In Interview with Orlando Voorn
Calgary artist SageThaCat returns to Moonlight Records on the Work EP wielding two techno tracks inspired by classic 4×4 culture, with accompanying remixes by Orlando Voorn and Mark Adam.
SageThaCat takes the deep textures he introduced on 2018âs For You down a more peak-time oriented path lined with vocal samples, sequencer-styled pulses, and irresistible hi-hats.
Digging Deeper with Tripeo
Last week we had the honor of featuring Darko Esser’s techno project, known around the world as Tripeo, on our weekly Global Vibe Radio mix series.
This week, we had the opportunity of sitting down with the busy Dutch producer, DJ and record label owner to dig deeper in his life, his career and to discuss the mix that we have literally had on rotation non-stop for the last seven days.
If you haven’t listened to the mix, which clocks at a whopping 4 hours in length, we urge you to get to it immediately. It’s actually a live recording from his set at TAG in Chengdu, China, and perfectly captures Tripeo’s sonic journey when he is given the time to flex his muscles behind the DJ booth.
A soundtrack for dark cellars and strobe filled clubs, molded from a pure and uncut techno template. Thatâs what Darko Esserâs Tripeo alter ego is only and all about. Since launching the project, his music has found a home on labels such as Theory, BALANS, PoleGroup, Deep Sound Channel as well as 4 new vinyl-only Trips on his self-titled imprint. Tripeo is a force to be reckoned with on stage as well, as he proved in his machine funk-driven live shows as well as tireless, hypnotic DJ sets in some of the finest clubs and festivals around, as this recording we are presenting to you today proves.
Enjoy the tunes, and the interview, below.

Premiere and Q&A: Fabio Florido & Simina Grigoriu Interview Each Other
PLAYdifferently MODEL 1 ambassador Fabio Florido joins the Kuukou family bringing his unique flair that has captivated crowds around the world and has graced labels such as Richie Hawtinâs Minus and Plus8, among others.
“Bound: kicks off with a rumbling bassline, accented by bulky drums that take center stage. The track glides between percussive and melodic sections with ease, keeping spirits high throughout the changes.
Label head Simina Grigoriu offers an acid-heavy rendition of the track, building a steady lead through compelling pads and tension-ridden sequences.
On a lighter, yet still dancefloor-ready note, “Twilight” perches along atypical sound bites reminiscent of a tropical aviary on a backdrop of concrete-heavy kick drums and a topsy-turvy bassline.
To celebrate the release, we have asked Fabio and Simina to do a different kind of interview than usual. Instead of us asking them questions, we had them interview one another. Here is what they had to say:
