On The Grid, with deejay Dante Scaglione, excavates the earworms and oddities of international dance music and adjacent ambiance: synthesizer-laden, sometimes lounge-y, sometimes rave-y, and almost always sitting atop a programmed, percussive grid. From pop rap to acid house, trip-hop to new wave, synth-pop to street soul, with a special emphasis on anything Euro and Italo, a vast array of styles are unified in the ultimate pursuit of catching a vibe.

Exotic / funk / soul / electronic / etc …
He played a sick remix of Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes” re-edit mix by Russian Sergio Manifesto. Check it.

try his wild album: Ein Bündel Fäulnis in der Grube, LP (AtaTak, 1983). he also has other fantastic albums all thru the 80's-90's. Curious, was that track from actual 12" mix record ?
Paulo AD:
That tune was a banger

Now, I realise that's terrible behaviour and problematic but hey, I'm in a good mood and not depressed as usual so I'll chalk that up to a win
