The wait is officially over. Physical copies of the I Look Good EP by Carissa Illy have arrived and are ready to ship.We want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and waited patiently through our release window.

Running an independent record label means navigating the realities of vinyl manufacturing. During production, a scratch on the stamper meant we had to reject the initial batch and re-cut the plates. We chose to delay the release rather than compromise on sound quality, ensuring the final pressings meet the exact audio standards this project deserves.

Thank you for bearing with us through the process…supporting small labels means supporting the standard of care that goes into every physical record. Strictly limited to 200 copies worldwide.

Featuring remix and compilation support from AWood, Kim Cosmik, and Gutter Princess. Copies are shipping immediately. Thank you for supporting independent music.

Purchase through our site or Bandcamp today. Link in bio.

AROUND THE WORLD: TURKEY 🇹🇷

In a city split between continents and navigating constant political shifts, Istanbul’s dance floors have long served as vital sanctuaries. Where mainstream venues face pressure, the real pulse of Turkey’s underground has retreated into secret spots, DIY basements, and intimate spaces built purely on community. Nightlife here goes deeper than just throwing a party, standing as a living act of connection and collective strength.

Today’s local scene is driven by raw energy and deep versatility, blending heavy-hitting techno, driving rhythms, leftfield breaks, and forward-thinking club sounds. From secret Taksim raves to outdoor community gatherings, the sonic landscape is constantly evolving, shaped by selectors who use sound to build safer spaces and break down rigid boundaries.

At the heart of this movement is Q***rwaves . Since 2014, this Istanbul-born collective has been creating alternative spaces for dance, connection, and expression. Born out of a need for joy and resistance, they have evolved from underground parties into a platform that supports artists, nurtures community, and amplifies voices that do not fit into the mainstream, showing us their culture in sound.

This month, Q***rwaves takes over the airwaves to showcase four vital artists from their community:
A.7 - 4-i
A.14 - Maui
A.21 - Basicdisarm
A.28 - Nots

Stay tuned every Friday at 9pm German time / 12pm Coastal Canadian time and 10pm Turkish time on our digital show collab with Gatekeeper!

Katja Adrikova has been keeping the wires warm between radio and the dance-floor for almost two decades now. Designer by daylight – founder of Adrikorn Artefacts and a DJ by moonlight, Katja has a way of mixing energies as if she were working with elements. Dark but open, playful but precise, soft at the edges when needed, sharp in the right places.

A HALL resident and core member since the beginning, she first began channeling techno to the dancefloor through MÜRK event series in 2014. Then came 1st ISOLA party - stepping into the circle, leading to a creation of Hall Tallinn techno club.

Along the way, Katja’s spells have gotten stronger. She hosts a monthly radio show at IDA Radio, called Personal Space, following her earlier years with Dark Ink Radio on Raadio 2. Since last year, Katja re-joined Halal Club event series which moves between two cities – on Tallinn-Berlin axis.

Transmissions through the radio station or vibrations from the speakers - for Katja, music is a uniting and healing force for the body, mind and soul connection.

Susanna Raiend is a London-based DJ and music curator with roots in Estonia and Sweden. An active contributor between London and Tallinn’s leftfield music scenes, she hosts a monthly show on IDA Radio and has played Sõru Sound Festival, alongside London appearances at NTS, Kindred, Brilliant Corners and Ormside Projects.

Her sets move through Detroit house, electro, acid, UK breakbeat, jungle and leftfield club music, with unexpected shifts into dubstep, dub and trap giving her selections a distinct edge. Her core sound is shaped by the Estonian scene and the many impressive artists around IDA Radio, while living in London has opened her selections up to new scenes and sounds, with recent inspiration also coming from the French underground.

“After all these years of shaping my ear through DJing, radio and digging, I’m now also working on my first production project. It’s something I’ve taken time to begin, partly because finding your own sound can be difficult when so many genres inspire you. But that also opens up space to experiment, play around and discover new directions. No timeline in sight yet for release but having fun with the new challenges and learnings in this world. “

AROUND THE WORLD: ESTONIA 🇪🇪

When independence hit in 1991, the gates flew open, sparking a scene built on grit and secondhand vinyl. But while Tallinn’s early years were defined by raw, industrial warehouses, today’s underground has found its true heart in intimacy and community.

Today’s scene thrives on breaking those old boundaries. Heavy techno footprints are giving way to warmer, groove-centric soundscapes: eclectic Balearic, deep house, cosmic disco, and leftfield breaks. This sonic shift is being nurtured inside intimate, safe, and DIY spaces like HUNGR (Tallinn’s core q***r sanctuary) and the legendary, experimental dancefloors of Kauplus Aasia and Paavli Kultuurivabrik.

At the center of this cultural redirection is a powerhouse collective of women and non-binary artists who are completely changing how the city dances. Through vital community platforms like IDA Radio and intentional, forward-thinking club nights, these selectors are curating a softer, deeper, and more inclusive future for Estonia’s underground.

This month, we’re proud to highlight five vital curators shaping the Estonian sound:

J.3 - Susanna Raiend
J.10 - noa
J.17 - Katja Adrikova
J.24 - Pikkauch
J.31 - Ellen Vene

Stay tuned every Friday at 9pm German time / 12pm Coastal Canadian time, on our digital show collab with Gatekeeper!

From Caracas to Berlin to Copenhagen, they’ve been shaking dance floors with a groove that hits like a slap on the ass—and yes, you’ll beg for another.

A core member of Berlin’s SWEAT collective and co-daddy of Copenhagen’s Bash is Back, Dgeral is building spaces that are unapologetically trans-forward, deeply q***r, and always hot.

Dgeral’s sound is a steamy blend of old-school house, techno, and Latin percussion—equal parts s*x, sweat, and soul.
-—

DGERAL blends stripped-back minimal tech, rolling machine funk, and infectious tribal rhythms into a seamless, groove-driven club journey. Anchored by the deep, dub-engineered baselines of underground heavyweights like Subb-an and SOST (Steve O’Sullivan & Satoshi Tomiie), the set effortlessly balances hypnotic drum loops with raw percussion and nostalgic house vocal edits.

Ana Luisa is a Caracas-born, Toronto-based DJ, producer and creative producer from Caracas, Venezuela.

Her productions have been released on AirTexture, Best In Town Sound, The Raptor Records, Caballito Netlabel, NAAFI, Jupiter4, and Deprerreo.
