Rumesh presents Petrichor 76 with guest DJ Alma on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across the region and internationally.
Within Sri Lanka's underground music scene, Rumesh is a DJ with a preference for Progressive House. He established Petrichor, a radio podcast series that hosts international talent each week, and the second hour of last week's show is available here.
Guest DJ (first hour) Alma.
The first-hour guest is Alma, Maria Pedraza, also known as ALMA, an Argentinian DJ recognised for the versatility of her mixes. Her percussion studies, particularly in Afro-Cuban rhythms, inform sets of sweet, hypnotic and dark melodies that combine Progressive House with Deep House, Melodic Techno, Techno and Afro House.
Her influences include Sasha, John Digweed, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, alongside melodic techno artists Tale of Us, Moderat and Stephan Bodzin. At the time of publication, she was working on her first productions and her own Radioshow - BOREALSOUNDS, broadcast on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 PM in Argentina through Radio Blue FM 105.3 in La Plata.
Petrichor 76 opens with Sasha's Rooms on Night Time Stories, bringing an Electronica foundation before Oliver & Tom's Lully. Innerphonic's Shade Stereo follows on Caravelle, returning the programme to its Progressive House focus.
Modul Kollektiv and Jean Michel Schober's The Black Track arrives via Moonbootique with a Melodic House and Techno character. Hernan Cattaneo and Lonya then bring Rebirth from HUND MUSIC, introducing a measured Dub turn.
Ricardo Piedra's NOIYSE PROJECT remix of Pallas Athene on Stellar Fountain restores the Progressive House momentum. AxeLara's Port of Dreams, released through Just Movement, keeps that direction in place with another progressive selection.
Lake Avalon's Sunrise on Click Records brings an Organic House shade before Brian Cid's Cometas Y Cometas on Endangered returns to Progressive House. London Grammar's Mattias Herrera edit of Night Call closes the tracklist with a vocal-led final selection.
