Part of the all-female collective RA+RE, Parisian artist Melody proves that it is not a case of girl power but that women artists are just as capable as the lads when it comes to unearthing gems and smashing them out. The RA+RE crew in force is a sight to behold but a sole set from Melody will blow up any party.

Bringing a 90’s tinged edge to her performances and her booking schedule has blown up because of it. Shifting between dream house to more upfront breaks and bass heavy house jams Melody has such a keen ear for uplifting tracks. We couldn’t wait to have her do her thing for us and we are delighted to welcome her to our InSession podcast series.

Melody - Trommel InSession 057

Standing out in the overcrowded DJ world is not easy. To do so when you're just 17 is almost unbelievable. But that is when Belgian-born AliA (@aliamusicc) first started making people take note of her fresh selections and technical skills on the decks. They were way beyond her years and since then she has gone on to become a resident at Belgium’s HORST Festival and a guest at the likes of Worldwide, Dimensions and Lowlands. 

This week's mix is pure vibes. It shows off AliA's ability to seamlessly join dots between seemingly disparate sounds: in her hands a transition from lo-fi house to breezy jazz-funk is easy. A lush vocal cut into dark and dirty bass rhythms? No problem. It all adds up to a selection that will be suited to any occasion, from a pre-party warm-up at home to a long drive in your car. Good music is good music, no matter the speed or style, and never is that more obvious than when listening to AliA do her thing.

The last ZeeZout Co-Orientations contribution of the year 2021 by @dtmfunk, on invitation by @philoulouzolo

Some serious heat from Belgium by Kiosk Radio Resident and Horst Festival artist David 'DTM Funk' Tricot. With this mix DTM Funk will move you through soul, grooves, rhythms and more! 

When he isn’t DJing - (or dancing) - you will probably find DTM hosting underground parties or signing new artists for his own record label San-Kofa Rhythms, which literally translates to: ‘’Go back and get it’’. 

Swipe left and read more about the recording process. Enjoy listening and see you in 2022!

As often extensively touring as he is on the quest for new sounds (‘the iron fence in front of the studio’, ‘the wooden door in the toilet’ among other samples), or building instruments from scratch with his pals (see Modular Organ System), Phillip Sollmann’s experimental zeal underscores a conceptual framework that reveals a collage of influences as broad as Basic Channel, Francis Bacon, Japan or the room he’s sitting in. This often amounts to smooth and genre-busting segues on Dial, Curle and Ostgut Ton. For Bassiani Podcast 120, the German neutoner challenges and surprises with an hour of osmotic and textural 4/4 techno, twilight arps and fidgety basslines. Efdemin at his very best.

AliA is driven by a fierce and passionate love for a variety of genres. Each time she's able to seamlessly craft an uncompromising and genre-hopping story, without losing coherence or verve. She’s a resident at HORST Festival, a regular at the C12 club in Brussels and has a monthly show on Kiosk Radio. Enjoy!

Jasmín (@jasminhoek) is one of the latest talents to emerge from the ever-fertile Amsterdam scene. Like many of her generation, she is impossible to pin down with genre restrictions. She is bold and adventurous in her selections and has played everywhere from South Africa to New York where she unites club, techno, bass and plenty more with her elastic DJ style and knack for exciting rhythms. During the
lockdown, Jasmín kept busy by getting to grips with Ableton so expect to hear some debut productions soon, but before that comes this week's mix.

It's a muscular workout that threads together warped bass lines and slithering synths. A tribal element to the pounding drums speaks to our primeval urge to dance while psychedelic sounds wave their way in later as things get deeper and more involved. Despite the very different worlds from which these tracks are drawn, there is seamless mixing throughout which makes the trip all the more hypnotic.

As @sleepd, childhood friends Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have greatly helped shape Melbourne's underground scene over the last decade. Between them, they have Iraqi and Maltese heritage and put out music on the likes of Incienso, Play On and Cocktail d'Amore Music as well as their own blog/party/label Butter Sessions. Like their expressive live show, it explores "the rave unconscious" so think everything from dreamy pads to driving rhythms, gritty electro to cosmic techno. 

This week's podcast is a superb showcase of their style: a mix that is constantly on the move, building momentum as rhythms go from elastic and bouncy to more driving and sleek. Percussion is perfectly sprinkled in to give extra texture, while nebulous synths add the colour as the pressure builds and builds. This is physical, psychedelic, emotional, trance-inducing electronic music that follows the familiar arc of a well-executed mix but in all new and unfamiliar ways.

Through his Black Gravity events, he aims to represent and transform black club music via club nights, discussions, films, performances, exhibitions, and listening sessions. As a longtime resident of Horst and C12 clubs, he is known for his versatility, seamlessly blending soul, groove, and rhythm without being confined to a single genre. Founder of @sankofa_rhythms , he captivates audiences with an eclectic collection ranging from jazz funk/soul to raw, sexy house tracks.

The long road to Horst: AliA’s residency.

Horst was never 'just' a festival—it’s always been a place where artists grow alongside the community. Few artists embody that evolution as clearly as AliA, a day-one visitor who grew into one of Horst’s most versatile and respected resident DJs.

This year, AliA plays a special role in launching the Horst Peloton – a collective bike ride to the festival in collaboration with Bosch eBike Systems. Not only did she contribute a new mix to mark the occasion, she’ll also perform a live DJ set during the Peloton’s first day, soundtracking the riders’ journey to Asiat Park.

We sat down with AliA to talk about her memories of the early days, her growth alongside the festival, and the beauty of taking the long road—whether behind the decks or on two wheels.

AliA: a Horst tribute

DTM Funk at Dark Skies, Horst Arts & Music 2025

For the newest instalment, i'm really happy to welcome the incredible Brussels-based AliA (@aliamusicc). The local mainstay is a regular on Kiosk radio and runs her own label - @artisjokrecords. Alyah, better known as AliA,  has an exciting & unique approach to dj'ing. She is known for her blend of contemporary club music with jazz, classical and experimental sounds. 

I find AliA's musical outputs incredibly refreshing - the kind of artist who reminds you what a really good DJ can do - they can present genres & sounds to you that you'd otherwise maybe not typically explore, in a new and exciting way. For her Animix, Alyah has gone for an intensely chill blend of ambient & immersive music, with minimal, glitchy, dub techno, jazz, classical sounds and more.

Thank you so much for the mix Alyah <3
