On December 4, BASSIANI welcomes Kancheli, whose distinctive musical narratives, defiant expression, and street-infused aesthetic bring a singular dimension to Tbilisi’s club culture; Chami, a devoted vinyl enthusiast and tireless music digger, reflects the true spirit of techno. His artistic approach combines precise record selection with technical mastery, while his vinyl-only sets are driven by hypnotic sound, tense grooves, and uncompromising energy. Beyond his solo work, Chami is a member of the French rave collective Minijob and co-founder of DIG Curated, a label he runs with his longtime friend and kindred spirit, Olivia Mendez. Together with OPH, he also forms Face 2 Face, a project built around two mixers and four turntables, where interlocking rhythms and textures unfold through musical dialogue and improvisation. Rooted in Brooklyn’s underground culture, Function is a pioneering techno innovator whose artistic identity emerged from New York’s early rave and the musical legacies of Chicago and Detroit. For over three decades, his contributions to the evolution of techno have taken shape through Infrastructure NY, the label he founded; the seminal collective Sandwell District, established alongside Regis and Silent Servant; LSD, a collaborative project with Luke Slater and Steve Bicknell; and an extensive body of solo work. Joining them is DJ Nobu, a pioneer of Japanese techno whose eclectic approach to experimental sound is deeply rooted in the DIY ethos of rebellious subcultures, punk, hardcore, thrash metal, dub, and hip-hop. Beyond founding the iconic Future Terror party series in 2001, he runs the Bitta and curates Reprise at Tokyo’s WOMB, a platform that showcases emerging local talent. At Horoom, Hamatsuki will deliver a live performance, joined by Beka Wu, Sophie Phare, and French artist, feminist activist, and emblematic figure of electro and house, Jen Cardini. Their journey began in the early 1990s with the discovery of Underground Resistance, later unfolding through residencies at the legendary Parisian queer club Le Pulp and Rex Club. As the creative force behind Correspondant, Færies Records, and Dischi Autunno, Cardini has left a lasting imprint on contemporary electronic music through their releases, DJ sets, and commitment to independent club culture. They are also the founder of Nightclubbing, a platform championing queer and FLINTA* artists and celebrating the collective power of the dancefloor.
