Vault Sessions #081 - Beste Hira

Kicking off full speed comes an hour of untrammelled techno from Belgian artist Phara. The Fuse Brussels resident has racked up quite a following with his club focused sound, both via slick releases as much as behind decks spinning vinyl-only sets. Post-punk, wave, EBM, electro, Detroit and Berlin provide the context for a curious talent that has published warped melodies on blue chip labels like Soma, SK Eleven, Stockholm LTD and Planet Rhythm. His off kilter earmark is available too via his ‘gimmick-free’ record label Phaaar, a more immediate and personal vessel for his own experiments in sound. And it’s not all off the shelf, 2022 saw him take his Korg EMX-1 onstage for a debut live performance that presents yet another side to his many-layered craft, and a new alias titled In Glass promises to reimagine both house and dubbier references. With bated breath comes this next instalment, powerful beats from the get go, tracks with striking forward momentum interwoven with atomic precision and a primary feeling for ambiance that doesn’t miss a trick. Phara taps a wealth of experience and knowledge of records for Bassiani Podcast 222, shadowy frequencies and volative basslines, everything you love about techno brought together by this prolific and multifaceted artist.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Phara / Podcast #222

UNFOLD you were on fire!

The energy of the room got me hooked and locked in the zone as few times before.

When I found out that my friend @jason.etal had recorded almost the whole set in his phone, I couldn’t resist and I decided to include the voices and everything was happening live (in the background) as part of the recording - the raw vibe of the room.

Shoutout to @voicedrone , @jamesnewmarch , all the artists of the night, the UNFOLD crew for making it happen and of course all of you who made it so special!

Set Time: 18:00-20:00
Location: FOLD London

Can't wait to be back. <3

OECUS Podcast 451 // JONAS KOPP

Greek-born and Berlin-based, producer and DJ AgainstMe is a resident at SMUT Athens and a co-founder of the SOCIETY 3000 collective. His project is rooted in the ongoing quest to connect with one's inner voice. For him, techno — characterized by hypnotic melodies, pounding drum patterns, and a ritualistic intensity — offered a revolutionary and unifying sound that sharply contrasted with everything he had known before.

Since discovering his passion for techno in 2014 at just 16 years old, his sound has steadily evolved, and his releases have gained international recognition. His DJ sets, much like his productions, weave together driving rhythms and atmospheric textures, creating immersive experiences that captivate audiences around the globe.

This is a live recording from the Kinitra III Fundraiser at Tillatec in Amsterdam, held on Friday, May 16, 2025.

CLOSERcast #095 - AGAINSTME

Jakarta-born DJ and producer Ecilo has spent over a decade carving out his place in the global techno continuum. Emerging in 2008, his sound draws from the pulse of jazz, soul, and blues; then thrusts it deep into the hypnotic realms of sci-fi soundtracks, dub atmospheres, and percussive density.

With releases on seminal imprints like AXIS, ARTS, Planet Rhythm, and Olympian, Ecilo has become a driving force in Southeast Asia’s techno movement. His debut album Uncovert, released on Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, was a landmark moment, fusing cosmic vision with raw industrial energy.

From residencies at Vault Bali and Kilo Lounge Jakarta to international appearances on stages like DOMMUNE Japan, Ecilo’s sets are heavy, heady, and deeply immersive. His sound is rooted in tradition, but fearless in its evolution; Detroit by spirit, Indonesia by soul.

For 255, he delivers a mix that’s locked-in, layered, and laser-focused. Full of many surprises, here's 2 hours of Ecilo at full tilt.

Tune in and descend.

Ketch - Upclose 2025

@amotikmusic
''When I first played at Pax-Romana exactly 3 years ago, I immediately felt a connection with the crew and the crowd. Plus, we share a birthday! I’m very honoured to continue our relationship with Friends of Pax.

This set is representative of what I am playing right now in the clubs: a collection of no-nonsense favourites that have been going down well for me over the past few months''.

We met Amotik when he played the closing at our 1st anniversary. Since that moment, everything felt organic and warm, just like his closing track 'Knights of the Jaguar'. We share a birthday, so our paths will be linked forever, and we're super grateful to have him in the PAX-COLLECTIVE!
