Next up in the Audio Series we present: Varya Karpova

The young Russian has been turning heads and ears recently with her productions having been featured on a massive various artist EP alongside the likes of Trym and Shlomo for Possession. Her style combines hard-hitting techno mashed in with some more playful sounds from the hard dance genres which we feel is the perfect blend.

Varya is part of the new Core Agency, created by the people behind Possession in Paris.

Enjoy this high octane-fueled mix!

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we present: Roma Ptashenko

From 2012 Roma has found his inspiration in the roots of rave culture — the 90s: Belgium with its accelerated-rough rhythms, melancholic trance and acid with its emotional edges, Britain and hard trance from Bonzai Records, as well as early releases on German Harthouse and rave revival from ТРИП label. 

His first DJ experiments took place accordingly: two old decks, CD disk records and endless mixing.

As a result, Roma's sets have become adjust compositions that belong to the dancefloor, but leave the space for real bangers. The big-bit track smoothly enters techno cage: Cari Lekebusch suddenly weaves with Nina Kravitz's sensual hits, and Prodigy remix drowns into progressive house of the duo Der Dritte Raum.

Over the past few years, his performances could be regularly seen both in the main Moscow techno-mecca Mutabor, and in St. Petersburg's Blank or the closed underground space of Raf25, in Tbilisi's Drama Bar and Yerevan's Poligraf.

Roma is a member of two iconic Moscow communities: the Volchok streetwear project, where he leads his series of podcasts and organizes parties. And the Popoff Kitchen music queer community. This year, the association was included in the list of the most influential projects that form youth culture.

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

In response to the horrifying invasion taking place in Ukraine, we have decided to release the debut EP of the new duo by Sugar & Peachlyfe “Ultra Harmonizer - A Different Kind Of Beast”.
It will be released on our Fast Forward Fundraiser label to create immediate funds for the Ukrainian people.

https://fastforwardproductions.bandcamp.com/album/a-different-kind-of-beast

This EP was initially set to be released around early summer, but as we are sitting here, hundreds of kilometers away, watching with agony and shock about what is happening, we need to act in the best way possible.
As artists with limited political influence and minimal resources to make a big difference, in a full-scale invasion like what we see in Ukraine, the least thing we can do is to utilize our abilities and music to contribute here and now.

Now more than ever, it is time for solidarity with the Ukrainian people and not leave them to their fate, while Russia is violently breaking international laws and creating a state of war in the region.
We all have to put pressure on our local governments, create public awareness, provide donations, and shelter the refugees fleeing the country.

All proceeds from this EP will be donated to Sunflower Of Peace (www.instagram.com/sunflowerofpeace/)
This also applies to the existing three compilations already available and the future one coming out in August.
This EP is 6€ minimum or pay what you can above this; all amounts are greatly appreciated.

Ultra Harmonizer is Sugar & Peachlyfe.

A Different Kind Of Beast EP was made during summer 2021, departing from the straightforward dancefloor sound they both are known for and into new and unknown territories.

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

NEBBIERI is a stage name of a charismatic DJ, Marita Nebieridze, whose sets are based on the synthesis of techno, electro, and breakbeat. Her music vision was inspired at an early age by artists such as Kate Bush, The Prodigy, Psychic TV, Wendy Carlos, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, and many more. The inspiration was depicted in her wonderful record collection. Later on, her enthusiasm transformed into a new initiative - aged 18, Marita eventually started DJing and throwing a regular home party series in Germany, alongside friends and like-minded people.

Since returning to Georgia, Marita debuted at HOROOM and then at BASSIANI’s queer night series HOROOM NIGHTS. Besides music, things that really inspire her are sci-fi literature and the surrounding environment and social life with its daily occurrences. Therefore, she considers DJing to be a very special responsibility, as inspired by the music and social happenings simultaneously, NEBBIERI thinks a DJ can compose and express a dramaturgically rigorous story.

As the next guest on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we are excited to present: Mac Declos

Enrolled into the groove with a blues guitarist father and a singer/dancer mother, Mac bathes in the musical cosmos very young, dipped in a home of rhythm and choreography. He graduated in dance and pursued contemporary dance at the Centre Chorégraphique National of Roubaix. The versatile virtuoso also proved himself in hip hop dance battle but soon discovered the holy platines to practice his waltz. From hip hop to house music, there is one, two step : a controller has been bought, Mac Declos is born.

