Local Heroes: Janvier - Juin 2025

Dear listeners, this month we are extremely happy to share a special set with you—a recorded memory that captures the essence of a beautiful night spent among friends in the woods.

This mix, crafted by Münch and Outburst Knobs, was recorded live during our last event in collaboration with our beloved Acquario team.

A few words about the journey you're about to embark on: 
The mix begins with deep and tribal grooves, perfectly suited to the wild forest setting of that night. As the set progresses and the dancefloor becomes a vibrant melting pot, the sound gradually evolves, touching on more psychedelic and euphoric territories.

If you still don’t know @munchstream, @outburst_knobs and the team @acquarioimmersioni …well, you should! 

"Acquario Immersioni" is a renowned electronic music collective based in Milan, recognized for organizing immersive and underground techno events. These events often take place in unique and intimate venues like Masada and Amelia, known for their carefully curated lineups featuring both local and international DJs, focusing on deep, hypnotic techno and creating a sensory experience that resonates with the audience long after the night is over.

Recorded live from Fold, London for the Re:sistance on April 25th 2025. 

It was a true honour playing in the main room on one of my favorite sound systems ever. This set will forever be burnt into my memory as its one of the most enjoyable time I've had behind the decks. Big love and thanks for the Fold team for listening and allowing my the privalege to play in the main room. 

Comment for IDs, I won't gate-keep. I'll make download available at 100,000,000 likes.

All for the sake of the sound,

Psyk is a key player in Spanish techno, an acclaimed talent with firm emphasis on deep, repetitive loops. He has become synonymous with high-quality, trippy and smart as a tack rhythms. For the last two decades since he started out on Madrid’s clandestine rave beat, he’s developed and advanced a sound to near perfection: raw and technically agile, pelagic echoes from the abyss that have shifted with their changing times. 2011 saw him launch the widely renowned Non Series, a platform releasing the work of similar vein artists like DJ Nobu, Architectural, Neel, Nastia Reigel, Tauceti, Blawan, Luigi Tozzi, Function and Rrose, generating buzz and ardent following. His own releases on labels like Mote Evolver, Semantica and Tresor, intermittent forays on his own label under the alias Maan, as well as his co-project Second Skin (est. 2022) alongside fellow Madrileño Oscar Mulero have been slowly gaining traction in a contemporary music landscape replete with talent. Though the rate of productions is decelerating his touring schedule marches forward at full tilt, adding recent Bassiani dates to those at a list of must-play venues like Fabric, Berghain, Fuse, Tresor and Amsterdam’s shuttered DeSchool. His expert drones and algorithmic beat patterns are in a process of continuing evolution and whatever comes next is sure to be even better than his already outstanding catalogue of work. Bassiani Podcast 258 is an 80-minute expedition into a murky world of Psyk’s design, sweeping and purist techno from this heavyweight selector.

Sonoral Resistance

In a worldwide moment that most of people that consume art prefer to do it in a faster and superficial way here is a sonoral trip of two hours that propose resisting the immediacy and disposable consumption of art. A exploration of patience and looping including sounds and textures that inspires me to make music that feels alive.

Act 1: Textural proposal 
Act 2: Introducing loop and periodic stuff breaking the cycle
Act 3: Becoming matter

Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.

Reclaim Your City 656 | Arkan

Ivory

A dark, hypnotic blend of progressive tribal house and techno. Ritual hand-drums and deep sub-bass weave into evolving polyrhythms, creating a brooding, trance-like groove with communal dance energy.

Asvara

Driven by a heavy, distorted bassline and evolving high tones, Erode keeps steady tension from start to finish. The track builds pressure through minimal structure and precise modulation.
