doing work

Letting his superb selections and finely honed skills behind the decks do the talking for him, Unai Trotti emerged as one of our favourite DJs and curators in recent years. With the recent launch of two new Cartulis sub-labels, we caught up with Trotti to get the lowdown on his recent projects, playing in front of a crowd again and things to come, and he’s been so kind as to share with us, the recording of a set he played at Mutabor in Moscow, featuring 3.5 hours of brilliant transitions, pulsating tech groovers, proggy house and other ‘90s oriented goodness.

DJ Masda is a seasoned selector renowned for his deep excursions in house and techno. Born and raised at the foot of Mount Fuji, his path has taken him out from the shadow of the sacred mountain, through Osaka, and placed him firmly in the nerve centre of European techno, Berlin. He made his first steps in the 90s, spinning expertly chosen vinyls and developing a keen ear for subtler details that quickly got him noticed. In the decades since, he’s been busy building a body of work that includes playing at some of the world’s most revered venues and running his very own label and club series Cabaret with So Inagawa. Under their imprint,  he’s primarily focused on giving a platform to friends, those with whom he shares a personal connection and whose music brings something fresh and fun to the label; this fraternity of musical souls are hard at work to bring the very best of the Cabaret sound to market. Here, Masda’s own signature mix is made manifest for Bassiani Podcast 199: a patiently crafted three-hour dive into eerie electro, bouncy house, even a peppering of Italo nostalgia, recorded live at Horoom’s season close last July. A perfect end to summer and a perfect start to a new year, an act that’ll be hard to follow.

Avant-garde acid-tinged melodic trip music, encompassing all areas of intelligent, emotive, groovy and hypnotic sounds from past and present. A passionate and ferocious digger with razor sharp technical ability, Vass has carved out a unique take on sophisticated and trance-inducing late night club music, with an obsessive devotion and rare talent for threading together bold and intoxicating underground records bursting with his unique charm. Originally from Transylvania, he is now a resident at accomplished London based party Cartulis and founder of The Comfort record label.

A new record for the longest RA Podcast ever: Ten hours from the powerhouse duo sweeping techno, Chlär and Alarico.

Both commanding performers in their own right, sparks fly when the Swiss-Italian duo of Funk Assault combine. The buzz surrounding their productions, DJing and their label Primal Instinct is at fever pitch, and short wonder: when it comes to gritty, high-impact sets that barrel through multiple shades of techno, few are in their league right now.

RA.960 was laid down at Watergate this March during a signature Funk Assault marathon. The pair ramp up incrementally, and even before they hit top velocity, you can hear them ripping through records with tenacity and verve. You don't need elbows in your face to tell the place is rocking.

We're informed that ID'ing the set would probably take longer than playing it (fair enough), so no tracklist for this one. Instead, fill in the blanks at your leisure. As well as 150+ BPM stompers and groove wormholes, there's everything from tribal to ballroom, electro to bassbin rattlers, and plenty of classics. 

As an encapsulation of a night out's full arc, RA.960 does the business—and best of all, you won't even need a trip to the bar for water. The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Continuing to share memories from the Can You Jigit? Archives.. a sunday evening masterclass. Something to keep the tired feet moving, the soul breathing while also tickling the mind. One of our favorite moments of the weekend, where we could also let loose. In safe hands, with dear Vera.

2h14" extract by @nickymacha djset for Rebus After at Masada (Milano).
Set time: 3.00pm - 7.00pm.

"As a DJ, my greatest achievement is the silence on the dance floor, when everyone is so locked in that any thoughts or problems are forgotten. This was Rebus. A gathering of humans of all ages, diverse backgrounds, and nationalities, moving in perfect unison, utterly lost in the sound. And even now, the profound resonance of that collective immersion echoes within my very being."

Nicky Macha @ Rebus After Masada (23/03/2025)

There are many dangerous lizards to be found in Australia, but none are as tasty as Reptant. This multi disciplined artist is a highly prized name on the leftfield underground scene. With a duo of EP’s on Kalahari Oyster Cult, as well as standout releases on WARNING, the longstanding TRUST imprint, and a longplayer on his own LKR Records, it is easy to see why. Understandably, festival season is a very busy time for Reptant, he already has locked slots incoming for Love International, KUNE Festival, Houghton, Unaharn Festival in Thailand, as well as a slew of regular club business.

This mix was recorded live at Hoppetosse Berlin on Sunday, at the unofficial "New Kids On Acid" after hours, where I spontaneously and totally unexpectedly accepted to take over the party. I didn't have my records with me, as I wasn't booked for the party, so I ended up playing for 8 hours from my USB key I had in my wallet. We finished at 1pm on Monday. Despite some sloppy mixes I decided to upload the whole recording, only the last 3 h are missing- unfortunately the recorder stopped earlier then the party :)
