Very much a behind the scenes figure, Basic Chanel has recently crawled out from the emails to shimmy behind the decks. Hosting a regular radio show on Refuge Worldwide and running the long-standing music blog Untitled 909, Basic Chanel uses her platforms to share the music she loves and the stories behind the artist’s that makes them.

For this 4th episode of lazed mix series, Basic Chanel introduces us to a very specific selection of « beautiful dreamy ambient-leaning guitar music » she’s been collecting for a while. 

Basic Chanel : « When building this mix, I wanted there to be a hint of romance within the selection, something to pull on your heart (guitar) strings. Pure poetry. Music to make you feel.A soundtrack to the most radiant sunset in the middle of the Nevada desert. A couple of cowboys riding through the heat, making their way back home to their loved ones. Sitting around telling old campfire stories, of past romances, of people you are dreaming about, of those you long for. A mindful porch moment. Drifting away on the ranch. A smokey sense of melancholy and yearning in the air. Always so close but yet so far. This one is for all the cowboy daydreamers. »

o:How have you been sleeping lately?
w:Not great, I kept on falling asleep watching twin peaks season 2, not good for sleep!

o:Are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
w:Daydreamer :)

o:Where do you go to dream?
w:Wherever my heart tells me I should be <3

o:What was the last thing you heard that moved you?
w:HTRK live a Strange Brew, such a beautiful performance <3

o:Have you ever cried on the dance floor?
w:Many times!

o:Where did you record this mix? 
w:I recorded this mix at the location of my party Acid Lake, the sun was setting, a deer was roaming up ahead, and a giant orange moth was flying around me :) 

o:What drew you to the sounds?
w:I have been thinking a lot recently about the perception of time in the context of love and loss. The way that our mind orchestrates a measurement of how long something feels in accordance with its impact on us. 

There is a magic involved in our metaphysical connections with one another, and the ways in which we can connect despite distance and extended time apart, but also how it feels when something bad happens to someone we love, sometimes before any contact with that person if the connection is deep enough. 

I wanted to channel these thoughts and connect with a collection of sounds spanning across many years and locations, tied together by their formation deep within the soul.

o:What's your plan next weekend?
w:The release party for the debut record by Excelsior Ruth @xlsior ;)

Berlin based refuge worldwide resident ophélie brings us an hour of bass-heavy music for our 33rd mixtape, spanning from chuggy downtempo to fast n feel good footwork - with everything in between.

To be honest, I have found the world to be particularly dark this last year. When I thought about a concept and vibe for this mix, I struggled to go towards a happier direction, as it felt in contradiction with how I’ve felt recently. I have naturally leaned towards deeper, maybe more melancholic and dubby sounds for this one.
I am nonetheless amazed by all the great people around me fighting day after day for a better and more just future for everyone, it gives me hope and comfort, and that’s also reflected in this mix by lots of brighter, more hopeful moments.

It was actually a very soothing and cathartic experience recording this mix, thank you so much for inviting me <3

I’m from a place where there weren't a lot of clubs, or wasn’t much happening musically, so a lot of my first experiences with live electronic music were with warehouses, raves, or traveling to Spain close-by to go to afters or parties.
As someone who can be very obsessive about the things I’m passionate about, I just had to know everything, and was making tons of lists about labels, artists, releases, spending hours looking for tracklists on Mixes-db (soon RIP 😢), looking for parties and clubs on RA, and also started collecting vinyls, that I was always too shy to play in front of people.

Going to London and especially Fabric and Plastic People, as well as Freerotation also had a huge impact on me, and opened me up to a whole new world of sound.

Even though this music thing was objectively what was taking the most space in my life, through which I met most of my friends and found most of my jobs, for the longest time I just couldn’t imagine djing in front of people (even my friends), or even try to get better at it. I was thinking about it a lot, but just always felt it wasn’t for me, that I wasn’t really good at it, and wouldn’t manage to get better. I really had to push myself (and still have to tbh) very hard to get out of this mindset.

Aw thanks, really appreciate that <3 with radio sometimes it’s hard to know if people are actually listening, so I’m always so happy to hear someone say that they’ve been enjoying the show!
It will be 3 years of Therapy Dog next October. I started doing shows on Refuge before that, but started Therapy Dog in October 2021. I’m not sure there was too much of a concept to be honest, but I love dogs and mental health is something I have struggled with and find important, and I’m yet to find a quicker fix to being a bit down than petting a cute dog!

I like inviting friends and artists that I like on the show, and try to adapt to their style. If I’m doing it on my own, I’ll try to go with a specific theme. This show brought me so much joy over the last few years, always so nice to get to play some b2bs with friends or dig to find new music, as well as some regular time to practice and experiment outside the club. It also taught me to be a little more confident speaking on air, which I would never have been able to do before that.

NAP Live @ RelinkData: Honest Allies Takeover

Kontakt Group is heading to Leuven for an afternoon at Stelplaats on Thursday 08.08.2024 with Mike Midnight and many more. For the occasion Mike and Kontakt Group’s Aroh DJ will play a Kiosk Show together.

A leading light of contemporary downtempo and trip hop music, Michael Gunson aka 𝑀𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑑𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 has established himself over the past decade as a versatile DJ and with a recent series of stellar downtempo EPs including recent highlight ‘Angel Hours’. His productions explore 00s nostalgia through lush textures, big emotional pulls and referential, playful sampling. Mike boasts a deep and broad knowledge of both classic and obscure trip hop and downtempo music, a delicate grip of energy and flow that feels gentle while being expertly controlled, and an exceptional emotional acuity to take listeners through very specific feelings - hope. Through his production and DJing he has imagined a new sonic world, painted with hazy brushstrokes and tender melodies.
