Paul and Das know many of the world-renowned guests well. You can’t fake the warmth, friendship empathy and mutual respect between the hosts and guests. After the ULF podcast finishes, you just feel happier.
The first three episodes were filmed and recorded during ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) 2025 from Armada Studios, Amsterdam, which gives a wonderful live feel to proceedings and as the show goes on, a crowd gathers to listen to the amazing DJs on offer and the guests join the crowd, because the music is just so good.
ULF Podcast Episode 1 (Video) starts the podcast series off very strongly, the prog house legend that is Ruben Karapetyan kicks of proceedings with a wonderful 4 track mix of fresh-out-the-kitchen including an amazing unsigned track from the US-based Armenian, and chat about life on the road.
Next up is Brooklyn’s Mir Omar whose dreamy set is paced perfectly to put you in a good mood and get those shoulders moving no matter what time of day you’re listening. some insights into the NY prog scene and looking to the future.
Completing the American trilogy is Orlando FLA’s Blake Jarell, who knows the studio at Armada well, after years working with Armin van Burren. Warm, rich tones ease into laid-back breakbeats as his set builds in intensity without rushing the tempo. He also talks about working with Armin and what it feels like to return after having to step away from music for a while.
