the hardgroove sub-genre, merging elements of house, techno, and funk. 

DINA, the Berlin-based producer, DJ and co-founder of Nachtcrew – a collective fusing psychedelic music, art and 3D mapping, is up next for Tapes #135.

Taking over tapes #132 is Berlin-based radio host, DJ and producer, MLE. Navigating sonically between a multitude of club ready sounds, MLE can be described as a deep digging selector known to take dancers on a journey between between genres on the dance floor.

Bringing in Tapes #124 is Riva, the Berlin and London-based DJ, producer, promoter, and resident DJ at Fold, Refuge Radio and Manni Dee’s newest party “Silk + Steel”.

Joining us for Tapes #122 is Minor Science, the Berlin-based Brit who consistently cuts through the noise and has been making standout tracks for almost a decade.

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.

Taking over Tapes #101 is Kincaid, the moniker of Joe Arthur, an artist based between London and Berlin, who focuses his production and DJing style on the overlapping fringes of multiple genres. From groove laden percussion to sound design infused textural detail, Arthur’s sounds and sets are not to be missed.

London-born now Berlin-based, Amy Dabbs is the daughter of an original Northern Soul DJ and is here to take over Tapes #69. 2022 is fast-becoming a breakthrough year for the multi-genre artist. This year alone Amy Dabbs has dropped releases on Lobster Theremin, launched her own label ‘Dabbs Traxx’ with a huge house EP and collaborated with fellow junglist Coco Bryce on a new project 'Slightly Involved'.

Guava, aka Bradley Hutchings joins us for #52 on our Tapes series. Guava is a British, Berlin-based producer whose discography includes releases on labels such as Holding Hands, Control Freak, and Rhythm Section.

His latest EP, released last month on Tread Records, represents a musical bridge between his electronic output as Guava, and his other work as a session guitarist and composer of film and TV scores. While most certainly a record for the dance floor, Guitarist EP is another example of Guava’s ability to push boundaries and combine elements of different music to great effect.

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.

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.

Swiss Producer and DJ Ground16 is up next for #25 of our Tapes series. With releases on labels such as Juicy Traxxx, Gestalt Records and Neo Violence and DJ sets at Paloma Bar and HÖR Berlin, the DJ/Producer is fine-tuning his sound, finding inspiration in a wide range of musical genres such as techno, Detroit house, disco and jazz, as well as funk, lo-fi, hip hop, and electro. 

Before relocating to Vancouver, Overland sharpened her skills in the snowy expanses of Alberta, Canada. A tireless DJ and promoter, she’s hosted a score of all-nighters and club events across the city, making her mark as an enthusiastic booster of a vibrant scene.
