Fresh from releasing some of the hottest music of the last few weeks, the double chapter Twin Peaks EP on our own Metroline Limited and the Horacio EP on Raum Music with fellow neapolitan artist, Massi DL, Rio Padice delivers an equally stunning mix for the 6th installment of our podcast series.

Spanning across 21 traclks, the mix features many of Rio's own productions, unreleased tracks from promos and demos that the artist got given by fellow friends and uo and coming producers and a few old house and techno classic jems that Rio dug out from his collection especially for this mix.

Versatile artist, he is mainly a designer. Dario di Pace was born in Naples in 1983. He has attended several art schools and he is about to complete his degree in stage-design. Always interested in arts, he decided to get into music in 2006, when he bought on-purpose software and created an art studio in his apartment where he also shows some of his works like sceneries and comics in indian ink. His tracks were mainly conceived for live performances, but later his contacts with some net labels brought in ideas for new projects. He started with an initial sound deep- tech, later enriched by funky and minimal influences. His debut as composer was in January 2007 on a new net label from Milan, ExM records, with his very first work Japanese Airone. During that year he has collaborated also with Minisketch and Uvdog releasing digital tracks. In December 2008 he published his first vinyl Ep on Mosaiko Musik called CLB, played by Jeff Samuel and Anderson Noise who putted it in a released mix for the compilation by La Terraza Bcn (Circle Music). His second vinyl was for him the turning point. The Gosh! Ep released on June 2008 has been putted in most important tracklist played around the world as Richie Hawtin’s. During the summer time he took a period in wich he started to study other subgenres of electronic music as dub, housy, deep and jazzy thinking about his next projects as FU8 Ensamble and Ragga Fonda. As this new nick he published on Mosaiko Limited in September 2008 a new 12” called “Memories” Ep featuring a brazilian vocalist Luisa De Abreu. At the present he is working for Mutekki Media, Metroline Ltd, Welt Sounds and Kina Music.

The fifth episode of Metroline Limited Podcast features german techno star Mike Wall. Mike has so far been one of the key artists on Metroline Limited contributing with two releases to the label's catalogue: MLTD007, Loose Changes EP and MLTD014, Vacuum Packed EP.

For the first time in the series Metroline Limited Podcast 05 is not a dj mix but a LIVE set featuring only tracks produced by Mike Wall himself. The hour long LIVE set showcases the Berlin based artist trademark sound in all its shapes and forms. The vibe is dark and minimal and sometimes hypnothic, the pace shifts fast between dark and mental sections and groovy techno numbers with a very clever use of very cool vocal samples.

Mike Wall is based in Berlin. Besides Metroline he has released on labels such as Safari Electronique, Dliek & his own Orphik Recordings amongst others. His productions sound like the perfect connection between minimal techno and groovy beats. Creating his own style of Techno is the reason he’s doing fantastic livesets as well including all the different sound structures, glitches, bleeps and basses he’s interested in and let him feel balanced. As owner of the label "Orphik Recordings" he’s responsable for finding new talents and doing great party nights in Berlin. Playing rare records, pushing no name labels and artists and having the best fun out of it is his credo.

Metroline Podcast Series welcomes Jorge Savoretti, the first of many guest djs to be featured on the series. From Rosario, Argentina, Jorge had one appearance on Metroline Limited catalogue with his stunning remix of Suokas track Shivers released on MLTD008 in June 2008.

Jorge Savoretti biog:

The close bond between Jorge Savoretti and electronic music started in 1993 when he discovered music from underground rave events. From that moment, he became a relentless music collector, accumulating diverse material ranging in genres from house to synth-pop. In 1996, he made his first attempt behind the turntables as a bedroom dj. Only 15 years old at this time, he began to explore the techno sounds in his hometown, Rosario, Argentina, and was influenced by Argentine favorites Franco Cinelli and Dee Jason.

After he started playing in nightclubs in 1999, Jorge took part of countless events both underground and massive. His most accomplished residency was at El Sotano, one of the historical and premier influential clubs of the Argentine underground. He shared the privilege with Nicolas Purman, Franco Cinelli and Lucas Mari. They worked together for three seasons, and developed an exquisite combination of techno and house music, emphasizing on the minimal aspects of the genres and combining it with the spirited electronic sounds of Chicago and Detroit.

Jorge with his hard work, dedication, and love for music aides his consistent growth as a DJ, and now he is gaining momentum as a producer as well. His successful debut release in 2005, Frozen, came out on the Argentine net label Igloo, and led him to his first vinyl EP on Esperanza. Afterwards, he also released on labels like Mupa, Dumb Unit (in which he releases his project along with Seph called Geoph Serge), Telegraph or recently M-nus. Consequently, his first European tours started immediately. Nowadays Jorge already played in a lot of the most prestigious clubs around the globe and is already establishing his name as a trademark of quality.
