BSS Radio Episode 072 With Melina Serser

SPELLCAST # 11  Inner Lakes

Flashback to 1999 and a small, east-Belgian city called Tienen where a teenager named Davy Vandegaer is cruising on his skate ramp in the back of his garden. He’s getting some energy out before heading to “The Sphere” later that night, a bar where he can listen to a new, otherworldly music called ‘progressive’ which was his first initiation to techno music.


Hooked on techno, Davy became a regular (after)clubber at Factory, The Groove, Cherry Moon, Extreme and a few years later started his own party concept with his brother Ken and 2 friends Down Under, holding residencies at Club Silo in Leuven from 2008 to 2011 and Fuse, Brussels from 2011 to 2015. 

The sound of Down Under was an eye-opener for me as a young clubber. It was the first time I heard sophisticated, deep, stretched-out minimal house and techno. Davy was the person who invited Nicolas Lutz to Belgium for the first time, and that set changed mine and many others’ musical lives forever. Another WOW moment in little Walrus’ club-life-history related to Davy: I remember going up to the tiny dj booth of Fuse’s motion room, during the early morning hours, while everyone was flying, and asking one of the brothers playing (Ken & Davy) “what’s that spaced out minimal techno tune?” They replied: “Oh it’s a Terrence Dixon release!”

Davy and Ken moved to London and started several warehouse parties, and Davy soon became the resident of the infamous Cartulis parties. He then settled down in Berlin to start his very own deep dedicated techno project called Futurepast. 

Davy proposed a great idea to me a couple of months back to record a mix dedicated to his early clubbing days and inspired by that “dance-café” The Sphere. 

Davy is a great example of an artist who is developing his own path by slowly transforming himself but staying true to his techno roots, and I’m very grateful we all can have a listen to what these roots are.

This week, we’re happy to share XDB's stunning set from Dimensions ’23. Recorded live from Freerotation’s takeover of the Cosmos last summer, which set the stage perfectly for Steevio's live set afterwards.

Deep, refined and classy selections throughout, something we've come to expect and love about Kosta’s sets.

Max Tournay aka https://soundcloud.com/kafim is an established name in the Brussels underground community. He started deejaying techno music as a resident of the infamous Deep In House collective, who later founded C12 club where he was also a resident for several years. 

Max and I used to play regularly together around 2014/2015 as a deep techno dj duo and shared a couple of nice moments behind the booth. Yet, our paths went separate ways. Max’s interest floated away from club music, pulled towards a more wave-y, slowmo, rock-oriented spectrum. He has been a long-time host on Lyl radio, presenting a show called Basses Besognes focussing on psychedelic rock, garage, shoegaze & other guitar sounds. He also co-runs the (party) collective Curly Teeth, a platform for slowed-down forms of left-field club music.

Flash forward to a couple of months ago. Kafim played a long afternoon set at Horst Club’s intimate “Garage” room during the Gayhaze & Cocktail D’amore 2-day take over. On the dance floor, I was completely blown away by the uniqueness of Kafim’s music selection and super-skilled mixing. The energy that day was very special and emotional for me and the question of asking Max to share his mix after that day/night spent together was very logical. Here is the result of an artist rediscovering himself constantly but always counting on the technical skills of his early techno days. 

Another fact: Max came up with the name Basic Moves when Ailsa and I started the project 8 years ago. I’m so happy that our paths have crossed again, and I can give a platform to this live recording.

Jane Fitz took the stage twice with a B2B set this at rural 2024, and she appeared on the final day with her musical partner Jade Seatle, who co-hosts the DIY party “Night Moves” in their home, London. The final day started out rainy, but ended up with sunny skies. This set was deeply connected with such a dramatic ending. Enjoy this euphoric collection of left-field tech house gems.

2024年は、二度にわたるB2Bセットでの登壇となったJane Fitzが、最終日のクロージングを共にしたのは、彼女の本拠地であるロンドンで共にDIYパーティ〈NIGHT MOVES〉を主催する相方のJade Seatleでした。雨模様で幕を開け、最後には陽光差し込む晴天にまで辿りついたドラマチックな終幕と深く結びついた展開。多幸感溢れる珠玉のレフトフィールド・テックハウスコレクションを堪能ください。

Jill Krecké aka GURL (https://soundcloud.com/j1ll) is a Luxembourg-born, Brussels-based artist & archivist. We met more than a decade ago on the dancefloor of Fuse Club, Brussels. Ever since, we’ve stayed close music/clubbing friends and swum through different moments in our lives, forever positively connected and supportive. 

