As the updated old saying might go, life is like a Lydo set - you never know what you're gunna get. This New York City-based interdisciplinary artist has plenty of tricks up their sleeve and a real love of mixing up genres in ways you wouldn't think possible. They have done so across Europe and North America and have a hardcore following at home where they run the legendary X-TRA.SERVICES. It makes regular seasonal appearances at BASEMENT, where LYDO (@lydole) is also a resident, and is a safe place to party for queer, trans, and non-binary people of colour.

LYDO's selections for us this week blow open the usual boundaries of techno. It's a mix of contrasts, where barrages of noise and malfunctioning machines are lit up by the most gorgeous melodies. Thumping and heavy rhythms are offset by wispy and light-emitting synth leads as energy levels are masterfully controlled. They build to moments of real intensity before being boiled down to pent-up promise and heads-down grooves. Somehow these sounds are both retro yet future, animalistic yet human, and they are proof that LYDO is a standout contemporary talent.

Far the third edition of Cuddles with.. we welcome @agua_fk 💕

Agua con gas’ playful and seductive sets take you on a groovy and steamy journey on the dancefloor. The Berlin-based artist draws his inspiration from the sounds of the '90s trance, house, tribal rhythms and electro. Although he doesn’t stick to one genre, he is mastering the storytelling from beginning to end with consistency and flow.

Agua’s passion for electronic music first sparked when he began to collect records in 2018. He’s shown the depth of his versatile taste with mixes for shows at community radios like THF Radio, Mutant Radio Tbilisi, Radio80k, Root Radio and Refuge Worldwide. Over the past few years, you could find him playing at various clubs in Berlin, other cities in Germany, Switzerland and recently debuting in South Africa at the Smalltown Beat Festival.

🐩Be cute, be cunt, clothes off, come cuddle! 💕
