Olsvangèr serves up an impeccable dose of late night grooves and atmospheric burners for our most recent mix outing. The Berlin-based artist, loved for his radiant and tripped-out take on 90’s rooted club music, recently released his latest EP on Kalahari Oyster Cult. With all proceeds going towards Save The Children - Gaza and West Bank Emergency, we caught up with him to hear about the process of getting it together and his latest moves.

Interview

Oddysee 063 | 'Heaven Knows' by Olsvangèr

Ferg Boil Set 4/27/24

Three sizzling hours from the mind behind one of the world's best labels, Kalahari Oyster Cult.

What you'll hear on this week's RA Podcast is the closing slot of 2024's Organik Festival—already a coveted moment. But as the sun dipped on Taiwan's north coast, something else was going on: Rey Colino was laying down quite possibly the set of his life.

We're big fans of Colino, AKA Colin Volvert, here at RA. Few do it better when it comes to the type of pacy, lysergic thumpers that have become synonymous with both Kalahari and the distro One Eye Witness. A quick glance over the Belgian label's impressive alumni confirms how deeply his work flows through contemporary clubs.

On RA.954, Volvert's sharp ear and swaggering DJ style are on full display. He locks in with many shades of his record bag, alongside a grip of new and forthcoming KOC cuts—some so fresh, the ink on the deal is barely even dry. We could go into the particulars, but it's best to just get stuck in: this one's a deep, deliriously effective trip.

Born in the late '70s, Simon Garcia grew up listening to iconic bands such as Depeche Mode, New Order, and Kraftwerk, alongside genres like blaxploitation funk, latin rock, rare disco, '90s house, and acid-jazz. These influences helped shape his eclectic, genre-blending sound, which is now a hallmark of his music.

Today, Simon's works are released on high-profile labels like Freerange, PETS, Compost, or Supplement Facts. He has remixed tracks for renowned artists such as Lee Burridge, Henry Saiz, Matthias Vogt (Motorcitysoul), or Kyodai, earning a reputation for his personal, hypnotic, and futuristic sound. His music has garnered widespread support from respected tastemakers such as Jimpster, Guy Gerber, Catz 'N Dogz, Ripperton, or Silicone Soul to name a few.

He's performed in global cities like London, San Francisco, Tokyo, Glasgow, Barcelona, Miami, New York, Paris, and of course, his hometown: Madrid.

His techy, synthetic, and timeless sound is authentic and unbound by trends, ensuring his place as a key figure in the international electronic music scene. Whether releasing original tracks or remixes, Simon continues to make an impact with his innovative and distinctive musical style.

Teetee - ‘Binary Ritual’ (BB002)

"This year I want to hone in on the vibe that really resonates with me and hopefully show everyone the sounds that I love. Binary Ritual is on the heavier and faster end of this spectrum but still incorporates my favourite elements of acid and weird textures. I’m very grateful to have you all on this journey with me"

Next up on Basement Beats is Binary Ritual from extremely talented London-based DJ & producer Teetee. This track is a peak-time powerhouse, built on thudding drums and a rolling sub that anchors its hypnotic groove channeling the energy of 90s Goa. 

With warped vocal chops and trippy, psy-inspired melodies, Binary Ritual effortlessly blurs the lines between progressive house and psytrance creating an immersive soundscape of tension and release. 

A stand-out moment from this release process was having the track selected to be featured live on BBC Radio London, by resident DJ Jess Iszatt which was another massive milestone for us.

Next up on Basement Beats is a heavyweight transmission from Paris-based producer and DJ Germain CLS. A member of the boundary-pushing HORS-SOL events crew and a regular on Rinse France, Germain has carved a name for himself with a signature sound that dives headfirst into the 90s-drenched worlds of progressive and trance.

Following the success of his 2024 debut EP The Tools and his recent ZEIT project — featuring a standout remix from none other than Bliss Inc — Germain CLS returns with BEAST. A high-octane trip through warped acid lines, breaks and relentless percussion. 

With previous work across multiple aliases (including as one half of the duo S7RENS), Germain CLS continues to deliver forward thinking club tools.

The third instalment in our mix series comes from a close friend of the label, petar_tverkal, a Warsaw-based DJ and producer turning heads with her high-energy, trance-infused sound.

After first coming across her sets, it was clear her sound was a natural fit for Basement. We instantly connected over a mutual love for the same artists, labels, and a shared taste for fast grooves, strange textures, and progressive-leaning club sounds.
Starting her journey as a DJ before diving into production, petar_tverkal has quickly built a reputation for blending progressive house, eurodance, and fast groove techno. 

Her debut EP on German label Hyperrave blends hard groove and hypnotic techno, followed by a progressive house release on UK imprint Labonnemusique and, most recently, eurodance cuts via PULZAR.
In Warsaw, she co-founded WOX—a platform for workshops, lectures, and events supporting women and queer communities—and launched UWA, a night dedicated to supporting beginner DJs.
