HOTCAST #21 - ALMEDINA
Based in Munich with Bosnian roots, Almedina was born in Burghausen, where she had her first experiences with electronic music at a young age.
Over the last 16 years, she has seen, heard, hosted, and experienced a lot, all of which shaped her music knowledge and taste today. She has a knack for reading the crowd and knowing exactly what the dance floor needs. Just like in many aspects of her life, she sets her own rules when it comes to making music and loves mixing genres in her own way. She prefers to act intuitively, letting the music guide her and making minimal plans before her sets. Musically, she is currently moving somewhere between tech house, tribal house, acid, progressive and minimal-oriented techno. Driving, bouncy, and groovy. Before Almedina realized her long-held dream in March 2023 by partnering with three others to open her first official house club in Munich, called LEGAL, she initiated and managed various underground music and art projects.
We are so excited for next weekend — and we hope you are too!
LINEUP///
CLUB
CHET RUBBS B2B LEX
Evolving from Chet Rubbs’ love for vintage Detroit aesthetics, dub textures, tribal percussion, and old-school house tension, this B2B meets Lex’s rolling basslines, crisp drums, and fluid, tech-infused groove. Together they create a vinyl-driven journey between deep resonance, playful movement, and subtle swing.
FLOPPY DISK B2B TINO MACHAUER
Driven by Tino Machauer’s hypnotic vinyl approach, crisp hi-hats, and layered rhythms, this set meets DJ Floppy Disk’s groove-led energy of swinging basslines, emotional textures, and raw house, rave, and techno influences — balancing minimal depth with vibrant, driving moments.
EFAU B2B GOIABA
More than a B2B, Efau and Goiaba are best friends who discovered music and the dancefloor together. Groovy, percussive house and driving basslines meet melodic, bouncy, and progressive elements — creating an intuitive flow between energy, emotion, and connection.
BAR
SONIC VIBRATION DJS

HOTCAST #20 - TROTSKY
This particular set by Trotsky is a standout moment in Tbilisi’s clubbing scene, specifically for how it challenged the traditional „warm-up“ etiquette. Recorded at Left Bank’s Garden Stage (Outdoor area), Trotsky executed a vision to dissolve the rigid boundary between „listening music“ and „dance music.“
