Second episode of our Jam RTBF radio residency with ISLAS. 

islas does not care about the Brexit. She will keep on spreading her UK vibes all over Europe and beyond. She was once the female force behind Basic Moves. After collecting electronic gems for a long time she is now also laying them down and weaving them together to create meandering sets. her credo: the more vocals the better.

Planet Show w/ Islas @ Kiosk Radio 17.05.2023

@islasaliasailsa at Ojoo  - 21.07.23

"Sometimes when you play it all just goes smooooooothly. This was one of those. The dancers, the weather, the soundsystem, the friends to the right of the booth at the front, the records just slotting into one another as if by magic, even ordering a new tune and receiving it on the morning of the set. Perfect timing! Falling into place!  Big up Menica, Ojoo and everyone at De Tuin van Heden for creating the context. Hope you enjoy reliving the moment if you were there and discovering some sounds for those who weren’t. HMU for track IDs anytime 😄" - Islas

Ojoo FM w/ Islas (closing at Ojoo 21.07.23)

Late last October I was invited to play a warm-up set for the inaugural weekend of Horst Club. The perfect occasion to prepare something special, I took a stroll through my record collection and went deep into the stuff I’ve had for ages but was maybe too dark or strange to play. Starting off slow, this set winds through some kooky obscure percussion, intermittent bleeps, cosmic sparkles, apocalyptic voice samples (‘it’s the end of the world’, ‘can we change the future’).
My main aim was to arrive at the final track by Deg aka Circadian Rhythms… and after 2 hours and 22 minutes my mission was accomplished! As I handed the controls over to Marco Shuttle, he said it was a very ‘British’ selection… I guess I can’t help myself. 😀
Shout-outs to the Horst team and Planet crew for their support.
Featuring tracks by: Scanner, Vegyn, Circadian Rhythms (on Basic Moves ;)), Shonky, Qnete, T-power, Shadi Megallaa, DKMA, Silat Beksi…
Hmu if any of them tickle yer fancy and happy listening. Soz it’s a bit saturated at times.

after studying visual arts, ailsa cavers 
aka islas slowly drifted towards a
growing interest in sound. islas
began crafting long, throbbing
sets that bring together delay
pedals, ASMR, spoken word,
movie scores, and ambient
sounds, playing with the
friction that exists when one
record meets another, with the
joy that erupts when sounds
come together to create the
previously unheard. having
participated in the creation of
belgian dance music label basic
moves, and recently co-founding
the PLANET collective, islas is
opening up her repertoire
to more dance-oriented sets,
all the while conserving a
passion for sampled and loopy
vocals, wonky percussion,
intoxicating breaks, and bird
sounds.
