this is it…nothing coming closer than this🥺

Schön verschoben am toben♥️

Taking over the show this week, elusive German producer and Vault Sessions / BCCO resident DJ Phil Berg pulls out the big guns and vibes-avalanching blends for what can be called a proper feast in sound. Drum-fuelled tribal grooves, rugged early house manoeuvres, possessed machine funk, Berg runs the hoodoo down like a thrill-deprived stuntman, eager to pack the world’s whole field of energies in just two hours of music. The result is no short of breath-taking, sharp as a knife and well, exhaustingly gratifying.

Another live recording from the Reclaim Your City X Token night in early November and this one‘s a banger. Marcal is the budding Brazilian star act you may have heard of, commanding recognition post pandemic with his highly addictive loops. That’s certainly true in the case of Radio Slave, who played one of the former’s tracks on his show for Rinse FM and sought out the talent responsible. A serendipitous (online) meeting that blossomed into a deeper connection and had Marcal signed to Rekids, Enemy Records and Token. And here they are a little down the line and all the luckier for it. Marcal’s focus is on intelligent and minimal builds, those that work by way of rhythmic complexity and highly developed textures, brainy techno with a pinch of mischief. Bassiani Podcast 192 is a prime example of that formula in action, a two hour dose of the finest cuts and hardest basslines recorded live on the Bassiani floor.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Marcal / Podcast #192

Ribé, the alias of Alberto Pascual, is invited for our 182th podcast. He started his musical journey in 1998 at the age of 14 when he started creating his first mixes using tape decks. A first big breakthrough happened when he first published his EP on Richie Hawtin's label Plus 8, which brought momentum to his career. His musical project took a new turn when he started exploring modular synthesis, releasing music on PoleGroup, and later, on Klockworks and Axis. Now Ribé often plays live sets using his modular synths.
This podcast is a mix of uncompromising sounds, ranging from industrial to more hypnotic textures over thick rolling basslines.


Tune in for #182

Vault Sessions #182 - Ribé

We came back to Ghent last December with a techno-heavy line up featuring Pegassi, DINA, Helena Lauwaert, Bad Boombox & Malugi.

Pegassi | Boiler Room: Ghent

This next one’s a very special B2B set from two of techno’s freshest talents. German/Dutch pairing Phil Berg and Lobster have emerged from their respective habitats masters of their art. From raves in both their homelands to releases on SK-eleven, HAYES, Room Trax and positivesource, as well as a shared residency for Vault Sessions that’s brought them here for Bassiani Podcast 210, the duo posit a deep and driving compound of high-voltage rhythms in their day-to-day praxis. Slamming techno that has claimed a rightful space among the greatest names of their generation. Layer by layer, an instinctive formulation of heaving basslines and delicate hi-hats balanced with utmost precision. It’s a seamless communion of complementary worldviews in respect to sound, a rich tapestry of ever morphing loops. It’s focus on gradual build, a slowly evolving chimera in lieu of schmaltzy instant gratification. This latest edition clocks in at three hours, a redacted version of their 12 hour set for the Vault Sessions night at Bassiani back in early February. Immersive and rolling, monolith techno that’s sure to set a higher bar for those who follow.
