For our 49nd podcast we invited Leuven party collective @nachtinstelplaats. Nacht throws biweekly parties in our student capital. From time to time they experiment with daytime events, yoga sessions,... The main focus is to offer a platform for visitors and artists to express themselves, to exhibit, and to share experiences with one another. Musicwise and artwise.

Residents take care of opening and closing slots at club nights in Stelplaats. @hervez is the club's weapon of choice to record their podcast.

Dr Banana is a name that commands a lot of respect in certain corners of the dance music world. The man has his Ph.D in record digging—not literally, mind you, but play along—and key to his success is the sense of fun, joy and ecstasy he brings to his DJing. UK garage historian? Sure. Blinding DJ? Definitely. He likes to play records you've never heard before, records that not only make you dance but might remind you of some of your favourite, formative records of yore.

The UK artist started out with a fashion line and some records and ended up an influential label boss, collector and DJ. He made his name with skippy, retro UK garage—sometimes from new producers and sometimes unearthed from the archives—and nicely coincided with the genre's explosion in popularity. Since then, he's highlighted everything from old-school German garage to new-school producers like K-LONE. His DJ sets have only become more adventurous and, crucially, even more bumping. Jungle, R&B, tech house, you name it. His RA Podcast zeroes in on a vintage-sounding, rollicking kind of house music, full of seismic disco basslines and quirky vocal samples. It's as celebratory as it is mysterious.

Once, Dr Banana was a not so well-kept secret for the heads—the kids in Berlin and London who were starting to realize the similarities between UK garage, minimal and tech house. Now, he's for everyone, and starting to earn the wider recognition he deserves.

Alex Picone is a man who's seen many trends come and go and is now existing in a space outside of them; without a doubt occupying a unique spot in the dance music landscape. 

Primarily known these days as one of the co-founders of Seekers and Small Black Dots, with an extensive discography behind him and having put his hand to numerous other projects, there's a maturity to both his production and DJing that's rarely seen in tandem.

This propulsive, two-hour mix blurs the lines between the two; laden with Alex's own productions, the singularity of his artistic vision and depth of his record bag is on full display.

Bizarre Trax co-founders Felon5 step up to the pod with this sprawling mix; taking in a number of genres and tempos but always with an emphasis on groove.

A trio of accomplished DJs and producers in their own right - with releases on LowMoneyMusicLove, LuckIsOn and of course their own Bizarre Trax imprint - there's an undoubted synergy between the three of them on display throughout this two-hour trip.

Co-founder of French trio 192gmbh, Reusbi is an equal part driving force and musical influence that takes his cues from all corners of the sonic sphere. Possessing a penchant for the lush as much as the noisy, his tastes are impossibly hard to pin down, but this is the beauty in his style. With curve balls waiting at every turn, there is really no guessing which direction is next on the agenda, but having the skills to take you there is an entirely different proposition. This is something that Reusbi and his two cohorts have in spades. Word is also getting out, as, like our party at Hoppetosse a few weeks back many more are clamouring for a slice of what he has in his record bag.

Being able to mix the smooth with the wonky is a skill that few can harness as deftly as Reusbi can. His selections are well hidden, his vibe eclectic but not for the sake of being so, and his transitions are smooth like butter. As well as nu school gems the Frenchman is also not afraid to offer a timely reminder of cross over nuggets such as Claude Von Stroke’s eerily satisfying “Who’s Afraid Of Detroit”. After all, Djing is all about context and his tracks segue so well together partly down to the fine curation of his music. This is an ethos that shines out of his mix for our InSession series that will draw fans and future fans back to this mix again and again.

"I'm rarely any good at describing mixes beyond a cursory 'these are some tracks that I'm feeling at the moment'. I just go through all my soundcloud/bandcamp favs, download a bunch of random bits and piece them together in a way that makes sense to my silly little brain."

In light of his 4 track, trance-euphoric EP released at the beginning of this year on @goddezztemple, we’re joined by Bristol rising star @Remotif with an hour long mix that dives into his illustrious and wonderful sonic universe/ an illustrious and wonderful tapestry of sound.

Hangin’ on the streets of the Brussels Capital Region and collecting some wonderfully weird records along the way. Man of many genres. Often seen scavenging for music, eyes always on the prize. Occasional shrimp seller at Crevette Records. Part of a bunch of wierdos operating under Kontakt Group, releasing tapes & records and hosting a radio show on Kiosk Radio.

The beloved DJ unpacks his most influential records in our flagship live series, Playing Favourites, recorded at Dekmantel in August.

Palms Trax, the beloved British DJ and producer considered a "veteran" of the scene at only 33 years old, hit it big with a career breakout back in 2015. Since then, he's become known for his long-running radio show and record label, Cooking With Palms Trax, where he releases new music, reissues and more. His style is soulful, gravitating towards low-BPM house, disco, zouk and everything in between.

Recorded at Dekmantel in August, this RA Exchange is the latest edition of our flagship live series, Playing Favourites, where we invite artists to curate and dissect some of the records that shaped their approach to music. Palms Trax speaks to RA editor Gabriel Szatan about the song that acted as a gateway to his musical education; the track that turned him onto the idea of making music; and the band that he considers to be the "coolest of all time," as well as forthcoming music on his own label.

What unites these releases, Palms Trax says, is a powerful, ageless and immediately accessible sensibility. They aren't about technical mastery but about feeling. As music-making has become easier with the advent of perfectly engineered online samples, there's more and more appeal in music with humanity and character. Listen to the episode in full.

House Mix | YAMI RECORDS INVITES D-FAULT (012)

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.

So cool Kafim provided the tracklist of the whole mix !!!!

The Basic Moves Of … KAFIM (live at Gay Haze/Cocktail D'amore/Horst Club 2024)

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.

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 !

Dear Undersounders,

We welcome to our podcast series another upcoming talent, Mr. Junki Inoue! Hailing from Japan and relocated in London, Junki is  an excellent selector, and a respected figure in the London Underground scene. He joined the well known ToiToi booking agency last year. This artist's qualities could be summarised in great taste in music, surgical precision in mixing, and a very humble and  positive attitude with the people he comes across in his path, all characteristics we deeply seek after when looking for new talents :)

Enjoy Listening! x
