The Feminine, as the complementary 'other' of the Masculine. From the perspective of the latter, it is dark and it glows.

MNMT 413 : Faery

Luxembourg’s Ogazón (of Nathalie Ogazón Faber) followed her studies to the Netherlands and fell deep down the rabbit hole of Amsterdam nightlife, Trouw she recounts as transformative. Enough so that she followed that thread starting in the mid 2010s as neophyte DJ before upping sticks for Berlin a few years later. There, her passion for digging and upbeat outlook landed her in Ryan Elliot’s sights, a partnership that’s taken B2B form on more than a few occasions and led to further work with fellow blue chipper Marcel Dettmann (she signed to his agency in 2023). These days Ogazón’s sound is spreading to the pace of its rapid tempo, and her schedule’s all the more punishing for it. Dekmantel, Awakenings, DGTL, Berghain, Robert Johnson, the list gets longer. Refusing trivial categorisations, her work pivots between groovy house and austere techno, bringing together various influences (the ambient inclinations of Sofia Coppola she also cites) and keeping her vision broad. For Bassiani Podcast 241 she errs on the side of techno, delivering a profound two-hour mix that marches unrepentantly forward, zipping from ascetic track to track and building an atmosphere thick with subtle detail. This is deep, utilitarian techno for unsettled times and Ogazón leads the way.

Bassiani invites Ogazón / Podcast #241

For our twenty third installment we've invited August, an upcoming DJ and dancefloor regular based in Amsterdam.

August loves to explores the deeper, more experimental and organic side of techno. His sets blend intricate soundscapes, broken rhythms, and dark ambient influences, creating deep, immersive experiences that transport listeners to otherworldly realms.

Beyond conventional techno, August delves into ambient, downtempo, halftime, and IDM, crafting dynamic sets that keep audiences captivated. His performances balance the experimental with the danceable, each one a carefully curated journey and story waiting to be told.

Some words by Bart about his mix:
I wanted to create a mix that captures the essence of the dancefloor, focusing on storytelling, deep kicks, and impressive soundscapes. These elements are what I value most in a set.

In the past, I struggled to capture the vibrant energy of a club while working from home or in the studio. This time, I decided to limit myself to just two attempts at recording, which allowed me to focus on the creative process rather than getting caught up in perfectionism. This approach worked really well, and I had a great time recording. I'm excited to share the final result—it's a club-focused mix with tracks from all my favorite producers."

Marie Pravda DJ set recorded at the Tepuy x Garden ritual on 26.01.2025, Pereira, Colombia.

Marie Pravda at Tepuy x Garden 2025

High above the stars, where the wind no longer blows and silence envelops the universe, rises a mountain of angular rock - ancient and lonely in the endless darkness. Its peaks stretch out and touch the light of past suns. It listens to the whispers of distant galaxies and the mesmerising cosmic storms that Re:Axis brings to our ears.

José Diogo Correia aka Re:Axis started his journey in sound at young age, perceiving the vibrations from acoustic and electronic instruments as a tool to create space and travel within. He has released music and toured the world since 2006. It was the year he set the love intentions to share, connect and get inspired through energy and frequencies. All the experience and maturity acquired over the past makes him a unique artist of the dance music scene, whose musical development we have been following for a long time. So we are more than delighted to have the chance to host him and his music on our imprint. 

Re:Axis provides us with a mix that skilfully combines repetitive, hypnotic patterns with mystical and cosmic atmospheres, all underlined with a special psychedelic twist. He stays true to his name and manifests a real sound mantra - a steady movement around a central axis that is constantly changing and yet remains stable. The music becomes a rotation, a trance, a journey that leads both into the inner self and into the boundless outer space.

Dynamic Spheres #027 - Re:Axis

“There is a certain smell in a room when the set is good. Your body notices it immediately. It’s a delicate mix of many variables. The sound needs to have all the layers and depth, then it acts like glue. People need to be present so that whenever you lock eyes with someone, you feel grounded. The bodies have got to be responding to music in a way natural for them, and then the bodily fluids start seeping into the air. But all of this can only happen when the music is delivered honestly. With love, intention, opinion opinion, and with a real dedication to sharing and connecting. I felt that when Madeleine and Daniel were playing on Ankali’s 8th Anniversary. The room smelled like the perfect set – and with that, you can’t go wrong. It fuels you to give even more.”
