Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Kancheli

Giorgi Kancheli is a Georgian producer and resident DJ at Bassiani who has been crucial in shaping the country’s club culture. Growing up in the dark and crumbling Tbilisi, in the ’90s, has greatly influenced his musical identity.

Kancheli’s professional relationship with music began with percussion, and at the age of 17, he was already playing at the Tbilisi jazz festival. Soon after that, he got into electronic music and has now been an active DJ for over 15 years. In early 2010, Kancheli and his friends started the project ‘Stare at DJ’, which quickly became the main event of the country’s evolving club scene. Today, Kancheli is one of the most popular DJs in his hometown Tbilisi, headlining many major festivals in Georgia and performing at the industry’s most respected venues such as Berghain, Robert Johnson, Shelter, Dimensions, and CTM Festival.
Besides spinning the decks, Giorgi also writes and produces his own music.
In spring 2020, his debut solo EP “Earthshaketrance” got released on Bassiani Records.
Kancheli also co-runs the label Shin Records - a label focused on emerging Georgian producers.

Enjoy!

Fast Forward Audio Series #69: Kancheli

TASCAM DR-40X

DJ Sense - Poligraf, Yerevan. 26.11.2021

Previous Podcast guests Ndrx and Newa return to the series with Bassiani Podcast 168, a b2b live set recorded back at the club in early March. These twin flames are faithful custodians of the Georgian scene and not for nothing. Independently, the duo have a discernible in-your-face spirit all their own, but together they make for a formidable pair whose sound for sore ears is thrilling and instinctual. Their surging techno bouts are the result of a flawless combo that sprints between slamming beats and underwater echoes with a kindling tempo designed to pique your primal senses. Watch this space, the duo’s skull sessions are reciprocal spellwork in the making, and who knows what they’ll summon up next.

At the helm for this next one is local-grown whizz kid Natia Pailodze. She’s the recondite face behind the decks at Horoom, without so much as a flinch, spinning ice-cool sounds that gradually scale and make an intimate home of whatever space they might fill. Her unadulterated techno steers clear of typical tropes and delivers something keenly personal, intelligent loops that playfully coil and dance with their pliant crowd. As for Bassiani Podcast 169: she’s just as ingenious in the studio, gradually building a complex palette of off-kilter tunes and drumloops of the most persistent stripe. This rising tide is coursing along at her own speed, a force fated for big things: this hour long segue is just Olly breaking ground.

Reclaim Your City 550 | Kvanchi (Tbilisi)

Closing the chapter of our Bassiani takeover for July, here comes Tbilisi’s Kvanchi, providing the very kind of fire we needed to top off a month of Georgian heat over at RYC. Infused with deeper Detroit tech flavors and strains of effusive acid hoodoo, Kvanchi’s mixes are testaments to the old-school sound, all set at bringing dance floors to a simmer through nonstop bouncy momentums and bespoke soulful selections. True to this approach, Kvanchi’s RYC podcast keeps it buoyant from start to finish, as it nimbly navigates the frontier between hi-NRG house traction from back in the day, electroid / breaks-heavy charges and a touch of ghetto-tech-informed irreverence. Clearly toasting to the Motor City’s heritage, a most fitting wrap-up to that longed-for Bassiani x RYC takeover. We hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we did.
