Bassiani invites Rorschack / Podcast #301 by BASSIANI

Bassiani Podcast 301 sees Italian DJ/producer Rorschack (Augusto Candeloro) take the reins with his streamlined take on psytrance, techno and groove-driven beats. Taranto born and Milan based, he joined Rome’s Timeless posse and their 12-hour raves in 2013, before starting up his own venture under the epithet Closer (Milan). Under the latter, his supervision and ongoing residency fuse connection and a tight curatorial approach that have left the city under his spell and cast a longer shadow on some of Europe’s hottest venues: FOLD, Tresor, Gare Porto, et al. His studio releases count labels like Fides, ANAOH, Out Of Place and Groove Disorder among its list of outlets, and a string of his self released work bears on its covers his namesake’s shapeless mark. His rapidly-sequenced beats too, offer the kind of deep immersion from which a chain reaction of free-association and body movement find both personal meaning and sharper form: this is the kind of techno that calls for gut understanding more than rationalized approach and dance as the solution. For this latest episode, the beats roll on: 85 minutes of purist, thumping sounds, killer frequencies from a master of the genre.
