DJ TOOL – Bassiani Podcast 315 Tracklist
Danish-born, Berlin-based DJ TOOL returns to Bassiani for another dose of frenzy. His trance-inflected selections are a defining feature of his evolving sonic palette: psychedelic, high-impact rhythms par for the course. Spanning earlier influences like punk, metal and noise, as well as newer inspirations from a more purist techno realm, his recall for sounds is unmatched, with years of digging, dancing and vinyl-focused practice forming a bold identity through his ongoing work. As an early affiliate of Copenhagen’s Fast Forward crew and co-founder of Berlin-based collective and event series Mala Junta, he’s played a pivotal role in recontextualizing trance and breakneck beats for a new generation, with queer perspectives and inclusivity at their core. His extended sets push persistently onward, stretching over many hours and balancing an equally driven fervour with steady pacing and flow. Serpentine rhythms that coil and morph through dense and layered structures, DJ TOOL channels meticulous technical accuracy and equally fine-tuned instincts via XL format compositions. For Bassiani Podcast 315, the Danish selector throws down yet another long-form exploration of his signature output. A hefty six-hour run through mutant grooves and unstoppable clubfloor momentum from a techno heavyweight recorded live at Bassiani.
