Bassiani – Horoom – Fri, 16.10.2026

An influential visionary artist and electro pioneer, Anthony Rother, performs a hybrid live at Bassiani on 16 October. Rother has left an indelible mark on electronic music through his singular artistic legacy over two decades, building a vast musical canon that reflects his journey as a sound researcher traversing aesthetics far beyond the boundaries of electro, techno, and pop. In 1998, he founded Psi49Net to showcase his vision of electro, cultivating a unique form of storytelling guided by dystopian futures and societal changes driven by technological progress. Rother works under the aliases D.J. Whiz, Family Lounge, Little Computer People, Lord Sheper, Psi Performer, Studio, and Telekraft, in addition to collaborative projects and collectives including Datapunk Rockstars, Musical Voyage Target, Netwerk Europa, Netwerk Florida, Netwerk Frankfurt, Notsignal, Rother Geist, Zodiac, and T.F.D. Crew. Alongside him is Nikala, an enigmatic adventurer, exploring a left-field side of techno, breakbeat and D&B, sci-fi and mysterious soundscapes; joining them is 3AM, co-founder of the FLINTA* collective TransForma, while producer Beka Wu delivers a live performance. Wu’s debut EP was released in 2023 on Shin Records, followed in 2024 by Vortex, a dub-heavy, groove-laden album on Morevi. A back-to-back set comes from Aneelhi Rec founder Ina Kacz and Thomas Hessler, inspired by Detroit’s heritage and his lived experiences between Berlin and Tbilisi. A true trailblazer of the early wave of Tbilisi’s club scene, Tomma returns to Horoom alongside Edge; Gonno, the mastermind behind Sanka, brings an acidy and melodic flavour to his DJ and live sets while still staying true to his house and techno roots, with releases on Ostgut Ton, W.C. Recordings, P-Vine Records, Beats In Space, Merkur Schallplatten and 禁 JIN. DJ, singer, songwriter, and producer, Virginia, a Panorama Bar resident, fuses warm analogue house and electro from the 80s and 90s with off-kilter swinging grooves accented by spontaneous live vocals. From her debut LP, Twisted Mind, to her solo productions on Ostgut Ton and her collaborations with Steffi, Virginia's rich voice has brought a golden touch to her wide-ranging catalogue.
