BASEMENT is proud to announce Lydo as one of our first residents. They are one of the club's most regular bookings, and with good reason. Lydo's poise, focus and versatility have cemented their position as one of the most exciting talents in NY today. They evocatively describe their sound as “a minimal trip through an underwater forest. It can be sharp and it can be soft.” They're kicking off the residency with a mix of driving, determined techno.

Newa is now one of BASEMENT’s first residents. Her BASEMENT mix kicks the series off with a bang. Her set exemplifies techno at its rushing, futuristic best. Churning with a fleet-footed defiance, these 65 minutes show her firing on all cylinders. Describing the club, she says: “The first time I entered it, it felt like home. I try to choose very special tracks to play in BASEMENT, because there are not many clubs where I feel at home. The intimacy of BASEMENT is unique.”

STUDIO is proud to announce Massimiliano Pagliara as its first resident. The Italian artist's lithe, soaring sonics fuse lush, cosmic house with driving 4x4 cross pollinations, all sealed with a throbbing undercurrent. A set from Pagliara transports you to the heavens; his ear for truly beautiful melodies plays against wiggly acid, interwoven diva vocals and naughty tribal rhythms. This mix sees him in peak form. Not a moment is wasted, and Pagliara dives headfirst into crystalline waters of pure joy.

NDRX dives in the deep end for BASEMENT 007. The Bassiani resident rips through steely, snarling techno as only he can. NDRX has become a major figure in the electronic music scene on the strength of his precision-tooled sound, which seethes with raw physical power and a lithe, lean strength. For BASEMENT 007, he does not disappoint; the mix is a masterclass in modern techno.

For BASEMENT 008, we've turned things over to Holden Federico.   A favorite of the NY underground, Federico holds a reputation both for his comprehensive knowledge of techno's most obscure corners and for his capacity to channel his sprawling collection into DJ sets of exceptional poise and vibrancy. Raised in Pennsylvania, an early fascination with software production led him from live music into an obsession with track building and the limitless possibilities of electronic music. In 2020, he launched @90stechno.redux, an online platform that catalogues some of the finest, and often nearly-unheard, examples of the genre's golden age. Drawing heavily on the Detroit-Berlin axis, Federico exemplifies the focus and discernment of a purist, engaging with techno both as a true art form and as a near-spiritual discipline.

Freddy K, BASEMENT’s latest resident, takes over for BASEMENT 009. The KEY Vinyl label boss has been responsible for more than a few outstanding nights at the club, including our first-ever all-night-long set. If you know his name, you know his reputation: Freddy K is a bonafide underground hero, with a devotion to true-school techno that can legitimately  be called “uncompromising.” In this mix, he opens up a portal into another world, taking us deep into the heart of the spacious, psychedelic sound that is his calling card.

BASEMENT introduces BASEMENT Archives, a new podcast series highlighting standout sets recorded live in the club. 

First up is the impromptu b2b2b2b from Fadi Mohem, Kancheli, NDRX and Philippa Pacho that closed out last April’s Bassiani takeover. If you were there, you know how special this night was. Ten minutes before we planned to wrap the night, it was decided that the music simply could not stop. The four artists took over the booth in BASEMENT, and what resulted was 3 hours of euphoric techno that sent everyone out on an incredible high. These are moments that can’t be planned, curated or recreated. When they happen, you pray the recorder is on and running. Thank god it was.

For the second edition of BASEMENT’s Archives series, we’re sharing this outstanding recording of Nebbieri from the venue’s 6th anniversary party on April 26th, 2025.

Nebbieri is a resident of Bassiani - a club with close ties to BASEMENT - and as such has always shared a special connection with the room. Playing alongside MARRØN and LYDO, Nebbieri delivered a proper journey set. At times, she opens up a portal to spacious, soaring techno, elsewhere submerging the mix in pure filth. The anniversary parties are always standouts, and Nebbieri took the room over the top with this one.
