On saturday, May 25, we are hosting our last residency in Control Club this season. This session is unique to us as it brings forward Black Rhino Radio broadcasters from Timisoara. From dub to breaks and garage to drum and bass, we put out a night that slowly raises the tempo, constructing and promoting Timisoara’s underground sound. As usual, the Mc host is Yardie Flo, and the sound is amplified by Riddim Bandits Sound System. 

Get to know the artists and their shows on Black Rhino Radio.

He sees himself as the musical sum of all the genres that have ever touched his soul or stimulated his mind. Since 2012, when he started mixing, music has taken him from local bars and clubs to international festivals (Outlook Festival, 2017).

Mighty Boogie started releasing music in 2012, and their passion for producing pushed him to study Audio Engineering in Berlin. In 2021, he started a label called Sub Heroes, focussing on promoting new talent from his homeland. The label pushes a diverse sound, bouncing between jazzy and nostalgic hip-hop beats and jungle drum and bass tracks with deep and rolling bass lines.

Since 2017, Phoneme has been actively involved in promoting projects in Timisoara,  demonstrating his commitment to the music scene. His initiatives include Bass Request and Sub:Control, both of which have gained significant traction.
