How It Feels

HÖR - Love On The Rocks - Paramida B2B Alex Kassian - August 24 2023

If anyone can capture the vibes of NACHTI, it's Elias Mazian. He's been a fixture and a friends to Olganitz for many years. You could recognize one of his sets with your eyes closed; @eliasmazian loves blending top influences with house, always with a touch of sentimentality and never veering into the cheesy territory (well, sometimes. A little.). Not only is Elias a fantastic DJ, but he's also a gifted producer, as he demonstrated with the "NV02" vinyl release on Nachtiville, a few copies of which you can still find in our shop. On the lakeside stage, he undoubtedly created plenty of hands-up moments, and we hope his set can still bring a smile to your face even now.

Fantastic Man - Wildeburg Festival 2023

Before moving to San Francisco, Iranian-Canadian artist AIDA got her start in one of the world's more unlikely, yet nourishing, rave scenes tucked away in the southwest corner of Canada: Vancouver. There, amongst the basement raves, forest parties and yeast-perfumed gigs on top of bakeries, she found a home amidst a small but strong scene of record-digging minimal lovers, finding power in their pure passion for music. This is where she started, though over time her sound has developed along with a lot of the minimal scene, touching on electro, breaks and progressive house.

The latter is the focus of her RA Podcast, which comes amidst a year-long sabbatical from her dayjob to focus on music. It seems like the extra time is paying off: she's playing out more than ever, around the world, and playing more kinds of music, too. This mix revolves entirely around her love for the original wave of progressive house, gathered from records chosen over a period of weeks and then put together with a firm but idiosyncratic touch, as she explains below. It's as much a testament to the timelessness of this music as the cyclical nature of dance music, though it's also a bit of history lesson, a reminder of the broad world of sounds and rhythms beyond the au courant revival.

When she's not DJing, AIDA also runs a record label rooted in activism around her Iranian heritage. Inspired partly by the Woman Life Freedom movement in Iran, her imprint Apranik Records focuses on artists of Iranian and Persian heritage from the country and across the diaspora, as well as raising money for charities and nonprofits.

And once again the end of the year catches us completely off guard. Who would have expected the year to have so few days? We are busy shaking out the bowling alley and getting the beds warm for the arrival of this year's residents of our cozy Nachtiville. 

We're already testing the floors and Cromby (@cromby) has kneaded us a mix from the finest of his record bags. The crowd favorite will be playing on THE TANGLE floor, one of our new floors, in January. Until then, sweeten your time with his Nachtipod, full of booty shaking tunes and a wild, great mix of house and acid. Have fun listening in!
