Gegen x Pornceptual x RSO/2023 NYE set

Oslo trance outfit Accelerationism is the brainchild of Marius Bø & Teo Bachs, whose trippy, high-energy sounds were born back in 2017 as a series of open-air woodland raves. The Norwegian duo are co-founders of the Ute Collective, an umbrella sobriquet spearheading their current charge alongside other artists with forest gathering division Uteklubb and imprint Ute.Rec (and sublabels Sinensis and Translusid for a deeper dive into ambient-, hardtrance as well as Goa). The pair are even known to distribute their music as mix CDs from time to time, an appropriately authentic and tangible format for a 90s sound having such a profound resurgence in a world dominated by digital media. There’s clearly a lot on their plate, and that’s maybe not so surprising: the same passion the duo pours into their many projects is manifested by a diligent and lightning-fast brand of trance - this rabble-rousing duo has energy in abundance. Bassiani Podcast 175 channels Marius and Teo’s firebrand spirit and clandestine forest gatherings with emotive nostalgia as well as fresh and radical optimism. This mix consists of unreleased nordic trance for a dazzling and uncertain future.

Bassiani invites Accelerationism / Podcast #175

Head of the newly minted, queer identifying VRAAA label and a celebrated protagonist on Berlin’s most sexually liberated dancefloor, Pornceptual, Projekt Gestalten is the identity of Brazilian techno producer and DJ, Diego Garcia. Exploring pornography as an artform with the Pornceptual collective for more than five years now, their ringside promotion of events and parties globally has seen Garcia’s divergent agenda encourage and inspire its guests to freely explore their sexuality. It took to a point where a recent Boiler Room in partnership with the collective was deemed too explicit for YouTube before finding vindication on PornHub.

Adorning their DJ sets in various forms of white wedding dresses and baroque embroidery, Projekt Gestalten’s sexual-kinks, queer desire and bold feminine spirit flaunts a unrivaled promiscuity of tongue-in-cheek tawdry that’s pushing techno music and its artistic, sexual appetites that much further. A figurehead within Berlin’s queer techno scene, and diamond in the rough of ‘twenty-tens’ Netlabel culture, Projekt Gestalten’s exploratory conquest of melodic, harmonic and hypnotic sounds is starting to spread around.

Having found pride of place as an established entity controlling soundtracks at risque nightspots and parties the world over - namely making their way through London, St. Petersburg and New York to Sao Paulo and Paris - Diego Garcia’s emergence from the obscure raves of Berlin and its presiding internet culture now sees the artist, with a burgeoning discography and remix catalogue for the reckoning, as an out and loud center stage presence and trailblazing queer, music identity.

For this week's DETECT, we welcome the Berlin-based artist @vanivachi.

Vani Vachi is a DJ and producer originating from Kyiv. She is also a resident of the queer party Veselka. Her music taste has been shaped internationally, starting from her early years in London and further refined as an important part of Kyiv’s rising scene. There, she curated parties such as Outside and Gems at the club Otel’.

Her sets are always unique and unpredictable, with a strong preference for 90s and 2000s flavors, a mixture of broken and straight beats, classical acid basslines, and groovy sounds. Being a front-row dancer herself, she knows that the journey is what is always needed throughout the night. When performing, she always takes the dancefloors through a metamorphosis of layers, textures, and kicks.

Since the beginning of her rising career a few years back, Vani Vachi has already performed on all major dancefloors across Ukraine, such as Brave! Factory and ICKPA festivals. She has also shared her music around Europe and is a regular at Berlin’s Pornceptual events.

Her recent release of the first 8-track EP on Diffuse Reality Records shows a contemporary approach to old-school trance, techno, and electro references. It further solidifies Vani Vachi's position as an up-and-coming artist in the world of club music.

You can listen to Vani Vachi’s DETECT now via our FOLD SoundCloud.
