Blitzcast 020 arrives just in time to get us in the mood for our grand pride celebrations on Saturday and Sunday, the 22nd and 23rd of June! Our good friends Jorkes & Paris Böhm, behind the glittering and decidedly queer Freeride Millennium parties, shows, and releases, have crafted a mix to give us a glimpse of what to expect from their late-night set.
Our dear friends Jorkes & Paris Böhm, the brains behind Freeride Millenium, have been stirring up the underground scene with their sets, releases, parties, and radio shows. Their imprint and party series recently released a compilation featuring tracks from several good friends from Blitz as well, in support of Queer Base, an organization based in Vienna that aids LGBTQIA*+ refugees in Austria.
Blitz fans will recognize the names Alessio Barletta, Lavandonia and Alles Andere. The three Italian, Munich-based DJs are known as enthusiastic selectors and scene members with a penchant for Minimal-orientated shades of Techhouse and Electro. Now the three have teamed up to form their own imprint called > DISCONTINUOUS < and have recently released their first EP > BAL < with infectious four tunes and beats from Alessio Barletta himself.
In an era where music is consumed at breakneck speed, predominantly as digital files, and exciting releases flood playlists and airwaves, there will always be musicians, labels, and fans who revel in the opposite – physical releases on vinyl. Music on vinyl, especially in club culture, offers a unique approach.

There’s a new monthly event series at Blitz, taking place Friday once a month: say hello to our new party, Ghosts on Acid!
The Ghosts on Acid invite you to dance and dream, and let the music B R E A T H E in times when dance music mostly is about > harderbetterfasterstronger < by channelling the wide-ranging, blissed out and psychedelic spectrum of House music.
We’ve introduced a new ticket category for all early birds among the dancers: the midnight ticket! The ticket is for all those that value a great opening set and want to discover the whole night from the start of the party.
Lindsey Wang is a unicum in Munich’s lively techno-microcosm and a regular behind our booth, always balancing dynamics and dramaturges, embroidering rolling grooves with a a hypnotizing, experimental sound palette.
She has made a name for herself not only as a skilled DJ, but also as an accomplished producer and head of the IO collective as well as her own QEONE imprint, as part of the contemporary jazz/electronic music fusion project Lyder and her collaborative work with Munich drum wizzard Simon Popp.
Orbital Reflector is a Munich based collective that have gifted our PLUS floor with their inventive musical curations more than once, by now. They have been responsible for some of the town’s most exciting events over the past years with an acquired taste in left field electronic dance music aesthetics, that challenge DJs to develop new and evocative musical dramaturgies and are just as soulful and seductive as well as experimental and unheard of – and equally suited for deep listening and enchanting dancing.
Jonas Yamer is a Munich based audiovisual artist and musician and one of the cornerstones of Munich’s current electronic music scene. Be it as a DJ that often performs at Blitz and consistently delivers dystopian dancefloor delights, as part of the stunning Post-Techno band Carl Gari (who have performed at festivals such as Rewire, Berlin Atonal and Ritournelle right here at Blitz), as an audiovisual artist and as the mind behind Munich’s Molten Moods imprint.
Resident Advisor’s albums of the year feature is a must-read for us at the Blitz office anyway, but we’re even more delighted that Mr. G’s current album, that’s out on our very own Muallem‘s label CHILDHOOD, has been named one of 2023’s best albums.
It’s no secret anymore that Vienna’s musical underground is bursting with talent and skilled artists and that many of the city dance music scene’s interesting figures regularly play at Blitz. Katia Curie is one of them. Blitzcast 018 is a great place to start when getting into the Kyiv born selector, who’s also one of the driving forces behind Vienna’s > Sonic Resistance <.
