Seqta [23.04.2021]

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Kancheli

Giorgi Kancheli is a Georgian producer and resident DJ at Bassiani who has been crucial in shaping the country’s club culture. Growing up in the dark and crumbling Tbilisi, in the ’90s, has greatly influenced his musical identity.

Kancheli’s professional relationship with music began with percussion, and at the age of 17, he was already playing at the Tbilisi jazz festival. Soon after that, he got into electronic music and has now been an active DJ for over 15 years. In early 2010, Kancheli and his friends started the project ‘Stare at DJ’, which quickly became the main event of the country’s evolving club scene. Today, Kancheli is one of the most popular DJs in his hometown Tbilisi, headlining many major festivals in Georgia and performing at the industry’s most respected venues such as Berghain, Robert Johnson, Shelter, Dimensions, and CTM Festival.
Besides spinning the decks, Giorgi also writes and produces his own music.
In spring 2020, his debut solo EP “Earthshaketrance” got released on Bassiani Records.
Kancheli also co-runs the label Shin Records - a label focused on emerging Georgian producers.

Enjoy!

Fast Forward Audio Series #69: Kancheli

Olly - Subject Line: Better side of you [RC2022-11-04]

Sophie Phare is an emergent fixture of Georgian club culture. Since 2016 she’s taken inspiration from the land, everything from the Black Sea coast to Tbilisi’s dancefloor denizens, and funnelled these influences into a frequent schedule as rebel selector for queer party Horoom Nights. Like the series, Phare has activism running through her veins: her resonant and peppy mixes are the language she chooses to spread her anti-normative creed, one geared to creating a more inclusive world. And with italo, acid and perky house forming the backbone of Bassiani Podcast 132, she’ll encourage everyone to have fun in the process. This one’s a lightning-speed broadcast from the budding maverick talent.

Bassiani resident Hamatsuki cooks up an hour of flirty electronics for Podcast number 138. This one’s an ambient riff on his casual hybrid of optimistic and laid back sounds. Over the last years, Mamuka Tskhadaia has become a Horoom staple, perfecting a formula that reliably keeps a crowd of avid ravers in his fold. For this latest live recording straight from the club, the DJ/producer brings an exciting mix of fresh melodies, contemplative segues, incongruent rhythms and auspicious flair to his hour-long exploration in sound.

At the helm for this next one is local-grown whizz kid Natia Pailodze. She’s the recondite face behind the decks at Horoom, without so much as a flinch, spinning ice-cool sounds that gradually scale and make an intimate home of whatever space they might fill. Her unadulterated techno steers clear of typical tropes and delivers something keenly personal, intelligent loops that playfully coil and dance with their pliant crowd. As for Bassiani Podcast 169: she’s just as ingenious in the studio, gradually building a complex palette of off-kilter tunes and drumloops of the most persistent stripe. This rising tide is coursing along at her own speed, a force fated for big things: this hour long segue is just Olly breaking ground.
