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

@jjonjjones 🇦🇺 

It's been impossible to escape the relentless stream of exceptionally good music that's been produced and released over on the other side of the globe, and Jon Jones is certainly not an exception. He is but another one of those amid a plethora of artists who have really caught our attention in recent times with that trademark land of Oz sound we have all become accustomed to.

Jon Jones has impressed us tremendously with his masterful taste and rapturous take on electronic music, with major aboriginal influences firmly etched into his sound. His release on Whitvoir Records was a huge stand out for us in 2020, and we seriously look forward to seeing what more he has to offer.

Kick back and tuck in to an hour of bliss, straight from the source.

Episode five of the mixtape series: The Basic Moves Of…

SKR aka Baptiste is from Namur, a city in Belgium where two rivers (called the Sambre and the Meuse) blend together. In the same way water flows in unison, SKR's mix brings together incredibly deep jungle and drum and bass into one beautiful cascade. We used to throw parties together back in the 2000s, so we are delighted that our paths crossed again after all this time. Baptiste is a true believer who's been digging deeply for more than 25 years. The bottomless archive of his radio shows and mixes dives into many styles, all mixed together deftly and purely. He's a modest underground cat, hiding between shadow and light, somewhere at the confluence of two rivers...

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 … KUBA'97 (live at Garage/Horst Club 2025)

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 !

DIVTEC – CLONE

In a future where identity is modular and mortality negotiable, Clone captures the moment before transition—the quiet recognition that your current body is obsolete. Pulsing with synthetic textures and fractured rhythms, the track mirrors the emotional dissonance of watching your replacement activate: familiar yet foreign, perfect yet hollow.

Glitchy basslines and surgically precise drops evoke the cold efficiency of biotech labs, while subtle melodic shifts hint at the lingering humanity beneath the upgrade. This isn’t just a tune—it’s a sonic snapshot of post-organic selfhood, where the line between “me” and “mine” dissolves.

Clone asks: if your new body is flawless, what happens to the flaws that made you real?

@hazr_magiccarpet steps up for the next instalment of our series, after recently settling down in Lisbon he's founded a label @magiccarpetrecords & been digging some interesting sounds:

"Can’t wait to be rolling around in the hay again soon with all the crew - Come Bye is a special place.

Kept this one pretty groovy, showcasing some 90s treats that I’ve been digging recently, which has managed to keep me sane in the lockdown.
Hope it gets your toes wiggling x"
