Blitz

Resident Advisor’s albums of the year feature is a must-read for us at the Blitz office anyway, but we’re even more delighted that Mr. G’s current album, that’s out on our very own Muallem‘s label CHILDHOOD, has been named one of 2023’s best albums.

It’s no secret anymore that Vienna’s musical underground is bursting with talent and skilled artists and that many of the city dance music scene’s interesting figures regularly play at Blitz. Katia Curie is one of them. Blitzcast 018 is a great place to start when getting into the Kyiv born selector, who’s also one of the driving forces behind Vienna’s > Sonic Resistance <.

Our resident Bashkka and her irresistible style of music and DJing is in high demand right now: a short look at her touring schedule proves our resident habibi is more than busy! We’re delighted to present her first curated event ANIMA, taking place at Blitz where Bashkka will appear alongside a thrilling lineup consisting of Ariel Zetina, LYDO, Mama Yha Yha, Peachlyfe, Softchaos and Teecra.

Busy and exciting times for Ed Davenport, whom some of you will also know under his alias Inland.

As Ed Davenport, he released a new EP with a trio of gleaming, house orientated tracks on our very own Muallem‘s Childhood imprint titled PLACE OF CONNECT PT.1 < and he recorded a new mix for our Blitzcast series, brimming with the estival vibes he’s been spreading at the gigs he played this summer.

Back in July 2023, our esteemed resident 600-Cell went back to back with his good friend and underestimated local digger Elias – two DJs who let their music and mixes do the talking.

Usually known for his soulful, understated selection of vintage Disco & House, our resident 600-Cell & his companion Elias delivered a stunning Techno set full of beguiling machine funk we don’t want you to miss.

Munich’s Süddeutsche Zeitung has honoured our resident habibi Sedef Adasï with a feature on their prestigious Seite 3, shedding a light on her career and the struggles within the club scene. We’re delighted to witness how more and more people are realizing her extraordinary talent – read more about it in German right here and as always, stay tuned because we’ve got many more exciting things planed together with Sedef Adasï!

Our residents BASHKKA’s performance at Glastonbury’s Block9 is among Resident Advisor’s key performances of the festival. We’re more than delighted to hear that our resident BAE’s sets get the recognition they deserve. We are very proud of our girl! If you wanna witness her magic live and first hand: she’s playing at Blitz this Friday 30/06, together with Avalon Emerson and Octo Octa for a night of unique dance floor delights!

Our longtime friend and curator of the Ritournelle Festival Tobias Staab (or perhaps better known under his DJ moniker La Staab among our Blitz crowd) has just recently been appointed as the artistic director of Munich’s DANCE festival, the prestigious event for contemporary dance performance.

Blitzcast 016 comes from Berlin based Electro duo and Childhood associates CYRK, that are known for a thrilling blend of Electro and Techno and spherical textures reminiscent of Italo Disco’s characteristic bliss.
Their Blitzcast travels Disco, House and Acid, while being firmly rooted between the cornerstones of Electro and Detroit-inspried techno.

Our 15th Blitzcast comes from the local native and firm Blitz favourite 600–Cell. The mix proves 600–Cell’s capabilities as an acquired selector and, as always, spans a wide range of genres that showcase his unique approach to percussive drums & grooves as well as the charismatic understatement that we love about him.

Our resident habibi Bashkka is making waves all over Europe, dishing out muscular funk and queer club bangers and working on making nightlife more diverse and a safer space for LGBTQIA+ people, reminding people of dance music’s origins that’s rooted in queer POC, in Munich and everywhere else she commands the decks – and crowds.

This is another piece to my musical puzzle.
After “The Forced…” album, I still felt there was further I could go in…
So again, with David’s support, we ended up here…what a place!
Never stops amazing, what happens while making music from the soul.
