Room Beats LAB 01 – March 2023

ROOM BEATS LAB 01

RBLAB01 PODCAST + DJ SET

March 11, 2023

The very first episode of the podcast – only we screwed up the microphone recording, so what you get here is the DJ set I played afterwards at Room Beats, playing pretty much all the tracks I presented in the LAB.

Podcast highlights:

COD3 QR + releases by Patrice Baumel, Moderat, Malaa, Everything But The Girl, Drumcomplex, Maria Grazia Arghirò, Fred Again.. and more; remixes by Solomun, Logic1000 and more.

ABOUT ROOM BEATS LAB PODCAST

Room Beats L.A.B. – Learn About Beats is the new podcast by Burningmax that follows the airwave adventures of the two “seasons” of WTF – Wonderful Techno Frequencies @ Deli Radio and Pot Radio.

Room Beats is a boiler room style event held in the electronic lounge room of the Together Mansion, a co-living experiment in Rome Trastevere. I played a few times at Room Beats over the last few years.

Room Beats L.A.B. – Learn About Beats is the Burningmax podcast that “opens” for the DJs playing at Room Beats. I play and mix the latest underground electronic music releases, introducing tracks, artists, remixers, labels. Pretty much like I was doing with the WTF podcasts, only this time with the Room Beats live audience, that I interview about their experience in electronic music, and with the artists or labels I played. Of course I interview and try to get a few stories also from the Room Beats DJs.

PODCAST SCHEDULE

Room Beats L.A.B. – Learn About Beats has a (roughly) monthly frequency. We go live from the electronic lounge of the Together Mansion every time there is a Room Beat event – pretty much every month. If you miss a show you’ll be still able to find all the podcast episodes on my MixCloud profile, and on this page, where you van also download the full podcast episodes.

ABOUT THE PODCAST HOST

Massimo began broadcasting on the radio in the 1980s, with a new wave, post-punk and indie rock music program, and with the name DJ Sonic. After that seminal radio show, which lasted a couple of years, he continued to produce mixtapes, compilations and mixes to be handled out to friends, and to sweat on dancefloor around the world, under any “influence”, from rock to dance.

In 2008 Massimo got his hands on a DJ console at the Burning Man festival, and since then the “fever” of the mix never left him: Burningmax was born, and in the last 15 years Massimo has played live in festivals around the world and explored the world of production, with a handful of remixes to its credit. In 2017 Burningmax returned to the radio with two WTF – Wonderful Techno Frequencies “seasons” at Deli Radio and Pot Radio, the expanded into the new Room Beats L.A:B. format thanks to the Room Beats live audience.

THANK YOU
