MAITSE

New era. Breaking the chains that once holds us back. April 25th it’s a reminder of how, across history, people have risen to claim freedom and equality. In Portugal and Italy, this day stands as a powerful symbol of liberation, resistance, and the enduring fight for dignity. From revolution to the fall of oppression, April 25th marks the moments when courage reshaped the future. For our fourth podcast series, we present Italian artist based in London, @mai.tse — co-founder of @polyritmica — known for a hypnotic yet raw sound. A serious collector with an eclectic ear, delivering a one-hour mix. This mix carries a message worth hearing. Even when we’re not there, you can always find us through sound.

Maitse doesn’t need introductions, but for those who are new here: he’s a London-based DJ, producer, and sound engineer. A true explorer of sounds who’s mainly drawn to hypnotic pulses and raw techno, with the aim of provoking introspection through music and inviting crowds to lose themselves within. Expect plenty of hypnotic swirling, experimental beats, and broken bit! Hope you’ll enjoy it live tonight and in case you will miss it, the recording will be on Soundcloud soon! #aoife #maitse #roughradio #roughradioshow #techno

Minimal, house, downtempo, electro, ebm, deep & tribal techno. Just a few of the sounds our residents explored during the radio showcase at @set.vault this past February. Each artist brought something unexpected to the table: unusual selections, deep cuts, and probably a few of their favorite hidden gems. Now you can relive that special day. Every set is available to stream on SET’s SoundCloud page. Sound in the clips by:
