Gianni is the man behind the essential Boxes of Toys blog where he posts super obscure and often mind-blowing records, usually focusing on forgotten electronic music and psych. More recently, he started the Orbeatize label where he reissues some of said records. He showcased some current and future Orbeatize releases for the Chambre Noire mix series.

Omid Walizadeh is a veteran indie hip-hop producer from LA whose most recent work is a series of mixes that flip pre-revolution Persian pop music in a way that would make Oh No and Alchemist proud, though perhaps not your uncle Massoud.
