Sordid Culture 018: DOT
This month we go to Israel, a country that has only recently been witnessing a rise in the popularity of the underground House music nightlife. While it is the birthplace for some of the most respected international headliners such as Guy Gerber, Maayan Nidam, Chaim, Shlomi Aber, and many more; most find that is still too difficult to gain popularity locally and emigrate to European destinations. This is something Dotan Bibi (aka DOT) hopes to change over the coming years. Dotan was born and still resides in Jerusalem, a city you might think, quite aloof to electronic music. Yet, he has already released on labels such as Moon Harbour, Gluckskind, and Legotek, and has an upcoming release on NYC’s notorious Thema (which you can hear in this podcast). Over the years DOT has gained much local notoriety and is now considered one of the best rising Israeli Producers. His sets and productions tend to always give homage to classic Detroit and Chicago sounds. As you will soon hear, this podcast will transport you back in time, when music was less about pop and more about soul.

Sordid Culture 017: Derek Plaslaiko
Most seasoned US listeners can probably say that at some point or another Derek Plaslaiko played one of the best sets that they’ve ever experienced. That is because since his early 90′s rave days until now, Derek never took any short cut. He’s known for doing overtime digging crates to find records that will perfectly fit his collections and for possessing one of best characters in the industry. As a vynil DJ, he has perfected his mixing skills in his early years by, among other things, listening and going over old mix-tapes from the godfathers of Detroit Techno. His hard work and his ability to transport an audience on a musical quest has led him from a residency at Detroit’s Motor in the mid 90s to a coveted residency in 2004 at NYC’s renowned Bunker club. In the last few years Derek started to put time into releasing his productions but his initial notoriety was purely acquired behind the decks, something quite rare which speaks to his talent. Currently, Derek resides in Berlin traveling Europe from gig to gig and this year he will make his fourth appearance at Detroit’s Electronic Musical Festival. Also, keep an eye out for his next TUNE: BMG & Derek Plaslaiko – Is Your Mother Home – IT29, which happens to also be featured in this podcast.
