Island Podcast 050 I VINZ (Pryma)

Step into BassLands — a new sonic territory carved out by UNS Records and DoubleTrouble. Born at the intersection of deep rhythms and raw emotion, this monthly journey premieres with a powerful set from Andu Simion — a boundary-pushing artist known for his textured grooves and hypnotic flow.

Aiming every first Friday of the month, BassLands isn’t just a podcast — it’s a ritual. A space to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with the underground pulse.

Welcome to the first descent into the lands of bass.
Let it move you.

BassLands (by UNS and Double Trouble) - Ep.1 - Andu Simion

After the response from her more downtempo track for our Free Download series we thought it only right to follow up with Xiaolin for a mix for our InSessions series. The Hong Kong native is well-versed in all manner of electronic music spheres, but her penchant lies at the rawer, bleepy end of house music and minimal. As well as these serious club sounds, Xiaolin is also a fine purveyor of more traditional sounds and is a regular face on the Canto Pop scene. 

Recorded live at Mihn Club in Hong Kong, Xiaolin takes control of the atmospheric nightspot from the very beginning of this episode of our mix series. Stripping the action back to the fundamental elements, she injects power moves after power moves into the dancefloor as if priming for tracks that are yet to be introduced. Her unhurried, methodical touch speaks volumes as the next groove and bassline comes thudding into view. While the poppier side of her sound is more carefree, Xiaolin’s mix for our podcast series offers freedom of mind as well as of body.

talking to the forest

Enceladus, the icy moon of the almighty Saturn carries so many secrets, one of them questioning the existence of life on it. 

One thing is for sure: life is thriving in Toronto's undegrounds, with bright sparks of creativity coming from Edan's studio. Beside managing Microforum Vinyl Pressing’s production and quality control with over 15K records per day, Edan finds time to dig through records. Here's a carefully selected selection he put together as he took over the Strangers In The Night series. Expect an eclectic ride, rich textured as well as stripped down to its bare essentials, from progressive to minimal house and touching everything between. Enjoy it as much as we did!

Strangers In The Night: Edan

Sohrab Karimi aka Ahu https://soundcloud.com/ahu_sohrab is a producer born in Tehran, Iran, living in Berlin nowadays. Ahu is one of the few artists who prefer to adopt low profile, with little to almost no information about him, beside his music.

Ahu’s signature sound is almost impossible to capture into words: introspective blue, sometimes with a Giegling feeling, other times with deep & dubby references to the minimal house scene, yet always authentic and promiscuous.

Little do we know about https://soundcloud.com/shahr-farang nor https://soundcloud.com/kolonygorky, Ahu’s record labels and homes for much of his releases. The labels reflect his vision about the electronic music, with ambient soundscapes, experimental concepts and sometimes dancefloor oriented cuts.

Somewhere in 2017 Ahu accepted our invitation to contribute to the Introspections series with a mix built with his own productions. To this date, it remanis one of the most beautiful mixes we’ve ever hosted.


Introspections with Ahu

A track made for HIGH EXPERIENCE, created by Leonardo Brogi at the end of the COVID period. I used a speech by Mauro Corona, who describes the mountains in their micro realities. Actually, I sent Mauro an email asking for his permission, but I didn't receive a reply. I hope he likes it, as well as you.
I explore a musical world with an ancestral approach.

FINNEST presents "SAKURA" by Dkatt & Nic David, in its first reference of its division "Underground Series"

On side A, we can hear the main track, “Sakura”, a very elegant minimal with a bassline full of energy and movement accompanied by a full-bodied kick, stabs full of dynamite and some pads that take you straight to the sky.

As side B, “Meet Of Fate”, with a deeper bassline, this time accompanied by a very crunchy groove, beautiful melodies and amazing automations that make you feel like you are continually going up and down under the general vibe of the track.

Ultimately, there couldn't be a better presentation for the label than this great launch from these two great London-based producers.

ENJOY IT!
