[Tribalism] Quelza (full recording) @ essaim, Paris / 27dec2024

Some months ago we had a pretty good time dancing to a pretty good live set, played by Berlin based artist Ben Reymann (@ben-reymann) at a party hosted by our friends from Lowpass (@lowpass-289568637). Hence we are delighted to release the recording as our 29th podcast. Trippy modular sounds and atmospheric vocals flowing over deep kicks and crisp percussions is what you’re getting served in this extended 1,5 hours live set. Thank you Ben!

UNTAPE029 – Ben Reymann live

Everything vibrates 
Bees detect nectar from flowers by floral sonication
Elephants detect seismic waves with the skin of their feet and trunk
Our conscious awareness of these vibrations is generally more limited than those of animals.
Humans may be more likely to be sensitive to vibrations if one of their senses fails.
And so - deep, dark, yet rounded bass vibrations glue us together 
Forcing us to form shapes and swim along with the current.
This may leave behind some restlessness or feelings of misunderstanding 
Each in their own way finds a way to embrace discovery
Guiding into being every possible form
Inharmonious vibrations - yet in its own form  
Adding itself to the constant and stable lowliness of the kick 
That’s where the beauty forms itself 

The lotus - symbolic for happiness - is born in muddy water 
The muddy water - symbolic for state of suffering - functions as the skin of the Lotus 
Harmoniousness is created by the skin of duality 
Sequences with opposite extremes - which we depend on
The skin of darkness enables us to experience brightness 
To dwell in sorrow for a long time - where everything seems aimless 
Starting the process of discovery teaches us translating hidden pathways
Which will never be unlocked unless the synergy between the two sides is understood
Too much light can burn our sight,  
Too much heat can turn us to ash,  
Too much love can suffocate us through its grip.  
We need the darkness to dream,  
the cold to keep us whole,  
and the quiet to let us breathe.

From Europe’s southern tip in the Gibraltar-facing port city of Algeciras comes ORBE, the Spanish techno enthusiast whose potent beats have hammered out a pedigree path both as DJ and producer. Prevailing winds carried Fernando Sanz first to Seville to study sound engineering, later to Madrid where the fertile scene allowed him to build a community of music-minded friends that have put that city squarely on the map. Under these conditions, his work (what he terms a means of ‘contacting the future, the avant-garde’) has developed into something much deeper and more sophisticated. His love of artists like Brian Eno and Boards of Canada, and roots in breakbeat and drum and bass have informed a style that’s allowed him to take up the mantle as one of Spain’s most interesting talents. Under his self-titled record label (est. 2014) come his signature killer tunes, and in his work with names like Eduardo de la Calle and labels like Token, Hivern Discs, Axis and Mote Evolver a pole position at the forefront of modern techno. Fresh off his set on the Bassiani floor (14th March) comes this next Bassiani mix. Tensile rhythms that lurch ahead with supernatural power, an involute web of intelligent sounds that attest to his skill as selector. Bassiani Podcast 254 is an hour-long mash up of elfin beats, a vibrating hymn to the sounds of tomorrow, Orbe at the top of his game.

Psyk is a key player in Spanish techno, an acclaimed talent with firm emphasis on deep, repetitive loops. He has become synonymous with high-quality, trippy and smart as a tack rhythms. For the last two decades since he started out on Madrid’s clandestine rave beat, he’s developed and advanced a sound to near perfection: raw and technically agile, pelagic echoes from the abyss that have shifted with their changing times. 2011 saw him launch the widely renowned Non Series, a platform releasing the work of similar vein artists like DJ Nobu, Architectural, Neel, Nastia Reigel, Tauceti, Blawan, Luigi Tozzi, Function and Rrose, generating buzz and ardent following. His own releases on labels like Mote Evolver, Semantica and Tresor, intermittent forays on his own label under the alias Maan, as well as his co-project Second Skin (est. 2022) alongside fellow Madrileño Oscar Mulero have been slowly gaining traction in a contemporary music landscape replete with talent. Though the rate of productions is decelerating his touring schedule marches forward at full tilt, adding recent Bassiani dates to those at a list of must-play venues like Fabric, Berghain, Fuse, Tresor and Amsterdam’s shuttered DeSchool. His expert drones and algorithmic beat patterns are in a process of continuing evolution and whatever comes next is sure to be even better than his already outstanding catalogue of work. Bassiani Podcast 258 is an 80-minute expedition into a murky world of Psyk’s design, sweeping and purist techno from this heavyweight selector.

Bulgarian-born, Oslo-based talent Kameliia’s sound leaves little room for misunderstanding. It’s ghostly, powerful and mesmerising stuff that leans on a wealth of inspiration from peers and the likes of Burial’s shadowy UK dubstep. Having studied music for four years, the production of sounds comes naturally, and on the dancefloor she’s given the space to test those personal and unreleased experiments in situ; that feedback is part of the process. Her sets too follow a formula, and a narrative thread that builds from more sparsely populated compositions to maximal, high-intensity techno, a vertical trip of the purest calibre. The threatening and world-shaking sounds she’s come to be known for have coalesced into a number of well-received productions, and made her a solid collaborator for names such as Amotik, Rødhåd and Setaoc Mass; it would be hard to imagine better company for the work she’s doing. Her cavernous and highly spiritual sound is soaked in gritty textures and characterized by a generous dosing of formidable bass, enough to get blood-flowing and her calendar packed with names like Berghain, Fold, Fuse and essaim. For Bassiani Podcast 265 Kameliia delivers a masterclass in atmosphere building, a skittish and salient addition to the Podcast series, you might want to buckle up.