Properly balanced and in the pipeline for some years (!!!) now, Gurl’s Basic Moves podcast demonstrates her love for detroity electro, wonky breakbeats and dusty techno. Her passion and skills for mixing and digging up this specific sound of dance music have forged her a steady presence in the electronic music scene of Brussels. Since she started performing as a deejay at the age of 22, she’s became part of various projects (Brüxsel Jardin, C12, Planet), not only as an artist but also as a promoter and safe spacer. 

As a number one supporter and participant of our Beautiful Freaks party, it was a logical choice to ask Jill to join the core team. Multitasking 3-dimensional friends forever. Enjoy the energies & roll out the beats. Gurl in the mix!

Transmitting from one of Belgium’s most promising electronic dance spaces, the Garage at Horst club. It’s the most intimate room of the club. Ko-designed, ko-invented and ko(be)-built by the deejay behind this live recorded Basic Moves mix: Kuba’97 ! 

Kobe is part of the early generation of Horst alumni. From his early 20ies he has been involved in this world leading and ultra professional hybrid architecture, art, culture and (club) music festival. They are organising a yearly festival in May and a burgeoning club space that operates throughout the rest of the year on the Asiat site just outside of Brussels. Back in 2018 Kobe started together with a crew of music heads and dreamers a nightlife collective called nacht which operated from the socio-cultural spot Stelplaats in Louvain. This being said Kobe is also the head of production at our Beautiful Freaks parties, a fantastic cook, creative DIY handy person, cider maker, pizza master & great human to have around anytime of the day or night. 

Now let’s put some attention to what Kobe loves the most … records! He has been working hard, digging through the fruitful orchard that is dance music (and beyond), to make his own special brew. This live recording is a perfect reflection of what he loves and has discovered over the last couple of years. We hear shreds of deep techno, spaced out minimal, 80s inspired body music workouts, psychedelic oddities, proggy weird b-sides…and more; definitely not the easiest spread to put together. In Kobe’s hands these three and a half hours are a cruizin’ ride, produced in the dj booth he has built and danced-to by the community Brussels has been (re)building over the last decade … with Kuba’97 unquestionably at the heart of it.

Take it slow while the temps are rising 🌞🌡️

We could have met @aimzzzzzz in Berlin where she’s been living for 10 years-ish. We could have met her in the north of England where she was born and breaded as well. But no, we met her online, and although our parents warned us against it, we developed a virtual crush on her 💻💘. 

Here, she offers a trippy hour of slow beats. Perfect for a psychedelic meditation 🧘🏻🫧 

We had no doubts, but we’re happy to show the scepticals that the internet is not only a sea of catfish. We can’t wait for you to meet her on our soundcloud ☁️

The Basic Moves Of … islas

Attention music lovers ! This is an ultra ultra special mix, since it is the long-awaited islas Basic Moves podcast. Ailsa Cavers aka islas and I started and ran the record label and club nights together for the first four years. As time takes things and things take time (and life rolls on (and off) and on) our paths have brought us back to sharing friendship, culture, and music again :)

islas also Ailsa is a creative centipede roaming the fields of art, design, music, literature and so much more. Originally from Reading (UK) but relocated to Bordeaux (FR) in the early 2000s where she studied at Ecole Des Beaux Arts before landing in what is now her hometown, Brussels (BE). Together with a bunch of like-minded souls she started the electronic music collective Planet, ran a music pop-up called OP-a with her bff Dana Kuehr…overall islas is a busy, gifted artistic bee that never stings.

Sooo to the music: 2 years in the making, this mix is a story of carefully selected, funny and open-minded club music dug up in the garden of electro house, quirky tech house, Detroit techno, and millennium minimal. All with an islas twist and topped with an English, French and Belgian sauce. Praise the lovely, steezy Ailsa alias islas forever !

As a testament to the times, Telekom nights reinforces the decades old premise... THE DANCE FLOOR IS FOR DANCING... We are reminded of that when the robotic vocal in this trendsetting song reminds us to  "DISCONNECT YOUR PHONES".
