Release Note:
"2018 Tbilisi Georgia. The energy captured materialized into the beats, melodies, and grooves across this album.
2022 the energy extended, echoes from the rawness, and its intention can be perceived all around the globe. With no program to stop.
Reasons enough to repress this record thanking hard to all those who have taken part in this incredible story which still has to be written.
As we are saying.
One of you." More

Since Héctor Oaks’ debut album “As We Were Saying” came out on Bassiani as BASLP01 almost 2 years ago, his career has gotten quite some traction. Time to celebrate one of our first international residents with BASRMX01. On his new EP he invites like-minded techno figures to remix tracks and bring in a new twist to his take on contemporary dance music. If this was a lineup, you’d definitely want to show up to the party. DJ Stingray and Somewhen kick-off the record with understated yet confident remixes. Voiski uses a beautiful and raw melody, elevating the original to even higher realms of potential dance floor ecstasy. Parrish Smith’s remix of “Afterall, She Had No Reason To Stay” pushes through with a fast beat and a pinch of darkness. Tribal drums and a luring melody complement the end of the release with “Horoom Reclusion” in a remix by Zesknel. More

There was a time when Techno was written with a K; when the music was presented as a song not as a track. It followed a structure - intro, chorus, bridge... These recordings were naive, spontaneous, and raw, that's what made some of them timeless. More

Stepping in with a new maxi, first after the album, can't deny it wasn't the easiest job. Inspired by several meetings with influential people in my life, this 4 tracker delivers melancholia and funk for the toughest Dancefloors in the very Oaks tradition. More

All that was fire and only ashes were left. No matter how many times we burn, as the scum, we'll grow again. "Proudly introducing the last Maxi-Single I'll be releasing this year. (No don't worry, OAKS is fully scheduled so you will hear from us). For the first time, I'm releasing a 4-tracker with highly emotive p(f)unktional music, for the warehouse or the club. These songs are written in a certain mood and I suppose that they accomplish their purpose. The willing to get lost, avoid reality and at least for some time forget this mad world that surrounds us. Please do not stop the rave." More

- What you can see, from here to the right, to the left, until the very end grew from the ashes. We had nothing, we came with empty hands, nothing to lose and this is what we got.- The man with the grey beard was announcing with humid eyes and pale inland when suddenly the younger one who was missing appears-
- Welcome my son, -the man with grey hair continues- AS WE WERE SAYING: All this was fire. More

Tracklisting
A1 DOLD - Work Me
A2 DOLD - Human's Worst Friend
A3 DOLD - Solid Solitude
B1 DOLD - Insight
B2 DOLD - At a loose end / Power moves

Sales Note
Stockholm repper Patrik Eriksson is a proponent for deep and loopy techno, under his Dold moniker the DJ/producer delivers all manner of introverted compositions, moments designed for home and club that resonate with an evocative and redoubtable simplicity. His catalogue of releases on co-run label Arsenik are an ongoing dialogue with live partner Kuf and a selection of well-known peers, stripped down techno that conveys a cogent message with its straight talking approach.


The Revival Recordings (BAS 014) is another vinyl feather in Dold's cap, a five track release that takes the relay from his developing opus and sprints assuredly on. A1 Work Me pairs mercurial hi-hats with subaquatic squeaks, while its successor keeps tempo and switches its leitmotif for hollow, metallic repetitions. The temperature rises with Solid Solitude, the A3 banger that's likely to make its way into many a closing set towards the end of summer. The B side takes a darker turn with Insight (B1), a slower, more philosophical entry suggestive of breezy Scandinavian nights. B2 points its arrow in another direction still, more urban, more clubfloor, shuffling acid beats that tie the record and Dold's many-faceted influences together in a neat package. There's a bit of everything here, and a hint at both Dold's capacity as a producer and what might be yet to come. A promise of compelling techno from the north that's sure to put his star on the rise. More

Tracklisting
A1 Newa - Dtrance Love
A2 Newa - Electro 404
B1 Newa - Equilibrium
B2 Newa - Equilibrium (Peachlyfe remix)

Sales Note
Tbilisi techno maven Newa packs a potent punch with her brand new Equilibirum EP (BAS013) out on Bassiani Records. Founder of the Shin imprint and a regular face on local decks, Newa's maverick ear is heavily qualified in the selection of other people's tunes, here she proves her talents don't stop there. This four track release kicks off with 'Dtrance Love', her personal spin on the 90s-imbued zeitgeist, whose throbbing basslines and gliding synths set a supernatural tone that plumbs the depths of mind. 'Electro 404' takes a tangential turn that offers squelching beats that lurch and menace, a darker order of solitary introspection. Her B-side opens with skittering rhythms and solid backing from an otherworldly melody that vibrates in and out of existence, while B2 is a second rendition of the last, delivered by none other than hydra-sonic Copenhagener Peachlyfe, dissected and turbo-charged.

The early, long and lonesome days of COVID lockdown provide the backdrop here, during which Newa was given ample room to explore her sound. From that chrysalis comes this latest release, the remnants of a moment of transition and global awakening, a techno record with a strongly contemplative bent. The pondering of an inner equilibrium you could say, and the tuning of a larger one without: human and nature in eternal symbiosis. Fervent and unyielding, this is weird and fearsome circuitry from one of Bassiani's most formidable residents, a thorough exploration of the world within. More

Tracklisting:
A1 Rene Wise - Sucker Punch
A2 Rene Wise - Lucky Number 7
B1 Rene Wise - Devil in The Saloon
B2 Rene Wise - Gorilla

Sales Note
British tour de force Rene Wise is an exciting talent synonymous with hair-raising and hard-nosed Techno. A name that's been confidently claiming its stake in common lexicon with a passion for polyrhythms, forward-looking frequencies and kaleidoscopic beats. It's the mind-expanding potential of his favourite genre that forms the basis of his new vinyl release on Bassiani Records. Drawing on personal experiences of the psychedelic sort, he also cites the role of atmosphere and spatial configuration in the making of his sound, in his own words: 'the space that the music is presented in, is hugely important and there are some very unique and special spaces in the world that capture the true essence of how techno music should be experienced. Bassiani is one of these places.' Well that praise goes both ways, it's hard to imagine a more fitting EP for the club. This four track release is both an homage to the Bassiani floor and a powerful dive into a trippy realm of Techno Wise has spent his years as a musician diligently exploring. A third eye journey across oscillating soundscapes and sonic horizons from the trailblazing techno wunderkind. More

In the 5th installment of our various EP series, we continue our journey through both international and Georgian soundscapes. Put the needle on the A side, and you'll find yourself in a melodic electro labyrinth. The journey goes on with the hypnotizing grandezza of a big room. The A-side closes with a spaced out sketch, deeply dedicated to rave reminiscences. What happens when electronic music resonates with eastern territories? Flip the record to find out. Distorted kicks and dirty drums, like ruins of an empire long gone, clash with house samples. Our second Georgian artist keeps it dirty: Intertwined melodies tell fairy tales of landscapes both familiar and foreign. More
