Basement Session #25 by H

We are proud to present to you the new brilliant Basement Session mixed by H !

To our delight H(adrien) give us some own words about his project and life:

When I first met Techno, almost five years ago, I felt connected to it on the spot. It was like finding something that I was waiting for unconsciously. I understood the dynamics, saw the endless potential of it, and it just seemed to me that it was the logical evolution of modern music. Techno has this power, because it’s not just about sound, it’s about reflection. It can create a silent dialogue between you and yourself, between you and everyone around. At the time, it felt to powerful for me not to put my hands in it. I just had to get into Techno, to try to understand why this music was much more than many others. Then the warp took me. Techno created an extension in my head only dedicated to it.

At the same time occurred the second encounter, with urban exploration and the underground of Paris. This is definitely something unique about this city. There really is a second world under people’s feet. An abandoned one, made of thousands of kilometres of corridors, tunnels, caves and bunkers. What relates it to Techno? Discovery. In these places you can be surprised at every turn, and Techno can do the very same thing.

At some point, with some friends following the same paths, it got clear to us that we had to fuse these two passions of ours into one, and share it to people. That’s when we organized our first illegal rave, in an abandoned train station. The feeling of freedom from that time pushed us to continue our adventure, and we never stopped.

I learned to play music in these places, rave after rave, far away from all official clubs which were unreachable anyway. It probably marked the style, made to fit the unexpected and trueness of these abandoned locations. Besides this, I always had a thing for science fiction (particularly the old literature, I use this opportunity to recommend “Foundation” From Isaac Asimov to you readers), which became my guideline to tell stories through Techno. As many DJs, I travel in the infinite of Web, looking for music that will help me reach the only goal that matters during parties…

Create positive energy.

And with this beautiful story about H we will let you enjoy his great mix. We welcome him to our family and say thank you very much !
