Palavas are two mysterious producers hailing from the South of France ready to position themselves as one of the hottest new Indie Dance duos on the scene. Their name, Palavas, is a reference to Palavas-les-Flots (FR), a vacation town near their home that in the 1980’s owned the prestigious title of «Queen of Mediterranean Beaches.” In their music, Palavas aims to recapture this golden era, with sun drenched italo disco elements, and summery beats.

The duo has already been busy making a mark on the scene. Their first eps were released on Intercept Records in addition to their own label, AZZUR, and have garnered DJ support by acts such as Hot Toddy, Gilles Peterson, Folamour, Ame, Laurent Garnier, Marcus Worgull, Grazzz, Crackazat and more. They’ve also been busy DJing, with highlight performances at the I Love Techno and Big Bang music festivals in Europe.

“We wanted something crazy that Djs could play peak time. We have focused on the breakdown to make it epic. It is clear that the 80’s sound has once again influenced us on this one.”

Palavas’ latest singles “Giorgio Baroudeur” and “Aston Martine” are  out now on Brooklyn’s toucan sounds record label, and they sound amazing. Here it is the first one for yuor pleasure!

Composed of both Brazilian Henrique and Kenzo, the duo brings to the dance floor old school House, Techno and everything in between. With more than 4 years of experience, they have accumulated many successful releases and remixes in previous projects, been played on some of Brazil’s hottest electronic music radio stations (Energia FM) and been supported by big names of the industry such as Kungs.

Now, moved to Berlin, they reformulate themselves in this new bold project: Auderê. With the main focus on the finest of House and Techno.

Their last track has been released 7th of February, together with their first single. But some little surprises may come along in their recent created socials, so follow up to keep yourself updated.

The track gives a chill old school House vibe, with an upbeat feeling. It was inspired by many lofi house and new disco producers coming to light these days, and you can hear the influence of these older genres mixed with a new fresh vibe in the song. The piano keeps it relaxed while the bassline makes it groovy and fun to listen to. Great work!

A warm and soulful house tune, consisting of a proper house groove with jazzy good time chords, just how we like it here in theBasement.

Classy Talk is the first single of Moritz Bommert aka Bomat, a 29 years old producer and DJ from Berlin. The track is released on Nurvous Records, the sub label of the iconic New York City based house label Nervous Records (releasing house music for decades by genre defining producers like Little Louie Vega, Kerri Chandler, Felix Da Housecat, Frankie Knuckles and many more).

Bomat is Moritz Bommert, a 29 year old music producer and DJ from Berlin. Moritz’ passion for house music startet at age 19 in 2010, when he moved to Berlin to explore the electronic music scene.

Deep diving into the city’s vibrant musical landscape he worked as composer, producer and DJ for several years, playing and releasing music in different constellations until 2015. After a creative break Moritz returned into the studio in 2018, working with different vocalist and musicians in order to find his very own sound.

Seems like a good future ahead for Moritz.

New Chinese rising star Tsunano knows how to make a statement whether that be through his sultry vocals, multi-fusion compositions or his striking image that has been captured by fashion outlets such as Nylon Shanghai, Lui and L’Officiel.

‘Educational’ is the latest release from Tsunano and can be compared to the funky House vibes similar of Disclosure, or the drumkits from our beloved Kaytranada. Having produced for artists such as Chris Lee and Momo Wu, Tsunano has taken the reigns on the vocals and has taken it up to the next level as his buttery tone swirls across the beat, flickering in and out of falsetto before embarking on an insanely catchy spoken word, rap-like verse. Blending together a culmination of Electronic, Hip-Hop, Reggae and Funk, you can hear each of Tsunano’s influences.

The bass constantly flickers between grooves whilst a minor melodic chord progression offers a hint of melancholy before a heavier bass lead, toe-tapping drop takes over. ‘Educational’ is a song that forces you to pay attention, which it certainly has done for Universal as their French division are currently championing the tune and it’s fair to say that it is standing strong to be the hottest new tune to hit the radio globally.

If the product itself wasn’t enough, Tsunano made sure to pair a stunning and incredibly aesthetically pleasing video with the song, featuring the streets of Hong Kong whilst making sure to show off his flair for artistic vision. The most striking element of the video, however, is the first 30 seconds where Tsunano makes a poignant speech on the construct of femininity.

Since first venturing into his music career at the age of 17, Tsunano quickly gained popularity in China and has earned recognition of acts such as Yellow Claw, Cesqeaux, Aazar and more and has shared the stage with many international icons by performing at events and festivals in China & beyond such as Storm Festival and Amsterdam Dance Event. He is an artist so artistically in-tune and detail orientated that it’s clear to see how he has rapidly become of the leading trailblazers in the Asian Electronic scene.

Shout out to Tsunano!
