    About This Event

    Bassiani Night at BASEMENT brings Newa, Kancheli b2b 98dots, LYDO, DJ Minx, Jason Kendig, and Kilopatrah Jones. The bill centers on DJs who prioritize structure, pacing and texture: DJ Minx brings Detroit house/techno grounding, Lydo moves between electronic, jazz and hip-hop/R&B inflections, 98dots and Kancheli trade in minimal, performance-minded electronics, and Newa and Kendig work in darker, percussive long-form sets.
