With the worst of the pandemic in the rear-view mirror, Danish virtuoso DJ Tool can finally get back to IRL raves, and championing a signature brand of techno that blurs the gulf between the heady days of 90s trance and present. This is his second round for the Bassiani podcast series, a high voltage return to his Copenhagen roots. They’ve fully grown: quicksilver rhythms that have to be seen (and felt) in the flesh, though this one’s a glimpse of that magic at home. Bassiani Podcast 142 is pure euphoria, a pulsating journey through the world DJ Tool and his Fast Forward crew built.

Bassiani invites Dj Tool / Podcast #142

Close Bassiani collaborator and Georgian heavy hitter Kancheli is guest number three for experimental event series Zenaari’s new Mix. He’s also the third Bassiani/Horoom resident to contribute an episode, proof that the best dancefloor artists aren’t just focused on narrow category constraints but push themselves through deep sonic research and experimentation. The former percussionist and Jazz enthusiast takes inspiration for a wealth of different genres: though this particular junket is a detour from his usual Techno dispatches: a weird and wonderful exploration in sound that segues from warmer ambient melodies, to reflective monologues, through brooding instrumentals and insectlike clicks. A liminal rally of disparate and thought-provoking sounds from the Tbilisi mainstay and club resident.

Next up comes a very special set recorded live at Bassiani/Horoom’s ten year anniversary in early October. Having made common cause with the club in its infancy, longtime resident Hamatsuki (Mamuka Tskhadaia) and Morevi Records key figure Skyra (Sandro Papaskiri) are a perfect vector for the club’s vision. These two homegrown talents are legends in their own right, and well versed in their musical skill, teaming up on occasion and getting people moving to the sound of their surging beats. The community built around them and their Georgian confrères has grown exponentially since casual beginnings on the ground in Tbilisi, and the timeless mark they’ve left on the soul of the city is testament to its creative spirit. From chilled-out releases to laid back sets, the duo have an innate feeling for the other that complements and sparks surprising new ideas, downtempo house that sounds as fresh today as it did back then. For Bassiani Podcast 235, the pair flex their well-trained muscle and deliver an hour of groovy and undulating sounds, unbent rhythms for the dancing class. Tbilisi energy to the letter. And here’s to another ten.
