Podcasts and Mixes

VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene.

The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: https://www.voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Based in Paris, Voiski’s artistic identity can be described simply as music fanaticism. His career is almost hard to keep up with as it’s always taking turns and reinventing itself. Regularly shifting between genres, he has released on quite the collection of record labels under the Voiski name such as Dekmantel, L.I.E.S., Delsin, and Bassiani to name a few.

Every episode ends with a question pointed towards our community. Want to get involved? Then join our 'Voltage Community' on Facebook or follow our Instagram account (voltage.festival).

VOLTAGE Podcast 06 - Voiski

Blitzing techno from Tbilisi’s finest, @newa takes the reins of number 13 in the Junction 2 mix series.

A resident of techno stronghold Bassiani, Newa is at the forefront of the fledgling underground scene in her home country of Georgia. Growing up classically trained, the Icontrax label boss has made a seamless transition into the electronic music sphere to land huge releases on labels such as Klockworks, Semantica and Arsenik. With her diverse sets exploring low-level bass, squelching acid and potent melodies, she has become a favourite on Ben Klock’s touring event series Photon and showcases why she is one to watch with a standout mix for the Junction 2 series.

Vault Sessions #093 - Kancheli

NDRX and Bassiani go hand in hand. As a teenager he took to DJing to passing traffic on his hometown’s streets with some friends and some signs saying ‘We need clubs in Georgia’. This motto serving as something of a north star, it’s safe to say his dream has been fulfilled. These days, the self-styled music activist runs his very own DJ school and creative community (11th) with the goal of paying favours forward. Far be it from him to rest easy in retirement though, he’s active as ever: number 123 is a live recording of his recent set on Bassiani home turf. Distorted submarine bleeps, nimble basslines, expert layering, cranium-splintering techno, it’s all there, and this Tbilisi veteran is just getting started.

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

NEBBIERI is a stage name of a charismatic DJ, Marita Nebieridze, whose sets are based on the synthesis of techno, electro, and breakbeat. Her music vision was inspired at an early age by artists such as Kate Bush, The Prodigy, Psychic TV, Wendy Carlos, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, and many more. The inspiration was depicted in her wonderful record collection. Later on, her enthusiasm transformed into a new initiative - aged 18, Marita eventually started DJing and throwing a regular home party series in Germany, alongside friends and like-minded people.

Since returning to Georgia, Marita debuted at HOROOM and then at BASSIANI’s queer night series HOROOM NIGHTS. Besides music, things that really inspire her are sci-fi literature and the surrounding environment and social life with its daily occurrences. Therefore, she considers DJing to be a very special responsibility, as inspired by the music and social happenings simultaneously, NEBBIERI thinks a DJ can compose and express a dramaturgically rigorous story.

Enjoy!

Fast Forward Audio Series #76: Nebbieri

Yet another talent hailing from the Georgian capital: Shin label boss Newa kicks off our next episode with her left-field strain of aquatic beats. If she hasn’t crossed your radar yet, the Bassiani resident could do soon. Since 2012, Newa’s experimental productions and makeshift sets have been making her presence felt all over this town. That’s changed a little with the pandemic (and becoming a mother), which makes this rare recording, her first set in a while, all the more special. Stay tuned for an incomparable gem: cheeky millennial euphoria, acid frequencies, apoplectic basslines, this one’s got it all.

Newa is now one of BASEMENT’s first residents. Her BASEMENT mix kicks the series off with a bang. Her set exemplifies techno at its rushing, futuristic best. Churning with a fleet-footed defiance, these 65 minutes show her firing on all cylinders. Describing the club, she says: “The first time I entered it, it felt like home. I try to choose very special tracks to play in BASEMENT, because there are not many clubs where I feel at home. The intimacy of BASEMENT is unique.”

Kancheli - HATE Podcast 324

Previous Podcast guests Ndrx and Newa return to the series with Bassiani Podcast 168, a b2b live set recorded back at the club in early March. These twin flames are faithful custodians of the Georgian scene and not for nothing. Independently, the duo have a discernible in-your-face spirit all their own, but together they make for a formidable pair whose sound for sore ears is thrilling and instinctual. Their surging techno bouts are the result of a flawless combo that sprints between slamming beats and underwater echoes with a kindling tempo designed to pique your primal senses. Watch this space, the duo’s skull sessions are reciprocal spellwork in the making, and who knows what they’ll summon up next.

Reclaim Your City 546 | Ndrx (Tbilisi)  

Wet tee shirts, ice brews pouring and heatwave-ready outfits definitely out the closet. July’s here and it’s not about to relent with our special summery treat, all set at cranking up the heat up two or three notches. Time to kit up and turn on the cooler. Throughout the month of July, RYC teams up with the Georgian monument of techno that is Bassiani to bring you a healthy diet of weekly mixes courtesy of its amazing cast of residents. Revving up the engines, Ndrx strikes first with two hours of his mind and body-entrancing pyrotechnics. Creator of bespoke floor narratives that defy the laws of gravity, Ndrx will have you whirling off into orbit thanks to his ever-reliable instinct for selection and a laser-guided precision in DJing. Diving deep into origami-esque dub folds and drilling his way farther across squelchy, 90s-informed uptempo territories, the Tbilisi maestro casts out nines as to his Bassiani stalwart status, exemplifying his levels of floor-destroying abilities with utmost boldness and panache. One for the hall of fame.

Reclaim Your City 546 | Ndrx

After her absolute masterclass of a set at our ''We Are Not Alone'' 1st of May Weekender earlier this year, we are extremely excited to welcome Newa's contribution to our podcast series! Flawless!

For Newa, when DJing, the emotional guidance she uses to locate the structure of her set is key. She builds something that has all the ingredients of classic techno and at the same time perfectly mirrors its present sound. She explores the low-level end of the bass-spectrum as well as cunningly introducing squelchy acid together with intense melodies. Newa’s techno is direct with an intense presence, yet never forceful or intrusive.
