PREMIERE: SAMA - Gentle Reminder [MXMN003]

From London’s inner suburbs comes this next guest, a through and through veteran of UK techno whose touch has left a lasting mark on the world around him. Steve Bicknell’s early days were spent in the intoxicating worlds of dub, reggae, acid, DIY warehouse parties and pirate radio, an auspicious mix of references that would inspire him to make music of his own. After a string of residencies at the UK’s then most influential parties, he launched his own series with creative collaborator Sheree Rashit: LOST. These legendary gatherings brought together names like Plaid, Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Robert Leiner, Basic Channel, and a wider array of future techno hegemons. This was swiftly succeeded with the duo’s launch of imprint Cosmic Records, whose triumph went on to spawn another three successors: LOST (early provider of Bicknell’s dancefloor sounds), Clubtracks (for Chicago-leaning fare) and ID(entity) (a channel for the work of well established music-makers who wanted to release under a secret alias). A nine-year pause in productions came to a halt in the mid 2010s with Steve’s most recent label, 6dimensions, an exploration in sound and the whole spectrum of human emotion. Finally, 2017 saw Steve team up with Luke Slater and David Sumner under the LSD sobriquet, a force for the creation of ‘lysergic machine music’, heavily danceable stuff (just ask ADE, Dekmantel, Awakenings). With a story as full and enduring as Steve’s there’s much to pull from, and only experience in the flesh could attest to the depth and scope of his musical evolution, but it’s clear that the voice he has honed has only become louder and more refined. It’s a techno that’s fully embodied, a blistering percussive barrage that invokes something profoundly human and fundamental. Bassiani Podcast 217 is just a taste of what Steve has to offer, a window onto a world of sound he’s meticulously crafted for over three decades: masterfully layered and piercing sounds that shimmer and relentlessly rise in lockstep with a formidable 4/4 beat.

Bassiani invites Steve Bicknell / Podcast #217

Paradox #1

After her electrifying performance at Masada last May, we are thrilled to welcome back Anabel Arroyo to the CLOSERcast series for an exclusive mix!

A resident DJ at both Fold London and Laster Madrid, Anabel has built a stellar reputation for her intense, groove-driven sets that ignite dancefloors and whip crowds into frenzies. This allowed her to share the DJ booth with some of the biggest names in the scene, whilst developing and honing her signature style defined by raw energy and impeccable artistry.

Anabel’s sets are a masterclass in dancefloor dynamics, as they leave the crowd clinging onto every beat: seamless transitions, infectious rhythms, and a sophisticated interplay of layered bleeps and harmonic stabs characterize her sets, which linger in the minds of the listeners long after the music has stopped.

CLOSERcast #086 - ANABEL ARROYO

Quelza - The Diary Of Borea

Introducing the new Basilar Podcast. 

From time to time, we’ll be inviting some of our previous guests and personal favourites to record a mixtape for our series, asking them to capture their experience at Basilar.

The inaugural session is courtesy of Dutch DJ @aframusic, one of the highlights of the 2024 edition, recorded in quiet tribute to last summer’s forest communion. The set drifts between raw minimal techno and spacey dub cuts, mirroring the cocoon-like vibe of our stage.

Press play and get carried back into the woods. Enjoy!

Basilar Podcast 01 - Afra

https://cariciarecords.bandcamp.com/album/car-cia-001

artist: VIL & CRAVO
title: Carícia 001
label: Carícia Records
cat #: CRC001
release date: 20 June 2025
format: vinyl & digital

tracklist:
A1. SO RIGHT
A2. 420%FODA
B1. FUTUREDETROIT
B2. HARD TO FIND

The debut release on Carícia Records sees longtime collaborators VIL and CRAVO refine the language they’ve developed through years of joint work, both individually and as members of the Hayes collective. Between them, their output on labels like Monnom Black, Klockworks, Self Reflektion and the aforementioned Hayes collective has consistently balanced precision with character, and this first chapter under their new imprint is no exception. Opening with SO RIGHT, the record sets a distinct tone, with rolling percussion and a hypnotic vocal line threading through the mix with restraint and control. 420%FODA leans into classic swing and texture, tightly looped and built for movement without ever overreaching. On the B-side, CRAVO oﬀers FUTUREDETROIT, a stripped-back piece with room to breathe, subtle in its shifts but firm in its intent. VIL rounds oﬀ the EP with HARD TO FIND, a playful closer that keeps things buoyant and dynamic, pushing forward without losing its shape. Carícia 001 is about clarity of purpose. No filler, no theatrics, just four tracks that speak for themselves.

GTG Premiere | VIL & CRAVO - SO RIGHT [CRC001]

Our guest VIL goes deep into his collection for this exclusive podcast with some of his favourite B-sides and leftfield gems. Jazzy, funky and delightfully dreamy, this session is made up of Nuno’s gentler and earthier side. With nods to house, ukg and detroit electro, this mix might be exactly what you need to get the week going.
