Dear Undersounders,

We return after 4 years from our last podcast with a funky mix by London staple Vass (@vassisdass). Over the last years he’s carved a name for his impeccable selections and personal style.

Here, he delights us with a journey that breezes between all shades of electro and we are delighted to share it with you!

Enjoy!

You may know the name of Lumbago for a few different reasons, and that is exactly how they like it. Whether it is down to the French electro label that is already responsible for fifteen releases under the imprint of the same name or the name of the Lyon DJ duo the result is the same. High-quality electronic music. Regulars on the French scene and further afield, their long-running Ninja Tools VA’s releases and full releases have welcomed a huge array of forward-thinking artists to their label and this will only grow and grow.

With this wide-screen view of the electronic landscape Lumbago has drilled right down into the raw modular sound and the result is a weaponised palette that is always primed to destroy the dancefloor. For their entry into our InSessions series, they make good on this promise with a finely curated collection of tracks that positively bristles with angular basslines, acid synth lines and blockbusting drums at every turn.

It’s time for our favorite toad to croak around ! 🐸

We first met @nathaanael in a (long) party he organized near Marseille some time back, and we never skipped tea since then ☕️ 

Don’t be fool by his young age 🐣, he is the wisest of them all 👴🏼 Behind a profusion of badass projects, labels, parties and festivals, he’s a true driving force of the new breath of Marseille’s rave scene.

On top of it, Nathanaël is a very talented dj with his very own style and technique. Aerial and classy, his MRS is yet another demo of Nathanael’s perfect blend of fresh energy and ancient wisdom. 

Enjoy ! 🐸

Barcelona-based artist Tunik, is a true master of synth-based music. So much so that the Argentinian is often one of the first artists that springs to mind when in need of a large dose of darkness. His productions and DJ sets speak to a higher power that sees his performances at the likes of Les Enfants Brillants, OUTPUT, and Razzmattaz in his adopted Barcelona, as well as a regular slew of the finest parties around the world. 

Being an in-demand artist doesn't stop Tunik from pursuing his own vision of electronic music. This was born in the shape of the Synth City project, and what followed was an evocative series of events at LEB. We are yet to even mention Tunik’s productions that only appear on labels that are at the vanguard of the underground. His longstanding connection to Dekmantel speaks volumes of the progression of his sound, as does his EP’s for Nicolas Lutz’ My Own Jupiter imprint and Further Electronix.

Tunik is without doubt a true force to be reckoned and we are thrilled to welcome him to our InSession podcast series. A self-confessed genre hopper, we are guided through a cosmic selection that all share an unspoken connection through the ethereal. Lush soundscapes soon give way to enticing breakbeats, mystic synths, and an unwavering groove that is as relentless as his own journey deep into the farthest reaches of his record bag. A sonic trip to truly induce a disconnect, we are certain that after one listen, you will be seeking out the Argentinian wherever possible.

Tunik - Trommel InSession 151

The LCDO podcast series continues with Zakir & his set that left a lasting impression in 2024, under the beloved « Chant des oiseaux » tent, the Nidoaso.
A Western-inspired, highly cinematic set, on which he worked passionately for over two years.
“At first, I started collecting Western tracks kind of by accident, and then gradually I ended up with several, without even looking for them. So I thought there was something to build from these sounds.”
Over those two years, he kept digging for Western gems, without pressure, but with a clear determination to make sense of it all: recording a set, starting over, listening back, dozens of times. Digging again.

This set is ultimately an adventure : an artist’s desire to tell us a story, and a true will to offer a listening experience that explores a singular, unexpected aesthetic.
