Sure Thing Podcast

Our latest podcast welcomes Felix Fleer, a producer and DJ from Bielefeld, Germany who heads up the Raw Imprint label, event, and radio show. His mix is patiently methodical and carefully plotted, sampling highlights of modern techno and manipulating tension and release over its one hour course, revealing an artist in confident command of his genre.

Smart-bomb alert! 93 minutes of rapid, rough-skinned rhythms, ripped apart at the seams and reassembled with expert deftness by New York's Akanbi. We've been kindred spirits of the east coast selector and his Groovy Groovy crew for some time, and we've been waiting far too long to share this scorcher of a mix with you. Don't miss Akanbi's set as Sustain-Release this year as well!

We are excited to welcome a podcast from Seattle's Aos, an integral member of the Blankstairs/Secondnature/TUF families and a talented producer & DJ whose vast influences and thoughtful curation are evident at every turn.

Here, she weaves between deftly-swung grooves and ethereal techno with ease, building a magnificent hour of music that simultaneously recalls the vast ranges of the Pacific Northwest, and the unmistakable energy of Seattle's vibrant underground.

We're excited to kick off our new round of podcasts with Secondnature's Fugal. Recorded live during an extended set at Berlin's Griessmühle, the Seattle expat deftly mixes functional, sharp-edged techno with almost unnatural precision. This one sets a high standard, and reminds us why Fugal is one to watch.

Masha & Alison Swing's Dig Deeper LA took form around the same time we did, and it was clear from the get-go that we had similar visions for our respective cities. Watching them make quite a name for themselves as DJs & promoters has been a thrill, and we're excited to welcome Masha to our podcast with a savory hour of sharply-mixed house.
