Yet another talent hailing from the Georgian capital: Shin label boss Newa kicks off our next episode with her left-field strain of aquatic beats. If she hasn’t crossed your radar yet, the Bassiani resident could do soon. Since 2012, Newa’s experimental productions and makeshift sets have been making her presence felt all over this town. That’s changed a little with the pandemic (and becoming a mother), which makes this rare recording, her first set in a while, all the more special. Stay tuned for an incomparable gem: cheeky millennial euphoria, acid frequencies, apoplectic basslines, this one’s got it all.

KHIDI Podcast NR.67: Neux

Newa is now one of BASEMENT’s first residents. Her BASEMENT mix kicks the series off with a bang. Her set exemplifies techno at its rushing, futuristic best. Churning with a fleet-footed defiance, these 65 minutes show her firing on all cylinders. Describing the club, she says: “The first time I entered it, it felt like home. I try to choose very special tracks to play in BASEMENT, because there are not many clubs where I feel at home. The intimacy of BASEMENT is unique.”

Kancheli - HATE Podcast 324

Previous Podcast guests Ndrx and Newa return to the series with Bassiani Podcast 168, a b2b live set recorded back at the club in early March. These twin flames are faithful custodians of the Georgian scene and not for nothing. Independently, the duo have a discernible in-your-face spirit all their own, but together they make for a formidable pair whose sound for sore ears is thrilling and instinctual. Their surging techno bouts are the result of a flawless combo that sprints between slamming beats and underwater echoes with a kindling tempo designed to pique your primal senses. Watch this space, the duo’s skull sessions are reciprocal spellwork in the making, and who knows what they’ll summon up next.

At the helm for this next one is local-grown whizz kid Natia Pailodze. She’s the recondite face behind the decks at Horoom, without so much as a flinch, spinning ice-cool sounds that gradually scale and make an intimate home of whatever space they might fill. Her unadulterated techno steers clear of typical tropes and delivers something keenly personal, intelligent loops that playfully coil and dance with their pliant crowd. As for Bassiani Podcast 169: she’s just as ingenious in the studio, gradually building a complex palette of off-kilter tunes and drumloops of the most persistent stripe. This rising tide is coursing along at her own speed, a force fated for big things: this hour long segue is just Olly breaking ground.

After her absolute masterclass of a set at our ''We Are Not Alone'' 1st of May Weekender earlier this year, we are extremely excited to welcome Newa's contribution to our podcast series! Flawless!

For Newa, when DJing, the emotional guidance she uses to locate the structure of her set is key. She builds something that has all the ingredients of classic techno and at the same time perfectly mirrors its present sound. She explores the low-level end of the bass-spectrum as well as cunningly introducing squelchy acid together with intense melodies. Newa’s techno is direct with an intense presence, yet never forceful or intrusive.

We are happy to deliver you a vinyl only set by our residents: Ndrx B2B Kancheli. Recorded during our 5 year anniversary party, you'll get the vibe. Starting off with dirty duty and raw ghetto house vibes, the escalation to full-grown rave ecstasy is not far. Still buzzing here.

For the 40th edition of the Fast Forward Audio Series we present to you - NEWA

Coming from the jazz scene (and being a classically trained musician) Ana Kublashvili chose the artist name Newa when she progressed into the electronic music field. Newa started out as a DJ in 2012 in her hometown of Tbilisi, Georgia, quickly making a name for herself around in the city’s famous nightlife spots. She is a regular at the world-renowned Bassiani venue, a space that has given her a foundation to establish her skills on an international scale. Newa is also a recurring favourite at Ben Klock’s touring event-series Photon.

When it comes to Newa’s own productions it is a direct transition from her sound as a DJ; she represents a nuanced artist, building her musical presence on technical skill and honest feelings. Her authenticity extends into the studio. What you discover when listening to her work is a producer who expertly manages to measure all elements; deep bass lines and sunken melodies coexist in harmony. Whether the end result is techno or an experimental ambient piece, she manages to create music resonating with depth and reflection. Subspiele Records debuted Newa’s first own productions in 2012, since then she has gone on to release records on fine labels such as Klockworks, Semantica and the Bassiani in-house label. Since 2016 she also co-runs the diverse Icontrax imprint; here the focus lies on presenting undiscovered local talent from the flourishing Georgian techno scene.

We are looking much forward to having her on the lineup for the next Fast Forward rave @ KPH Volume, 7th of March 2020

POSSESSION PODCAST #121 - NEWA

Venue du grand est, Newa aka Ana Kublashvili, est une des DJs les plus en vue à Tbilisi. Après un premier EP partagé avec Abdulla Rashim, elle sort ensuite Icon Trax également sur Klockworks & Semantica (BenKlock, DVS1, etc). Ces mixes sont puissants, frénétiques, et tourmentés alliant la techno aux sonorités deep, ghetto house & more. Un vrai melting-pot de saveurs.

Nous aurions du l'accueillir le weekend du 20 juin pour sa première Possession... Ce n'est que partie remise !

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and on collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focus on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia are not tolerated.

After the first year of activities, numerous collabs and the establishment of close relationships with like-minded crews all over Europe, we decided to establish ourselves as an agency working with some of the scene´s core members - both DJs and live acts. In doing this we work both as a traditional agency and as a promotional platform for each artist’s creative output.
