We continue our journey of uncovering gems. Next up on the mag is Lyo aka Lyonel De Vos. Mostly associated with the NUT Records shop, which he set up with good friend Tunello, he’s a record dealer appreciated by DJs big and small, near and far. Belgian blooded, global kid, based in Barcelona. Oh and did we mention his record collection?!

Taking influences from his past - in Belgium with "electronic disco, proto house and all sorts of weird hybrid stuff", the minimal scene in Barcelona and his continued digging journey up to this point - Lyo delivers his personal take. 

"I've always been more into moods rather than styles", and for this podcast, he's got us in a mood alright: Diving into the unknown with menacing retro synths, funky rhythms, groovy basslines, emotional melodies and tasteful vocals, he warms up the stratosphere with the deep and industrial, leading towards a dancefloor in ecstasy, closing in style with a dub mix of Belgian synth-pop disco track "Love Sweet Love".

GOLDEN -豪流伝- by GOLDENTIME Genki Tanaka (Live at WOMB 2023 Nov)

Not so long ago in 2017, the first release on Michiel Claus’ and Ailsa Cavers’ Basic Moves saw the light of day and especially the shine of night. Produced by founding father Walrus, BM01 set the tone for a record label that focuses on releasing hidden archives from the 90s, whilst combining them with modern club music from the here and now. By highlighting the musical heritage of the Belgian electronic music scene, the label illustrates the continuity between past and present, history and shaping identities of 21st-century artists, undeniably building on the strong foundations of their forerunners. 
 
Seven years and nineteen releases later, Basic Moves is rounding off the series with BM20, a final double 12’’ by one of the major figures from the Belgian underground: Circadian Rhythms also known as Dj Deg. After many years of collecting, deejaying and producing music, his musical spectrum ranges from synth, library and wave, to jazz, funk and disco, from house to techno. His journey started in clubs like Bocaccio (1988 - 1993), and La Gaité (1979 –1989), where young Deg came across deejay’s like Olivier Pieters or Eric Beysens who made him choose the path of becoming a devoted disc jockey himself. 
 
BM20 is a sonic witness of Deg’s first musical encounters with his machines, revealing a withdrawn selection of six bedroom patchwork tracks produced between the years of ‘93 & ’99, a time without the internet or user manuals to help you solve the riddles of technology. Though only at the very beginning of his creative process, Deg’s unique personality is nevertheless already clearly identifiable: blending techno with jazz, where the sharp edges of 16-step drum-sequences are smudged and bent in different directions. 
  
In the lower countries, the second half of the 90s was a period of fast & funky, happy Detroit, 140 BPM techno. Whenever Deg was not oscillating between record shops or gigs and had a moment on his own, mostly during morning hours after the club, he would spend his leftover energy in the studio. Either by himself or with his loyal ally Mike DMA, he would benefit from these moments to slow down and give space to a different, introverted sound – processing moods, feelings and thoughts. This record therefore gathers only a few of many (unrecorded) one-shot live sessions which were never intended to be shared – and only existed for the love of music and its power to take you beyond all things known.   
 
Thank you Deg for sharing your music and giving us a glimpse of your universe. Without your productions, your memorable warm-ups and closing sets – many of us would not be where we are now, and Basic Moves might never have been founded. 
As a last note to a closing song, BM20 is about being fully committed to the music and the club, a medium and place of fruitful settings for encounters, creativity and growth. Where dreams and ideas have a chance to exist, being almost ready and thought out to shape future times to come -  and many party nights.

[ANA002] Luca - Closer

Buy: https://anacalyptorecords.bandcamp.com/album/closer

“Beautiful, elongated, shimmering, Detroit style trancers for the morning after the night before.” Words that accompanied the 1998 release of Closer by Luca; the first and last appearance of this unsung talent. More than twenty-five years later, this four tracker of energising and immersive Techno has been brought back to life by Anacalypto Records.

Following the success of The Hidden Beauty Of Dutch House '94-'98, the Berlin-based imprint has dug deep into the archives of the legendary Orlando Voorn’s ephemeral Slamdunk Records. Across this lovingly remastered EP are works of floating choral lines, cascading chords and textured drum patterns. This quartet harks back to the heyday of electronic music, a time where thought-provoking pieces blended with the pulse of the floor. Music that still sounds far beyond its time, almost three decades on. The past carrying a powerful message to the present.

No Pants Paradise by Pâlm w/ Lucas Bicudo

Introducing @charlietennger ! An artist who has been consistently and quietly working away in the studio, creating some seriously impressive tracks that have become staples in our sets over the past few months.

Originating from the UK and now based in Melbourne, Charlie Tennger draws inspiration from 90’s rave culture. His work showcases nostalgic manifestations through sound.

Following his last EP, Orifice Dubs, Tennger continues to evolve with his unique take on Progressive House.

With a growing presence in the electronic scene, Tennger’s productions have started to make waves. His style is influenced by Acid, Breakbeat, Trance, and Tech House, yet remains unrestricted.
