Bassiani Records
@bassiani

-----------------
BASDGTL001 marks a critical point of departure for Bassiani Records with a covetable line up of techno greats including Polygonia, Wata Igarashi, Kancheli, Magna Pia, Nihad Tule, Kerrie, DJ Maria., Zesknel, Zadig, Dimi Angelis and Aleja Sanchez. Each of these talents, from established pedigree to young blood, from the widely traveled to more local, brings their own voice to bear for this carefully curated release: a seamless work that groans and reverberates, with the steady kick of a racing bassline throughout. From Wata’s strange and disorienting synths, to club resident Kancheli’s subversive electronics on Every Day in a Struggle, and Magna Pia’s tense and achromatic compositions through Angelis’ high pressure techno, every mood has a moment, and the evolution from first track to last will keep you firmly on the edge of your seat. But no need to sit, this is pure fuel for raving. Though each of these artists has their own wildly different spirit and vision for which direction your night-time adventures should take, this release unites them under a single banner, in a collage that reflects the eclectic and forward-looking nature of the label. Slamming beats and slick productions, this 11 tracker expertly channels Bassiani’s ethos and sound.

Following up on the Hayal EP in 2023, Dutch techno refractor Konduku makes a welcome return to Bitta with another four cuts of prismatic club fuel. Throughout his consistent output Ruben Üvez applies non-standard ideas to the techno formula, toying with rhythm and eliciting transcendental atmospheres from unusual patterns.

This mode of exploration continues unabated on Gazoz, with the title track in particular leaning on a full-frequency, one-note synth pulse which dominates the mix and becomes truly hypnotic in its relentless presence. In the wrong hands it would come off garish, but Üvez knows how to weave subtlety around such forthright sonics to create a sublime sonic experience. 'Mikros' aligns with Konduku's more recognisable palette — taut, bell-like rhythmic threads that balance delicacy and impact while tunnelling into mysterious, introspective zones.

Aimed squarely at the heads-down section of the night, 'Luna' strides forth with a decisive dub techno palette and finds space for expression and progression in the most linear of arrangements. In true B2 style, 'Inici' rounds the EP out with a more fractured approach centred on reversed kicks and psychoactive arps riding wide and slow pitch bends for a mind-melting finish running at a formidable pace.

As well as showcasing Konduku at his best, the sound on Gazoz serves as an extension of Bitta boss DJ Nobu's own particular tastes in techno — brain-tweaking machine music crafted from supple parts, honed for the club without being limited by it.

01 Konduku - Gazoz -Snippet

Without endings, beginnings lose their purpose. Slowing down doesn’t mean stopping—it means opening up, making space for what was and what’s to come. The paradox is that in letting go, you find what was meant for you all along, bringing you knowledge that one is inherently connected with the other. This mix is intentionally but equipping you to be the main character of the chapter. The horizon is wide open for you to fall into.

Rising from the shadows comes a 90-minute blend of hang-tough beats for this latest in the Bassiani Podcast series. This one comes by way of Kaytseng, a Taiwanese transplant in the Netherlands who cut her teeth down under while playing Melbourne’s local circuit. Though the Amsterdam relocation’s only two years old, the move’s already budding a promising path for her sinister sound and bringing her into the European techno fold. Think merciless fast-trance, gritty and thrashing sounds that pack a punch with every beat, it’s a measure of brutal craftwork for footloose and die-hard raving, tough and highly physical. Her warpspeed tempos are racking up a following, and her Berghain debut as part of the CRUDE roster’s reared a long-term residency with the Berlin label to boot. Her sets are fun and quick on the draw and this latest one’s not afraid to show it. Kaytseng delivers an hour and a half of pulse-quickening rhythms that ramp up and roll to the hilt for Bassiani Podcast 262, rattling clicks and primeval bass, apocalypse ready techno that’s breathing fresh life into the global scene. The future of sound is fast approaching and this Taiwan selector’s both emergent defender and catalysing force.
