Moroccan based / Paris based artist Bassam has been a major part of the French underground for quite a while now. Either as part of the genre blurring Distrikt Paris team or as a solo artist in his own right Bassam is one of these names that is always pushing forward in different musical directions. The co-founder of Distrikt Paris will shortly be celebrating the 7th birthday shortly and he will be turning out alongside his ANTAM Records partner Antoine Sy. 

Before that however, Bassam is turning out for our InSession podcast series in solo mode. Whether Bassam is programming a weekend long event, an EP or a DJ set there is always this X factor to everything he does. It may be the funk fuelled basslines, unique mix segues or bleep filled productions this mix will have all of these elements and a whole lot more.

Just in case you have been living under a rock for the last few years you might have missed the rise of Loa Szala as one of the most in demand selectors in the UK. Her residency for Alien Communications has allowed her to rally spread her wings musically and in the process, she has shared the decks with plethora of names. The wide range of sounds that she can call upon is quite staggering and this has led her to being billed alongside the likes of Ryan Elliot, Raresh, Janeret, Todd Terje and of course her blossoming headlining schedule.

2022 was a great year for Loa as she made an imapct on several 2023 lists of artists to watch including our own. As you will have spotted by now she has come out the blocks quickly and is in the process of building up an exciting breakout year. Having already joined the picnic booking agency she already has dates in the diary at Gottwood, Butik Festival, Pleasure in Edinburgh and the hotly tipped ID party alongside a bevy of girls in Barcelona. We are thrilled to welcome Loa to our InSession series where she flexes that musical knowledge in a myriad of ways and directions. If you get the chance to catch this rising star grab it with both hands and enjoy the journey.

Modal Radio Show 036 - Penar
Recorded for Piñata Radio.

Penar is a man with several hats, constantly navigating between his swiss crew La Récré, his parisian one Duty Free and his fresh new label Piranha Hips. As if that weren't enough, he now runs a unique place in Paris, Le Café de la Musique, where he can dedicate his love of music in all its forms, from jazz to electronic.
Icing on the cake : his energy is matched only by his kindness, and for all those reasons we're glad to have him to open the season of our dear radio shows. 
Here are a few words about his podcast :

'I tried to put together an hour of music along the lines of a warm up, going from doors opening to a packed club.
Weaving together moody, groovy and electric beats to keep it all as dynamic as possible.'

Massaï - 17.09.2023 Opening Weekender

The Parisian duo of Alex Tran & Noé Bailleux are well known for blowing up countless dancefloors, but their musical influences are slightly harder to pin down. The reason for this is that there are more than a handful of different sounds that inform their productions and DJ sets. This is most definitely their superpower and being able to draw on so many sounds from their locker means that you never know which direction Charonne is going to go in next.  [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-178-charonne/]

Trommel.178 - Charonne

This recording was captured on a serene Wednesday night. Enchanting spirits gliding through the playa on bicycles and art cars, faithfully tracing the path of the bus until the final note, where we paused in the heart of the deep playa. 


The emotional and spiritual odysseys we undertook this year shall serve as a wellspring of inspiration for the rest of our lives. May love and light forever guide our way.”

Something a bit different this episode, courtesy of a French duo with an impressive repertoire of sounds - Plazeg. 

Loic & Peluso have been building a name for themselves via their Sound Fiction parties in London; carving out their own spot in a crowded landscape through astute bookings and a sophisticated approach to building the night with extended downbeat warmups. 

The podcast is very much in this vein; a timeless hour, rich in dynamics and musicality, that traverses the spectrum of downtempo.

We continue our podcast love affair with French artists with another rising star in Nemo Vachez. If you have been paying attention this week you will have noticed that we have been showing some serious love to Nemo and rightly so. His debut album has just dropped on his co-ran buy on sight imprint Forest Ill Records and true to form it manages to shoe horn in a wide swathe of genres across the 4 x 12” LP. From chunky electro, low slung beats, nasty riddims, and our recent premiere “Hey DJ (Radio Mix)” which squeezes in a mind bending amount of samples into its run time. 

There is also the label itself, founded by Idris Bena, Nadir Sanchez, Steve Didion, and of course Nemo Vachez has been a constant source of fire. Nemo is more than just the co-owner of a really great label, he regularly drops slabs of science on labels such as Rakya Records, Opia, and Lowmoneymusiclove. These skills just happen to transfer nicely into the DJ booth and this takes the Parisian artist far and wide.

Moving onto the mix, and after a sultry lead in, the disco pressure is applied at just the right level. Cowbells, piano licks, deep probing basslines, all have their space at the controls of Nemo Vachez. As you might expect, there is a huge amount of musical content transferred into Vachez’s mix, but it never feels over-saturated or too busy. Just when the energy levels peak, Nemo pulls it back and slaps a funky bassline down and a new avenue opens up..

There is no denying that 2023 has been a year for Alexia Glensy, but then the same could perhaps be said for 2022. Either way it is clear that the British / Brazilian, Amsterdam based artist’s star is firmly in the ascent. After a jam packed summer program Alexia managed to fit into her schedule appearances at Planet Paradigm in Groningen, 909 Festival in Amsterdam, Sophie Festival in Malaga, Mare Festival in Siciliy, Ion Festival in Albania, as well as countless club dates in almost every country and city you can think from Europe to The States and beyond.
