Radio Relativa #22 - Interview - 030303 Records by WE FORFEIT published on 2021-11-16T18:58:34Z WE FORFEIT are off to Utrecht. Off to take in the canals, the cathedrals, the cuisine. And get some acid down us! For the latest episode on Madrid’s Radio Relativa, the focus is a record label that is not just synonymous with the TB303, that silver machine is eponymous! Of course, we are talking about the mighty @030303recs. Sit back and enjoy two ours of acid spiked electronics peppered with lively chat. From the first machinations of 030303 and its partnership with Margherita Records to Rephlex parties and Lowland festival memories, this is a journey deep into the heart of a Dj collective and label that has drawn on a widespread of influences whilst casting an ever-growing net of inspiration across the world. 1) Hi Sander!
