DRIFT KYIV - Setaoc Mass | HÖR - Mar 1 / 2023

Function’s tale begins with a gregarious mother who would keep him occupied as rookie selector for neighbourhood gatherings while growing up in Brooklyn and New Jersey. Music was his world, and it wasn’t long before he found himself standing in awe before Jeff Mills in 90s NYC at the infamous nerve centre of Club Kid hedonism Limelight, where he went on to pick up a Thursday-night residency himself. Few DJs can claim to have been around during such a moment in club history, but ten years later came another. His friendships with Regis, Silent Servant and Female turned into the much acclaimed collective Sandwell District, a pivotal sound for an era that forced everyone’s attention towards Berlin. There he became Berghain resident and played a role in shaping the club’s fabled musical opus. In the years since (and following Sandwell’s dissolution) he’s matured in his own right, with a number of mesmeric releases (most recently ‘Green EP’ released on his self-run imprint Infrastructure back in May), collaborations with the likes of Vatican Shadow, Luke Slater and Steve Bicknell, a heavy touring schedule that criss-crosses the world at rapid clip and Bassiani residency to boot. Function’s techno is an ambient fog in which sinister arctic synths and perilous rhythms collide to produce an exquisite fusion that would be hard to mistake for anyone else. Those grainy textures, subterranean ripples and punishing kick drums are a hypnotic rework of his many influences: 90s loops with a more modern and sharper industrial edge. Bassiani Podcast 186 is an impassioned live-recording from the club that weaves through a number of hammering tracks and steadily climbs towards its furious climax. A hair-raising three-hour beast courtesy of this decorated techno behemoth.

REC 27 w/ Arthur Robert

On September 14th, in Summer's last breath, we welcomed Arthur Robert in Room 01. He's grown to be a steady yearly addition to our nights. Leading us on a tension-packed trip with subtle technical mixing, escaping reality for a brief but ecstatic two hours. From spaced-out synth work to deep rolling bass, and storytelling at its finest. Enjoy this 27th iteration of our recorded at Fuse series, now available on SoundCloud.

Arthur Robert — Recorded live at Fuse (14/09/24)

GiGi FM is the 433rd guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

This mix is a cosmic, spiraling journey ~ a meditation on movement, intensity, and expansion. Opening and closing with the mantra Per aspera, ad astra (“through hardships to the stars”), GiGi FM wanted to invite listeners to surrender, transcend, and travel beyond the visible ~ where words dissolve and sound begins to speak ~ to move us in ways language never could.

Perhaps even reach that liminal space where mind, body, and soul dance in sync.

Please forgive the sound quality!! ..

this was recorded inside the club with a stereo mic recorder. The recording is at times a bit distorted and at times decent enough... but does capture the momentum of the mix and the atmosphere of the room especially the thunderous Berghain sound system
