Favoriting On The Grid with Dante Scaglione: Playlist from April 24, 2023 Favoriting

On The Grid, with deejay Dante Scaglione, excavates the earworms and oddities of international dance music and adjacent ambiance: synthesizer-laden, sometimes lounge-y, sometimes rave-y, and almost always sitting atop a programmed, percussive grid. From pop rap to acid house, trip-hop to new wave, synth-pop to street soul, with a special emphasis on anything Euro and Italo, a vast array of styles are unified in the ultimate pursuit of catching a vibe.

It details the rise of detroit techno w/ it's cross pollination in the chicago house scene to the berlin axis, and all that tangental tendrils of the scenes through out the continent such as madchester to the balearic party scene.
