This EP features four tracks that represent an attempt to extract a little bit of fire from my insight. This internal fire serves as the driving force to explore and experience, motivating me to create music that, hopefully, provides you with a proper dance experience.

Enjoy,

Maybe I'm Just Fine

Now in its 200th instalment, this Podcast has given voice to a diverse offering of global talents across the musical spectrum, from the democratic rhythms of zeitgeist appropriate techno and house through to more avant-garde synthwork.

This next guest has cast a large shadow over the technosphere, so large in fact, that no introduction could fully encompass the breadth of his achievements. But in brief: Ben Klock is a titan whose formative years were spent playing marathon mixes to the crowds at Berlin’s (then recently opened) Berghain. Off the back of his endurance sets and the club’s success he became a household name whose influence grew to be felt across the world, with a body of work that includes appearances at an exhaustive list of clubs and festivals, a number of hot releases on Ostgut Ton and an equally respected self-run label (Klockworks) to boot. On this second imprint, his own productions have repeatedly seen the light of day, alongside those from the likes of DVS1, Sterac, Stef Mendesidis and younger talents like Temudo and Vil & Cravo. The sound, ubiquitous as it is, will be familiar to anyone involved in the world of electronic music and there’s good reason for that: Klock’s deep and percussive work and ability to pull from a wide range of influences have earmarked him as a unique agent for the techno cause. Atmospheric and delivered with hammering force, Klock’s refined palette for rhythms is as relevant now as ever. Bassiani Podcast 200 is a measure of driving loops and purist textures, dexterous and provocative techno from start to finish, simply put: a banger

Reclaim Your City 586 | Sev Dah (Helsingborg)

Bosnian-born, Sweden-based producer and jockey Sev Dah has been carving a niche truly personal and distinctive into techno’s growingly standardized on and off-stage realm. Boss of his own imprint, Proletarijat, with releases for Mote-Evolver, Random Island or K S R under his belt, Sev has been pushing wares both entrancingly hi-NRG (a nod to the early Schranz heroes) and ruggedly abrasive. The result is an effervescing mishmash of rabid uptempo drives, screwed melodies and fiery rhythmic grids, ready to leave all ravers knocked askew.

Oh what a time to be alive! The random app just said that virtual pleasures with dj’s playing less than 160 BPM is cringe content and won’t put that on Tok Tik … but what even is that? You’re an AI, you can have whatever experience known to AI kind at your binary silicone finger tips. In fact you’re having it right now, your favourite AI dj playing top 1024 AI generated Tok Tik techno tracks, you’re in the most established techno cluster in the net, and what is most important the latest and most hip exploit just started messing with your tired AI core. This is gonna be your night!

The 7th release on RWETES label once again shows Piotr Figiel's individual ways of techno. His deep sound, funky grooves and sound design full of textures already found the home in the playlists of the most established techno artists like Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, B Riley, Marrøn, Rene Wise, Funk D'Void and many more. 
RWETES in polish means "noise", "mess", "racket" and that's what Piotr's music is about, the diversity, different inspirations, different styles and flavours not restricted by current most hip trends or gimmicks. That plus extreme attention to details, some tongue in cheek commentary in titles and artworks completing the music with visual side make RWETES releases something special in modern world of techno.

Reclaim Your City 588 | Dustin Zahn (Berlin)

Active since the turn of the millennium, Wisconsin-born / Berlin-based DJ and producer Dustin Zahn has been trading some of the most consistently powerful techno blends over the past twenty years. Incisive and empowering, his sound epitomizes the perfect balance between strenuous, big-room-focussed wares and an acute sensibility for the sharpest sound design. Throughout an endless flow of grade-A heaters for some of the scene's most highly-regarded imprints, including Blueprint, Rekids and his own record label, Enemy, Zahn has been sculpting a body of work both ebulliently intense and future-facing, never quite resting on his laurels but throwing all of his nerve and energy into staying relevant in the age of disposability. Ageless, boundless.
