Ahead of her kinetic debut this weekend, we asked untitled 909 / wav world / g force head honcho and one of our favourite people @basicchanel to join us for our 37th podcast.

After a pretty incredible break out year which has seen her support the likes of upsammy, lena wilikens + bruce to name a few, she's put together an incredible mix exploring her new favourite music movement, 'low end psychedlia'

you can catch her playing at our event in Paris this saturday alongside softi, Dj wiggles & B.Mcqueen - https://ra.co/events/2032390

This mix is something I’ve been thinking about for a while - the reemergence of low end psychedelia. I call it a reemergence as I feel like it could be linked to the trippy side of dubstep with the likes of Skull Disco and that sound coming back but on a much broader scale. I spoke about it in an interview recently as something I’ve become obsessed with, in particular this year, and I don’t really see any platforms covering it or trying to encapsulate this really exciting musical movement. Low end psychedelia can range from techno, trance, drum & bass, dubstep and more but the through line is this deep, trippy soundscape. The mix I’ve created highlights this push and pull between the slow/fast side of this sound where it ranges from 85 to 170 bpm, weaving through spacey, swampy and wonked-out techno, drum & bass and IDM. Something that’s worth mentioning is that a lot of the artists who are coming through in this scene are based in France, most notably Lyon and that’s what I want to write about and get to the bottom of, what’s the history there and what’s going on in France right now that’s influencing this movement. Some artists and labels to shout out include Christian Coiffure, Vardae, Comic Sans Records, SousTraitance, Beatrice M., Hewan Aman, Blue Night Jungle, Monochrome Records, sindh, kick21, minú jr and many more!

Ambient music was really my saviour during lockdown. I was going through my first heartbreak and living in a different country, which I moved to 6 months before the lockdown happened. There was no escaping your feelings during this time, you had to face them head on, as soon as they appeared, so I started building these playlists filled with ambient music as a way of giving myself some headspace during particularly tricky times. Or they would be what I would listen to on my ‘sanity walks’, something I still make sure I do everyday. I have such an emotional connection to this music and there was one really tough Christmas period where I decided to turn these playlists into the sounds of healing mix series - the first edition is literally the first ever playlist I made during this time and the Refuge Worldwide show was an extension of that, showing other strings of ambient music that might not necessarily fit within the ‘healing’ theme. Stating the obvious here but music is a really powerful tool for addressing emotions and this was my way of connecting with that.

"Opening the new season of Terre Rare, upsammy conjures shifting, iridescent terrains here synthetic flora moves with prismatic motion.
A delicate balance of warmth and alien detachment, her echoing expanse oscillates between chiseled clarity and fluid disorder.
Alongside her, Pietro Agostoni reinterprets the concept of the Stagno drawing session, transforming it into a perceptual flow where gestures layer, deform, and recombine through a visual language in constant mutation. 

Frequencies fracture, memories disassemble. Unheard cadences and fluid impressions fuse, bending the 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑒 into new forms. Vibrations rise, ancestral, synthetic, primal. Reverberations warp, surfaces melt, light and sound seep into each other, distorting perception. 
Season 2 deepens the convergence, expanding the threshold of experience. A ritual of contamination."

No distance without presence. No melancholy without warmth. On Me, With You, @jonnnah – aka Lyon-based producer Pierre Paumier – unspools seven textured sketches of memory, perception, and desire. Drawing from the bubbling undercurrents of trip-hop revival, he crafts grooves that don’t demand attention but earn it slowly – through rhythmic asymmetry, warm bass blooms, and momentary flashes of clarity.
