  About the mix:
 "Feeling a bit drained by winter and under the weather, I wanted to create something comforting, like that old plaid you love to wrap yourself in.
As a teenager, I used to listen to mixes in bed, dreaming of being in clubs while drifting off to sleep, caught in the loop. I tried to capture that feeling here. Hope you enjoy it !"

Fast Forward Audio Series #105 - Elise Massoni

Blue Hour doesn’t need much of an intro, since 2013 the Brightonian DJ, Producer and label head has built a reputation for quick-witted techno and spread his sound at viral pace. The whys are evident, through the years Luke Standing has walked a road from a love of UK dance music genres  (and associated incursions under the monikers Furesshu and Esoteric), to full-bore and masterfully cut techno. When he called the UK home, fate inevitably pulled him into Berlin’s orbit, a place he’d often visit to get his musical fix, and for over a decade it’s been his new nest. He’s come into his own here, working hard (and playing hard) to build a sturdy vision that’s evinced through bookings, releases and close contact with names like Dold, Alpha Tracks, Scandinavian trance collective UTE and Philippa Pacho (with whom he runs forward-thinking  sublabel positivesource). His work, and everything his eponymous label puts out, is stimulating and high order, hedonic techno made for the big room that assuringly cuts all felt spatial and temporal bonds. Smouldering loops that reference his love of 90s rave, and pull equally from IDM, breakbeat, acid, trance and UK bass, furnishing a signature style that’s bullet-fast and unstoppable. Bassiani Podcast 245 is an hour-long studio-recorded spell to the tune of his trademark euphoria. Sweaty beats made for dancing well up to and beyond the blue hour.

Bassiani invites Blue Hour / Podcast #245

5:33 AM is a track that makes you feel like you're in the jungle of frequencies. The rhythm is steady and constant, powered by a deep, grounded kick drum. Crisp snares snap through the mix, punctuated by sharp hi-hats that create a tight, driving pulse. The track is sparse, with sonar-like bleeps and distant, echoing tones that pulse in and out, adding a sense of space and depth. The minimal percussion and eerie, resonant sounds keep the focus on the rhythm, drawing you deeper into the groove, as the track unfolds like a mysterious, rhythmic journey through a vast, open soundscape.

Sahasawat also known as Saha is a Berlin-based DJ and producer, immersed in the world of acid techno and hypnotic grooves. Influenced by the sounds of the '90s, his music blends deep basslines with intricate rhythms, creating a feeling of flow and focus. His tracks are built on a foundation of raw, driving energy, where repetition and subtle shifts in sound take listeners on a journey. Sahasawat’s approach to music is driven by a passion for the genre, channeling the spirit of techno's past while creating something uniquely his own.
