Michael Holland
Baltic digger and radio host with a record-collector’s ear
Based in Rīga, Latvia
Expect a selector set built from Baltic and north-eastern European records: Polish jazz, Latvian post-punk, disco and newer Estonian music. As a DJ he works in collage mode, pulling from field recordings, leftfield house, techno and outsider rhythm music rather than clean genre lanes.
More about Michael Holland
Michael Holland is part of the Riga-side NTS/Ono orbit, and his records were shaped by years of traveling and digging in the Baltics. He also helped found the Independent Community Radio Network, which fits his broader habit of building radio infrastructure around obscure and local music scenes.
A story
