For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

Altinbas at Open Ground 08-05-2024

Merchant of feral-minded, steel-clad floor wares harboured by some of the finest imprints out there including Token and SK_eleven, in addition to his own outlet, Observer Station, Fuse resident Altinbas takes over the RYC broadcast with an explosive two-hour ride fusing pure raging uptempo arson and highly trenchant, indus-oriented machine funk. Blast it out full force and let the trippy winds of primitive drums patterns, 909-fuelled obsession and dubbed-out 4x4 mystique alter your senses durably, for the spirit of rave shines high and bright above us. Total heater of a mix, you’ve been warned.

A true pioneer of the techno scene, Italian DJ and producer Gaetano Parisio needs no introduction but we'll just underline that since his first steps in the then-burgenoning electronic world back in 1992, his influence on the sound hasn't flinched one bit. Responsible for countless seminal releases on the likes of Primate, Zenit, Mosaic, his own structures Conform, ART and Southsoul and a myriad more, Gaetano has been pushing techno in new directions with ultimate drive and devotion to duty. Clocking in with a two-hour trip into his boundary-pushing headspace, the Neapolitan maestro treats us to a wild ride of trampling uptempo funk, sci-fi-indebted flights and further alien-engineered heaters. The forward-looking power of rave in its purest expression.

"November 2022 was the first time I'd ever played at De School and I remember the energy was extremely high as Claudio PRC was building the room into a frenzy, so I was pretty nervous to take over and do the closing. Luckily things felt very comfortable from the first beat and time just flew by - what a night. I was also very happy to play longer than planned!"

Stepping up with the hypnotic, heavy-duty wares all set at knocking your senses askew, Belgian producer Peter Van Hoesen lands us a monster of a live set. Responsible for some seriously mind-expanding sorties on the likes of Tresor, Vlek and his self-operated outlets Time To Express & Center 91 over the past 15 years, Van Hoesen has established himself as one of the scene’s driving forces when it comes to integrating these cinematic ambiences into an effervescing mesh of pulsating 4x4 rhythms and a millefeuille of layered envelopes acting like quicksands. Recorded on the occasion of his latest live performance at Tresor Berlin on May 10, this particular live harnesses that deep-diving energy elemental to Van Hoesen’s intricate engineering of hi-velocity dynamics and rippling dub interplays, ushering us headlong into a bright, merciless furnace of sound. Checkmate.

BEFORE THE CURFEW ⑱ SETAOC MASS

Kicking off full speed comes an hour of untrammelled techno from Belgian artist Phara. The Fuse Brussels resident has racked up quite a following with his club focused sound, both via slick releases as much as behind decks spinning vinyl-only sets. Post-punk, wave, EBM, electro, Detroit and Berlin provide the context for a curious talent that has published warped melodies on blue chip labels like Soma, SK Eleven, Stockholm LTD and Planet Rhythm. His off kilter earmark is available too via his ‘gimmick-free’ record label Phaaar, a more immediate and personal vessel for his own experiments in sound. And it’s not all off the shelf, 2022 saw him take his Korg EMX-1 onstage for a debut live performance that presents yet another side to his many-layered craft, and a new alias titled In Glass promises to reimagine both house and dubbier references. With bated breath comes this next instalment, powerful beats from the get go, tracks with striking forward momentum interwoven with atomic precision and a primary feeling for ambiance that doesn’t miss a trick. Phara taps a wealth of experience and knowledge of records for Bassiani Podcast 222, shadowy frequencies and volative basslines, everything you love about techno brought together by this prolific and multifaceted artist.

LDG Channel: Mix Series 07 / Border One

Kr!z has been at the forefront of techno for more than a decade. After making a name for himself as a skilled DJ with sharp focus and a quick mixing style Kr!z launched Token Records in 2007. It has since been a leading outlet for heady, purist sounds: always straightforward, sometimes weird, often catchy. 

Kr!z takes listeners on journeys surpassing space and time. Led by deeply hypnotic grooves,  syncopated rhythms and widely reverberating atmospheres, his desire to guide the dancefloor into unknown depths can be felt with every note. Intensities build up and collapse under his skillful hands, knowing what each knob twist will result in. Each set feels almost like a mathematical calculation, deciphering the code of collective ecstasy.

CLOSERcast #082 - KR!Z

Recorded in The Panther Room at The Bunker and Wrecked's Gay Pride party on June 27, 2015.  The room was opened by Mike Servito and closed by Aaron Clark Price of Honcho.  Mike Servito had this to say about The Black Madonna's set: "I must say I have not seem someone command a room quite like that in some time. people losing their fucking minds! she served and beat us silly! she is inspiring us awwwwl!".  to which she responded: " I have to say I think it was basically my favorite time I ever DJed and so much of it had to do with how great Mike Servito was and the state the room was in when he did his thing. It was just perfect."  Yeah, it was basically one big love fest in the booth and on the floor.   As TBM says: You're damn right we still believe!!!
