Mixes & Podcasts

VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: https://www.voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Based in Paris, Voiski’s artistic identity can be described simply as music fanaticism. His career is almost hard to keep up with as it’s always taking turns and reinventing itself. Regularly shifting between genres, he has released on quite the collection of record labels under the Voiski name such as Dekmantel, L.I.E.S., Delsin, and Bassiani to name a few.

Every episode ends with a question pointed towards our community. Want to get involved? Then join our 'Voltage Community' on Facebook or follow our Instagram account (voltage.festival).

MNMT 332 : Voiski

In a time when the techno world often can give the impression of “the harder, the better”, Voiski has a different approach. He is not afraid to admit he wants his music and DJ sets to contain groove. Coming from an art school background (something that continuously keeps informing his work as a musician), he is one of the most analytical and constructive artists on the scene, well aware of his own process, continuously examining it as he goes further.

Voiski - That´s All For Today / Podcast #22 (Takeover Discos Movimiento), Aire Libre, Mexico City

Since rolling his musical sleeves up in 2006, the name Voiski has exponentially grown in renown; his endless quest for new sounds manifested across a number of releases and self-started labels like Silicate and Super 95. Add to that a cosmically ordained taste for collaboration that has seen him join forces with names as diverse as Vril, Antigone and Svengalisghost and you have one of the most prolific and exciting names to have come out of France in the last decade. There’s a touch of classic loop techno, noughties electro and a newfound affection for Persian mysticism in his work, eagerly cross-bred to make his inimitable ‘post-trance’ sound. You’ll get a stem-winding taste of it here: Bassiani Podcast 151 is brazen four-to-the-floor techno spliced with shimmering synths, Voiski at his very prime.

REC 011 w/ Voiski

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

Voiski is the kind of artist that stands out. Even surrounded by artists like Ben Klock, Shifted or Phara, as was the case when this set was recorded, Voiski’s radiance can be undoubted. Ruled by no textbook, the French artist delicately manages to combine both the ardor and elegance of his analog techno trademark.  

Embellished by the big system of our Room 01, synth parts are uniting with blaring basslines and an incessant galloping feeling. Hard to argue with the fact that Voiski is a techno stalwart, we can only hope to see him under our roof again soon.

Voiski — Recorded live at Fuse Brussels (15/10/22)

Next up in our mix series is Voiski. From his Iranian background, Voiski has always been very connected to spiritual music and trance in particular. The element of repetition is ongoing through his catalogue, creating a direct link to his beloved minimalistic classical composers and his roots. Voiski is part of several constellations aside from his main alias, Vrilski (with Vril) and Wav (with Wata Igarashi) to name a few. 

Indulge in this live-set recording by Voiski, immerse yourself in its hypnotic allure of constantly evolving elements and swirling melodies. Expansive psychedelic club music, with an yet precise edge. Voiski weaves layers upon layers, creating a sonic landscape where transcendent melodies shine brightly amidst dynamically shifting arrangements.

Ute Mix Series #85 | Voiski (Live)

Decade of Memories saw some of the biggest names in the field come together to mark 10 years of Bassiani, an apposite mix of talents whose own times at the club have each added their own note to its story. In turbulent times and now more than ever the power of music, dance and community is needed and on October 4th these tried and true talents were just the ticket. Among them, Voiski and Sophie Phare played b2b duties on the Horoom floor, a genius pairing of two sounds who find common ground in their love of the fast and rhythmic. The former a French veteran with over a decade of tales to tell and frequent musical acknowledgement of his Iranian roots, whose ever expanding universe has charted disparate paths in collaboration with names like Heartbeat, Vril, Elliot Litrowski, Wata Igarashi, Crysta Patterson and Hadone (Vrilski, Superski, Wav, Kartel and Voiski & Hadone respectively), with over 200 releases and 20 EPs to his name on labels like Mama Told Ya, L.I.E.S., Dekmantel and Delsin. The latter a Georgian mainstay, previous podcast guest and Bassiani resident whose effervescent and catchy melodies would have a cheetah breaking a sweat. Their double alliance meanders through the ambient and expansive texture of Voiski’s world and the sagacious kitsch of Phare’s own making for a high-powered three-hour set that channels the revolutionary spirit of Tbilisi’s creative scene. With the likes of these two at the helm of the Horoom floor and on good track, the next ten years are sure to promise countless more feelings, encounters and memories. Bassiani Podcast 236 is one such special moment, recorded live here on home turf.

BASSIANI PODCAST SERIES

Bassiani invites Sophie Phare b2b Voiski / Podcast #236

With great pleasure, we present the live recording of @Voiski, during 3 YEARS of PAX-ROMANA. 

