Dekmantel Mix 508 - BASHKKA

BASHKKA plays with a purpose beyond making people dance. The Munich-born artist is an advocate for the social and political power of electronic music and is a proud advocate of queer culture. Next to her residency at Amsterdam's Raum and Blitz Club in her hometown of Munich, she plays across the world while dropping evocative originals and remixes across the house spectrum. For this week's mix, she homes in on a seductive groove that is grounded in her own "sensual, hypnotic and driving" house music DNA. Technically mixed but full of selection flair, it's infused with glimpses of her own forthcoming tunes while cruising through classic Chicago, bouncy old school and delicious depths.
