KHIDI Podcast 198: NGHTLY (LIVE)

Francesco Tella, a.k.a. NGHTLY, is a producer, DJ, and live performer originally from Caserta, Italy, who explores existential depths through rhythms and melodies. Starting his career at the age of 18, he draws inspiration from EBM and techno, finding his authentic expression in techno body music

Russian minimal /breakbeat electronic producer Symbol “Yakuza” single [Samovar]

“Yakuza” beats out a slinky yet snappy energetic breakbeat groove where warm plump bass lines pulse, over swirling radiant emotive synth chimes, to pace back and forth amidst a fuzzy bodily intensity and immersive glowing abstraction.

Italian acid /cosmic disco /synth-wave electronic producer and co-founder of Turbokitchen, Philip Lawns – “Virginia (Naobum Remix)” from “Virginia” EP [THISBE Recordings]

The magnetizing and enthralling rework by the enigmatic Naobum adds relentless squelchy raw acid impulses to the Italian producer’s signature bass-heavy blend of bouncy cosmic disco and synth-driven trippy excursions.

Naarm/Melbourne-based dubstep /dub /warped techno sound artist Will Landman, aka Coloursound “Foresight” from the debut “New World” EP [Animalia]

Naarm/ Melbourne newcomer “bridges future-facing dubstep to warped techno and everything in between.” Swaying between an ethereal atmospheric ambience and a painstakingly chiseled dub-laced crisp percussive emphasis, the dilated flows that permeated “New World” shape a vivid emotional torrent of dense airy pad saturations, churned by burbled bass lines, from which luminous reverberations disclose immersive textures imbued with soft melancholy, drawing a mesmerizing, subtly tense, sinuously enveloping motion.
