Hailing from St. Petersburg, Maruwa settled in Frankfurt and snatched a residency at Offenbach’s notorious Robert Johnson. In stark contrast to some of the artists of her generation, her approach to genres like trance and progressive is subtle, avoiding the loud garishness that often comes with it. Maruwa’s musical aesthetics are well informed by the past’s understatement, say 90’s and 2000’s techno, house, and early trance, leading to a vibe that allows for proper dance floor longevity.

That Eli Keszler’s mix for our podcast series sounds different to most of the other episodes doesn’t come as a surprise. Although he collaborated with Skrillex for a track called „A Street I Know„, Keszler is not a conventional club music artist. In fact, he’s quite the opposite: In his work, he combines Jazz, experimental music, and Ambient, which is pretty precisely what the mix encompasses. So: Buckle up–and wind down. What did you have in mind when recording this mix?
