380 – Georgi Barrel

Still recovering from the Easter weekend? Then fear not as we’ve got the perfect antidote for your post bank holiday blues with a fresh podcast straight from the German underground from Kassel based DJ & Producer Georgi Barrel.

Whilst it was Hip-Hop that introduced Georgi to production in 2008 it’s his love for House & Techno, which has thrust him into the spotlight for both his skills in the DJ booth and production studio. A self confessed vinyl junky and resident at Kassels underground main stage: A.R.M his ability to produce groovy underground music across the spectrum of electronic whilst maintaining his own strong signature style is evidence of his position at the vanguard of Germany´s electronic music scene.

With his sinnmusik* debut receiving support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Joyce Muniz, Shadow Child and many others we thought the time was right to invite Georgi Barrel to deliver one of his acclaimed mixes for us. Enjoy!
