Dold LIVE @ Fuse, Brussels (24-06-08)

Exploring new shadows of electronic music

AUTUMN VIBES

My next guest on Yax Invites is James Smyth.

James, a Berlin-based producer and DJ, is known for his dynamic approach to techno. His Lebanese heritage plays a key role in shaping his sound, blending the rich, rhythmic textures of the Middle East into his music. Known for his carefully curated, dancefloor-focused tracks, James combines intricate sound design with a captivating hypnotic energy. His selection entices listeners to immerse themselves in deep grooves and atmospheric melodies, creating a journey that is both entrancing and mysterious. 

In this mix, James explores rising intensities at a constant bpm, creating an uplifting set that still feels grounded and tells a story. He layers multiple tracks that resonate with his unique perception of techno.

JAMES SMYTH - LIRA (MZR Edit) (Preorder BONUS JAMES SMYTH MZRRECORDS)

Founding member of Axces Recordings and Danish DJ/producer Kasper Marott returns to the Bassiani airwaves with a Zenaari edition that studies a much more phrenic side of his musical world. Driven by instinct, his work reflects a single minded aversion to commercial orthodoxy and the regular grind of a 40 hour work week: it’s all about feeling and a passion for creating the sounds that have kept him and his Copenhagen crew together, ‘nature, friends, family, home’. Forget the springy beats and dulcet melodies this time round, here is something entirely different and new. In stark contrast to his catalogue of jovial anthems, the likes of breakthrough hit Keflavik and 2021’s Mini Trance, Kasper’s inward-looking work slows those rhythms right down and investigates the possibilities of a sound much more restricted in palette. It’s a surprising turnaround for someone whose name evokes the breezy basslines of open-air jaunts, one packed with vibrating synths, understated instrumentals, and the electronic crackling of a wood fire on a balmy summer night. Zenaari Mix 018 is Kasper Marott like you’ve never heard him before, far from the dancefloor and burdening constraints of a rave context, Zenaari gives his inner world a voice, and the result is a rich, human and deep-toned 67 minute cut recorded in studio for this latest in the series.

Fresh new Wired Productions resident, born in Sicily in the mid-1990s and now based in Turin, he grew up within the vibrant Catania techno and hip-hop scene. Inspired by his father’s vinyl collection, he embraced the warmth of analog sound and, in 2015, began his path behind the decks.
