Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Kancheli

Giorgi Kancheli is a Georgian producer and resident DJ at Bassiani who has been crucial in shaping the country’s club culture. Growing up in the dark and crumbling Tbilisi, in the ’90s, has greatly influenced his musical identity.

Kancheli’s professional relationship with music began with percussion, and at the age of 17, he was already playing at the Tbilisi jazz festival. Soon after that, he got into electronic music and has now been an active DJ for over 15 years. In early 2010, Kancheli and his friends started the project ‘Stare at DJ’, which quickly became the main event of the country’s evolving club scene. Today, Kancheli is one of the most popular DJs in his hometown Tbilisi, headlining many major festivals in Georgia and performing at the industry’s most respected venues such as Berghain, Robert Johnson, Shelter, Dimensions, and CTM Festival.
Besides spinning the decks, Giorgi also writes and produces his own music.
In spring 2020, his debut solo EP “Earthshaketrance” got released on Bassiani Records.
Kancheli also co-runs the label Shin Records - a label focused on emerging Georgian producers.

Enjoy!

Fast Forward Audio Series #69: Kancheli

Sophie Phare is an emergent fixture of Georgian club culture. Since 2016 she’s taken inspiration from the land, everything from the Black Sea coast to Tbilisi’s dancefloor denizens, and funnelled these influences into a frequent schedule as rebel selector for queer party Horoom Nights. Like the series, Phare has activism running through her veins: her resonant and peppy mixes are the language she chooses to spread her anti-normative creed, one geared to creating a more inclusive world. And with italo, acid and perky house forming the backbone of Bassiani Podcast 132, she’ll encourage everyone to have fun in the process. This one’s a lightning-speed broadcast from the budding maverick talent.

DAS RADIO 36: Seqta

DASCO is a hurricane force with recent roots in Berlin, active for the past decade and packing as strong a punch today as she ever has. That’s as true of her music as it is her persona. She has the kind of rare, contagious energy that’s capable of setting dancefloors ablaze: animated, celebratory and full of joie de vivre. As DJ, she draws from the wells of Chicago house and UR, as much as 90s UK rave: dispatching rhythms from the booths at Tresor, Panorama Bar, RSO, Bristol’s Motion and many more. As producer, she’s released records on the likes of Shall Not Fade and pushed her own vision via her recently launched Bisexuality Exists imprint (2022). Catchy name and it serves a purpose. Through her music, DASCO wants to lift people up, that includes people like herself who identify as bisexual and see a frequent tendency towards bi erasure: ‘With the label, I would like to show the world that music - like life - is rarely ever black or white.’ The label’s first release was the acid influenced Get High With Me, featuring her own vocals and a slew of punchy 90s beats - an attempt to bottle the feeling of dancefloor rapture that washes over a crowd every time she plays. She’s here again spreading love and positive vibes for Bassiani Podcast 201. An irresistibly dancy studio mix, an hour of poker-hot tunes for late hour dreamers from this incomparable musical talent.

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 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 focuses on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated.
