Inside an Abandon Warehouse

04reference @ Plus One, Tbilisi

Red Room Sessions is a nonprofit podcast radio project born from a deep love for techno and rave culture — a space where freedom, raw energy, and underground sound collide. Rooted in the origins of the scene, it stays true to the essence: no trends, no filters, just pure sonic exploration. The name Red Room Sessions comes from the red glow often seen in clubs — it sets the tone and makes you feel like you’ve entered another world. It’s not just about music; it’s about the full experience, the atmosphere, the energy.

This episode introduces 04reference — a DJ, music producer, and the founder of Red Room Sessions. Her sound blends raw techno, elements of trance, electro, acid house, and bass, but her core remains rooted in techno. Her sets are an exploration of hypnotic rhythms, tribal grooves, and deep, percussive energy. The name 04reference is a nod to her birthday — April 4 — making it a deeply personal marker, detached from gender or cultural labels and rooted purely in lived experience. Whether behind the decks or producing music, she carves out a sound that stays underground, emotional, and entirely self-defined.

Texas native Gi Gi deals in head-down propulsive music. He’s released on a cast of labels including Good Morning Tapes (AUS), Quiet Time (USA), and INDEX:Records (UK/DE). Utilizing a collage-based approach that takes in a wide swath of source material, the result is a peculiar strain of ambient dance music equally at home in headphones or the back rooms of a club. 

As a DJ, the introspection that characterizes his music echoes throughout, but the net is cast wider. The energy inches upwards, and styles that trace contours in his productions present themselves more directly. Gi Gi brings nuance and warmth to his DJing, nudging dancers towards reflection and loungers towards movement.

來自德州的 Gi Gi 擅長製作深邃且具推進感的音樂。他曾於多個廠牌發行作品，包括 Good Morning Tapes (澳洲)、Quiet Time (美國) 和 INDEX:Records (英國/德國)。他的創作運用拼貼式手法，採納大量不同來源的素材，產生出一種獨特的氛圍舞曲，無論是透過耳機聆聽或在俱樂部的後場空間，都能自在呈現。

作為 DJ，他的音樂特有的內省特質依然存在，但風格更為廣泛，能量逐步升溫。那些在他製作作品中較為隱晦的風格線條，在他的 DJ 演出中則更加鮮明直接。Gi Gi 的 DJ 風格細膩且充滿溫度，能引導舞者進入思考，也促使靜坐的聽眾隨之起舞。

We're none too fond of terms like 'selector' here at the figurative 12th Isle HQ. We think it was a shrewd marketing ploy concocted by natural wine bar owners - and possibly the freemasons - who repackaged the spergy single-mindedness of record nerds into something that sounded much more socially agile and cool in order to distract punters from the exorbitant price of nibbles. Thankfully, the time of white label soundtracked £40 sashimi seems to be behind us, and DJing can go back to being obsessives playing odd music made by even odder folk without much in the way of pretence. Someone who encapsulates that kind of energy has very kindly put together a nearly 4 hour long sprawl and has stated that under no circumstances should this mix be enjoyed alongside thinly sliced bits of raw beef and wine with bits in it or there will be hell to pay. Floor Length Skirts for Forecast 79, it's good gear like.

DJ ojo - Total internal reflection (clips) [BLNK026]

"Voices drew them down in the water.
Dense, damp air dripped from the walls.
Hazy red reflections shivered across their skin,
a feeble touch dragging them inward,
guided by invisible hands.

When all was done
and movements faded into mist,
murmurs turned crystalline.
Light lifted them slowly—
morning claimed them at the surface."

04reference is a DJ, producer, and the founder of Red Room Sessions — a space for sonic introspection and unfiltered club expression. Her sound is rooted in techno but resists containment: weaving through trance, acid, electro, and bass, she crafts immersive sets where rhythm becomes ritual and repetition becomes release.

The alias 04reference is a quiet act of self-definition — a personal timestamp tied to her birthdate, April 4, yet detached from gender, trends, or scenes. It speaks to an identity shaped not by labels, but by emotion and lived experience.

Her recent debut EP “Kinda Deejay” captures this ethos — raw, reflective, and charged with the tension between solitude and shared experience. Red Room Sessions continues that thread: a refusal to conform, a commitment to the underground, and an invitation to feel rather than follow.

Lately, 04reference has been experimenting with the delivery, trying out new approaches and striving to create more profound, intricate sonic experiences, crafting not just regular club night selections, but exploratory cross-genre ones. This set is a part of that research. Enjoy.

The latest mix comes from one of the scene’s true pillars and a key conduit between Tokyo and New York’s dance-music communities. DJ Healthy, an old friend of the label and one of our all-time favorite selectors, delivers a set that only strengthens that bond.

Words from the artist :

This is a full live recording from a opening set of Nowadays Nonstop in August.
I was conscious of the texture of sound through the set from dubby, psychedelic to groovy techno/house. Playing at Nowadays is always special and gratefully a lot of people showed up from early hour. I’m glad how it went and to put this out through NAFF mix series. Hope you enjoy!
