Dj Masda – Bassiani Podcast 199 Tracklist
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, mixes for RA, Technique Tokyo and Undersound, running Middle of Nowhere parties in the Japanese capital, taking on A&R duties for Energy Flash Distribution (EFD) and launching 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 season closing night last July. A perfect end to summer and a perfect start to a new year, an act that’ll be hard to follow.
