Following guest mixes from Ostgut Ton heavyweights Nick Höppner and nd_baumecker back in March, Berlin host @driscollobos welcomes two of Germany’s finest purveyors of house music to Rinse FM for the third edition of Disco&Mercy's takeover. First up is @Virginia-dj, the latest addition to Panorama Bar’s roster of resident DJs, who recently made her debut on the club’s in-house Ostgut Ton label with ‘Loch & Hill’ EP. Perhaps best known as the voice behind Steffi’s house hit Yours, Virginia has been producing, DJing & lending her vocal talents to artists such as Steve Bug, Pier Bucci and Abe Duque since the late 90s . Since moving to Berlin from her hometown of Munich, her DJ sets have become hugely popular among Panorama Bar regulars for their exuberant blend of modern house with the warm analogue textures of the 80s and 90s. Joining Virginia will be the bona fide house legend @IanPooley. With a career spanning two decades and six studio albums, Ian is currently enjoying one of his best years yet; he dropped his ‘What I Do’ LP earlier in January via his own Pooled Music label, preceded by a single on the Dixon-operated Innervisions. Next month sees the release of a remix LP featuring reworks of What I Do tracks by Stimming and Delano Smith. Download

Download Dean Driscoll set tracklist Radio Slave set tracklist Berlin-based all-vinyl show, Disco&Mercy, returns for their fourth Rinse broadcast. Regular presenter @Driscollobos welcomes a pair of fellow UK ex-pats: @Rekids co-founder Matt Edwards, AKA Radio Slave, and Work Them Records owner @SpencerParker, digging into their crates to spin recent vinyl purchases along with some old favourites. Under a slew different aliases, the most famous being Radio Slave, Matt Edwards has become one of underground house and techno’s biggest names over the past decade, co-founding the Rekids imprint in 2006 with sub-labels Cabin Fever and Pyramids of Mars soon following. He joins Disco&Mercy this month following the release of his new Balance double CD mix compilation and the announcement of his new label, @The-Double-R, which will focus on uncovering a new generation of talented & original techno producers. Joining Matt and Dean will be Croydon’s Spencer Parker. With a discography including EPs on Rekids, Tsuba, Buzzin Fly and Ovum, plus a full length LP on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records, 2013 sees Spencer going from strength to strength, with a busy DJ & release schedule and regular sets at Panorama Bar. He launched his own label last year: Work Them Records has already featured Pittsburgh Track Authority, Arttu and Dana Ruh among its releases so far. Spencer appears on the show in the wake of his latest single, Change Yo Beat – his first release of his own on Work Them, which features a remix from previous D&M guest, Ostgut Ton’s Ryan Elliott.

Download Rinse FM's Berlin show returns for its final broadcast of the year, welcoming all-vinyl sets from a trio of rising Berlin-based talents to watch out for in 2014. Presenter @Driscollobos welcomes @DanaRuh to the studio, following an excellent recent Boiler Room appearance & ahead of a debut album due early next year. Ruh will be looking to build on an excellent 2013, which has seen her sign to Sven Väth's Cocoon agency while her label @Brouqade keeps going from strength to strength. Also on board will be ex-pat Englishman & Berghain regular @Ed-Davenport, who has built on a steadily growing reputation by this year launching his own @Counterchange-recordings label, which is bringing an esoteric flavour to Berlin house & techno. We catch up with him with a New Year's Berghain set lined up plus more to come from his fledgling imprint. And we also catch a return set from Berlin-via-Brooklyn upstart @Evan-Baggs, on warm up duties for the show with some more more ragged & rugged house grooves.
