Mutant Radio contributor and Bassiani resident Zesknel’s captivating blend of genres has previously guested the main show with its bracing shade of full-force techno. For the second Zenaari Podcast instalment (a newly launched auxiliary to the club’s nascent experimental event series), Zurab channels a different persona: a slower, more introspective and maverick soul. This breed of electronic music is a deliberate attempt to challenge musical preconceptions and pioneer a course that employs pure noise and texture to carve out a space in the less-explored realms of this musical niche. Insightful and dreamy, Zesknel’s neoteric ruminations are kindling for unorthodox modes of expression. This is mind-engaging stuff, a rippling wall of sound jutting out of the void, a black amorphous mass from which the new is made. There’s really no map here, but that’s just why, this avant-garde Georgian is now hard at work drawing one.

2h 57' Dj set extract by @ @lucascarpa at Rebus After at Circolo Masada (Milano). Set time 09:00 am - 1:00 pm

"Playing at Masada was something I had been looking forward to for a long time, but it’s never too late when it happens for Rebus and as the opening act for Blazej Malinowski.
For me, it was incredibly magical. I am once again grateful for the opportunity to express myself in a place I frequent and have considered home for many years.
With this after, I aimed to bring you a glimpse into my world. My sonic narrative explored the deepest, darkest, and most hypnotic sounds, interspersed with flashes of light.
Because it is in the darkness that you can see the light."
by Luca Scarpa

This extract aims to evoke the memories and emotions of that day for those who were there, while also serving as a special gift for those who missed it—a cherished addition to their collection.

Opening set for a recent renegade. Trippy hypnotics, texture, groovy benders, forward drivers, and everything in-between. Super proud of this one :)

Bassiani invites Steve Bicknell’s S.B. Project / Podcast #34

This week we're joined by Miami based Danny Daze for mix #217 in our series with something a little different from what regular Daze fans might have come to expect, but then that's the way Danny approaches music; breaking boundaries and going against the grain to produce something that is authentic, welcoming the raw and imperfect sounds that create an unpolished charm that has become synonymous with his Omnidisc label.

"It's a been a while since I've done a faster tempo mix. I wanted to put a spotlight on Miami artists and labels so this mix consists solely of that. Artist and labels based out of Miami."

We'll let the music do the rest of the talking...

Thug life urban areas give birth either to crime, or to art. In the case of Kaloyan Gavrailov (aka KANZ), the shady Lyulin neighbourhood of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, thankfully sparks the latter.

Kaloyan discovers music production in 2004. Captured by breakbeat, in 2007 together with Dimitar Slavkov - Dickie, creates the colourful live act duo 80s Clash. Flowing through genres such as deep and progressive house, he settles in dub techno and ambient, and embarks on his KANZ live act alias.


In 2015 he releases the emblematic "Sea of Uncertainty" trough  Stephan Panev’s KOMPONENTI Imprint. Two years later, KANZ takes off on yet another artistic adventure, resulting in the foundation of the experimental techno live act LESNIK with Kalin Baychev SuB (Porno BPM). With him he rocks the Sofia nightlife scene, performing at various events - ФАЗА, Subfactor radio show, and others.

Throughout the years, labels such as [-M-E-L-M-A-K-], Audio Avantgarde, Adultempo Specialists, KOMPONENTI, Mahorka, WTF is SWAG, Axaminer Records and Amek Collective see KANZ on their release titles. In 2021, the artist's pandemic soul finally pours into his first album “Remind Me Tomorrow” on Mahorka.

It is there where the musical direction of KANZ can be sensed best - ranging from ambient to dub techno, through IDM, generative music and psychedelic electronica. It is where one dives deep. No reminders needed.

Bulgarian

Всеизвестно е, че нелекият живот по крайните квартали ражда или престъпност, или изкуство. В случая с Калоян Гавраилов (известен още като KANZ), съмнителният столичен ж.к.Люлин за щастие го тласка към второто.

Калоян открива продуцирането на музика през 2004 г. Запленен от брейкбийта, през 2007 г. заедно с Димитър Славков - Дики, създава колоритния лайв дует 80s Clash. Преминавайки през жанрове като deeep и progressive хаус, той се "настанява" в дъб техно и ембиънтa, и се впуска в музициране под псевдонима KANZ.

През 2015 г. издава емблематичното "Sea of Uncertainty" за лейбъла на Стефан Панев - KOMPINENTI. Две години по-късно KANZ отпътува на поредното артистично приключение, което води до основаването на експерименталния техно лайв акт LESNIK с Калин Байчев SuB (Porno BPM). Двамата редовно разцъкват софийската нощна сцена, изявявайки се на различни събития - ФАЗА, радиопредаването Subfactor и др.

[-M-E-L-M-A-K-], Audio Avantgarde, Adulttempo Specialists, KOMPONENTI, Mahorka, WTF is SWAG, Axaminer Records и Amek Collective са част от лейбълите, чиито рилийзи "краси" името на KANZ. През 2021 г., пандемичната му душа най-накрая се излива в първия му албум озаглавен „Remind Me Tomorrow“, и издаден за лейбъла Mahorka.

Именно там музикалният път на KANZ може да се усети най-добре – криволичещ по ембиънт и дъб техно калдъръми, пресичащ IDM мостове, отправен към генеративната музика и психеделична електроника. Там човек се впуска дълбоко. Без необходимост от напомняне.
