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)

Nicely nestled amongst Sammy Dee, Moopie & Magda Bytnerowicz, I was asked to replace Grandmaster Zip (Perlon) for the party hosted by Lifeworld & Spincycle. I warmed up for Sammy Dee, and this is what that sounded like.

A few words from Evita [@la_dolc_evita] about her mix...
 
This mix unfolds like a lucid dream on the verge of breaking—familiar, yet forever just out of reach.  Melodies drift through vast, empty rooms; basslines rise like fog from the ground, slow and enveloping.  It’s the sound of falling in love with a moment you know won’t last, and dancing with its ghost long after it’s gone.

Get comfortable and breathe deeply, as sound researcher e/tape joins us this week on the mix series. Known for his expansive and cinematic podcast output over the past 15-years, his ambient explorations are masterclasses delivered in an unmistakably personal fashion.

A real pleasure to host something outside of the norm this week ahead of e/tape’s Dimensions debut this summer.

Abyssal Analysis w. Luisa [28.06.25]

"Escape Route" locks in with precision-engineered neurofunk pressure — metallic reese bass design layered with granular distortion, surgical drum programming, and evolving atmospheres cut from cinematic tension. Anchored by a Ripley sample, it channels raw sci-fi dread into a rolling, high-energy soundscape designed for heads who live in the sub frequencies. Pure forward-motion, no compromise.
