We’re excited to announce our newest collective member, Ogazón! 

To celebrate her residency, we decided to share her three-hour set recorded at Left Bank during her stay in September. 
Not bound to a sound in particular, Luxemburgish/Spanish artist's recording uncovers her genuine skill and passion in selecting the blissful tones for the dancefloor.

Next up in our series is Rachel Noon, a NYC-bred spirit, based in Berlin. She still attributes her most important career strides to Brooklyn’s underground queer scene - being a long-term resident at Unter after-hours and through her own event series Large Marge, founded back in 2017. In 2022 also joined the Copenhagen-based collective Fast Forward.

Rachel provides a proper banging techno,which she describes as "a mix that is equal parts psychedelic, groovy, tribal, and surprising. This mix includes a selection of tracks that have really smashed the dance floor during some recents sets - including the Bassiani closing and also 
my debut set in the UK at FOLD. "

After a decade devoted to djing, in 2009 Stojche shifted to producing and has since released records on labels like A.r.t.less, DMK, Conform, Subwax and Argumento Music, which he has co-founded. In 2011 he launched his solo imprint “Tangible Assets”. An outlet that has given him the freedom to explore and refine his trademark Detroit-influenced dubbed out productions. Enjoy!

As the updated old saying might go, life is like a Lydo set - you never know what you're gunna get. This New York City-based interdisciplinary artist has plenty of tricks up their sleeve and a real love of mixing up genres in ways you wouldn't think possible. They have done so across Europe and North America and have a hardcore following at home where they run the legendary X-TRA.SERVICES. It makes regular seasonal appearances at BASEMENT, where LYDO (@lydole) is also a resident, and is a safe place to party for queer, trans, and non-binary people of colour.

LYDO's selections for us this week blow open the usual boundaries of techno. It's a mix of contrasts, where barrages of noise and malfunctioning machines are lit up by the most gorgeous melodies. Thumping and heavy rhythms are offset by wispy and light-emitting synth leads as energy levels are masterfully controlled. They build to moments of real intensity before being boiled down to pent-up promise and heads-down grooves. Somehow these sounds are both retro yet future, animalistic yet human, and they are proof that LYDO is a standout contemporary talent.

Mala Junta rabble rousers DJ Tool and D.Dan are up next for Zenaari Mix 010, but leave your biases at the door because this isn’t their usual high-speed mischief. In the vein of Zenaari’s hallmark off-kilter electronics the Berlin based pair are here instead to take you on a journey within. This one’s less for warehouse raving, more for solo spiritual contemplation: an invitation to probe the subconscious and transcend material experience. It’s a thorough exploration of their ambient predilections that range from featherlight textures to faded melodies that lilt like waves on a metaphysical shore. This liminal collage of gentle lullabies and acoustic murmurs is soft and a touch plaintive, but warm and loving all the same. Invoking everything from glitchy IDM to ballads that bend towards the strange and pineal, a technicolor dream sequence conjured up by this offbeat techno double-act.

Zenaari Mix 010 - Dj Tool & D.Dan

Here is the recording from my set at Tresor, on a “New Faces” night curated by Cecilia Tosh.

The club was packed and the energy on the dancefloor was already incredible before I started playing. With that in mind, I tried to keep my set as dynamic as possible, often choosing contrast over coherence. The bpm and mixing style are also faster than my usual.

I hope you can re-experience some of that club energy through this recording. A big thanks to Cecilia for giving me the opportunity to express myself in this mythical club.

Until next time!

Multidisciplinary artist and queer agitator Valley Dolly is a long time friend and light designer to Bassiani as well as a member of the locally-based Hydrash collective. An eager student of the heady nights of New York underground culture, in their sound there’s an undeniable debt to the house music of that time and place, and the many constituent queer and trans faces that lit the way for so many who came after. By extension Valley Dolly, who also works under the alias Svecki*, uses their skills and context to probe contemporary inequalities, question gender paradigms and deliver a radical critique of the same in the form of perky and silver-toned beats. Their work also alludes to a wider palette of personal inspirations, everything from the quotidian rituals of Tbilisi life to video games and horror films. All of it comes together in a bespoke and brightly coloured house sound that radiates joy and positivity. Savvy rhythms that bounce along at steady pace, melodies that seduce and blaze a trail from start to closing track with one simple goal set in their sights, sharing that feeling of love and inclusivity. Bassiani Podcast 228 kicks off the heavy burden of patriarchal culture with a wink and a smile and sets its ablaze with equal zeal, an hour of breezy tunes from a cherished member of the Georgian scene, and here's hoping there’ll be many more to come.

Bassiani invites Valley Dolly / Podcast #228

Returning to the Podcast for yet another round of Mach 4 techno comes Mala Junta head honcho DJ Tool, a live recording from his clubnight’s Bassiani takeover back in March. The Danish-born, German-based selector and former Fast Forward collaborator is every bit the sound and feel of Copenhagen, the gritty, trance-focused beats that have found a home in the Danish city run through his work like liquid mercury and now have Berlin in their grasp. And for one special night earlier this year, alongside D.Dan and Yazzus, Tbilisi too came under his fevered spell. With a manifest focus on inclusivity, support, friendship, and community, his signature sound is faster than a speeding bullet, one that whips up every ounce of a crowd’s energy and leaves behind the type of excited chatter you hear at the cloakroom at the end of the very best nights. It’s a techno that cuts right through and connects with people in the most visceral way, releasing pent up spirits through ferocious tempos and whirling bass. Bassiani Podcast 230 is unchained, unapologetic and pure DJ Tool throughout, four hours of pyrotechnic force from the Mala Junta firebrand.
