"One lone survivor

Of fanatical and overcooked love

Emotion it is brighter

Since you entered as the jewel in a treasure trove

When we do we start talking again

When shall we arm, when do we

When do we stop the fire and brimstone

Let them in

When are the kids no longer kids

When do we give our love to this

When do we glue the here and now back together from the bits

One lone survivor, out of sight n making rustles in the rush

...that turns to fear when you fight"

'Artwork by Alena Rakova'

Who is 3LIAS?

Hailing from the mountains overlooking the Eastern Mediterranean, 3LIAS slowly followed a deep, dark groove all the way down to the coast. More specifically the old city quarantine of Beirut. There he was swallowed up by the iconic B 018's retractable rooftop and became its resident decknician in 2006 after helping create Lebanon's underground scene through the lates 90s and early 2000s.

Today, almost a decade into his residency at B 018, 3LIAS has transformed it into a subterranean factory of silky jazzy funky synths drenched in melancholic , rolling grooves and deep, dark-driven beats that entrance the mind and move the feet till the early hours of the morning.

3LIAS collaborates regularly with talents from around the world, as well as unprecedented endeavors with fellow Lebanese musicians of all sorts and genres. Together, 3LIAS has the perfect combination helping redefine the art of making Beirut's human beings (and more and more people from around the world), dance well into the night.

On the 36th edition of our blogcast we proudly present the beautiful Indira Paganotto.

This young talent has been under our radar for a while and we got the chance to host her on her birthday. We discovered this talented gem when she released her sensational 'Time Out Man' EP on Pooled Music. A timeless EP that featured a remix by the master himself, Ian Pooley. On this 36th edition, you are in for a housey trip. This mix will take you back to the roots of deep house music.

Enjoy this one and happy birthday Indria Paganotto.

P.S.: Track-list will be added one week after release.

Who is Indira Paganotto?

Indira Paganotto was born in 1992 and is currently one of Spain's youngest promises. 20-year-old Indira has had a most eclectic musical upbringing. Her father, a DJ in the 80's, was her educator and his collection of soul, disco, jazz and house music was the perfect library for the girl from Madrid. Her sets are full of elegance and effusive danceability , with a quality selection that brings us from 90´s disco to the most current underground techno music. Wherever or whenever, her style is energetic, regardless of whether it is hard or soft. This energetic eclecticism has become her signature trait, together with a constant smile!

This young girl played with very important artists like Marco Carola , Paco Osuna, Anthea, Luna City, Seuil, Arado, Ian Pooley, Borderline, Bloody Mary, Art Department, Nina Kravitz... in the most selective clubs in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Bilbao, Alicante, Cadiz, Madrid, Barcelona and London.

Whilst her early experience may ring true for many (she bought her first decks following her initial club moment , from there her talent took her story on a fast-track. After only a few weeks, Indira had played her first set at "Moon" in Las Palmas and within two weeks she was their new resident. It was here that Pooled's first female signing met Pooley. Having wowed him with her warm-up, she presented him with some demo productions and, they created "Underground Love", an amazing EP with collaborations by Jef K, Gwen Maze and Sergio Wos.

On the 34th edition of our blogcast we proudly present the massive Oliver Deutschmann with an unusual mix.

There is always a side B of each artist/dj, and today we highlight this side of the Deutschmann. The techno meister goes back to his roots with this mix and exposes his musical background in a very transparent manner. His passion for electronic music does not defy the fact that he still shares the same passion with the golden age. Featuring music from artists like Dolly Parton, The Animals, Ramones, Deep Purple, Bee Gees, etc... this mix has been definitely recorded with love.

With Oliver Deutschmann we take podcasts to a whole different level, beyond electronic music, and we prove that oldies are the still the goldies. Yes, this is pretty unusual, but unusual is what we seek.

Enjoy this one (:

Who is Oliver Deutschmann?

Berlin's Oliver Deutschmann has gained a reputation over the last 15 years through his pure passion, diverse track selection and an unambiguous mixing ability. Years before he released his first EPs he had already set himself on a path that would see him DJ all over the world, eventually leading to his adopted home of Berghain where he has lit up both rooms of the club dozens of times since first playing there almost ten years ago. Deutschmann displays a distinct unwillingness to be pigeonholed in any one style, and is right at home whether he's warming things up with an understated house groove or thrashing the big rooms with his grandiose brand of techno.

While honing his abilities at the controls, he also began testing the waters of production and label ownership, and has since created four labels: Vidab, Falkplatz, Slim Audio and the vinyl only imprint GKNSTR. Releases on Soma, Aim, Caduceus, Etruria Beat, Mobilee, and his own imprints culminated in his 2013 debut album, 'Out of the Dark,' that Resident Advisor described to be "as potent as any techno album released in the last few years." As an impassioned DJ, producer, and label owner, Deutschmann has ensured that his position in the forefront was never a fleeting one, and with numerous EP's and a second album on the way, it looks like things will stay that way.
