EERSTE COMMUNIE #038 IGNEZ

This next one’s a very special B2B set from two of techno’s freshest talents. German/Dutch pairing Phil Berg and Lobster have emerged from their respective habitats masters of their art. From raves in both their homelands to releases on SK-eleven, HAYES, Room Trax and positivesource, as well as a shared residency for Vault Sessions that’s brought them here for Bassiani Podcast 210, the duo posit a deep and driving compound of high-voltage rhythms in their day-to-day praxis. Slamming techno that has claimed a rightful space among the greatest names of their generation. Layer by layer, an instinctive formulation of heaving basslines and delicate hi-hats balanced with utmost precision. It’s a seamless communion of complementary worldviews in respect to sound, a rich tapestry of ever morphing loops. It’s focus on gradual build, a slowly evolving chimera in lieu of schmaltzy instant gratification. This latest edition clocks in at three hours, a redacted version of their 12 hour set for the Vault Sessions night at Bassiani back in early February. Immersive and rolling, monolith techno that’s sure to set a higher bar for those who follow.

EERSTE COMMUNIE #042 PHILIPPA PACHO

Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ with sharp focus and a quick mixing style Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007. It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds: always straightforward, sometimes weird, often catchy. 

Kr!z takes listeners on journeys surpassing space and time. Led by deeply hypnotic grooves,  syncopated rhythms and widely reverberating atmospheres, his desire to guide the dancefloor into unknown depths can be felt with every note. Intensities build up and collapse under his skillful hands, knowing what each knob twist will result in. Each set feels almost like a mathematical calculation, deciphering the code of collective ecstasy.

Born in Costa Rica, producer and DJ Linear System bends sound with flawless precision. For #252, he delivers a fully live recorded mix that shows exactly why his sound stands out: intricate layers, sci-fi textures, crisp percussion, and brooding low-ends that pull you deep into his world.

His sets and productions move seamlessly from rough, floor-shaking cuts to clean, reverb-laced tools that twist your mind inside out. With releases on labels like Molecular Recordings, Planet Rhythm, and Modern Minimal he continues to shape a sharp, future-focused sound. Beyond DJing, his releases have received international acclaim and strong support across the scene. 

This is his first and only live set of 2025.

Next up in our 01366 Invites series is Chami, delivering a deep and introspective mix that balances weight and subtlety with precision.

Built on hypnotic rhythms, evolving soundscapes, and a steady sense of forward motion - Chami’s selection invites you into a space where time feels distorted.

A Berghain regular, Chami brings a sound shaped by the club’s unique atmosphere. We had the pleasure of hosting him a couple years back at ://about blank - and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back through the series.

This mix is all about mood, balance, and atmosphere - a true expression of Chami’s sound.

A high-spirited artist and indefatigable producer, Mathys reinvents the syncopation through a mental and rude 4-decks techno, embodying the intense, concentrated and visceral, inviting for emancipation. 

From his multiple EP's released on MORD, Orbe, HAYES and Mutual Rytm recently, his music is fiery and frenetic. This spatial dimension is essential to him as a musician, where tension and reflection are combined in the space he endlessly recreates through his sets. 

Mathys Lenne is the one who sets the pace, pushing the melody to its rawest limits and establishing order with finesse.
