A high-class, sublime, percussive, introspective, dancefloor masterpiece from an all-star line-up that inaugurates a brand new label! Welcome to the world of Kilómetro 4.5.

Out of Tulum, Kilómetro 4.5 is birthed. Branching out from the Papaya Playa Project umbrella, its curators have created an extremely special home for electronic music idols and up-and-coming artists alike.

Kilómetro 4.5’s first voyage of sound navigates the airwaves as a compilation of unique tracks from pioneering producers created uniquely for Kilómetro 4.5.

"Compilation Vol. 1" features tracks by Dorisburg, Sebastian Mullaert, Wareika and Kalabrese.

Electronic music stalwart Sebastian Mullaert (Circle of Live/Minilogue) appropriately follows suit with incomprehensible and inimitable levels of depth on his appropriately titled track 'No Menace'. 4x4 kicks lull you into a continuous state of hypnotism that he has come to master over the decades of production he is so well known for.

"Compilation Vol. 1" is coming out on September 24th

Selector Session – Kvanchi [SSKI004]

Selector Session serisinin bu haftaki konuğu, komşu ülkemiz Gürcistan’dan dostumuz Kvanchi. 

Bassiani’nin resident DJ’i ve Bassiani Records’un label manager’ı olarak sahnenin merkezindeki yerini koruyan Kvanchi, bu kayıtta arşivinin trippy ve trance etkili parçalarına yöneliyor. 

Minimal groove’larla örülü, sade ama derin yapılı bu set, dinleyiciyi hipnotik bir ses dünyasına davet ediyor.

Tiflis’te yükselen protestoların gölgesinde, Kvanchi bu seti hem sahnede hem de toplumsal alanda sesini duyuran bir sanatçı olarak sunuyor. 

-----

This week’s Selector Session features our good friend Kvanchi from our neighboring country, Georgia. 

A resident of the iconic Bassiani and label manager at Bassiani Records, Kvanchi dives into the more trancey and trippy corners of his collection. 

Built around minimal grooves and stripped-down rhythms, the set delivers a hypnotic, carefully crafted journey through his distinct sonic world.

Recorded in the midst of ongoing protests in Tbilisi, this mix arrives with quiet weight — a reminder of how music and resistance often move side by side.

The fight against the restless mind
Faithless's "Insomnia" directly exposes the impact of sleep deprivation, transforming Maxi Jazz's personal experience into something universal. The vocalist drew inspiration from his own insomnia, caused by a tooth abscess, to create a narrative about the constant struggle against relentless thoughts and the search for relief. Lines like "I struggle, fight dark forces / In the clear moonlight / Without fear, insomnia / I can't get no sleep" demonstrate both the physical exhaustion and the mental struggle that intensifies during the night.
The lyrics blend desire, frustration, and failed attempts to find peace, as in “Insomnia, please release me and let me dream of / Making mad love to my girl on the heath / Tearin' off tights with my teeth / But there's no release, no peace.” The use of sleeping pills, mentioned in “kept takin' sleepers / But now I keep myself pepped,” shows the transition from despair to restless resignation. Even creativity, as in “that night I write by candlelight / I find insight,” emerges as a result of forced wakefulness. The chorus “I can't get no sleep” reinforces the endless cycle of insomnia, making the song a faithful portrait of the exhaustion and restlessness of sleepless nights.
So...

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