Eclectic, with an unpredictable hypersonic sound, intense yet precise, Mac Declos swings furiously between body and mental, hits high-paced without losing any groove: projected into a frenetic race, we are all invited to lose control during Mac’s kicky-bouncy techno sets.
Recently, Mac Declos dropped « Cuir en cage », his first 5-tracks EP on Myst. He also released his first 10-track LP on Mama Told Ya MTY-007 «Hard work always pays off».

About the mix:
"I recorded this podcast before New Year's Eve with a focus on exploring various genres, as I often do. The aim was to create a one-hour journey that reminds me of my last gigs or club experiences. Savor the journey."

Enjoy! 👽

As the next guest on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we are presenting you with: CRB

 CRB is a French artist based in Budapest who’s been part of the global electronic music scene for 8 years.  Mastering transition between Oldschool techno, Trance, Hardgroove and Hardhouse, his sets have transcended boundaries and genres and led him to play in many international cities such as Berlin, Tbilissi, Istanbul, Paris, Madrid, Vienna and many more.

Over the years, he shared the stage with most of the main international Techno acts and played for some iconic party series such as Boiler Room, Synoid, Pornceptual or Rawmantique.

However, beyond his crowd-engaging melodies, CRB’s mission of diversity oscillates between his commitment to expose the hidden gems of electronic music in Budapest via EDR, and to bring to the forefront the aesthetics of queer culture through his residency at Kink Budapest and the Times New Romance collective.

Enjoy! :)

Fast Forward Audio Series #99 - CRB

For the last 7 years the Fast Forward Audio Series has been running, we have had the pleasure of presenting more than hundred different artists ranging with all from livesets, solo recordings and b2b sessions on it.
 It has been interesting to follow the journey of those artists from where they were then, and how their sound has evolved and influenced them and the scenes around.  

So for this 100th edition of the series we are very pleased to present yet another influential artist to you: TASHA

Tasha’s DJing style matches this textured background of her influences and has developed into a master-flow of form - weaving tunes together seamlessly from her bass informed home of the UK alongside four four techno forms born in Berlin and Detroit.  Her residency on Rinse FM Radio has been a backbone of Tasha’s approach as a DJ - expressing her appreciation for electronic music inviting guests in from all over the globe. 

 In 2016 Tasha launched the label Neighbourhood with Randomer, Cadans, Kamikaze Space Programme, Metrist and Forest Drive West all featuring to date, and the latest edition of the V/A compilation HIVE series has just released its third edition last month. 

In an industry where artists are asked to prioritise their art for social media presence, likes and other vacuous pursuits, Tasha is very much in demand for her ‘music first’ attitude, selection and ability.
A refreshing outlook and positive future awaits the DJ, producer, promoter and label owner. 

Enjoy! :)

Next up on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: LISAS

  LISAS is a DJ emerging from the New York techno scene whose expertise spans a multitude of roles. From working as a sound engineer in recording studios alongside artists such as David Byrne, Floating Points, Oneohtrix Point Never,  to performing and touring in the band The Rapture, and producing music for the Ayama NYFW SS24 fashion show; all while repairing vintage analog synthesizers and outboard gear, or managing production for raves and large scale events-the many layers of her journey are as diverse as they are captivating. 

Her foray into DJing - an evolution grounded in her extensive knowledge and boundless curiosity of sound, has become the focal point of her current ascent, where she’s known to unleash an array of strikingly distinct selections that propel her audience on a riotous and feverish ride.
In her own words, her blend of “post-apocalyptic arpeggiators and mermaid synthesis” fuses groovy techno with sizzling bursts of electro, driving trance, heady IDM, glossy breaks, and anthemic rave weapons draped in lush emotive synth-scapes. Her colorful and dynamic style has earned her two coveted residencies, at Le Bain in New York City & in the Brooklyn-born Agape Music collective, along with gigs across top clubs and notorious underground parties in the United States and Europe.

About the mix:
Recorded in my studio in Brooklyn, it's a goodbye letter to a summer in New York that ripped <3 A combination of tracks that I have recently discovered, been playing out and been listening to.

