The Masquerave Podcast is a regular podcast by Prague-based UK bass DJ and producer Z-Kat that aims to showcase the best new music from the bass scene.

Masquerave began as a monthly podcast in December 2014 in which Z-Kat played a mix of the hottest tunes of the last month, often accompanied by a guest mix or feature mix with a theme. Each podcast also featured a “release of the month” which celebrated the one EP or album from the last month’s selection which excelled the most in the now dying art of making a good release (as opposed to simply a collection of good tracks).

The podcast ran in this format for 50 episodes until January 2019, and featured guest mixes from many exciting artists from the UK and Czech music scenes and beyond. Masquerave also played a hand in organising a few events in Prague with guests such as Thorpey, Sample Junkie and Detrivore. The podcast currently returns for a round up of tunes at the end of every year, with a focus on new music released on Bandcamp.

Episodes from before 2022 are uploaded to Mixcloud and episodes from 2022 onwards are uploaded to hearthis.at. All of them can be streamed directly from masquerave.cz.

Don’t ever stop the hype!
