ILKA at Club BASIS 18-01-2025

"Life Is A Riddle" details a time when Steve Abbott befriended an eccentric elderly man with mental health issues who often interjected nonsensical phrases into our conversations. He found the man's quirks fascinating and inspiring, using them as the basis for the song. The song's lyrics are a mixture of these random phrases and his reflections on life's unpredictability, humour, and the need to embrace its complexities.

When curiosity killed the cat
His death never raised a brow
Yet somehow we mourned his loss
More than the cradle that broke the bough

If Elvis has left the building
Who the hell is the guy on the mic
Not quite a king more a pauper
But worth a dollar if you believe the hype

Hey diddle, diddle
Life is a riddle
There's an elephant in the room
The insane raise a smile
To see such fun
As they dance to a different tune

You can't judge a book by its cover
When the story mirrors your life
You've enjoyed the gore and the glory
Don't complain when they're twisting the knife

Between a rock and a hard place
Where indecision don't belong
The almighty is judge and jury
And you can't do right for doing wrong

Blindfolded tight, a twisted game
Fortune's wheel keeps turning the same
Pick a path, any path you choose
This tangled mess, there's nothing to lose
The mocking jester taps his drum
As the world spins on, oblivious, numb
So take a leap, don't overthink
Just dance to your beat, let your spirit sing

Hey diddle
Life is a riddle
There's an elephant in the room
The insane raise a smile
To see such fun
As they dance to a different tune

You can't judge a book by its cover
When the story mirrors your life
You've enjoyed the gore and the glory
Don't complain when they're twisting the knife

Between a rock and a hard place
Where indecision don't belong
The almighty is judge and jury
And you can't do right for doing wrong

Blindfolded tight, a twisted game
Fortune's wheel keeps turning the same
Pick a path, any path you choose
This tangled mess, there's nothing to lose
The mocking jester taps his drum
As the world spins on, oblivious, numb
So take a leap, don't overthink
Just dance to your beat, let your spirit sing

Hey diddle
Life is a riddle
There's an elephant in the room
The insane raise a smile
To see such fun
As they dance to a different tune

BASIS (Unofficial) Warm-up mix 20th of June

Heyy babess,

Here is my debut set at club BASIS I did a couple weeks back. It is definitely one of the sets I'm most proud of. Huge thanks to BASIS for giving me the opportunity to ring my sound the way I perceive techno, and what an honour to be on the same lineup as Grace, Imogen and Laura! 

This set, I started with an ambient track, played some more hypnotic tunes, but tried to give it my adhd alien-techno spin to it, sneaked in some psytrance, and finished on a warm note with Narciss vibes :))

Thank you and enjoy!

FULL DISCLOSURE: For over 50 years I’ve been writing—poetry, plays, stories, and song lyrics—never imagining my words would one day become music. With no singing voice and only the barest guitar skills, I thought my songs would remain on the page. Then I discovered AI. I can transform my lyrics and melodies into fully produced tracks, finally sharing the music I always dreamed of. My songs are where a lifetime of storytelling meets the power of new technology—real stories, real passion, brought to life in a whole new way.

Dj/producer who wants to share his music to the world

I’m Indy Aponno (they/them) a self-taught musician with a heart for electronic music. With a DJ residency in Utrecht’s communities, I've developed a unique style in which I blend all kinds of music into flows of energy. Co-founder of @qore-dj-collective. A Dutch-based community that brings FLINTAQ* and Hard Dance DJs onto one platform.

contact.seizer@gmail.com

Seizer is a Rotterdam-based DJ, from hypnotic and repetitive grooves to driving hard rhythms, Seizer crafts a sound that captivates and energizes. With occasional industrial influences, he blends groove and techno with euphoric melodies to create a powerful, emotive journey.

(NOT ACTIVE ATM)

EKEREN is the solo project of Bas: a DJ, producer, and energy-bringer who blends techno and trance with catchy, sometimes dark melodies and nostalgic influences from the '90s. His musical journey began in childhood with the alto saxophone and evolved through years of festival experiences, from the harder styles to the melodic techno scene. Along the way, he developed a deep passion for fast-paced, high-energy hard trance, hard groove, and techno. From that journey, EKEREN was born in 2025.

On stage, Bas radiates pure energy and enthusiasm. His sets are defined by visible joy and a powerful connection with the crowd. With every beat, he brings a contagious vibe, inviting the audience to lose themselves in the moment. As an artist, he's all about unleashing raw energy: pounding kicks at 130 BPM and pushing well beyond 160 BPM, layered with trancey synths and experimental instincts.

“In my music, I’m always chasing the balance between control and release. I want people to really feel the energy — to be swept away by tracks and sets that hit hard, but still carry light. I love taking a journey from hard trance to hard groove to the heavier side of techno.”

EKEREN isn’t afraid to blur genres, bend timelines, or break the mold. Whether it nods to the ’90s, delivers relentless drive, or sparks moments of euphoria, it’s all about the experience.

Hi! My name is Pieter, I am a DJ from Utrecht. My sound is a combination of House and Disco and to give my sets a dynamic twist I also play with vinyl. The past few months I played a couple of times for HappyFeelings, Basis, Number Nine9, De Helling, Klein Berlijn and more!
