Mix of the Week: [sic]nal – BLVSH with Supergross

Galway-native and Berlin-based selector Supergross lights up Hamburg’s [sic]nal radio with a gritty, genre-blurring mix for BLVSH.

Drawing from a palette of dusty, distorted Chicago-adjacent cuts, the mix runs the gamut, from upfront acid scorchers and jackin’ house grooves to the kind of sleazy, after-hours techno Jerome Hill might sling at silly o’clock. It’s wild, raw, and fully dialled into the dancefloor’s darker, more playful edge.

Supergross has long held their own in the Irish techno underground, as one half of the Hotminute duo and founder of Cheek Records, they’ve kept a steady pulse on all things jackin’. Now based in Berlin and curating their own events, there’s a sense they’ve taken a breath, absorbed their surroundings, and come back with a refreshed sound: part classic Chicago, part unhinged UK rave, and wholly her own. It nods to purism but gleefully dismantles it, then rebuilds something rougher and sweatier.

Her latest mix for [sic]nal is a testament to that ethos—bold, weird, and packed with screwball selections. At times it’s no-nonsense jack trax in the vein of Paul Johnson or DJ Pierre. Other moments tilt left, nudging the listener into unfamiliar territory, forcing you to ask: Where am I? Where is this going? That’s the point. It’s a journey designed to mess with you, just enough to keep you hooked.
