Recording of Gigsta at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"Tú y yo a la fiesta, Tú y yo-oh-oh, toda la noche <3"

Dekmantel Selectors 2021

Gigsta at Dekmantel Selectors 2021

“What do you do when your world starts to fall apart? I go for a walk, and if I’m really lucky, I find mushrooms. Mushrooms pull me back into my senses, not just -like flowers- through their riotous colors and smells but because they pop up unexpectedly, reminding me of the good fortune of just happening to be there. Then I know that there are still pleasures amidst the terrors of indeterminacy. (…)” 

Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World – On The Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins

90 autumnal minutes of forest sounds, foraging quotes and psychedelic tracks: https://cashmereradio.com/episode/fictions-46-w-gigsta-in-the-forest-autumn-aroma-edition/

Fictions #46 w/ Nono Gigsta 26.10.2021 - In The Forest (Autumn Aroma Edition)

“(…)perhaps walking should be called movement, not travel, a certain kind of wanderlust can only be assuaged by the acts of the body itself in motion, not the motion of the car, boat, or plane. It is the movement as well as the sights going by that seems to make things happen in the mind, and this is what makes walking ambiguous and endlessly fertile: it is both means and end, travel and destination.”

Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust. A History of Walking

90min of dubby, rolling and hopefully captivating tracks to take on a stroll

Fictions #47 w/ Nono Gigsta 23.11.2021 - On The Road (Walking & Wanderlust Twist)

“… perception is empty and shapeable. We see that we inevitably participate in making the world through the ways we sense and see. Understanding this, the soulmaking practitioner learns to open and tune their heart, body, imagination, desire and intellect to form an instrument for soulful perception: sensing and seeing self, others, and world in ways that bring more beauty, dimensionality, and meaningfulness, and that restore, open, and expand senses of sacredness.”

90mins of cosy vibes, quiet sounds and meditative insights to celebrate the winter solstice!

Are there any myths, past or future, that could support a collective walk towards a fairer world? A magical hike towards the top of our mountain? This edition of Fictions explores sounds and music related to protests, processions and groups of people all moving in the same direction. Here is the result, mixing René Daumal’s Mount Analogue, a work by the Institute of Queer Ecology and 90 minutes of music.

More words on Fictions 61: this is a slightly different set than the ones I sometimes play on radio or in a club. It rolls within a shorter tempo range from moody house to bumpy garage. I used to occasionally play day-time after parties in Berlin (especially in Griessmuehle's wintergarten) and this year, I have been booked a few times to play closing sets. This taught me to keep rhythms rolling in a loose and mellow way, whilst trying to keep it experimental and interesting. I'd like to bring that skill to other tempos and settings!

Fictions #61 w/ Nono Gigsta 12.10.2023 - At The Afterz

I met Alice aka https://soundcloud.com/janloup at Chantelouve, a micro-festival in the Alps and one of my favourite annual French gatherings. As the cards predicted, we had an immediate Empress crush and our b2b was floating magic.

Jan Loup is currently on tour in a van with Maquis Son Sistèm (and their soundsystem) playing squats, DIT parties and other underground venues. In Berlin, they visited Cashmere Radio and I interviewed Jan Loup before a b2b on my monthly show Fictions.

I'll play for the party she co-organizes with Le Comité des Fêtes in Toulouse on the 15th of December. If you can't make it, we hope you enjoy our show together!

पार्टी राम्रो छ

Astro Tremplin - March 2017

February's edition of Fictions is taking the oblique theme of "laughing" to explore acoustic curiosities and musical fantasies. As usual, the Soundcloud podcast comes one month after broadcast to respect Cashmere's upload policies which also means that the next edition is SOOOON: I'm hosting on the 27th in Lichtenberg from 7.30 to 9pm. Can't wait for my favorite time of the month and it's always a pleasure to share it with friends. Come down to the studio if you're around!

