Chicago – Italo – Synth
The mix originates from our annual “Uncanny Valley Betriebsweihnachtsfeier” in December last year but due to too much distortion, you re-recorded it afterwards. What did you have in mind for the original set and how did it evolve in the process afterwards?
The set was supposed to weave psychedelic leftfield tendencies, 80s extravaganza with classic Ron Hardy style and acid madness. In the DAW I pretty much reassembled the distorted recording …

Listen back to the So Get Up show hosted by Ed Isar from September 28th, 2020 on RinseFM. Ed is busy as a label manager for Musique Pour La Danse (with Oliver from Mental Groove), Remember430 and Tursiops, head of 33RPM +8% (webzine + Paris parties)
The 1st hour is Ed’s show – the 2nd hour is my guest mix of Bakalao tracked down directly from the Ruta Destroy.
My two cents:
This is Bakalao. An ode to cheap synths and digital drum machines. Sweet melodies go deep.
All vinyl! Besides the one track that I had to slow down by more than 8% and a demo by myself – exclusive & unreleased, of course. :]
I close with a millenium classic by FPU, which I was rediscovering during the lockdown solitude. It’s a cover of the 1987 Jan Hammer hymn ‘Crockett’s Theme’. So it fits the era the mix is referring to.
The label heads of She Lost Kontrol were inviting GOTT for their showcase on Berlin-based HÖR radio. Sneaker is representing the duo of Scannoir and him with a vinyl set of old school EBM and unexpected leftfield tunes.
Living room life! (quoting a dear friend)
Recorded for Mutant Radio in Mai 2020 at Mike Tansella Jr.‘s place.
Mixing vinyl only – stylistically ranging from Chicago house to a more loose ending. Only lately I got the Uncanny Valley002. So I am starting off the mix with C-Beams – Thumbling (Break SL + Sandrow M). Virgo vibes.
Close to the end I play an electro vocoder track from the test pressing of the upcoming Serial Error (Jacob Korn, Credit 00 & me) – Afro Gothic EP on Rat Life Records.
Thx to Mutant Radio & Mike Tansella Jr. for the opportunity!
24th Birdcast comes from one and only SneakerDJ [...].
The selection in this session is closely bound to his project with @Scannoir. They released two records named ½GOTT and GOTT plus remixes and edits. Together they are performing as a DJ tag team playing extended sessions of old school EBM. That’s the sound you can listen to here as well!
The session was recorded on the 26th of September 2019 at Yu-Yu in Mexico-City, Mexico during his 2nd PanAmerican tour.
Bordeaux based Jann presents a show on French Ola Radio. For the 10th edition he invites Ober Mannkind & my alter ego Dunkeltier to provide a mix and we countered with a fresh and uplifting mix of minimal synth and NDW.
Afficionado Jann is he introduced the show with during the 1st hour with a matching, but more eclectic mix of vintage songs.
Just before X-mas I was invited for Disco Cirkev at Ankali, arguably the best club in the Czech republic.
Here is the 2:20h recording from this FB-event:
Disco Církev w/ Sneaker, Discobolos, DJ Sen, Sobert Rhythm
I tried to play as much obscure and Canadian electronic Disco as possible. So – on purpose – not exactly the cliché Italo disco. Disco Církev had a very welcoming, open, party-hard, gentle crowd like nowhere else! Thanks to everybody who expressed their appreciation in words after my set. Top-notch sound and monitoring at Ankali. I am still happy for the opportunity. I played mostly from vinyl and edited the recording for the best possible listening pleasure.
Beyond The Body is the new radio show by DJ Nephil & Mike Tansella Jr.
