Second episode of our Jam RTBF radio residency with ISLAS. 

islas does not care about the Brexit. She will keep on spreading her UK vibes all over Europe and beyond. She was once the female force behind Basic Moves. After collecting electronic gems for a long time she is now also laying them down and weaving them together to create meandering sets. her credo: the more vocals the better.

CREVETTE RECORDS PODCAST #05 - ISLAS

The Basic Moves Of … islas

Attention music lovers ! This is an ultra ultra special mix, since it is the long-awaited islas Basic Moves podcast. Ailsa Cavers aka islas and I started and ran the record label and club nights together for the first four years. As time takes things and things take time (and life rolls on (and off) and on) our paths have brought us back to sharing friendship, culture, and music again :)

islas also Ailsa is a creative centipede roaming the fields of art, design, music, literature and so much more. Originally from Reading (UK) but relocated to Bordeaux (FR) in the early 2000s where she studied at Ecole Des Beaux Arts before landing in what is now her hometown, Brussels (BE). Together with a bunch of like-minded souls she started the electronic music collective Planet, ran a music pop-up called OP-a with her bff Dana Kuehr…overall islas is a busy, gifted artistic bee that never stings.

Sooo to the music: 2 years in the making, this mix is a story of carefully selected, funny and open-minded club music dug up in the garden of electro house, quirky tech house, Detroit techno, and millennium minimal. All with an islas twist and topped with an English, French and Belgian sauce. Praise the lovely, steezy Ailsa alias islas forever !

@arthurlastmann, full summer mode
Soundtracking the sunset and later on the fireworks from Île Degaby, Marseille on August 15th 2025.
With a 4h selection of old and new favorites on a dreamy and breezy tip.

Behind its ramparts—built by order of Louis XIV to defend Marseille’s harbor—the Île Degaby shelters a military fort, named in honor of Admiral Costentin de Tourville. It retained its military purpose until the early 20th century, before being sold by the State to a Marseille industrialist. He gave it its current name, as a tribute to his mistress, the dancer Liane Degaby. The island has been the subject of countless dreams and unfinished projects, changing hands several times without ever truly opening itself to the people of Marseille. Until May 2024, when its pop-up bar and restaurant finally opened!

What If It Works Nr. 26 w/ Ateş & 11:68PM (02/09/25)

Madrid's F-on is a much beloved figure within the Spanish scene, known for his elegant all-vinyl sets and curation behind the brilliant Alpenglühen label among so much more. We stayed in touch after his particularly beautiful set at 2017’s Paral·lel Festival, and I've been looking forward to one day sharing this episode of the series since. Alfonso’s mix is uncanny in its precision and demonstrates a prowess behind the decks that few can match, a soft palette built through veteran and timeless selection. Two hours in and out of focus like rippling dust through which the flow of time slows, a stasis in the stream. Thanks Alfonso!

after studying visual arts, creative centipede
ailsa cavers aka islas slowly drifted 
towards a growing interest in sound. 
islas began crafting long, throbbing
sets that bring together delay
pedals, ASMR, spoken word,
movie scores, and ambient
sounds, playing with the
friction that exists when one
record meets another, with the
joy that erupts when sounds
come together to create the
previously unheard. having
participated in the creation of
belgian dance music label basic
moves, and recently co-founding
the PLANET collective, islas propels
dance-oriented sets,
all the while conserving a
passion for sampled and loopy
vocals, wonky percussion,
intoxicating breaks, and bird
sounds.
