Fernando Sanz se ha dedicado firmemente al arte de los ritmos y los breaks desde que era un joven de 14 años en la soleada ciudad portuaria de Algeciras, en el sur de España. Bajo el sello Orbe Records, Sanz ha cultivado su propia y próspera comunidad techno como artista y director del sello. Desde 2014 Orbe Records ha estado lanzando el techno de los compañeros de Sanz, Eduardo De La Calle y Steve Stoll, pero sobre todo del prolífico nombre de Sanz, Orbe. Como DJ y productor, Orbe mantiene un ambiente surrealista y ensoñador, a la vez que utiliza sutiles patrones de caja de ritmos para martillear los sólidos platónicos que mantienen intacta su querida comunidad.
Su interés por un sonido conceptual le hizo prestar atención a los ritmos techno, pasando por diferentes hardware como "Buchla Lem3" o "Andromeda" un estilo que le ha llevado a editar en sellos como "Hivern discs" de "John Talabot" o el prestigioso y veterano "Mental Groove" y pasar por grandes clubs como Propaganda (Moscú), Fuse (Bruselas), Le Sucre (Lyon) o Fabrique (Milán). Tras editar varios maxis en su propio sello y otros como "Analog Solutions" de "Eduardo de la Calle", Fernando lanza el Ep "Music of the spheres" que, con un remix de "Steve Stoll" le situaría como uno de los artistas emergentes de la escena techno europea, comenzando a actuar en lugares como Alemania, Holanda o Lituania entre otros.

Another live recording from the Reclaim Your City X Token night in early November and this one‘s a banger. Marcal is the budding Brazilian star act you may have heard of, commanding recognition post pandemic with his highly addictive loops. That’s certainly true in the case of Radio Slave, who played one of the former’s tracks on his show for Rinse FM and sought out the talent responsible. A serendipitous (online) meeting that blossomed into a deeper connection and had Marcal signed to Rekids, Enemy Records and Token. And here they are a little down the line and all the luckier for it. Marcal’s focus is on intelligent and minimal builds, those that work by way of rhythmic complexity and highly developed textures, brainy techno with a pinch of mischief. Bassiani Podcast 192 is a prime example of that formula in action, a two hour dose of the finest cuts and hardest basslines recorded live on the Bassiani floor.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Marcal / Podcast #192

In less than a decade of total devotion to DJing and production, Spanish artist Orbe has dropped more material than some shall ever dream of putting out in a lifetime. Obviously not just quantity, but quality at that, as dispensed through key techno imprints of our age including Axis, Token, Mote-Evolver, Semantica, his own eponymous record label and a host more… Clocking in with a fierce and untamed two-hour sonic safari spanning vast expanses and more claustrophobic spaces, Orbe treats us to a mind-altering whirlwind of echoes and signals, where big-room thrillers rub shoulders with off-piste explorations and brutalist plications. This one hits hard.

Reclaim Your City  

Reclaim Your City 583 | ORBE

This next one’s a very special B2B set from two of techno’s freshest talents. German/Dutch pairing Phil Berg and Lobster have emerged from their respective habitats masters of their art. From raves in both their homelands to releases on SK-eleven, HAYES, Room Trax and positivesource, as well as a shared residency for Vault Sessions that’s brought them here for Bassiani Podcast 210, the duo posit a deep and driving compound of high-voltage rhythms in their day-to-day praxis. Slamming techno that has claimed a rightful space among the greatest names of their generation. Layer by layer, an instinctive formulation of heaving basslines and delicate hi-hats balanced with utmost precision. It’s a seamless communion of complementary worldviews in respect to sound, a rich tapestry of ever morphing loops. It’s focus on gradual build, a slowly evolving chimera in lieu of schmaltzy instant gratification. This latest edition clocks in at three hours, a redacted version of their 12 hour set for the Vault Sessions night at Bassiani back in early February. Immersive and rolling, monolith techno that’s sure to set a higher bar for those who follow.

BUCLE SERIES 009: Drucal

We are glad to present Drucal is a Colombian artist based in Barcelona, with regular releases on the legendary record label Molecular Recordings. 

With his distinctive sound, he has earned a place in the sets of some of the biggest names on the global scene and, as a DJ, has brought his music to various cities across Spain and Colombia.

Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke, James Ruskin, Phase Fatale, and DVS1 are just a few of the heavyweights who have shown support for Drucal’s work and sound.

His releases are a study in contrast: dense, fluid low-end rhythms support atmospheric layers that flow with intent, creating a tension between power and introspection.

With consistency and creative clarity, Drucal continues to carve out his place in the scene.

Enjoy the mix and get lost in the sound of the underground.
