From the Morevi Records night at Horoom on June 13th comes this next instalment in the series. In a little over a decade, Separat has proved his mettle behind decks in his hometown Aachen, current base Cologne and other places like Gewölbe, Tresor or Openground. His sound has been instrumental in the local scene, a true underground talent and one of the heads behind Brandwerk. His press presence is fairly light, and a keen focus on his sound the most critical part of his work: groovy, immersive and playful. Fun through and through, with tones and charging rhythms which are designed for dancing the night away. Enjoy his three hours vinyl mix for Bassiani Podcast 270 is pure, movement-geared music recorded live on the Horoom floor.

Batumi-born, Berlin-based DJ/Producer Nicole has been instrumental in the evolution of Tbilisi’s role as axis for music and politics. Her earliest ventures in sonic creation saw her attend music school as a child and drum in a band, followed by a pivot into electronic music as half of teenage duo Body Thrills. It was 2018 that she truly emerged solo as a talent to watch on the Georgian scene, with a Boiler Room performance at Bassiani to celebrate its reopening following civilian protests against the government’s shutdown of cultural spaces. And with the threat of authoritarian ideology looming once more, her kind of energy is perhaps more important than ever. Nicole’s sound represents the best of what Georgia has to offer, a free and open enthusiasm for life where creativity reigns and anything is possible. Witty minimal with a generous measure of acid squelches and positive funk, these tunes are a mirror to the dancefloors she plays on. Her strength is in knowing her audience, which strings to pull and when, and that’s just as true of her other work, which now counts promotion duties at Tbilisi space Cafe Gallery and an EP on Marco Shuttle’s Eerie Records. This latest episode carries Tbilisi’s flame forward, a six-hour compilation that brings together her unique perspective as native to the city’s struggle, and her disparate musical references. Bassiani Podcast 275 is a knockout set from a top-notch local talent.

This leading light from the Berlin scene is up next with 85 minutes of feel good tunes guaranteed to get you moving. Partok’s rise as go-to DJ for clubs like De School, Blitz, Basement and Panorama Bar is really no surprise. The recipe? Bridging genres and histories from Detroit to early UK rave, and constantly correlating those with more recent developments in music, and always through a queer lens. These deckside stints have a soft galvanising power, chugging rhythms with social change front and centre, grassroots house that spurs dancefloor denizens to action with selections that prioritise the work of fellow queer artists. Along with Roi Perez and David Elimelech, Partok's also at the reins of transnational party series Laundrette, a forum for endurance-testing B3B sets. And the fun doesn’t stop there, his past forays into production as 1/3 of Partok Matushka Apfelberg on Kompakt have set the bar even higher, fleshing out a vision for sound that flips the script at every turn. For Bassiani Podcast 279, this Berlin selector brings a singular magic, anthemic grooves and butter-smooth transitions, this is highly combustible house from a one-of-a-kind talent, an exclusive mix recorded at the K41 garden in Kyiv for Bassiani.

We are delighted to welcome none other than Q-BRA (@qbra) to our DETECT mix series.
They have recorded an exclusive one hour mix for us, available to listen to now on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Music, just like any of culture’s facets, has a key thing at its heart: storytelling. Whether they come in the form of a song, a book, a speech, a dance or an opera, the greatest stories have long transcended languages and borders. They impart information, excite our imagination and spur on our creative thoughts. They challenge the status quo as well as ourselves.

Which is why for an artist like Q-BRA, curation is of the utmost importance; every track from the XSM Records co-founder is a necessary character, all playing a particular role in the effortlessly multi-layered narrative. 

The 90s are revisited in this delightful one hour mix from Q-BRA, with old-school Chicago house threading together more contemporary acid, electro and house. It’s this genre-fluid approach that has become Q-BRA’s trademark; for the moment a dance-floor’s storyline begins to wane, so does its audience’s attention and lasting power. And knowing how and when to change before this happens is the mark of a true storyteller. Short storylines connect their four different groups of genres, all wound together with gradual transitions and several surprises along the way. 

After nearly-25 years of performing throughout Istanbul's queer underground, they have deservedly become one of the most recognisable activists in the city. More recently they made the move to London, following it up with performances in the Barbican as well as appearing as a panellist on FOLD Talks.
