We’re partnering with @dmusicmarketing - a Latin American music marketing agency actively connecting independent labels, artists and the regional listener and beyond - to present a guest curator who doesn’t show their face and doesn’t take requests.

AcidBaby is a writer and selector born in Lima, currently between Vancouver and somewhere warmer, chasing transmissions from the global club fringe. Experimental sound design, deconstructed electronics, ambient folk, post-everything. They study how LATAM aesthetics travel, mutate, and come home differently.
Their playlist is called Border Frequencies.

Electronica fractured through glass. UK bass speaking Spanish. Ambient folk from Caracas to Tokyo. Transmissions from the in-between, where LATAM’s avant-garde bleeds into the global underground and back.
This is a journey, not a recap.

Ten days ago we participated in @athens.music.week , where we curated a panel about music discovery and what it looks like when it’s driven by people, not taste-flattening algorithms.

It was a lively affair, fueled both by the unique perspectives our dear panelists brought to the table alongside valuable input by the audience too - so much so that we decided to document the key takeaways on our blog too.

The end of the conference also marked the end of this year’s @mteacademy cohort, an eye-opening period hopefully for the mentors and our fellow mentees alike, we want to wish everyone all the successin their respective projects and hopefully cross paths in the future as well!

@tijanatt needs little introduction - close to 20 years in Serbia’s music scene, 700+ shows across 60 countries, and a reputation built on acid-laced, genre-fluid sets that have filled rooms from Berghain to Boiler Room to Rainbow Disco Club. She is, by any measure, one of the most enduring forces on the global circuit.

Her @crates.app playlist is called Yugo. A personal archive drawn from Yugoslavia - the country she was born in, and the one that no longer exists. Progressive, liberal, culturally alive, and undone by nationalism and war. For her generation, that loss was formative. For the rest of us, this playlist is a window into something that feels increasingly like a 20th century Atlantis.

This one is a memory of an entire world.

ARNII is a club industry activist, culture commentator and DJ based between Tbilisi and Prague - with a decade building underground scenes, creative directing FUCHS2, and now running an independent practice helping artists navigate the current industry ecosystem. He’s as sharp on Instagram algorithms as he is on warehouse acoustics and a strong advocate of Georgian electronic music’s presence in Central & Eastern Europe, connecting Tbilisi’s emerging scene with the rest of the world.

His Crates playlist is called Melancholy At 140: Introduction to NEO-GRIME. Mid-pandemic, music stopped working for him. Then he fell into a rabbit hole of producers making something without a name - grime tempo, trance pads, the emotional gravity of wave music, club logic rebuilt around feeling. It brought him back.

Melancholy-drenched, floor-adjacent, sitting in the in-between where the best niche genres live. This is NEO-GRIME.

@dimitrazina is a Berlin based curator, DJ and radio host at the centre of the city’s jazz and soul scene and well beyond it. She’s managed productions for Mulatu Astatke, Butcher Brown and Abdullah Ibrahim, served on the executive board of the Berlin Club Commission, and curated programmes for Worldwide FM, Radio Alhara, Stegi Radio and Refuge Worldwide. Her DJ sets have taken her to acclaimed venues and festivals such as XJAZZ!, Jazz Re:Found and Fotografiska Berlin. The through line is always the same: music that is equally timeless and contemporary.

Her playlist “Side B”  follows her there - into the spaces where jazz, improvisation, broken rhythm and electronics blur into each other, taking off from familiar reference points and landing into unexpected destinations.

@_pink.wav is an Athens-based DJ and creative whose sets blur genre lines without losing the thread - bass, vocals, breaks and percussion woven into a sonic reflection of human complexity. Her mixes have aired on NTS, Kiosk Radio and Komrad, and she hosts her own show “time:stamps” on Stegi Radio. In parallel she’s been steadily making her mark on stages and festivals across Greece and beyond.

Her playlist for us is called Dub Descendants. A deep dig into dub’s long shadow - from Jamaican soundsystem culture to the UK, and into everything it’s shaped since. Dub-techno, jungle, drum & bass, dubstep and its most recent revival! This is her map of where the root system runs.

Here’s Pt.2 of Preparing a DJ set in Crates, with a stronger focus on Discogs collection digging and ripping to aiffs when venues don’t support turntables (booooo).

Metadata magic included.

🎥 @verybusythenia

To watch the full YouTube video —> link in bio.

Team member @stathis_kalatzis walks us through his @crates.app workflow, from local files screening to Bandcamp digging and vinyl ripping, to stitch together a banging hardgroove playlist. In the process he’s channeling the same energy that defined his early 00s Mr. Statik era and what that sound has transformed into these days.

Real digging hasn’t changed - just the software we use to do it. 🎥 @verybusythenia

Our next Crates Curated playlist is by someone who smoothly moves between the booth, the mic, the archive and the academy - and makes it all feel like one seamless experience.

@ninakeh , aka, Nina Kehagia is a DJ, broadcaster, researcher and cultural curator with over 16 years of tracing the deeper currents of electronic music. She hosts Devil’s Dancers on @resonancefm , leads content at global community @shesaid.so , and is currently in production on a documentary about Liverpool’s underground dance music histories. As if she weren’t busy enough, her PhD research runs alongside all of it - quietly complimenting everything.

Informed by her combined taste all these years, her playlist for us is called Afterhours: The Chill Out Room. Consider it a late morning (or night for that matter) exhale.
