Orbe & Psyk live at Draaimolen Festival 2025

Serial havoc-wreaker Amotik punches in this week with a hi-velocity two-hour round running the gamut from mind-expanding minimalism to claustrophobic dubs onto proper heavy-duty, industrial-informed big room wares. Unleashing wave after wave of unrelenting synth undulations and clinical basswork that'll send shivers down your spine, his set is pure techno NRG in a bottle. Ease yourself into Amotik's shape-shifting cyclonic architectures and doomed hi-tech atmospheres, the ride ahead ticks all the boxes of an entrancingly memorable sonic voyage. Lock in and lift off.

We present Function.

A four hour set recorded live by Function @ VERTX at RSO.BERLIN on January 25th 2026.

Emerging from the US underground before relocating to Berlin, Function's work has played a crucial role in shaping the darker, more disciplined edge of contemporary club music.

As a long-time DJ at Berghain, Function has developed an approach built for extended floors and long arcs. Equally influential as a producer, his releases on Ostgut Ton and Sandwell District established a blueprint for modern techno focused on rhythm, space, and durability.

His sets are stripped back and purposeful, driven by pressure, repetition, and subtle variation rather than dramatic shifts or excess. Everything serves momentum.

Queens-based DJ and Volnost resident Clarisa Kimskii takes the helm this week with two hours of proper mind-expanding wares, acid-drenched psychedelia and rugged, industrial-informed grooves. Known for her intrepid sonic journeys and hi-impact blends, the US artist takes us on a bumpy ride fusing hi-octane big room momenti, aesthetic style clash and proper eruptive floor combustion. Hold onto your seats and hunch your shoulders. Acceleration is happening, takeoff is imminent.

Bridging emotionally charged sounds with driving loops of the highest order, Patrik Eriksson has cast a striking form in Sweden and beyond. Since his 2015 founding of Arsenik Records (alongside Kuf), the nordic phenom has expanded his catalogue and scope to include live sets as well as studio productions, both demonstrating a deep passion for music as well as a tightly focused reinterpretation of what came before. As Dold, he pulls from IDM, ambient, electro and techno and reformulates a percussive hallmark brimming with mechanical intensity, one that swells with ideas and a technical skill that raises the bar record on record; his latest for instance is a heavy-duty banger titled Feng Shui, a VA contribution worthy of his name. From Europe to farther afield his sets too, negotiate the twin demands of mind and body, offering a highly intelligent and highly danceable techno forever at the vanguard. For Bassiani Podcast 297 Dold returns with yet another masterclass in expert mixing, a 90 minute rollercoaster through contemporary rhythms and nordic ambiance recorded in his Stockholm studio.

Irish DJ and producer Mode_1 is our guest this week with a two-hour sonic cruise running the gamut from psychedelic post-industrial soundscapes to stripped-down brutalist grooves. Cutting a path of destruction across the dance floor, this mix is designed to have all ravers’ adrenaline levels topped out as they wait for the next bar’s own idiosyncratic thrill with blind obedience. Championing a sound both clinically crisp and entrancingly dynamic, Mode_1 is your guide for a deep dive across fractured 4x4 atmospheres and effervescing peak-time jousts. Leaving no stone unturned in his quest for the most hair-raising crescendo, there goes the Dublin whiz firing on all cylinders, ready to buckle knees by the dozen.

Basilar Mix Series, live from last summer.

Shaped by live recordings from our previous edition, these moments were captured as they unfolded, held in their original form as a collective memory.

The first recording features Sunil Sharpe moving across genres and textures in his signature restless rhythm we have all grown to love.

This series documents what happens when sound, atmosphere and people align for a brief stretch of time.

Just press play and return to Fafe for a minute.

A word from Sunil Sharpe:

"Basilar felt like being inside an enchanted forest, that has seen things and remembers them. Playing to an open-minded crowd, with a crew that knows its music and history, made a big difference too. As always, I tried to take the set in different directions, mindful of the fact that we were going to move from pitch darkness into early morning brightness. These twilight periods can be among the most rewarding times to play - where vivid, almost cinematic memories are shaped for life. Needless to say, this was one of those special times for me.”

Put your headphones on and dive back into that magical Sunday afternoon vibe that Answer Code Request so brilliantly created in Masada’s living room: three hours of pure bliss, moving seamlessly between acid textures, house grooves, and driving techno, unfolding a rich mélange of colors and sounds that left the dancefloor spellbound. A true master of his craft. 

As both a DJ and producer, Patrick Gräser, better known as Answer Code Request, has developed a distinctive hybrid sound that sets him apart in a landscape often dominated by straightforward 4/4 techno. Blending lush, pad-led harmonies with intricate break patterns and a raw industrial edge, he has carved out a singular position within the Ostgut Ton universe since his debut on the label in 2012, soon followed by his residency at Berghain.

CLOSERcast #109 - ANSWER CODE REQUEST

PSYK stands as one of the most respected names in contemporary techno, known for a sound built on precision, restraint, and depth. Years of commanding sets in leading clubs worldwide have refined his ability to control tension and shape long-form journeys with clarity and purpose.

His productions reflect that same discipline, from the driving energy of Arcade and Eclipse, to deeper works for Tresor Records and Semantica. With albums like Time Foundation and A Moment Before, and through his imprint Non Series, he continues to shape the direction of modern techno.

This new mix reflects that evolution. Carefully structured, immersive, and driven by controlled intensity, it unfolds with clarity and purpose. No excess, no distraction, just focused techno designed for deep rooms and long transitions.
