ROOM BEATS LAB 02

RBLAB02 PODCAST + DJ SET

April 15, 2023

Second episode of the podcast; we screwed up again with the mic recording, so you get again a DJ set that I recorded after the podcast, playing pretty much all the tracks I presented in the LAB, plus more tunes I didn’t have the time to present during the podcast session.

Podcast highlights:

New Laurent Garnier album announced on COD3 QR + first official EBTG remix by For Tet + new releases by AceMo. Giulia Tess, Overmono, Because Of Art, Brutalism 3000, and more. We discuss the latest in DJ supergroups, and dance to some 90’s rave infused new techno beats. Closing track is dedicated to the memory of Maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto, who just passed.

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

Thank you to the Together Mansion for being an amazing Burning Man-inspired hub and community, and for hosting the legendary Room Beats. Kudos also to everybody behind the organizing force of Room Beats, and more thank yous to the Trastevere-based sound gurus Studio 33 and HyperCast for their friendship and also plenty of technical advice for our podcast.
