Second track from the album "Baba Soirée" 
Release: Oct 27 

Two visionary maestros, Pierre Bastien and Michel Banabila, unite in their first collaborative album, Baba Soirée. The veterans of electronic music bring their unique expertise to the table, resulting in a captivating fusion of experimental styles. Bastien’s mechanical loops and experimental instrumental setups merge seamlessly with Banabila's sound design and impeccable skills of sampling collages. It's not a dance party, nor is it an avant-garde intervention. It's a soirée: a cultivated evening of sonic alchemy hosted by these two charismatic gentlemen.

Pierre Bastien is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with a background in French literature. He has spent decades crafting an idiosyncratic world of experimental sound with his self-built mechanical orchestra Mecanium. It was most notably showcased in audiovisual releases on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label. Bastien's creations are a mesmerizing combination of traditional instruments (he has a vast collection) and mechanical automatons. The violin in the track Rotomotor, for example, is physically played by one of his machines. In Baba Soirée, Bastien also plays a prepared cornet (Slow Dance, Banbas Aura), infusing the recordings with a breathy, dreamy dimension.

Michel Banabila, a sound artist, composer and producer, possesses an eclectic musical repertoire that defies genres. His seamless blend of minimal electronica, tribal ambient, and neo-classical influences has earned him a prominent place in the world of experimental music, and an impressive discography (Knekelhuis, Bureau B, Séance Center, a.o.). Banabila serves as the creative sampling editor for Baba Soirée, expertly weaving together the recordings to craft an evocative sonic tapestry.

The two share a curiosity for traditional instruments from various cultures. The instruments used in the recordings are shown in the cover artwork. A mutual admiration for each other's work paved the way for this fruitful artistic partnership of the Rotterdam-based artists: Collaborating on a single as a fundraiser for Yemen in 2022 set the stage for the creation of Baba Soirée.

For Pierre Bastien, Dada, Fluxus and International Situationism have played a significant role in shaping his artistic vision. The title Baba Soirée is an homage to Kurt Schwitters and Theo van Doesburg's "Kleine Dada Soirée" collaboration which took place exactly a century ago. There's an unmistakable stoicism and an anarchic not-giving-a-f*** attitude in these recordings by Bastien & Banabila, which resonates in the light of this Dada reference.

Alex Picone is a man who's seen many trends come and go and is now existing in a space outside of them; without a doubt occupying a unique spot in the dance music landscape. 

Primarily known these days as one of the co-founders of Seekers and Small Black Dots, with an extensive discography behind him and having put his hand to numerous other projects, there's a maturity to both his production and DJing that's rarely seen in tandem.

This propulsive, two-hour mix blurs the lines between the two; laden with Alex's own productions, the singularity of his artistic vision and depth of his record bag is on full display.

Alex Picone

From his first few releases on the influential Interactive Test label and as Major Hypnotic Key Institute, Miki was a key figure in shaping the early techno landscape. It's testament to his staying power that he's been able to remain cutting edge for so long, with many of his records getting a new lease of life when picked up by the usual suspects.

This mix checks in at almost three hours and is a consummate display of the man's talents; the sheer breadth of his record collection and the skilful manner it's woven together in all befitting of a 30+ year veteran.

Giancarlino A Journey with Kuboraum is a set that Giancarlo played during a special ceremony we have with our friends once a year in Rome. This ceremony is hosted by one of us in a really special place, located in a glass house on a hill outside of the city and in the woods. This ceremony bounds the friendship of a group of people from all over.

We decided to share this experience with you through this outstanding podcast, which contains music from all over the world, with every kind of genre, to underline the fact that we are all the same on the dance floor. 
Everyone brings their own experiences and their differences. We especially enjoy the differences. We know each others and ourselves through differences. One love.

Giancarlino carefully observes everyday reality and has the ability of experimenting and anticipating new musical trends. He surely can be considered one of the best deejays in this industry, as well as being a music producer, A&R director and organizer of big events. Since his debut, Giancarlino has researched new sources of inspiration and has given a new imprint to his music. Being one of the first deejays playing house music in Rome, especially hip-hop and acid jazz, his taste and personal style makes him move on to electronic music. In 1996, the opening of GOA club has been fundamental for the city of Rome as it soon becomes a symbolic club for the city. The club rapidly gets known in the deejay music scene. Its ethnic style, magical atmosphere and innovative sounds make this club unique. It continuously hosts important deejays from all over the world and Giancarlino has always given the opportunity to all emerging artists to play in his club. Many of them became important deejays throughout their career. During these years Goa club has become a music factory, capable of understanding and letting grow new generation of deejays that are frequently invited to play in major clubs all over the world. The club has been able to mix music, art, theatre, dance and visual installations in all its forms. Unlike many deejays that travel around, Giancarlino firmly decides to stay and establish himself in his home city in order to achieve his main targets, firstly by playing in many clubs of the city and later by creating his own club where he finally finds an ideal situation by putting into action all of what he has built throughout time. Giancarlino is a quiet private person and doesn’t like appearing in social events in order to get noticed. He never really liked club private areas and everything that concerns commercial sounds and music. Giancarlino plays electronic music including a wide variety of genres from breakbeat, tech house, techno, to electro, all exclusively played in vinyl records.