Soundcloud: @gigstab

With co-signs from Freerotation, Room 4 Resistance (where she is now a resident) and numerous other Berlin parties, Gigsta's expansive record collection has set its sights on dancefloors across the continent. She is a DJ whose mixes evidently display a passion for digging and conjuring up imaginative themes. We caught up with Gigsta to discuss her ascent as a DJ, telling us about her formal radio years on RCV and Canal B, her ongoing research project on early press in electronic music and the wonderful central themes that run through her monthly Fictions show on Cashmere Radio. Incredibly researched and meticulously prepared, the 31 shows, often influenced by her love for literature, range on music inspired by colours, cult novels, quotes, and NASA launches to spoken word specials and Mancuso tributes. Her Truancy Volume comes as no exception to a theme, guiding us through a mix that starts at 140 and does the rare inverse of gradually slowing down to 100bpm, although she's quick to tell us that slower change in tempo doesn't necessarily mean a slower change in energy. From Scratcha DVA remixes of Wiley, to the stylistically versatile sounds of DJ Haram and Hitmakerchinx, to Nord rippling sounds of Johanna Knutsson's recent release on Oscillate, it's a mix that runs the gamut in selection, yet echoes her personality when it comes to music and digging.

Gigsta @ Red Light Radio - 23.09.2019

A tale in four parts exploring mutations, transformations and rebirth from a queer and ecological perspective. With inspiration, sounds and words by: Aircode, Alice Coltrane, AF, Alton Ellis, Amen Ra, Arthur Russel, Asusu, Asyncronous, DJ Sprinkles, AV, Beatrice Dillon, Biosphere, Brigitte Baptiste, Celestial Trax, Cyprien Gaillard, David Moss & Direct Sound, Design Default, DJ Rubio, Ethereal Logic, Franz Kafka, Gang Gang Dance, Hannu Karjalainen, Institute of Queer Echology, Johan Ballegeer, Kilchhofer Anklin, L U C Y, Michelangelo Frammartino, Mileece, Minor Science, Mort Garson, Pali Meursault, Pascäal, Roberto Musci, Sami El-Enany, Seekers International, Significant Other, Tashi Wada with Yoshi Wada and Friends, Trans-4M, The Nono, Ura, Ursula K Le Guin, Walton, Worldwide Zen, Zheng Bo.

Gigsta's DJ set was recorded live on the EXPERIENT floor at Room 4 Resistance's 5th year anniversary at Trauma Bar und Kino in Berlin on November 30th, 2019.

GIGSTA @ Room 4 Resistance - ambient & experimental floor - Trauma Bar & kino - 30.11.2019

It might well have been her set at Freerotation in summer 2018 that really got people talking about Gigsta. It was there that the hardcore heads in the crowd were all abuzz with her fresh mix of heavy bass, house funk, off kilter rhythms and kinked synths. Since then she has become more and more visible at key parties round Europe, not only as resident at Berlin's Room 4 Resistance but also through her painstakingly researched and assembled radio shows for Cashmere, where she takes cues from literature, NASA launches, spoken word pieces and plenty more.

As the eagled-eyed will know, Gigsta has already been confirmed for Dekmantel Selectors in August, but to keep us going until then she has served up a special mix for us. You never know what you'll get with the Belgian artist, it could be hard and fast, could be grime, or could be garage. Here she goes for creepy and unsettling ambiance that eventually gets contorted into warped bass music, hyperactive club, hammering techno and euphoric jungle. It shows an unrivalled command of tempo and makes for a real seat-of-your pants ride.

Fictions #38 w/ Gigsta 24.03.2020 - The Bass Books special pt. I

Finally welcoming @ccl-url on Fictions. They’ve been a musical, creative and political inspiration for a while and getting to know them more intimately since they moved to Berlin has made my admiration and affection even deeper.

This month, we’ve decided to focus on music from Black creators, most of which are either self-released or featured on black-owned labels to ensure the funds reach them in a direct way. Our selection was partly inspired by https://blackbandcamp.info/#/ and you'll find the full tracklist here: https://cashmereradio.com/episode/fictions-41-w-gigsta-ccl/ and here:  https://www.buymusic.club/list/gigsta-fictions-41-with-gigsta-and-ccl-on-cashmere-radio

We owe so much to the creativity and work of black people and we stand in solidarity with those protesting around the globe. Go to https://linktr.ee/ccl_url for places to donate ongoing, reading lists, petitions to sign etc.

Fictions #41 w/ Gigsta & CCL 09.06.2020

In July, Fictions was feeling optimistic: Ophélie (https://soundcloud.com/opheliek) and I have selected some tracks which give us hope, either because they were part of a charity compilation, given to us by a friend, posted online for free, share intimate thoughts or express generous feelings.
