Mosca runs underground club music inspired by tunes from all over: dub, house, techno, grime and jungle, as well as East coast hip hop, South African house, Shaolin soul, indie and post-rock from his youth, first-wave electro, stripped down ragga and dancehall, a little minimal ghetto stuff, and more. On top of that he's racked up some pretty big guest mixes in past shows.

The iDEALIST

On 27 July 2019, The iDEALIST was a guest on Space Afrika. The iDEALIST has been played over 20 times on NTS, first on 9 June 2019. The iDEALIST's music has been featured on 23 episodes.

Joachim Nordwall (b. 1975, Karlskrona, Sweden), The Idealist, began his experiments in sound as a young boy. In 1987, he formed the Alvars Orkester with Jan Svensson, in which they mixed electronic sound with an interest in psychic broadcasting. He was particularly active within the independent music scene of the 1980s and 90s, releasing work through the Börft Records label. After a brief hiatus, Alvars Orkester has recently (January 2006) released the “Interference” album on London’s Ash International label, showcasing their superb analogue sound experiments. From 1998-2005, he was part of the avant punk rock trio Kid Commando, a band that toured Europe several times. Also in 1998, he founded the iDEAL Organization as a platform for his ongoing work as an artist, label owner and curator of the near-legendary iDEAL Festival for the last four years. Nordwall has collaborated with many artists, including Henrik Rylander, Lasse Marhaug and Leif Elggren. He lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden and is a founding member of experimental rock band The Skull Defekts.
