Strongly shaped by the raw and forward-leaning sound of 90’s Techno, Milan based artist Alarico Zucchi started his journey into electronic music in 2015 making his way through clubs as a DJ while learning the art of music production. 

The inauguration of ‘Alarico’ occurred in 2019 after previously exploring several sub-genres of Techno. The alias was formed as a statement to showcase a style that was personal to him. Personal in a way that he became captivated within the patterns and structures of his own sound. So-much-so that his multiple our long podcasts solely consisting of his own material made him stand out from a whole host of young and promising producers and DJs. 

Known for fast paced rhythms and kinky grooves he has released music consistently since his debut in 2020 on Joton’s imprint “Newrhytmic Records”. Shortly after he launched his own vinyl imprint “Katana Records”, which showcases the more mental and introverted side of his idea of Techno. He certainly cemented his rank in today’s Techno landscape through releases on Matrixxman’s highly acclaimed “The Grid”, Token Records and sees a bright future with a forthcoming release on SHDW & Obscure Shape’s newest endeavour “Mutual Rytm”. 

Alarico continues to position himself as a unique music lover, exploring the depths and possibilities of sound. He stands for permanently pushing boundaries and stirring this attitude with his background of Hip Hop and Japanese culture.

BCCO Mix Series 538: ANNĒ | BCCO x ÜBERKIKZ | International Women's Day

Under his pen name Chlär, Charles Accarisi sets forth with a full rig manifestation of techno that jolts from one trunk-rattler to the next. From his native Switzerland to his adoptive home Berlin, the potency of his sound has followed him and grown ever larger, an assertive strain of dyed-in-the-wool techno that’s groovy and layered as a mountain rock. Working over and above his standard DJ duties, across A&R, events and sound engineering, Chlär practices full-involvement in much of the music pipeline, starting with his own sound and that of new finds and ending with the music’s final dialogue in public space. He’s been keeping busy, and as half of Funk Assault, co-runner of Bipolar Disorder Rec and founder of Primal Instinct his plate’s more than full, but his just-released first full album on the latter label shows little signs he’s tiring. The Architects of Shadows explores current political and sociological themes as broad as nationalism and social atomisation, rifts that through his many roles in music, he’s working hard to bridge. The promise of that newly connected world comes alive through the primacy of his beats, looping, packed with meaning but immediate nonetheless. Bassiani Podcast 248 is an hour and a half of dizzying basslines and all encompassing loops that bear witness to Chlär’s undeniable skill as techno selector. These are future-ready beats from a techno polymath.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Chlär / Podcast #248

My next guest on Yax Invites is Sydney based, BIGELOW.

Founder of HYPNO, BIGELOW crafts hypnotic techno journeys through deep basslines and raw, primal energy. With a unique 4-deck mixing approach, he keeps the crowd locked in, always delivering unexpected twists that keep the dancefloor hooked from start to finish.

"For this mix, I wanted to dive into darker, trippier sounds that I’ve been into lately. I focused on creating a flow of different emotions, leaning into a raw and rugged vibe. I layered a lot of tracks while keeping the kick rolling to maintain a steady intensity throughout. Enjoy ✌🏻"

Toward a Future Without Light is a melancholy house track built on slow-burning tension and deep, atmospheric layers. It carries a sense of inevitable descent, pulling listeners into a soundscape where hope has already vanished. Dark synth textures and haunting vocal passages echo the weight of a future stripped of warmth, while the steady rhythm drives forward like footsteps into the unknown. It is both hypnotic and devastating. A soundtrack to the quiet realization that some tomorrows never arrive.
