This next one’s a very special B2B set from two of techno’s freshest talents. German/Dutch pairing Phil Berg and Lobster have emerged from their respective habitats masters of their art. From raves in both their homelands to releases on SK-eleven, HAYES, Room Trax and positivesource, as well as a shared residency for Vault Sessions that’s brought them here for Bassiani Podcast 210, the duo posit a deep and driving compound of high-voltage rhythms in their day-to-day praxis. Slamming techno that has claimed a rightful space among the greatest names of their generation. Layer by layer, an instinctive formulation of heaving basslines and delicate hi-hats balanced with utmost precision. It’s a seamless communion of complementary worldviews in respect to sound, a rich tapestry of ever morphing loops. It’s focus on gradual build, a slowly evolving chimera in lieu of schmaltzy instant gratification. This latest edition clocks in at three hours, a redacted version of their 12 hour set for the Vault Sessions night at Bassiani back in early February. Immersive and rolling, monolith techno that’s sure to set a higher bar for those who follow.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Phil Berg & Lobster / Podcast #210

Ever-evolving 2 mixers & 6 CDJs synergy from two prodigies of timeless contemporary techno, recorded live at Ratherlost in Lofi, Amsterdam on 01.01.2024.

Nørbak VS Quelza at Ratherlost NYD 2024

Somov Records head Ignez is up next with an unmissable techno number that’ll make you sweat. A younger self dropped the stuffy confines of his childhood on the Dutch coast and fled to Berlin as so many do, and there began to cultivate a sound that has placed him firmly among some of his talented and much talked about peers. The DJ/producer credits the seaside upbringing with instilling a deep respect for the rolling tides and endless sands, natural references that are deeply embodied in his hypnotising and immersive rhythms. His occasional return to home turf as resident of Amsterdam-based party series Eerste Communie has also played a significant role in his musical development and found him willing publishers in the likes of Token and SK_eleven, as well as a sparring partner in Berlin heavyweight Rødhåd (with whom he shares two EPs). It’s techno in purest form, bewitching loops that pulsate like those long ago shores. In that sound his ascetic beats are flanked by the most minimal detail and rely on raw percussive might to mesmerise his listener. A dancefloor portal to another world; transcendent stuff for sure. From small club settings to festivals on a larger scale Ignez brings a kind of magic that’s hard to turn a deaf ear to, Bassiani Podcast 220’s proof that he’ll pull those tricks at home too. A hour of virgin, mechanical beats that daze and enthral, a staunch reminder of techno’s visceral power and of why, for so many, it’s such a ruling passion.

Bassiani invites Ignez / Podcast #220

A much (duly) rated exponent of the Dutch techno sound within and well beyond its borders, Eerste Communie co-founder and resident MARRØN clocks in with a vibrant two-hour trip into his constantly minimal, yet untiringly expansive imaginarium. Through a chiselled selection of cuts both surgical and eerie - combining the haunting nature of deep, texturally lavish dubs with that of clinically arranged dance floor-destroyers, he has us swaying in a state of spooky stasis, zoning out further and further into trance-like abandon as the groove etches deeper. Boasting a signature both paced-up and uncompromisingly stripped down to its atomic nucleus, MARRØN serves up a masterly crafted piece of soul-searching engineering.

This is a 1 hour extract from my dj set at Bassiani on October 11th 2024.
Setup: 2 Technics SL-1210 M5G & Xone 96.

Phara - DJ Set At Bassiani 11.10.2024

Strap in and relive our 9th birthday celebrations, where Chami and OPH showcased their storytelling mastery — a testament built on mutual trust, intuition, complicity and synergy.

Under their Face 2 Face moniker, they engage in a dynamic, head-to-head exchange across 4 turntables and 2 mixers, creating a subconscious dialogue not just between themselves and with the crowd. 

The set unfolds shifting seamlessly between mental spaces and pulse-pounding moments, sometimes complementing each other, sometimes taking unexpected turns: a ritualistic yet cerebral journey with an undeniable magnetic pull. 

Sit back and enjoy this 2-hour excerpt!