Next up on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Hitam

Championing a dancefloor sound as ebulliently driving as it invites us to dip our toes into further hazy sonic grounds, Dutch producer, Rhiza Semar founder and Eerste Communie resident Hitam swings the pendulum betwixt racing 909-fuelled horsepower and more subdued, fearsome climates.

By combining organic and artificial sound sources with ancient and modern approaches to patterns and structure, he sees his productions as a means to reconnect the past and present; guiding the listener through aural fields that are both familiar and unknown.
As ever clinical in his approach and deadly in his execution, Hitam has us tripping out to relentless tech rage and hypnotic sound design laced into one smoldering hodgepodge of whelming, non-stop gusty sonics.

The dynamic and ethereal characteristics of his sound invoke a state of contemplation and receptiveness, by means of which one is invited to form a deeper connection within and between. Mind and body; self and other.

Enjoy! :)

Next up on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Di Linh

Emerging from Hanoi - Vietnam, Di Linh's musical path has grown expeditiously over the years. She has been making a name for herself and her mark on the dance floors by using a diverse and colorful music selection. She is also a resident DJ at Savage, The Observatory, Equation, and recently Wonderfruit.

Di Linh flawlessly brings her taste of music from north to south around Vietnam, Europe and SouthEast Asia. Each space gives her different inspiration as she is consistently developing herself to ensure the audience falls into a trance whilst also staying true to herself. She knows how to lead audiences' emotions into her own story, leaving them with a strong impression after each set through a variety of sounds such as Disco, House and Techno.

About the mix:
These are my recent favorite gems and this mix reminds me of the vibe in The Cave at (Re)treat Festival last month! A high-energy wave blended between house, break-beat, and techno.

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

Hailing from Barcelona and residing in Berlin, PSL has been quickly making waves and heating up dancefloors throughout Europe and North America, becoming one of the most exciting and sought-after names on the scene.

His distinct sound landed him the coveted title of resident at FLOORGASM, as well as inclusion on some of Europe's finest lineups: closing De School in Amsterdam, Tresor in Berlin, or Primavera Sound in Madrid.

His productions as well as his sets are full of sexy and bouncy basslines, punchy kicks, and groovy percs that make sure to maintain the energy high but keeping it sensual and steamy while navigating through a wide array of genres but mostly Techno, Breaks and a splash of Latin rhythms.

Always keeping the crowd on their toes as to what's coming next he never fails to ignite and bring the heat to whatever dancefloor he's in charge of.

About the mix: 
This mix is a good representation of where I'm at musically at the moment, I'm even soft-launching one of my next tracks in it. 
These days I'm gravitating more and more towards break-techno, tracks that use silence as another instrument in clever ways that keep it exciting and fresh while at the same time maintaining a strong punch and moving forward :)

  About the mix:
 "Feeling a bit drained by winter and under the weather, I wanted to create something comforting, like that old plaid you love to wrap yourself in.
As a teenager, I used to listen to mixes in bed, dreaming of being in clubs while drifting off to sleep, caught in the loop. I tried to capture that feeling here. Hope you enjoy it !"

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

Evoking the sonic tapestry of her journey, Menal Batti invites us to immerse ourselves in her transformative and multifaceted soundscape. A testament to her Swedish origins, now flourishing in the vibrant techno scene of Vienna, and currently a resident at filtr in Brno. Her music is more than just entertainment; it's a raw, pulsating expression of self.

Batti weaves her Kurdish heritage into her musical narrative, drawing inspiration from her father's saz, a traditional instrument that symbolizes her cultural roots. With a profound passion for 90s techno music, she embarked on a musical expedition, cultivating a unique style that elegantly marries disparate elements of the genre into a harmonious entity.

Her dynamic progression is celebrated in the energetic dance floors of local clubs such as Grelle Forelle and PRST, and echoes internationally with appearances for Herrensauna, Marcel Dettmann's "Bad Manners" and playing at venues like Blitz Munich, RADION Amsterdam, Tresor Berlin and Lighthouse Festival Croatia, Menal Batti continues to transmit her compelling rhythmic narratives with an atmospheric touch, demonstrating the evolution of her musical identity.

The April edition of the Audio Series is here, happy to present you with: Monster

With over a decade of experience under her belt, Monster is now rightfully taking her place among Europe's best DJs. Showcasing her omnivorous taste for euphoric and fun music, Monster can be heard playing techno, house, electro, acid, old-school trance, breaks, and everything in between, usually championing producers from her local Polish scene.

