Phara & Stranger - HATE Podcast 381

Born in Sweden but operating out of Berlin, Philippa Pacho has been making waves in the scene as of late, notably amassing a stream of incendiary performances at some of the world’s finest (and most demanding) clubs, including Bassiani and Fuse. Herald of a fast-paced, no-surrender type of DJing, all eyes set on bringing crowds to a simmer thru and thru, Philippa muscles her way across various techno sub-genres and rhythms with conviction and poise, alternatively pushing classic Detroit-influenced material, Nordic minimalism and more Continental European-informed expressions, as she harnesses the very best of these through uncompromising selections with a pristine mixing technique. Shockwave incoming.

Reclaim Your City 587 | Philippa Pacho

Commanding the highest levels of sonic alchemy, master shaman Woody92 unleashed a masterful session of deep cerebral hypnosis atop the Spanish Pyrnees mountains to close out the second night of Paral·lel Festival 2024. With each track laying down a new piece of the puzzle, Woody intricately assembled together a masterpiece while simultaneously disassembling the minds of the mountain dwellers.  

As the horns signalled the closing of the session and all pieces were perfectly placed the tour de force was complete, leaving the dancers left trying to piece their minds back together.

Next up in our mix series is fleika - hailing from Prague. fleika grew up during the heyday of Prague’s rave culture, coming of age as a DJ in booths built for a single night only. The Czech techno renaissance formed him, then the newly-born club culture embraced him as one of its main protagonists. The Ankali resident digs anything that kicks, melts or makes one’s mind trip, but mainly thrives on diving into the vast depths of hypnotic and psychedelic techno – as deep as it gets.

This mix is a recording from fleika’s closing set from his ‘Archiv Technologi’ night at Ankali after DJ Nobu, a couple of weeks ago. With a steady hand, he guides the night to a beautiful end, drifting through airy textures and weightless atmospheres. As dawn approaches and the first light seeps in, his soundscape gently carries dancers back to reality—sofly touching down at planet earth again.

For our twenty third installment we've invited August, an upcoming DJ and dancefloor regular based in Amsterdam.

August loves to explores the deeper, more experimental and organic side of techno. His sets blend intricate soundscapes, broken rhythms, and dark ambient influences, creating deep, immersive experiences that transport listeners to otherworldly realms.

Beyond conventional techno, August delves into ambient, downtempo, halftime, and IDM, crafting dynamic sets that keep audiences captivated. His performances balance the experimental with the danceable, each one a carefully curated journey and story waiting to be told.

Some words by Bart about his mix:
I wanted to create a mix that captures the essence of the dancefloor, focusing on storytelling, deep kicks, and impressive soundscapes. These elements are what I value most in a set.

In the past, I struggled to capture the vibrant energy of a club while working from home or in the studio. This time, I decided to limit myself to just two attempts at recording, which allowed me to focus on the creative process rather than getting caught up in perfectionism. This approach worked really well, and I had a great time recording. I'm excited to share the final result—it's a club-focused mix with tracks from all my favorite producers."

Founding member of Axces Recordings and Danish DJ/producer Kasper Marott returns to the Bassiani airwaves with a Zenaari edition that studies a much more phrenic side of his musical world. Driven by instinct, his work reflects a single minded aversion to commercial orthodoxy and the regular grind of a 40 hour work week: it’s all about feeling and a passion for creating the sounds that have kept him and his Copenhagen crew together, ‘nature, friends, family, home’. Forget the springy beats and dulcet melodies this time round, here is something entirely different and new. In stark contrast to his catalogue of jovial anthems, the likes of breakthrough hit Keflavik and 2021’s Mini Trance, Kasper’s inward-looking work slows those rhythms right down and investigates the possibilities of a sound much more restricted in palette. It’s a surprising turnaround for someone whose name evokes the breezy basslines of open-air jaunts, one packed with vibrating synths, understated instrumentals, and the electronic crackling of a wood fire on a balmy summer night. Zenaari Mix 018 is Kasper Marott like you’ve never heard him before, far from the dancefloor and burdening constraints of a rave context, Zenaari gives his inner world a voice, and the result is a rich, human and deep-toned 67 minute cut recorded in studio for this latest in the series.

The Field Between: Music and Anti-Music

This artistic manifesto explores sound in the liminal space between music and anti-music—a generative field where the "unheard" insists on being felt rather than understood.
Music as Architecture: Music is framed as humanity's system for creating order and meaning from sonic chaos. It organizes, names, and classifies sound, offering maps and directions through auditory experience. Music builds bridges of meaning, structures time into comprehensible sequences, and domesticates temporal flow so it "makes sense." Fundamentally, music expresses gratitude for the recognizable, providing belonging and comfort through shared patterns and familiar structures.

Anti-Music as Invitation: Contrary to negation or rupture, anti-music is a profound expansion of sonic possibility. It doesn't destroy—it invites. This is an invitation to perceive differently, to embrace the unmapped and un-coded as valid artistic territory. Anti-music offers "foreignness not as exile, but as adventure"—a chance to be a stranger in one's own sensory experience. It presents the sublime: beauty in what escapes comprehension, abysses that aren't empty but full of strange possibilities "without baptism." Where music domesticates time, anti-music offers time without domestication. It expresses gratitude for mystery itself.

The Fertile In-Between: The work's core focus is the vibrant field existing between these poles—not a void but a charged space of becoming where the "inaudito" (unheard) insists, overflows, conspires, and expands. This recognition acknowledges that understanding is also limitation; every definition closes secret doors. Each act of comprehension loses infinite other readings.
Intuitive Reconnection: The practice seeks to reconnect with pre-lingual perception—sensing vibrations the body intuits without understanding. "In this not-understanding, I reconnect." This return to the un-codified is the core artistic act.

Unified Philosophy: Music and anti-music aren't opposing forces but symbiotic partners coexisting in the same sonic space. The work celebrates both the understood and its beyond, residing in what anti-music reveals: a "fenda linda"—a beautiful fissure in the fabric of the known, from which new ways of hearing and being emerge.
