Steve Rachmad’s techno project STERAC has for many years been a seminal force in his native Netherlands and beyond. Releasing over 100 releases across the much feted Delsin, Klockworks, Mote-Evolver, Tresor and others, he’s become something of a cult figure, and dubbed a father of Detroit in The Netherlands for added points. It’s hard to imagine a more venerated artist and there’s good reason why, Rachmad’s fearless approach to production puts him a cut above many of his peers, often taking pure feeling and a collection of well worn machines as a starting point and trusting his gut along the path to finished product. For Bassiani Podcast 190, the Dutch master of techno delivers a thorough lesson in expert mixing. From orchestral strings to utilitarian bleeps, Rachmad’s sound bridges a gap no one else can. An ode to the motor city with a healthy measure of string composition thrown in, recorded live at the club during the Token X Reclaim Your City night on November 3rd.

Bassiani invites Sterac / Podcast #190

Arthur Robert, a distinguished recording artist originally hailing from Vienna, Austria, and presently rooted in the vibrant electronic music scene of Berlin, Germany. 

With a professional tenure in music production and composition since 2014, he has seamlessly woven his multifaceted heritage into the intricate tapestry of his musical identity. Initiating his journey at the age of sixteen, Arthur immersed himself in the world of DJing drum and bass music, navigating the analog allure of vinyl records. A pivotal encounter with Berlin’s iconic Berghain venue solidified his commitment to shaping sonic landscapes, propelling him into a trajectory that led through Amsterdam, ultimately refining his craft within the confines of his studio. 

Arthur’s sonic signature is a mélange of live electronics, puristic approaches, groove-driven foundations inspired by Detroit’s legacy, and nuanced influences of jungle and breaks. This unique amalgamation reflects his ongoing artistic evolution, captured impeccably in live sets and published tracks—an unedited testament to the essence of his vision. 

Beyond the realm of techno, Arthur ventures into crafting soundtracks harmonizing with cinematic narratives. An eagerly awaited film score, scheduled for release in late 2019 or early 2020, signifies the pinnacle of this diversification.

 As an educator, Arthur prioritizes sharing his insights in sound design and music production, considering the role of teaching paramount in his perpetual pursuit of excellence. A seasoned electronic musician, he commands global stages, delivering live performances that transcend boundaries and serve as a testament to the timeless potency of creativity.

SPND20 Mixtape by Setaoc Mass

"Earlier this year I was playing at a friend's birthday party in Croatia (hi Allan). He is a connoisseur of electronic music so the people he invited to play were pretty diverse, music style-wise. It's really rare for me to be blown away by someone's set but after me a guy called Odd from Kuala Lumpur started playing and he blew me away to pieces. Not only did he play some of the best techno I heard all year (I didn't recognize a single track) but he did it in a way that I realized I was sorely missing: stable, hypnotic, groovy (actually groovy, not just a big kick and then some afterthoughts behind it), always advancing but also always persuasive in its message.
I hope I channeled a bit of what he did in this set. It's very hard for someone who grew up listening to too much IDM/Braindance to be as patient and consistent as is needed for this type of sets, but I think I managed to meet this very fond memory of a summer morning and my wanderlust for the entire spectrum of emotions and energies somewhere halfway.

Anyways, Odd and Allan - this one is for you."

Reclaim Your City 574 | Lewis Fautzi (Barcelos)

An habitué of seminal techno labels such as Rotterdamian outlet Mord Records and Spanish imprint PoleGroup, Portuguese producer Lewis Fautzi has been dishing out warehouse rippers one after the other this past decade. Now at the helm of his own structure, Faut Section, Fautzi keeps on serving up that fiery mix of no-nonsense industrial pound and mental techno ostinatos, ready to subjugate any crowd in its drop zone. Clearly not for the faint of heart, his blends combine the wildness of 909-powered trampling with untamed onslaughts of hypnotic synth furls and heavy-duty, aggro percussions gone rogue. Treat yourself to an absolute mind-boggler of a mix with this two-hour jaunt into Fautzi’s delectably murky sonic domain.

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
