BEFORE THE CURFEW ⑬ SERGE JAZZMATE

Co-founder of Norway’s future-facing Ute crew, Ekkel (Teo Bachs) has a front-row seat in the cockpit on their psychedelic flavoured quest. From their woodland beginnings they’ve staked a claim to freedom through music and community, and expanded to include brick and mortar club nights and a self-titled label for the release of their magnetic and mysterious techno sounds. Forest-bath electronics that take stock of Scandinavia’s ambient tradition and cross-pollinate it with a measure of acid, trance and midnight sun. Teo’s own steadily rising number of productions (side project H25 included) has fleshed out Ute’s vision with a personal twist, and there’s another three scheduled for the fall. The past few years too have seen him hard at work exploring the possibilities of sound in a lonely cabin as part of Solar Alliance, collaborating with S.O.N.S on Korean label Junction Forest and producing many more unreleased tracks, some of which you’ll hear here first for a very special number. It’s a wormhole trip that marches headlong from the shadows, shimmering and physical beats that heave and swell, tribal breaks that flit from track to track and build a cathartic mood that harks back to Ute’s woodland roots. Teo hits the airwaves with a solemn and ritualistic hour and a half of occult techno for Bassiani Podcast 229. 100% unreleased Ekkel productions, It's one you won't want to miss.

BEFORE THE CURFEW ㉕ RECID B2B VITALII SHEVCHENKO

Alves Ds - Detect Bass

acid music-4

A peak time minimal tech weapon designed for the late hours of the night.
This one’s built around tight percussion, hypnotic energy, and driving low-end grooves that keep the floor locked in from start to finish.
Perfect for those dark rooms, warehouse sets, and after-hours when the energy’s high and the vibe turns deep.

Heavy Soul (Original Mix)
