Up next is Zurkin, highly active on the local scene and co-founder of Vodkast Records: both imprint and Tbilisi vinyl oasis for fervid record lovers everywhere. Early April saw him follow DJ Nobu’s unconventional house set at Horoom with an eight hour closing run of his own, for Bassiani Podcast 122 we recorded it live. This one’s packed with everything from left-field house to spacey electronics, extra garage tunes and acid trance frequencies thrown in for good measure. Undoubtedly one of the best Horoom parties to date.

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.

We continue to slowly open the stash of unbelievable recordings from ICKPA 2023 in RSO Berlin. This one comes from two Tbilisi heavyweights and their visionary collaboration debuting on past summer edition.

ICKPA 007 - Zitto b2b Zurkin

Here is a cut of my set at Bassiani/Horoom I played on the 4th of May. It was a fantastic night and quite a ride and I ended up playing for more than 5h in Horoom. Nobody could predict what would happen a week later.

I'm so happy to see that there is such a strong community in Georgia that is able to change things to the better and fight the power. Stay strong and keep up the great work. Lots of love from Berlin to Tbilisi. IC

Huntleys & Palmers presents BLTRSX on MutantRadio.net Who better to close out the day, than the impressive Kvanchi - a man who is a local legend for closing the party the next afternoon. Hope gets to do it again soon.
