Local selector and Horoom resident Dito Chikovani delivers a perfect dose of blissful house for Bassiani Podcast 180. His trade is intimate and done by feeling, mood being key to his dancefloor dialogues, no doubt helped by an impeccable taste for records that lends a hint of the unexpected to his work on the decks. This modus operandi naturally extends to this next instalment: patient, confidently shapeshifting through space and time, communicating through progressive rhythms, sultry melodies and deeper interludes. This one’s a live recording from the Bassiani season closing night back in July when he took over opening duties just ahead of DJ Masda. Close to three hours packed with uplifting beats and dreamy synths for balmy summer nights.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Dito / Podcast #180

Welcome to our first release! 

Grab the Digi / 12inch on Bandcamp: https://eraspecificnoise.bandcamp.com/album/espn001

The first edition of Era Specific Noise is both an ode to the early 2000s and the debut of a new alias by label founder Richardson. Having spent the better part of his recent memory scouring record stores and consuming more VG+ dance music than is medically recommended, this 12-inch marks a personal shift towards character-filled production without limitation.

Armed with a growing appreciation for the originality and love poured into old-school techno, ESPN001 is the first glimpse into Richardson's fast-growing stockpile of musical weaponry.

We kick things off with "Introductions", the first of two upbeat, vocal-laden pieces of DJ-friendly dance music that make up the A side. A new hardware-focused approach produces whirling, stabbing chords and a groovy baseline to meet the eponymous sample of this track. Up next, "Coming In Hot" which does just that - presenting a cohesion of warm, groovy techno littered with dubby synths and a throwback feel.

On the flip side is a pair of fresh takes reminiscent of the more functional sound of the era - the timeless, loopy techno that powers dancefloors worldwide. There’s nothing quite like finding a hidden gem on the B side! Robotic vocal loopings and a galloping low-end form “Notch”, a warehouse tune completed by a warmer feeling send-off littered with floating pads and a classic Reese bass. Closing out the release is “Synthetic Scream”, a synthesiser in anguish showcasing an almost mournful interpretation of the 909 era, complete with fast, driving percussion and classic break hits.

Welcome to Era Specific Noise - New school old school.

FOWRU 002 | Eerste Communie invites Victor

W133 presents its first solo EP by label Papa Pino Peña!

It’s the first full release by him on the label, for which he has crafted 3 new original tunes in his signature percussive sound, along with one re-released track!

First up is rumba-driven tech house wobbler “Little Closer”. The UK-influenced stabs and the cheesy vocals do indeed make you want to move a little closer together on the dancefloor and shake it out. On A2, “Iramam” comes rumbling in—a highly swung percussive stomper with melancholic pads and mystical choirs setting the mood as it flows away.

On the flipside, the vibrating pads of “Run” come creeping in. The energetic yet emotional techno tune develops like a long run through the city in an early 2000s video game. It was initially released on a VA in 2021 and has since then gained many festival and club plays. Now it will be released for the first time on wax.
The last tune on the record is “Cama Loca”—a bouncy, shaky house tune with tons of percussion and freaked-out creepy melodies, which will make you feel like everything is spinning once you close your eyes!

As always, the release is accompanied by a carton cover sleeve with an analogue photo from Philipp Roth. 100 vinyl copies and everywhere digitally available from 04.07. on.

Call for Summer 🌻 #2

Recorded at SOUNDIT Plaza in Barcelona on 5 April 2025.

“IF THIS ISNT RA MIX OF THE DAY WE’LL STOP PRESSING PLAY 🤪"

Eoin’s DJ sets draw from all corners of the dance music spectrum — weaving together psychedelic techno, rolling trance, breakbeats, dubby textures, and percussive cuts with ease. With over a decade of experience behind the decks, their sound is grounded, fluid and trippy, with a knack for building immersive, late-night atmospheres that sit somewhere between intensity and introspection.

This mix was recorded at home in one take using two XDJ-700s and a Xone 23 mixer. It was put together in one take and serves as a kind of aural companion to Eoin's Second Sky release — a snapshot of the more techno-leaning side of their sound.

Eoin DJ's "Second Sky" EP is out now on @systema7a. Their ‘Get Now’ EP has also just been announced on @9finity-hq

Vinyl-Only House Mix | FAMOS Re-Recorded | @dalschoen

‘An Invitation To Disappear’ is the debut LP by British electronic musician Inland aka Ed Davenport (@counterchange-inland) – and his first release for A-TON. Based on his soundtrack for a video installation by conceptual artist Julian Charrière, Davenport has recast the material and field recordings into eight tracks of rhythmically intricate electronics and spectral, ambient techno, inspired by Charrière’s visually striking, 76-minute tracking shot through a palm plantation toward a totemic soundsystem on full blast.
