French Born Ouissam Mokretar was always drawn to Asia, making a home in Hong Kong before finally settling in Hanoi back in 2016. The logic was to find a space that allowed for him to create without the stressors of highly saturated music hubs and their exorbitant rents. His Midas touch transformed a corner of Hong Kong first, moving the goal posts of accepted nightlife culture from the get-go with his founding of record imprints Cliché, and the beloved Homesick and Fragrant Harbour, pushing a custom blend of disco, house and techno that’s made ripples across the city since. He cultivated the fertile soil of Vietnam’s capital next, with new venue Savage (its second iteration taking over the premises of the ex-Angolan embassy), constituent vinyl pit-stop Pond Records and its monthly queer night Snug, as well as local music festival Equation. Single handedly fostering a young community of music lovers is an impressive achievement, and Ouissam makes it look both easy and fun. His sound meanders through poppier house, synth to boogie, Italo to Cantopop. Korean disco, Japanese funk and the sounds of the Phrygian Scale borrowed from a little farther west - an ongoing love letter to his chosen continent. Bassiani Podcast 216 is a colourful blend of feel-good tunes cut from his set at Horoom back in March. Expansive and libertine, his hedonistic sound is a pure joy to dance to, a magnetic energy that’s surely played no small part in building his world as he has.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Ouissam / Podcast #216

Six hours recorded at one of my favourite clubs in the world, between the hours of 6am and 12pm. 
I absolutely loved doing this - taking the party deeper and deeper into after hours, and bringing everyone back to consciousness again in the second half. 
I LOVE NYC!

Roza Terenzi channels femme-forward rhythmic energy into an intoxicating blend of mind-bending dance music, sapphic mischief, and cybernetic flair. Emerging from Australia’s underground, she’s brought a playful and rebellious spirit to dancefloors worldwide with her genre-blurring sets and magnetic stage presence. Now based in Berlin, her high-voltage DJ sets—equal parts transcendent, chaotic, and fun—have lit up iconic festivals like Dekmantel and Sonar, as well as clubs like Panorama Bar, Bassiani, and De School.

If there is a fundamental sonic attitude to be drawn out by Space, it came through here as Hannah D’s (@hld) method in finding those middle grounds in tech-house, progressive, and psych-techno went on full display. Spectral atmospherics on a broadly rolling prog momentum intermeshed with a bouncier tech house edge gave a combined drive to 2+ hours of effortless dance-music

Kune Festival 2025: Hannah D @ Space Stage

Our sunrise recording from Meredith is now up online!

To say this has been our bucket list gig of all time would still be an understatement. We are blown away by the love (and stamina), from everyone that stayed up with us to the most glorious sun-drenched 7am of our lives.

We’d love to thank the entire hard working and talented team at this festival! And special thanks to our dearest friend Katie Pearson for being the best stage manager and friend in the world, we felt so held and safe up there, and to Milly for added moral support 🙂
To Kayzar for lighting up the sup to stratospheric levels, to David and Roy for working magic from the sound booth, our agent James Ware for always being there for us, to Mary for calming energy and a tight transfer schedule, to Kale and chip for capturing the mems, to Jungles Jungles for kitting us out, and to all our besties in the front row.

And to anyone who has come to one of our parties over the last 13 years 😀

Honorable mention to Miki for the interstate kickon pipeline 🙏🏾

Mastered with love by Morgan Wright.

We hope this recording brings some joy to you all
