I have a pleasure to announce not one, but two amazing guests. Their music is bold and they are not afraid to experiment, sometimes taking your ears on a weird but satisfying journey.

@MichalWolski is an old friend of mine and one of the most interesting Polish producers. His latest music was released on @EndOfPerception Label.

Elle (@ellellellellellellellelle) is from Italy, and from the moment I heard his music, I knew I wanted to have him on the show. You can listen to his latest release on the @Lett-Records.

Expect long ambient soundscapes and slow techno.

In October I've hosted the next amazing guest. This time from Russia @Andrey-Pushkarev.

From the artist itself: "In this podcast, I present different colors of contemporary dub techno. It is executed at 121 bpm to catch the melancholic feeling of the end of summer and the start of the autumn season. Fall reminds us to slow down. This mix could be a good companion for this season”.

Thank you for listening!

The September sessions are very special, as I finally hosted my first female guest - @Sonae from Cologne. She’s been DJing for many years, before turning to production 7 years ago. Her latest album “I started wearing back” was recently released on @MonikaEnterprise.

The mix she created for the podcast is for seasoned listeners: full of unexpected noises and interesting musical turns. Immerse yourself in the dark layers of her industrial techno.

This edition is also special for another reason. I teamed up with my girlfriend Monika to go beyond the idea of a music session. We invited Sonae to our house for an interview and dinner. I created a recipe inspired by her mix and Monika made a plasticine portrait of her. Check it out if you want to know more about how Sonia cooks her music.

In June I had a pleasure to host Refracted. Berlin-based musician makes futuristic techno and ambient sounds. He released an album on @Silent-Season in 2015 inspired by a Jungle. He also did some releases on @Semantica-Records, @Slow-Life, and his own label @Mind-Express. New release on @Sublunar-Records is a great example of how good his music is. A busy man doing bookings for @paral-lel-festival and regularly playing in @TresorBerlin.
