Rødhåd / Ndrx / LYDO / Matas / como se DJ / Meilgaarden is on Sat, Oct 14, 2023 at Basement, Maspeth. Lineup: Rødhåd.
Dystopian founder Rødhåd is one of Berlin’s most emblematic and celebrated DJs. As a producer, selector, organizer and overall cultural force, he’s been an essential figure in the surge of modern techno in the German capital over the past fifteen years. Playing with a stoic depth and an emotive core, his massive, longform sets pulsate with elemental power. Bassiani’s NDRX brings the taut sizzle. A mainstay at BASEMENT, NDRX is one of the finest examples of Georgia’s recent wave of outstanding talent. He perfectly balances a tough-as-nails impunity with gritty, twisted rizz. BASEMENT resident Lydo keeps it frosty. Their sets are some of the most attuned in NYC, with a cool touch and an exploratory malleability that never loses the thread. A Lydo set is guaranteed to go in.
Matas’ atmospheric, roiling sessions have become a regular occurrence at STUDIO. The NY DJ stitches together pockets of rich, dubby suffusion with passages of eminent naughtiness. A moment of pure bliss can elegantly transition into lovable cheek and whip-crack feistiness. Recess’ Como Se DJ returns following last month’s debut. Get locked with elegantly mixed bounce-house bangers and flowing, spiraling phosphorescence. Mister Sister’s Meilgaarden lands in the room once more. It’s time to get hyped: when Meilgaarden’s on deck, expect a surge of sugary, widely-dilated sonics. Calling back to the bubbly, digital textures of early ‘90s UK house, she harnesses euphoric rush and futurist energy with stylish verve.
