Chicago – Italo – Synth
I couldn’t find it myself on yt, but got the link from Mutant Radio.
So whoever missed our show – here we go again!
Mike Tansella Jr., me + Chris Mitchell in Tiblisi with 3 very different sets, yet in the same musical orbit and mindset.
My hour in the middle is focussed on synth pop … more than ever!!! So it’s very melodic, gloomy, in parts aggressive and towards the end almost divine (demos by Scannoir & me).
A relict of the past – a night at Kassablanca Jena in the year 2007. Presenting even more reminiscent house records at a time when the sound was nowhere else to be heard in Thuringia.
Sometimes you are just lucky to record a perfect session. A timeless selection that aged very well. Even the “hits” don’t bother me after listening to it countless times.
Thanks to Da Niel from AROMA + for the request and occasion to present this archival recording!

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!
