The Basic Moves Of ... (mixes by friends)

Episode Four of the new mixtape series: The Basic Moves Of…

We welcome Penelope for our fourth podcast. Originally from Paris but now living on the sunny coast just south of Lisbon, Penelope recently made her production debut on Tresydos records. Here she shares with us one hour of her personal soundworld, floating between tech-y disco-flavoured house and party electro in a signature clubby style. Spring is coming and the dancefloor waits in expectation – soon, we hope, we’ll be back together. Enjoy everyone! And thank you Pene for this hour of music <3

Up for the 11th edition of our mix series is a long time friend of the label, Jooice resident and one half of the wicked Outransa, it’s London’s adopted son Mr Nicky Macha. A deep digger through and through, always with a big smile on his face and his hands in the air behind the booth, that feeling is perfectly reflected in this mix. His effortless style and top quality storytelling shining through once again, thank you mr Macha!

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!

The Basic Moves Of … GURL

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 !

For the fourth installment of Plasticity Transmissions, we are thrilled to present London-based producer, selector and curator of Maazn records, Terraflow. 

Captured from his set for Squares at the Glove that Fits in Hackney, this live recording encapsulates all  that defines the London underground circuit.

A staple across London's dancefloors for several years,   Terraflow  has carved a name a name for himself  through his productions and releases on labels such as The Comfort and Liquid Memory Records.


Having graced the decks at venues such as Lion and Lamb and BMST in Toronto, this set captures his dynamic and immersive sounds, drawing from his usual sonic palette of synth pop, trance, electro and acid.

The Basic Moves Of … OSCAR FAIVRE (live at Hoppetosse/The Joint 2025)

The next episode of our mix series is from Oscar Faivre, recorded at the legendary Hoppetosse boat in Berlin during The Joint party back in May 2025. Oscar opened with a long deejay set, setting the vibe for the night. This French-but-now-Berlin-based record lover masters the craftsmanship of a warm-up set like no other. In a world where dance music becomes faster and instantly flashy, Oscar takes the opposite direction, and during that night he took us on a journey into deep, honest house music of all kinds, not shy to play grooves with colours and richly-arranged tracks. 
Oscar is an architect by day; you can hear this in his carefully curated track selection and overall flow of the recording. Teamed up with his friend Eltous, he runs Tunnel, the record label and event. With only two records out, they have defined a modern deep house sound rooted in authenticity and history. Good things take time, and Oscar is in no rush. Let’s take time together and enjoy the ride.
