WIDE Radio Fiesta Vol.3

The third edition of WIDE Radio Fiesta took place on February the 2nd, at a cozy little venue of Los Chaguaramos, Caracas: in a semi-abandoned maisonette with a panoramic view of the city and el Ávila, on a terrace where our guests came and went to get some air and engage in de rigueur chitchat, cigarettes and beercans in their hands.

 

Opening the celebration was our dear friend Koji’s showroom for his exciting new clothing label: ERA,  with his eye-catching jackets at the main wall hanging from badass-y chains. Shirts and other garments adorned the rest of the surrounding space in an amalgam of a vintage biker concept, with oldschool cassette boomboxes and a few NES consoles where our guests showed off their skills at Mario Bros, Duck Hunt among other nostalgic gray plastic cartridges. This was the right place and time for the birth of a new archetype: a motorcycle riding, big air grabbin’ sadboy, traversing a neon pink sky as he’s assaulted by the intoxicating memory of mad thicc babes.

 

 

After the showpieces were shown, Mono con $uerte and Dr. 100 – from renowned Matraca label – took the wheel transmitting their B2B set from Perú. The residents of Lima starte out smooth like butter with a chilloutsy repertoire that slid through hip-hop, R&B and brazilian music as it escalated in intensity towards their comfort zone: Juke and Footwork.
This was followed by the premiere presentation WoMo The Flame and YUNGLiAN, who performed a profuse hemorrage of sick lyrics to the beat of trap and hip-hop with the lights shut off, illuminated only by the flashing of cellphone cameras and the non-stop ERA visuals creating an intimate mood which stood counter to the lyrics of surly, intoxicated and criminal vibes.


At 8 p.m., after this interlude of performance and slowe tempos – and to maintain a nicely bipolar atmosphere – we recieved Subdata’s transmission from Valencia, with a club music discharge that made quite a few people break a sweat. Then came Anarculture, with a breathy mix of house, garage, baile funk adorned by tasteful indie pop pickings: Yaeji, Jorja Smith and Kaytranada were a few of the gems tossed among the glitter.

 



 

 



 

🌐We visited Chile, London and New York on our last party✈ check it out! 

 

When the drinks had mangled a good part of our brains, the place was already crowded with party people wanting more, as to forget the feeling of being magnetically pushed outside of our country which permeate these dire days of patria: this heartfelt need was answered by our comrade Bestialo Culapsus, who delivered a little reprise of the – classic – set he presented at “Se Alínea El Cosmos” back in 2013, that he himself couldn’t stop dancing to. To relieve him, and to end the night gracefully, Koji hit the mixing desk again with what might only be described as a “hipster happy hour” seasoned with coarse-grained reggaetón classics, in order to shake all of them booties and bring out our tropical tumbao.