A true visionary in contemporary techno, Voiski's performance perfectly suited the Sunday morning atmosphere - magical, deep & full of new energy. Drawing from his electro influences and spiritual roots, he delivered a set that was both cerebral and moving. A masterclass in alternative techno storytelling. 

Set time: 09:00 – 12:00
Enjoy listening! <3

Voiski @ 3 YEARS of PAX-ROMANA | 2024.06.30

The French DJ and producer Voiski has steadily built a name for himself over the course of a near seven year career. Having shifted from a more brazenly experimental persuasion to a still slightly disarrayed but ultimately slick production style, his merciless output has thus far been picked up by an array of labels such as L.I.E.S., Construct Re-Form, Sheik N Beik – though he’s also long been releasing material though his co-run Silicate Musique imprint. Also one half of the Karti partnership with Crysta Patterson, who gifted their debut album The Information Is Coming From The Server to the world via Field Records earlier this year, Voiski comes highly recommended by one of our most trusted allies, Daniel Avery.

So with Voiski set to mark his Farringdon debut by playing live and presenting to us the patterning glow of his machines at Divided Love on Friday 14th August, we dropped him a line so we could officially introduce the guy who Dan keeps on keeping on enthusing about. Voiski’s even kindly dropped us a new and exclusive mix to demonstrate exactly how he caught Avery’s ear in the first place...

Voiski - FABRICLIVE x Divided Love Mix

Our 41st podcast comes from techno producer Voiski, who is a close associate of experimental label Silicate Musique, is part of Field Records duo Kartei and is also a regular on LIES and WT Records. His techno sound veers from off kilter and odd to more dance floor focussed, and is never short on intrigue. Characterised by infinitely repetitive loops and acerbic drums, his often analog tracks look to the future for their inspiration and always manage to be cerebral yet hypnotic. 

The mix he has served up for us is mostly made of old personal classics and or new tracks made by friends. “Intimate, glimmery and a bit strong,” says Voiski, the mix is a perfect one for this time of year and has some “heartwarming 90s trance to smile at with some solid techno to dance to.” He’s not wrong there, because this is an absorbing selection that might well surprise you with some of the more fun and sunny inclusions early on, but as things move on that deep, heady, hypnotic Voiski sound soon wins out with smooth coherent transitions that sound just like an extended track by the man himself. 

Dekmantel Podcast 041 - Voiski

With the releases on L.I.E.S, Delsin, Construct Reform, WT Records, ... Voiski has emerged as one of France's most exciting techno producers. As a live performer, he is appearing around the world under his own name, as part of Polar Inertia and with his compatriots Zadig, Birth Of Frequency and Antigone as Unforeseen Alliance.
Recorded at Bassiani Records launching night in Tbilisi, the thrilling live-set sees the Parisian producer engage in an hour of intense, mind-bending analogue techno. With his unique artistic approach Voiski is exploring the darkest and deeper ends of raw, pulsating techno throughout the mix.

Voiski პარიზელი ელექტრონული მუსიკის არტისტი და ლაივ შემსრულებელია, რომელიც დაახლოებით  10 წელია მუსიკას ისეთ ლეიბლებზე გამოსცემს, როგორიც არის: L.I.E.S., Delsin, Construct Reform და სხვა. საკუთარი მუსიკალური იდეების რეალიზაციისთვის პარიზელი მუსიკოსი სხვადასხვა კოლაბორაციულ პროექტებში მუშაობს, რომელთა შორის აღსანიშნავია Polar Inertia და Unforreseen Alliance (Zadig, Birth Of Frequency და Antigone-სთან ერთად). 
BASSIANI პოდკასტის მორიგ სეტში, რომელიც BASSIANI Records-ის პირველი რელიზისადმი მიძღვნილ ღამეს ჩაიწერა, Voiski კიდევ ერთხელ აჩვენებს თუ რატომ ითვლება იგი თანამედროვე ტექნოს სცენის ერთ-ერთ წამყვან ლაივ შემსრულებლად. მინიმალისტური, ხისტი  და აგრესიული ანალოგური ტექნო ჟღერადობა 1 საათიან ლაივ ჩანაწერს განსაკუთრებულად საინტერესოს ხდის. სეტის გამმავლობაში Voiski მსმენელს იმპროვიზაციულ გადახვევების და გამოწვევების თავაზობს.

This May, we bought our Community Connections series to Paris, following previous editions in Los Angeles and Lisbon. The series brings our features, podcast and films into the real world through a number of community-based events focusing on vital local artists, collectives, promoters and venues pushing the scene forward.

We kicked off Community Connections Paris with a deep listening session at Silencio where Voiski channeled his inner Vangelis for this mediative improvisation.
