Smoke Machine Podcast 145 Accelerationism

With over 10,000 records to his name, DJ Nobu is deeply immersed in a wealth of sounds ranging from uncomplicated club anthems to those more experimental in nature. His Future Terror parties, hypnotising sets and lean catalogue have largely cultivated a reputation for menacing techno, though lucky for his fans he’s just as adept when it comes to upbeat house. For this, his second Bassiani Podcast outing, the latter takes the stage with the Japanese polymath delivering a three hour set of light and playful beats recorded live at Horoom in early April. Mixing everything from cheesy disco to tropical synths, this is a breath of fresh air from the sought-after cult figure from Chiba.

This mix is a rare showcase of my love for House music, a side people dont normally hear me delve into. That being said, Techno and House have always been related and one doesnt exist without the other!

Mala Junta rabble rousers DJ Tool and D.Dan are up next for Zenaari Mix 010, but leave your biases at the door because this isn’t their usual high-speed mischief. In the vein of Zenaari’s hallmark off-kilter electronics the Berlin based pair are here instead to take you on a journey within. This one’s less for warehouse raving, more for solo spiritual contemplation: an invitation to probe the subconscious and transcend material experience. It’s a thorough exploration of their ambient predilections that range from featherlight textures to faded melodies that lilt like waves on a metaphysical shore. This liminal collage of gentle lullabies and acoustic murmurs is soft and a touch plaintive, but warm and loving all the same. Invoking everything from glitchy IDM to ballads that bend towards the strange and pineal, a technicolor dream sequence conjured up by this offbeat techno double-act.

Next up in our mix series is Zitto & Zurkin, two central figures and cornerstones in the Tbilisi-scene. Zitto is a resident at Bassiani, and is turning into one of the most intriguing figures for the local clubbing sphere, with his level of selection and world building. Zurkin is another central figure of the Tbilisi community, being the co-founder of Vodkast Records, both an imprint and Tbilisi vinyl oasis for fervid record lovers.

In this episode we are presenting a marathon live recording of their closing set from Bassiani, January 27th. Dive into this 9,5 hour ride, where they navigate between trance and psychedelic techno from the past three decades. Steering seamlessly through rolling chuggers, trippy euphoria and wormhole trance, Zitto and Zurkin are a truly fruitful symbiosis.

A surefire provider of deep, complex weapons for the dance floor and beyond, French-born, Berlin-based artist Kangding Ray has been minting some of the most strikingly unique techno records in recent memory. His body of work for some of the most reputed record labels out there, including Raster Noton, Stroboscopic Artefacts and his own outlet, ara, cuts an introspective path, halfway modular-leaning escapology and beat-driven abstraction. From his background in architecture, his musical approach retains that fondness for structure and the creation, or re-creation of space, both as an actual object and a mental projection. Immerse yourself into KR's minutely designed headspace with this two-hour deep and intimate audio dive.

The rubber hits the road for a studio mix like no other and British selector IMOGEN’s in the driving seat. Her roots in Southampton and later London are the funnel through which her urban-inflected frequencies travel, an articulation of years spent listening to The Prodigy, Ellen Allien and Umwelt, dark-electro with allusions to UK bass. At a mere 16 years old, she moved to the Big Smoke to study Music Tech, became a regular on Radar Radio and was playing in the booth at Berghain a short two years later, with a Fabric residency quickly in tow. 2022 saw her debut EP out on Voitax, an enthusiastically received five track gem that wore her love of breaks and monolith techno confidently. She’s now both Tresor and NTS Radio resident and founder of Wigs, an online hub through which she helps peers connect turned event series and music label. There’s too much to cover before catching your breath really, but it’s openness to experience and energy, not age, that pay the highest dividends. Thoroughly steeped in these internet times, IMOGEN has found a voice that breaks through the wall of endless and indistinguishable sounds and delivers on a pledge to get crowds moving. Bassiani Podcast does that, rattling beats that shapeshift to the breaks weighted sounds synonymous with a UK upbringing, this is a call back to corporeal experience. A 90-minute direct line to the essence of techno from one of the UK’s most promising names.

KHIDI Podcast 160: Alfred Czital

A new set from the Before The Curfew series, performed by Chontane at Ground Floor on December 7, 2024, is now available on our SoundCloud.

For his Ground Floor selection, the dj leaned into slower rhythms and minimalist sound—music that unfolds gradually, inviting a subtle shift from light to darkness. Chontane dug into tracks from the 2000s and 2010s, chasing a sound that blends naturally into the space and lets the story unfold without rush or pressure.

Before the Curfew is a series of music podcasts that emerged in 2022 after the reopening of the club following the liberation of the Kyiv region. All recordings presented in this series take place before midnight before the curfew begins. Before the Curfew offers a vibrant snapshot of the Ukrainian music scene amidst challenging times, celebrating resilience, creativity, and unity through music.
____________

Новий сет із серії «Before The Curfew», зіграний Chontane на Ground Floor 7 грудня 2024 року, вже доступний у нас на SoundCloud.

У своїй добірці для Ground Floor диджей заглибився у сповільнені ритми й мінімалістичне звучання — музику, яка відкривається поступово, ніби запрошує пройти шлях від світла до темряви. Chontane звернувся до треків з 2000-х і 2010-х, шукаючи звучання, що органічно вплітається в простір і дозволяє історії розгортатися без поспіху й тиску.

Before the Curfew — це серія музичних подкастів, що з'явилася у 2022 році після відкриття клубу та визволення Київщини. Усі записи, представлені в цій серії, проводяться до півночі, перед початком комендантської години. Before the Curfew — це відображення сучасної української музичної сцени в умовах викликів, що стоять перед нею.
