We've been waiting for this for a while, so here's a very special Halloween treat, a 2-hour harvest straight from Carl's amazing set last Friday from our joint party at Hoppetosse. 🌀🌀🌀

@Moopie joins us for the mix series this week. Beijing-born, Melbourne-based, the A Colourful Storm label founder and NTS Radio resident has fast become one of dance music's most hotly tipped DJ's. Recent b2b's with the likes of Helena Hauff and Ben UFO attest to his serious pedigree. For DIM 296, we find Moopie in groovy form, running an array of lush house and breaks over 65-minutes.

Joining us for Tapes #115 is ERIS, a Berlin-based duo formed by Enrica Falqui and Dea. Two souls from different musical histories met on a simple night out. They instantly connected and their taste and passion spiralled into production and mixing sessions. Their debut EP was released on CABARET Recordings and with that Moments EP was created.

Enrica Falqui represents the Sardinian half of ERIS. Her journey begins somewhere in 2009, when she started to create music and DJ. The years that followed were filled with contributions to dance culture with her DJ sets, alias productions, and her own record label. Dea represents the Croatian half of ERIS. A woman who has danced on all floors and experienced many memorable musical journeys. Born into a family of musicians, Deawas dancing before walking and playing piano before she could write.

Quest's RA Podcast starts slowly, with a thrum of synths that feels like watching a rocket take off in slow motion. Before you know it, you're in outer space, floating through zero gravity with waves of synths and gentle breakbeats. The Italian DJ is a premiere selector in the world of digging for rare records, but his outré taste shouldn't be confused with willful obscurity. He's a beloved DJ partly because of his approachability. There's a serene, early '90s feel to RA.915 that's reminiscent of some of the earliest and best ambient techno.

When he's not DJing, Quest runs the label La Nota Del Diablo. He's only put out two records, including this year's Red Tears EP from his dear friend (and fellow esteemed DJ) Christian AB, which RA's Henry Ivry described as "a careful balance of late-night tension and early morning twilight." That's not a bad way to describe Quest's RA Podcast—if it's not a soundtrack for an astral journey, then it's perfect for an afterhours, for when the laid-back vibes come to a simmer for one last stretch of dancing.

The next episode in our podcast series comes from a globe-trotting Belgian deejay on the rise. Antwerp-born, Berliner for a few years and recently settled down in our favourite city: Brussels. Lola Haro doesn’t need much of an introduction. She has been playing dance floors all over the world from Mexico to London, Milan to Paris, Tbilisi to Bucharest. Over a year ago her own record label and party concept called Small Steps blossomed, a home to delicate, floaty club music of all kinds. 

But Rome wasn’t built in a day: from a very early age, Lola was brought up in a musical nest, surrounded by Antwerp’s “creme de la creme” of the house music scene and calling the legendary record shop Wally’s Groove World her second home during her childhood. Suffice it to say Lola is influenced by the old-school generation of club music fanatics, party gurus and diamond city fashionistas. Standing next to the dj booth as a teenager checking those spinning records, sliding faders and eq knobs and coming of age as a club music observer that smoothly but surely became a world-known dj. 

While Lola has been flying high the last couple of years, playing big stages and festivals, she’s always kept her feet firmly set in the underground. We’ve been friends for some time and we share conversations about common personal questions like the search for identity in music, mental dj health, and the balance between the dance music business and the underground electronic world.

This mix has been in the making for some time and the result is a magnificent deep trip into her musical universe. I’m very glad to share this with you all. Thanks a lot for your effort and time spent recording this mix Lola, I wish you a bright future ahead. One foot in, one foot out, always taking lots of small but important steps.

The Basic Moves Of ... LOLA HARO

DJ Masda is a seasoned selector renowned for his deep excursions in house and techno. Born and raised at the foot of Mount Fuji, his path has taken him out from the shadow of the sacred mountain, through Osaka, and placed him firmly in the nerve centre of European techno, Berlin. He made his first steps in the 90s, spinning expertly chosen vinyls and developing a keen ear for subtler details that quickly got him noticed. In the decades since, he’s been busy building a body of work that includes playing at some of the world’s most revered venues and running his very own label and club series Cabaret with So Inagawa. Under their imprint,  he’s primarily focused on giving a platform to friends, those with whom he shares a personal connection and whose music brings something fresh and fun to the label; this fraternity of musical souls are hard at work to bring the very best of the Cabaret sound to market. Here, Masda’s own signature mix is made manifest for Bassiani Podcast 199: a patiently crafted three-hour dive into eerie electro, bouncy house, even a peppering of Italo nostalgia, recorded live at Horoom’s season close last July. A perfect end to summer and a perfect start to a new year, an act that’ll be hard to follow.

Of all the Berlin DJs who make a living spinning strange, I'm-not-sharing-the-tracklist kind of records, Sugar Free, originally hailing from Madrid, might be the most fun. She plays bold, colourful tracks with an air of sci-fi and sleaze, somewhere between Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house. (Her Dimensions Mix last year was one of our favourites of 2023.) She's the kind of DJ who messes with your perception of genres and tempos by how she blends tracks together, and also a DJ with a rare grasp of mixing melodies and moods—just check out the first transition of this RA Podcast for a spine-tingling example.

Sugar Free doesn't speak much publicly, and you won't find a lot about her on the internet. She prefers to let her DJing speak for itself. And her RA Podcast says a lot: proggy basslines, heart-in-mouth descents into reverb-heavy breakdowns, eerie vocals and a general feel of psychedelia and '80s decadence. It's difficult to tell what era these records are from, which is part of the charm. For a bonus point, try and pick out two just-completed Sugar Free originals, some of her first productions ever after her debut track came out on Limousine Dream in 2022.