Her career started in the late 00’s at Rozbrat, an anarchist squat and social centre in Poznań, Poland. That's where she started throwing Squat The Electricity nights, working tightly with the local scene, popularising electronic music among activists and activism among electronic music fans. Today, she's a member of Oramics, a Polish platform supporting women, non-binary and queer people in electronic music. Their actions came to worldwide attention thanks to the Total Solidarity compilation.

About the mix:
"The mix showcases some of the fast and modern, mostly 4x4 tracks that I've been enjoying recently as well as some broken beat intermissions. It's perfect for the ending of Venus and Mercury retrogrades that we can now all recover from."

Enjoy!

For the May edition of the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Nuir

Nuir is a self-taught producer and DJ based in Paris, known for her boundary-pushing approach to electronic music. Drawing inspiration from a rich electronic music culture that spans IDM, trance, techno, and the free party scene, Nuir has carved out a unique sonic identity.

She made her debut as a producer on Mama Told Ya and has since continued to push boundaries with her sound, releasing music on labels such as Maison Close, Ghetec, and, most recently, TM8.

Rooted in Parisian club culture and the French free party movement, Nuir has performed across numerous European cities, including Copenhagen, Bristol, and Yerevan.

Her music has received support from internationally recognized artists, including Mama Snake and Anetha, affirming her growing influence and fearless ability to merge hardware, software, vocals, and live instrumentation into a singular, evolving sound.

About the mix:
This one-hour mix embodies what I seek during this challenging time we are facing — a sonic space for both release and reflection. Deeply connected to the culture that has shaped my identity, I am now driven to contribute to this vision: music as a powerful political and emotional force, creating a space where everyone can freely express themselves.
I wanted the mix to reach both emotional depths and euphoric highs — blending deep introspection with high-energy club sounds. It's about connection through contrast, and the healing power of dance.

Enjoy!

⚡⚡⚡ THIS IS IMPORTANT ⚡⚡⚡

🔥In recent years governments all over Europe have lurched to the right, not least here in Denmark. Amongst a long list of new racist and xenophobic legislation – and as the neo-fascist Rasmus Paludan establishes his new party and is given government-funded protection for year-long hate-speach tours in areas with large Muslim populations – the Danish government is running several incarceration camps to hold rejected refugees. Living conditions in the camps are inhumane, children in them are being denied access to education, and according to humanitarian organisations many of the people held in them are showing signs of severe and increasing distress and mental illness.
Fighting against this shameful injustice is a growing movement called Together WE PUSH, which is dedicated to buying and delivering high-quality food and other necessities to the incarcerated families at the SJÆLSMARK camp, as well as organising events for the children there. Together We Push is comprised of a massive network of volunteers and is able to operate thanks to financial contributions from private citizens, support parties and fundraising initiatives.

🔥Together We Push gather volunteers and funds from their social media sites:

DONATIONS CAN BE MADE HERE:
PayPal: togetherwepush101@gmail.com

🔥The following Fast Forward artists have contributed tracks to a forthcoming digital compilation album, 100% of the proceeds from which will be donated to Together We Push to help support their amazing work. The album will be released on 2nd september, and can be purchased at: https://fastforwardproductions.bandcamp.com/

Enjoy!

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

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we present: Cassie Raptor

DJ & producer / VJ artist with trance and dark techno influences, Cassie Raptor plunges the dancefloor in a dark and burning atmospheres. Powerful kicks, organic textures, screaming voices, her sets release a cathartic energy, a visceral and determined sound that escapes the evidence. An ecstatic chase between distressing and luminous atmospheres where broken rhythms, elements of industrial noise and acid converge in a liberating and enjoyable clubbing, sentimental and raw.

Cassie will also be part of the new upcoming agency launched by the Possession crew later this year.



Cassie’s words about the mix:
Intense and fast race - trance, metal and animal vibes with fewer voices than usual for a more introspective set. Matching my current emotions from this sick sad world, this set is like a long hard road with pitfalls and anxiety-provoking moments.
But still, hope.
A way to express, through music, my anger, fears and demons regards to the crisis and move forward, hope it hits you right in the stomach.
