<![CDATA[Culture Cuts]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/culture-cuts At the center of Culture Cuts is the intersection of cultural diversity and electronic music. German-born, now Aarhus-based DJ Rafa Berlinson selects a different non-western region of the world for each show, highlighting local producers and DJs as well as the Diaspora and their influence on the local (and sometimes on the global) music scene. From energetic Afro House and futuristic East Asian techno tunes to hypnotic oriental house and Arabian funk records, each show delves into the rich world of global interpretations of electronic music.

Rafa Berlinson started publicly DJing in 2019 and has since worked with a variety of international DJs and artists including the Syrian-led Beatroots collective in Germany, DJ Hoodcat from L.A. (who hosts the Alleycats Radio Show) and many others. All information on upcoming events and shows can be found on his Instagram @rafa_berlinson, where you are also welcome to leave feedback, song suggestions or guest set/collaboration requests.

Culturally, it celebrates themes from Middle Eastern, Asian, and North African traditions. Oriental House draws listeners into a vibrant soundscape that emphasizes rhythm, spirituality, and community.

This unique blend not only showcases East Asia’s rich cultural heritage but also pushes the boundaries of electronic music, making the featured artists a dynamic and influential force in the global techno landscape.
