The Bearded Show: The Evolution of Sandro Bani’s Radio Residency

The Bearded Show: The Evolution of Sandro Bani’s Radio Residency
“The journey of Sandro Bani behind the decks isn’t just about the music—it’s about evolution. While the world now knows him as ‘The Bearded DJ,’ his radio legacy began long before the beard.
 
A Legacy of Sound: From 2011 to Today
The story started in 2011 with the original ‘Sandro Bani’s Radio Show’. Back then, a clean-shaven Sandro quickly built a loyal global fanbase, proving his ear for the finest House and Progressive House. Now, over a decade later, that legacy has transformed into a sophisticated new sonic experience: The Bearded Show.
The Concept: Long Beard vs. Short Beard Mix
Launched in 2023, the new show introduces a unique dual-format concept designed to cater to every mood of the electronic spectrum. Every last Sunday of the month, a new episode drops in one of two signature versions:
  • The Long Beard Mix: A deep, immersive journey into the atmospheric world of Melodic Techno. These extended sets (up to 90 minutes) are crafted for a cinematic listening experience, focusing on hypnotic progressions and underground textures.

  • The Short Beard Mix: A high-energy, dynamic selection dedicated to the euphoric power of Trance. This version delivers peak-time intensity, featuring the latest trends, exclusive bootlegs, and worldwide previews—often before their official radio date.
Over 40 Episodes of Pure Curation
Currently surpassing the milestone of Episode 40, The Bearded Show has shifted its primary focus toward the cutting-edge fusion of Melodic Techno and Trance. Whether it’s an unreleased ID or a trending anthem, each episode is a hand-picked selection of the month’s most influential tracks.
 
Available exclusively on SoundCloud, The Bearded Show is more than just a podcast—it’s a monthly appointment for those who live and breathe electronic music. Don’t miss the next evolution of the beat.”
