For a few days each summer, deep in the Amsterdamse Bos on the outskirts of Holland’s capital, you’ll find a restless pack of ravers rushing from one stage to the next in pursuit of the freshest new sounds. That’s half thanks to Casper Tielrooij, who swapped the Hague for Amsterdam and started his Dekmantel parties back in 2007. Two years later those became a label and by 2013 a festival. Now in their tenth year, the forest festivities show no signs of slowing momentum, due in part to an exceptional and quality mix of genre-agnostic rhythms. Tielrooij finds creative freedom for his patchwork of influences through Dekmantel Soundsystem: and here they are. Bassiani Podcast 167 is a groovy and undulating exploration in sound recorded live at the club's Dekmantel showcase, one that clicks, klangs and wobbles, a synth-packed and searing-hot mix courtesy of Casper’s covetable record collection.

When it comes to techno, electro, and more importantly Electroclash, few can argue The Hacker’s credentials. The Frenchman was instrumental in the formative years of these movements and being active since the mid-90s has meant his discography is positively bursting with pivotal moments from electronic music. It is nearly impossible to discuss The Hacker without mentioning Miss Kittin, with some of their work such as “Champagne” EP including seminal tracks “Frank Sinatra” and “!982”. This is of course only a small, but not very important part of The Hacker’s story. With a string of solo albums and countless EPs to his name, the cross-section of electronic music that The Hacker enjoys is wide. From spacey techno to grinding electro, Michel Amato has long been one of the first names in electronic music. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-203-the-hacker/]

051 - Donato Dozzy - fabric podcast

Andreas Baumecker launched his DJ career in the early 90s, a Frankfurt native coming of age in the halcyon days of his country’s reunification. His first stop was the city’s storied and centrally located Romantica, then its affiliate Intimbar where reps from house label Playhouse picked him up for buying duties at record store Delirium. After an uptick in local bookings, he made a brief stop in Mannheim for more of the same before moving to Berlin in 2004, where a recently opened Panorama Bar scouted him as resident and offered him the role of in-house booker for its Berghain operations. As word got out and the city started to draw larger crowds he became a fundamental force in crafting the club’s story. Hesitant to define the upstairs-downstairs split as house and techno, he practices his preachings through an approach that embraces a range of different sounds. ‘Surprise is important’ and his 25,000 strong vinyl collection lends a hand in the process, an assemblage that oscillates between disco, house, electro, techno, breakbeat and pop; the key is to capture the spirit of a crowd. This strategy has borne not only his label Freundinnen (put on hiatus in 2007, relaunched in 2023), but a lasting collaboration with sparring partner Sam Barker as half or Barker and Baumecker (four 12” records and two albums on his alma mater’s imprint Ostgut Ton to prove it). nd_baumecker deals in all things funky and uplifting, a thread of life-affirming melodies and historically literate beats that drive seamlessly forward. Bassiani Podcast 255 alludes to his well stocked portfolio of references, with hints of disco and balearic house, it's more of what his fans know and love to usher in the warmer months; this latest episode is full of spacey tenor, refreshing and gently rolling, breezy chill-out expertly compiled by this fabled German veteran.

REC 40 w/ Marie Montexier

August 23rd, in the last glow of summer's peak, Marie Montexier took over the Motion Room with dub, groove, elegance, and bass. A vinyl storyteller at heart, her craft is pure instinct: eclectic, unpredictable, and always moving. From first drop to final fade, she kept the floor on its toes.

This leading light from the Berlin scene is up next with 85 minutes of feel good tunes guaranteed to get you moving. Partok’s rise as go-to DJ for clubs like De School, Blitz, Basement and Panorama Bar is really no surprise. The recipe? Bridging genres and histories from Detroit to early UK rave, and constantly correlating those with more recent developments in music, and always through a queer lens. These deckside stints have a soft galvanising power, chugging rhythms with social change front and centre, grassroots house that spurs dancefloor denizens to action with selections that prioritise the work of fellow queer artists. Along with Roi Perez and David Elimelech, Partok's also at the reins of transnational party series Laundrette, a forum for endurance-testing B3B sets. And the fun doesn’t stop there, his past forays into production as 1/3 of Partok Matushka Apfelberg on Kompakt have set the bar even higher, fleshing out a vision for sound that flips the script at every turn. For Bassiani Podcast 279, this Berlin selector brings a singular magic, anthemic grooves and butter-smooth transitions, this is highly combustible house from a one-of-a-kind talent, an exclusive mix recorded at the K41 garden in Kyiv for Bassiani.

After a strong run of releases on Secret Fusion, Nothing Is Real, and Sprechen earlier this year, NYC-based producer Evan Michael now lands on HIFI/LOFI Records with his Modern Life EP — a forward-thinking five-track journey that drifts from dreamy house to cosmic indie dance, with subtle shades of melancholy woven throughout.

Having spent the past decade deeply immersed in New York’s nightlife, Evan has supported many of the city’s most vital independent clubs while absorbing their eclectic soundscapes. That experience has sharpened his ear for house and techno — a sensibility he now channels into productions that move seamlessly between retroism and futurism, all in his uniquely personal way.

The release is elevated by standout remixes from trailblazer Maruwa, a Robert Johnson club resident whose rising profile spans releases on Steel City Dance Discs and X‑Kalay, delivering a deeper, more minimalistic, and irresistibly groovy reinterpretation of the original. Meanwhile, acclaimed producer Le Chev — trusted studio collaborator of LP Giobbi and co‑writer/producer for artists like Fischerspooner, SOFI TUKKER, Jake Shears, and more — brings a bold injection of deep house and melodic progressive grandeur, flirting with Organic House undertones to expand Evan’s vision.

Modern Life EP Release date : 14 November 2025

Twister (Rework)

The music Aurora Halal creates is informed by many different disciplines. She is a producer, but also a videographer and visual artist who has worked on films about modular synth godfather Morton Subotnick amongst others. She is also the force behind Brooklyn’s Mutual Dreaming party series as well as the Sustain-Release festival. In just a couple of years she has cooked up an expressive and experimental techno sound—solo and with the likes of Ital—on labels such as Lovers Rock and her own Mutal Dreaming Recordings. Oppressive and foggy, her distorted, imperfect sounds made up of heavy drums and scurrying synths have taken her to plenty of remarkable live gigs all over the world. Now she steps up to our mix series with equal aplomb.
