Hell of a track that one! Anyone has any idea who is the artist?

The Underworld (Original Mix)

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.

Dasha Rush b2b Jakojako at Draaimolen Festival 2024

A much (duly) rated exponent of the Dutch techno sound within and well beyond its borders, Eerste Communie co-founder and resident MARRØN clocks in with a vibrant two-hour trip into his constantly minimal, yet untiringly expansive imaginarium. Through a chiselled selection of cuts both surgical and eerie - combining the haunting nature of deep, texturally lavish dubs with that of clinically arranged dance floor-destroyers, he has us swaying in a state of spooky stasis, zoning out further and further into trance-like abandon as the groove etches deeper. Boasting a signature both paced-up and uncompromisingly stripped down to its atomic nucleus, MARRØN serves up a masterly crafted piece of soul-searching engineering.

DJ & producer @nymed is a prominent figure in the Parisian Techno scene, known for his exponential growth and unique sound. Originating from the seaside town of Dunkirk in Northern France, his early exposure to electronic music was heavily influenced by the vibrant Belgian and Dutch club scenes. Nymed initiated "Conceptual Violence," a series of parties held in bunkers along the Flemish Coast, repurposing historical sites into venues for celebration and unity.

Before the pandemic in 2020, Nymed moved to Paris, where he further developed his music production and DJing skills, quickly becoming a key player in the scene. In 2021, he launched "Toyz," a new event concept aimed at creating safe, inclusive party spaces for the sexually liberated queer community. 

After a well received first EP on New York’s P.Leone E-Missions recordings label, Nymed came back this year with several releases on Philoxenia, Pornceptual and …Is Serving in 2024.

Nymed's musical style is a tribute to 90's techno, distinguished by a straightforward approach to mixing that differentiates him from his contemporaries. His work is celebrated for its hypnotic, sensual qualities, incorporating trippy melodies and sexually charged rhythms.

ASW Premiere: Soul Saver - Choques De Groove [BR01]

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.
