the B-side of club DJs

In each episode a DJ shares a side to their music taste they rarely get to show; not a club set, not what they are usually expected to play. Step into their private world and discover what they grew up listening to, their go-to songs for singing in the shower, their musical guilty pleasures, and more. The music that plays when the after is over and it's time to go home.

Every episode is recorded as a continuous listen on SoundCloud and published as a playlist on Apple Music and YouTube Music. Follow on Instagram and check back for new episodes.

ATA063 with Manta: Unwind

after the after · 24.03.2026 · all episodes

I find strength in the artistry of people. Their art reminds me that life is bigger than me, that there are so many lives unfolding in different realities. It grounds me, gives me perspective, and helps me unwind. When you feel lonely, overwhelmed or need to unwind, music can be a best friend. It connects you to so many stories and reminds you that you are actually not alone in this strange, sad and happy human experience. It reminds you that perfection, or even the idea of 'the best', isn't real like damn good is. That's why I especially seek long syncopated textures, warm builds and singing with soul poured into it. This mixtape is to stretch time and unwind with a blend of trip-hop, indie, classic soul and a splash of dub reggae and psychedelic rock.
