Rail Up resident DJ and visual artist Kelman Duran broadcasts monthly with original edits and guests.
A brief two-hour window into the unfathomably rich and storied music of Afghanistan – a musical heritage which reflects the country’s unique geographical position and status as a central point in a melting pot of cultures. The show mostly features recordings from before the outbreak of Afghanistan’s civil war in 1979, or by Afghans living in exile. Music was banned under the Taliban’s initial rule, and since their return to power in 2022, Afghanistan is once again silent.

Life hasn't always been easy for Michael Cassette. For personal reasons he has chosen not to be in public. After graduating from a music academy as a fully licensed violin player, it didn't take long until Michael's attention was captured by another passion, the synthesizer.
In late 2005 Michael Cassette teamed up with the producers Komytea based in Helsinki, to create some of the most inspiring and touching music for the global dancefloors, resulting in singles like Zeppelin and Shadow's Movement. Some years later, it was time for Michael Cassette to take full control of the production work.
Even today Michael Cassette makes no contact with his audience except through his music. Due to his absent nature, he has authorized Komytea to act behalf of him on most occasions.
The essence of Michael Cassette's sound lies in the combination of vintage hardware and the latest technology. The Violin, Michael's secret love, is the source for his vivid, classical sense for melodies and for his enormously wide and detailed harmonic palette.
In mid 2010 Michael Cassette finished his debut album titled "Temporarity". The album as well as all Michael's music is dedicated to the memory of his older brother David who inspired Michael with his genuine love of music. A cover of Miami Vice’s iconic soundtrack ‘Crockett’s Theme’ is like a smooth, sugary shot of Floridian sunshine to the ear, while vocal moments like ‘Through The Windows’ and ‘Nevermore’ touch on the classic 80s tradition of classy synth-pop.
There are progressive club sounds found in the bittersweet glow of ‘Magneta Sunset’, the uplifting ‘Zeppelin’ and the hypnotic flutters of ‘Kilimanjaro’, while forthcoming single ‘Ghost In The Machine’ – released in November alongside a Spirit Catcher remix – is another Michael Cassette classic in the making. Showing off the producer’s versatility, the album closes with the sombre Tangerine Dream-esque electronica of the emotive ‘Funeralia - Farewell To David’.
