Headcast No. 26 is delivered from Wroclaw, Poland by our good friend DJ Duch.
Also known as DJ Ryan R, we already invited him as a guest at Fusion-Festival’s Seebühne in 2019, when we curated parts of the music programme. As DJ Duch he discovers and explores the little-known and hard to come by music of the 1990s from countries of the Eastern Bloc - check out his below listed releases!
This mix is a brief introduction to the sound of 1990s Eastern European club music. A very refreshing - and most probably impossible-to-find - selection of Deep House, Electro, Breakbeat, and Technoish gems, most of them from Poland, Russia as well as Yugoslavia. DJ Duch describes his enthusiasm for this distinctive music from a unique period of cultural, social and not at least economical transformations as following: „The thing that makes this music unique and interesting in my opinion is the mixture of lack of skills and experiences (many artists in Eastern Europe knew club music just from radio stations and had never been in „proper” club) with great motivation and hope to make it big in the West (which in most cases sadly didn’t happen). After many years of oppressive regime (also concerning art and culture) eastern part of Europe witnessed true explosion of creativity - wild, sincere and with high hopes.“
We highly encourage to take a listen - Cheers!
