Vault Sessions #156 -  Elisa Batti

In the early hours of Friday morning, from 7 to 9 am, I had the honour of gracing the stage of this iconic festival – a place that holds a special place in my heart since my first visit in 2001. Fusion has always been the epitome of what a festival should be, and being invited to play on the main stage was a dream coming true.

For this sunrise set, I didn't go straight for the heavy bangers. Instead, I carefully curated a selection of tracks that were meant to ignite that special colourful energy as the festival prepared to take it´s morning rest soon. This set is a mix of vinyl gems, with a few digital exclusives sprinkled in. This warmth and authenticity of vinyl mixing, especially that magical low end quality, on a sound system like Lambda Labs, takes precedence over the perfectly polished digital mixes.

I really hope you have a great time with this set, just like I did when I played it. Unfortunately, we hit some technical snags at the beginning, so that part got cut off...

For the latest SPND20 Mixtape📼 @yontii steps up, delivering a set that embodies movement, tension, and release. A DJ deeply rooted in political activism, Yonti has long used music as a tool for unity and resistance, curating club nights and queer events defined by their raw energy and inclusivity. His approach to techno is both contemporary and relentless—loop-driven, textured, and always pushing forward.✨

From his early days in the scene to becoming a regular at Berghain, Yonti has carved out a sound that thrives in high-intensity moments. With appearances at K41, Tresor, De School, Basement, and Glastonbury, his sets have become known for their ability to immerse the dancefloor in melancholic euphoria, drenched in sweat and emotion.🔊 

For his SPND20 Mixtape, Yonti captures the chaos and transformation of the past year and a half, reflecting a time of uncertainty and motion. Layers of sound weave through darker textures before culminating in a cathartic release—an evolving narrative of tension and momentum. Recorded on a four-deck setup with a Xone 92 and a blue sky reverb pedal, this mix is an unfiltered expression of movement through sound. Dive in now!🖤

Lacking no oomph, the mixes of Amsterdam’s one and only Mary Lake tick all the boxes of a quality hi-NRG set. Boasting a definite knack for those volatile hotchpotches of big-room-ready jack and a surgical DJing skillset, Mary treats us to a frantic whirlwind of paced-up machine funk and absolutely imparable industrial-inflected maneuvers. Cranking the heat one notch up with every bar, the Dutch DJ certainly knows how to bring dance floors to a simmer and keep crowds under her spell through wave after wave of an uncompromising floor-destroying exposé. No-surrender, adrenaline-stacked ripper of a mix thru and thru, consider yourselves warned for the tumultuous ride ahead. Hectic.

GiGi FM is the 433rd guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

This mix is a cosmic, spiraling journey ~ a meditation on movement, intensity, and expansion. Opening and closing with the mantra Per aspera, ad astra (“through hardships to the stars”), GiGi FM wanted to invite listeners to surrender, transcend, and travel beyond the visible ~ where words dissolve and sound begins to speak ~ to move us in ways language never could.

Perhaps even reach that liminal space where mind, body, and soul dance in sync.

Download available.

The Lady Machine is back for another round of Podcast fun for Bassiani Podcast 266. Born in Rio, based in Berlin, Camila Milieme developed an ear for techno at a young age, attending Brazil’s Galaktika parties and picking up tracks from radio show Novas Tendencias before landing her first gig at the fresh age of 21, and at the famed Bunker 94 in São Paulo no less. Following studies in music production in the UK, she eventually landed in Berlin and channeled everything into a dual career as DJ/producer. Her vinyl sets were, are, contagious and brimming with rapid-fire basslines, relying heavily on the type of techno à la Detroit that has been so foundational to the genre without aging a day. These ones she’s published on Mote Evolver, half of Unterwegs with musicmate Decka and resident at free-spirited Berlin party series Pornceptual. A successful crowd-DJ alliance is no easy task, but twenty years of experience have sharpened her instinct for sound and the people she’s playing it to. Driving techno that lurches along on a razor edge, slamming rhythms that vibrate through the body, the magical and unquantifiable substance that allows the very best raves to coalesce. Whatever it is she has it in spades and this latest instalment proves it. This recent number’s a cut from her live set at Bassiani in mid April; rampant grooves and low-end layers picked, welded together and distorted by this singular Brazilian talent, and mastered by @neptunemastering. The Lady Machine’s chopped-up beats are a techno purist’s dream, this newest arrival makes it reality.
