    Local Selection 311: Karlaa

    Karlaa soundtracks Local Selection 311, bringing her lifelong connection to rave culture to the mix for a high-energy power hour. Hailing from Galway, Karlaa is a 29-year-old DJ who has spent the past two years carving out her place within Ireland’s club culture circuit. Her musical palette leans towards high-octane sounds, unapologetically anchored in the emotional side of rave, a sound shaped as much by nostalgia as it is by the harder, more futuristic and contemporary edges of trance. Coming from a family heavily involved in the ’90s rave scene at the peak of the free party movement, she was raised on the music, energy and culture that defined a generation of underground dance music. Those early influences remain at the core of her approach to DJing today. Her selections are driven by momentum, with big melodies and tougher rhythmic elements working together to create sets that feel both euphoric and relentless. There is a clear nostalgic thread running through her sound, but rather than simply recreating the rave music she grew up with, Karla uses those references as a foundation for something distinctly current. That balance between nostalgia and progression is central to Karlaa’s approach. Her music draws on the freedom and intensity of rave culture while embracing the sounds and aesthetics of a new generation of electronic music. The result is a DJ style that feels equally connected to the past and the present — high-energy, emotional and made for the dancefloor. For this Local Selection Mix, Karlaa brings that perspective into the mix, moving through hard-edged trance, euphoric melodies, acid and bounce. It is a snapshot of where her sound is heading: driving, nostalgic and unapologetically rave-focused. Karlaa

    Local Selection 310: Nancy Wilde

    Step into Nancy Wilde’s deep, chugging and effortlessly tripped-out world as she soundtracks Local Selection 310: a hypnotic trip through rolling prog, psychedelic grooves and kaleidoscopic rhythms built for the dancefloor’s twilight hours. Nancy Wilde is a Portugal-born, Ireland-based DJ, radio host and curator whose sets drift between cosmic disco, italo, deep house, acid and more. She is renowned for creating atmospheric, instinctual excursions that strike a chord between hypnotic rhythms and haunting, after-hours intensity. She is the host of Time Capsule and Polar Disco Radio on Flirt FM. Nancy has brought her distinctive sound to venues across Europe, performing at Koncept in Zagreb, Lemonade in Budva, Kosovo Kolektiv Radio in Prizren, Agimi Underground in Tirana, Chillin Bar in Skopje, Collect Radio (Cais do Sodré) in Lisbon, and Frecuencia in Madrid Nancy’s contribution to the Local Selection Mix series is a fevered blend of kaleidoscopic, tripped-out prog and psychedelic earworms. Mixed with the intuition of someone always thinking three tracks ahead, it unfolds as a seamless journey into dense, humid atmospheres where tribal drums pulse with a life of their own and long, sprawling synths stretch endlessly across rolling rhythms. The result evokes the feeling of stumbling into a hidden clearing at 8am on the final morning of a festival. Blazing sun overhead, scattered bodies submerged in hypnotic grooves, and time dissolving into the music. Nancy Wilde

    Local Selection 307: mkbest

    For the 307th edition of the series, mkbest delivers a deep and lush selection of rolling house, carefully shaped into a slow-burning, immersive journey. Belfast’s mkbest is an artist deeply embedded in the city’s club culture, an instinctive student of deeper, more refined strains of house music. Her sound is rooted in a stripped-back, patient aesthetic that prioritises atmosphere, progression, and emotional connection on the dancefloor above all else. Drawing influence from artists such as Malin Genie and Etzu Mahkayah, alongside foundational figures like Eddie Richards and Kerri Chandler, her selections bridge contemporary underground sensibilities with the classic lineage of house music. She moves fluidly between these worlds, navigating them with a subtle, deliberate touch. This mix feels like a complete expression of her approach. Sound, pacing, and intent aligned. Each track is chosen with a clear rationale, reflecting a selector’s mindset that resists excess or distraction. Gradually, she turns the dial, moving through hazy, chord-led atmospheres and ambient-leaning textures into more functional, Chicago-adjacent rhythms. There’s nothing overly attention-seeking here; instead, it’s cool, calm, and assured, much like the DJ at the controls. It sits in that sweet spot between the after-hours and the early morning, where the dancefloor breathes. mkbest
