"Get ready to groove with the one and only Maxim Leurentop, better known as Guy Maxi or Maxi The Creator! Picture this: It's a frosty winter night, the clock strikes late, and where does our maestro choose to spin his tunes? In his unfinished kitchen, of course! But don't you worry, this funky kitchen setup is the place where dreams come to life.

For two whole hours, Maxi takes us on a wild journey through the realm of house music. From funky beats to soulful rhythms, he's got it all covered. Join him in his musical adventure as he busts out the tracks that caught his ear throughout the past year. It's a sensational blend of sounds that'll have you grooving all night long.

But this kitchen set isn't just about the music; it's a reflection of Maxi's passion for creation. As he rocks the turntables, he can't help but daydream about warmer weather and sun-soaked days. And hey, who can blame him? We all yearn for those sunny vibes, right?

So, get cozy, grab a mug of hot cocoa, and let Maxi's playlist transport you to a world of rhythm and beats. This kitchen party is all about embracing the chaos and celebrating the joy of music. Are you ready to dance your way through this winter night? The kitchen awaits!
For a glimpse into the kitchen behind the man, I highly recommend checking out his captivating kitchen content on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maximleurentop"

Our guest for November's edition is TS Kahuna! He is an Italian selector based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founder of Spazio Aperto, a radio project aiming to bridge different points in the electronic music universe and unveil emergent artists latent music flavours, he strives for his music not to be constrained by genres limitations and fall into boxes.

His broad interest in electronic music from different times and places is reflected in his polyhedric and mutable sets, which not only often span multiple genres, but also moods and tempos. From ambient, downtempo and UK tinged IDM to pounding breaky techno and footwork, passing through colourful trance and polyrhythmic oddities. An attentive hear will recognize the recurrence of some elements throughout his sets: complex and atypical rhytmic compositions, mind-bending synth lines and the occasional tongue-in-cheek edits. 

1st Hour - DZ
2nd Hour - TS Kahuna

His words about the mix:
While winter is definitely not my favourite season, I must say it’s definitely the period of the year I find most inspiring in music. Sun-kissed parties come to an end and Copenhagen slowly falls into a dark, cold numbness. 

Here is where my most introspective, cerebral music side rises. 
This mix was supposed to be one of those winter-like sets: infused with organic dub-techno meditations and spacey oddities, yet it turned out to be something slightly more complex. 
Like the sunny day turning into a foggy evening when I recorded it (and like the recent period of my life which has seen quite some emotional turmoil), it showcases some different colours from my sound palette. Darker tinged tones leave space to some euphoric percussion driven moments, flowing constantly up un down in tempo only to find some steadiness towards the end. 

I sure enjoyed doing this one a lot, hope you like it too!"

"Exposed to electronic music at a young age through his brother’s mixtapes, Ed quickly developed a deep curiosity that led him to Brighton’s record shops and jungle scene. Over time, he immersed himself in running and supporting local events, which naturally evolved into a passion for production and exploring diverse genres.

Having played in the UK, Amsterdam, Asia, and beyond, Ed spent several years in Bangkok, where he connected with the city’s growing music scene and refined his eclectic taste. Now back in the UK, his ever-evolving breakbeat-infused sound reflects a love for curveballs, classics, and hidden gems.

Through his Hand In Hand parties and label, Ed focuses on spreading a genuine appreciation for music—free from ego or pretence. With releases on labels like Habits, Jerk It, and Minimo, and upcoming projects with System Error, Ed’s dedication to music remains as strong as ever."
