APXIB ㉙ MAMA SNAKE

For Amsterdam DJ Afra, wax is the medium of choice. Her weekly routine will often entail casting her eponymous jewellery pieces (Afra Amba), with weekends spent spinning vinyls at Spielraum, Herrensauna, and Säule. Her start in music came early, listening to Miss Kittin, tweaking frequencies on her dad’s home-studio equipment and buying her first decks at 16, followed a brief two years later by her enthusiastic DJ debut. Citing a need to develop before starting to play, she focused on the former craft and came back to DJing once she’d found her voice. And found it she now has. With a soft-spot for noughties electro and the wobbling sounds of the Dutch West Coast, her gritty sets and output on co-run label Mindri are the stuff apocalyptic dreams are made of. This Bassiani Podcast instalment is sinister, rough and unflinching, Afra’s voice become automaton roar.

REC33 w/ Mama Snake

Last year, on November 30th, Fuse welcomed Denmark's Mama Snake to our control room in light of her Amniote Editions night.  With an untamed aura spreading through the space, the dark hours were marked by hypnotic, slightly mental, and utterly intense temperaments.

Snapping between writhing acid lines, crisp tribal rhythms, and trance-laced techno, her selections struck a perfect balance between the meditative and the manic. The floor was hers: fluid, fierce, and full of intent. A reminder that mastery doesn’t always shout; it listens, reacts, and dares to draw outside the lines when the need knocks.

Mama Snake ― Recorded Live at Fuse (30.11.24)

Waves of pulsing, layered techno from the revered Mala Junta resident.

If the electronic music industry is caught in the crosshairs of a battle over what makes for true techno, then D.Dan is one of the underground's great modern emissaries.

A figurehead from the new guard of DJs to arise in the '20s, the Berlin-based artist and Mala Junta resident is an ambassador for a sound that is strongly anchored in the classic roots of techno. His productions, like his mixes, are revved-up takes on the hypnotic wormholes that defined dance floors last decade, but with a fresh (and high BPM) millennial twist. 

Originally from Seattle, D.Dan became enamoured with the spectral stylings of psych rock and shoegaze in adolescence. It's not difficult to see how the cosmic tapestry of bands like Cocteau Twins became a blueprint for the entrancing music he's gone on to make as an adult. His releases on Mutant Future and summerpup are latticeworks of loops and layered percussion, custom-tooled for lost hours on the dance floor and drawn-out mixes behind the decks. 

This approach directly extends into his DJ practice, where he pairs song selections from contemporaries that mirror his own reduced, controlled approach to techno. RA.994 is a Grade A display of contemporary four-to-the-floor from flagbearers like Roll Dann and Marcal.

And like D.Dan's standalone records, his RA Podcast finds room for sweetness—the intermittent peal of an open clap, the steady ripening of a chord—while ultimately emphasising the beauty of function and form over flair.

RA.994 D.Dan

With his Malta debut just around the corner, DJ Tool drops into the Glitch podcast with a no-frills, 85-minute session showcasing the sound he's been championing lately. The Mala Junta co-founder brings a heavy dose of raw, modern techno: loop-driven, drum-forward, and laced with hypnotic tension. Rough around the edges in all the right ways.

Presenting my new single “Mc'Kennas Dream” ✨

This track has been road-tested across some of the biggest psychedelic dancefloors in the world — including Boom Festival (Portugal), Orin Aya (Australia), Hilltop Goa, Mexico, and many more. The response has been unreal, and it’s officially dancefloor approved.

I’ve been dropping it in all my recent sets, and it's become a powerful highlight every time.
