Denis aka Radio Hobo is a German Venezuelan living in Berlin, a dj, a crate digger and a painter, to name a few of his artistic skills. He got invited this year to a festival in Cabo Verde where he played music and exhibits his art as a painter. During this trip, he found incredible rare gems on vinyl that he put altogether exclusively for 716lavie.

Yancity Gurl is a young Russian Producer living in Kazan, state of Tatarstan, 11 hours drive east from Moscow.

I discovered his music through his track “Thou Shalt Not Forget” featured on the compilation U S S R (Ur Social Status Resistance) on Opal Tapes.

Later on I found more of his tracks and still loved his original techno vibe, his classy touch, the twist of early rave and deep house.

He released in september 2016 a full EP on Opal Tapes “Shadow Medium” :

I’m super happy to publish his mix today, 1st january, on 716lavie : it’s excellent techno music right there, groovy, smart, perfectly mixed and fresh as hell. Welcome to 2017.
