Warning #75 Hamatsuki

Bassiani Podcast 221's next in line and this one comes from Georgian firebrand Charch. Tbilisi’s his hometown, and the place whose steep ascent as mecca for electronic culture in the early 2010s provided the right conditions for his musical passions to flourish. These days, he’s based in Tallinn, and he’s brought his bottomless hunger for records to the local scene there, with the founding of his own record store Biit Me Riga in neighbouring Latvia a much beloved addition to the neighbourhood. It’s proven a trusty vessel by which he’s able to discover new sounds, connect to fellow vinyl heads and build a community around him, the kind of grassroots mission on which the very best of electronic music culture is founded. From a quirky fusion of 90s progressive house, techno, trance, breakbeat, bleep and house comes his hallmark sound, one that’s also found a home (or residency to be more precise) at Tallinn night club HALL. Building selections from an eclectic range of finds, and with a good vibe approach that puts fun and danceable rhythms to the fore is Charch’s raison d’être. This latest one pushes that vision further, upbeat and brimming with his contagious and singular energy, radically optimistic beats from the Baltic corner of the map he calls home.

Returning to the Podcast for yet another round of Mach 4 techno comes Mala Junta head honcho DJ Tool, a live recording from his clubnight’s Bassiani takeover back in March. The Danish-born, German-based selector and former Fast Forward collaborator is every bit the sound and feel of Copenhagen, the gritty, trance-focused beats that have found a home in the Danish city run through his work like liquid mercury and now have Berlin in their grasp. And for one special night earlier this year, alongside D.Dan and Yazzus, Tbilisi too came under his fevered spell. With a manifest focus on inclusivity, support, friendship, and community, his signature sound is faster than a speeding bullet, one that whips up every ounce of a crowd’s energy and leaves behind the type of excited chatter you hear at the cloakroom at the end of the very best nights. It’s a techno that cuts right through and connects with people in the most visceral way, releasing pent up spirits through ferocious tempos and whirling bass. Bassiani Podcast 230 is unchained, unapologetic and pure DJ Tool throughout, four hours of pyrotechnic force from the Mala Junta firebrand.

Space Drum Meditation’ first release on Paryìa dives deep into their artistic identity, blending tribal rhythms with hypnotic techno. Known for their ability to fuse ancient and modern soundscapes, the duo has developed a signature style, combining esoteric instruments with modern electronic elements to create an immersive genre-blurring sound. This release embodies their signature style, balancing hypnotic textures and combining them with driving energy. Adding a new twist, the artist Blue Hour delivers a more fast and powerful techno remix, intensifying the rhythmic flow while staying true to the duo’s entrancing aesthetic.

Pushing their sonic vision forward, Space Drum Meditation once again showcase their ability to bridge fast and slow tempos, creating music that moves both — body and mind. For the first time, they step beyond their own label to release on Paryìa, marking their first debut- EP outside of their own Label.

Selector Session serisinin bu haftaki konuğu, komşu ülkemiz Gürcistan’dan dostumuz Kvanchi. 

Bassiani’nin resident DJ’i ve Bassiani Records’un label manager’ı olarak sahnenin merkezindeki yerini koruyan Kvanchi, bu kayıtta arşivinin trippy ve trance etkili parçalarına yöneliyor. 

Minimal groove’larla örülü, sade ama derin yapılı bu set, dinleyiciyi hipnotik bir ses dünyasına davet ediyor.

Tiflis’te yükselen protestoların gölgesinde, Kvanchi bu seti hem sahnede hem de toplumsal alanda sesini duyuran bir sanatçı olarak sunuyor.

This week’s Selector Session features our good friend Kvanchi from our neighboring country, Georgia. 

A resident of the iconic Bassiani and label manager at Bassiani Records, Kvanchi dives into the more trancey and trippy corners of his collection. 

Built around minimal grooves and stripped-down rhythms, the set delivers a hypnotic, carefully crafted journey through his distinct sonic world.

Recorded in the midst of ongoing protests in Tbilisi, this mix arrives with quiet weight — a reminder of how music and resistance often move side by side.

Selector Session - Kvanchi [SSKI004]

Recorded live at Horoom in mid-March comes this next instalment from Copenhagen representative Martin Gilleshøj. The DJ, co-founder of KUNE music and arts festival, co-founder of Axces Recordings (and their event series), and head at vinyl dispensary Proton Records is a bulwark of the Danish scene. Alongside pals like previous Bassiani Podcast guest Kasper Marott, Søren Kinch and Popmix he’s been key to his city’s cultural offer, blending groovy dancefloor tracks irrespective of narrow genre categorisations with a focus on high-energy nighttime turnouts. It’s a witty spin on clubland fare, iconoclastic and highly danceable stuff that keeps the happy chemicals unanimously flowing. Another plate to spin: he also now runs Buttheads, an intimate club series turned into a record label for the work of selected friends. Through all these outlets, Martin unravels the common thread that binds his work together, laying open a mix of styles and developing something fresh in their coming together. For Bassiani Podcast 261 Gilleshøj flexes his DJ muscles and delivers three hours of wobbly prime time bangers. Fluid, shapeshifting and soulful rhythms, slick selecting flawlessly woven together, a gradual build that perfectly epitomises Horoom’s spirit. This is a sweaty, long haul set from the Danish polymath and clubfloor mischief-maker.
