WALRUS CLUB

Episode 33 is here and joining me this month is DJ and @My-Own-Jupiter boss @NicolasLutz.

After getting his start in his native Uruguay and making stops in Berlin and London along the way, Nicolas has garnered a cult following thanks to his keen ear, his flawless mixing, and his unparalleled ability to unearth the kind of singular records that make his marathon DJ sets so special. It seemed to only make sense, then, that for this episode, Nicolas and I discuss his specialty: the ins and outs of his approach to DJing, his early formative experiences as an artist, and the musical philosophy that continues to inform his practice.

Anna Wall with Walrus - 25 November 2023

Alex Picone is a man who's seen many trends come and go and is now existing in a space outside of them; without a doubt occupying a unique spot in the dance music landscape. 

Primarily known these days as one of the co-founders of Seekers and Small Black Dots, with an extensive discography behind him and having put his hand to numerous other projects, there's a maturity to both his production and DJing that's rarely seen in tandem.

This propulsive, two-hour mix blurs the lines between the two; laden with Alex's own productions, the singularity of his artistic vision and depth of his record bag is on full display.

Can You Jigit? with O.BEE, Tomas Station and Kyle Toole @ The Lot Radio 05-10-2024

“Basic Moves” is an adventurous journey through the outer limits of house, techno and electro, inspired by an eclectic group of people and generations who share a real dedication to underground club music. 

Fresh or old tracks, current or unreleased gems, “Basic Moves” is a way to rephrase all of these sounds and influences while keeping an outsider’s spirit at heart.

Basic Moves with Adi, Walrus and Vera @ The Lot Radio 05-13-2024

To get you excited for the lite edition of Bonanza coming up in just 10 short days, we thought we would share with you the recording of Walrus’s set from Bonanza 2024. 

Walrus is a label boss, running the iconic Brussels imprint Basic Moves, deep digger - as comfortable playing techno as he is ambient and downtempo - and all round lovely human being. 

Opening up the main floor on the Saturday night, this is Walrus in house, deep house and tech house mode. Low slung grooves, acidic chuggers and the occasional break, this is that wraps you up and cuddles you in it’s warmth and good vibes, just like the man himself.

They claim to have listened to MMSU (whilst working in the store) more than anyone else. Maybe they are right, cos they nailed it.

We’re thrilled to share the next Planet Paradigm Podcast, delivered by Dresden. Recorded live at Planet Paradigm 2025, where they played the Forest Stage. The duo, consisting of Manfredas & Ivan Smagghe, treated us to their signature sound: a mix of new tracks, nostalgic minimal grooves, and psychedelic layers that pulled us all into another dimension. Now it’s time to dive back in. Enjoy the ride!

► Release Info:

HAFT, the Iranian duo of Sam Nasehi and Amir Subb, are known for fusing hypnotic synths, deep- rooted pads, and intricate percussion into a sound that bridges traditional textures with modern progressive house. Their debut three-track EP on Balance Music delivers a journey filled with psychedelic undercurrents and shimmering atmospheres that is crafted equally for the dance floor and for deep listening.

The brooding ‘Driftor’ is designed to nudge any DJ set in the right direction. An off-beat bass drives the engine, allowing you to comfortably sit in the pocket of its inviting narrative. Steely drums and percussion form a cohesive frame, while a bag of tasteful effects, samples, and stabs fill the remaining spaces. Once the breakdown hits, in all its subtlety, you know you’re in the hands of professionals. This is essential prog, designed for any occasion.

There is an undercurrent of psychedelia running through ‘Myntal’, hypnotic and consuming. Low- end frequencies double as notes, merging with the bass to create a dizzying effect. Its main-room identity, however, is confirmed by drums that strut forward with propulsive energy. It all points towards a seductive breakdown, its layering teasing a drop that confirms it: this is designed for floors ready to ignite.

Filled with depth, ‘Prism’ shimmers and shakes as synths and stabs perpetually morph. The result is a continuous stream of sonic moments to lose yourself in. Thankfully, the dense bassline and drums bring you back from the edge of hypnosis, filling the space with an elastic energy as buoyant as a trampoline. Then comes the breakdown: bells dissolve into minor-key haze, half beautiful, half surreal: an inviting dream-logic that is hard to deny.
