k means [UK]

ブリストルを拠点に活動するDJ k meansは、まだ10代の頃、幻想的なビデオゲームのサウンドトラックをピアノでカバーしたのがダンスミュージックとの出会いだった。その後、フットワークの目まぐるしくリズミカルなフューチャリズムに惚れ込み、実験的で催眠的なサウンドを息もつかせぬ重低音のビートに織り込み、ダンスフロアの最もどろどろとしたサイケデリックな感覚を開発し始めた。ブリストルのPsychotherapy Sessionsのレジデントであるk-meansは、Noods、Rinse FM、Netilにも広範囲になミックス・セッションを提供し、イギリス国内だけでなく海外でもプレイを始め、ベルリンのOHM、ロンドンのFabric、マルメーのIntonal Festival、クラクフのUnsoundなど、独自の視点を披露している。

Bristol-based DJ k means had their first brush with dance music when they were just a teen, covering fantastical videogame soundtracks on the piano. Later falling in love with footwork's dizzy, rhythmic futurism, they began to develop a feel for the dancefloor's gooiest corners, folding experimental, hypnotic sounds into breathless, bass-heavy beats. A resident at Bristol's Psychotherapy Sessions, k-means has also contributed extensive sessions to Noods, Rinse FM and Netil, and has played across the UK and beyond, bringing their unique perspective to Berlin's OHM, London's Fabric and Malmö's Intonal Festival.

To round off 2024 in style, we’re revisiting a set from Bristol-based Swedish DJ @k_means, playing the very last set of Unsound 2023. The eclectic selector takes us for a wild ride through the weirder corners of club music – going from off-kilter footwork to dub and bashment dancehall.

Bristol-based @k_means operates at the fringes of electronic music. It's not tempo and genre that unites their sound, but more an exploration of mood and texture underpinned by bass-heavy low ends and hypnotic rhythms. The Noods, Rinse FM and Kiosk Radio regular is also resident at Bristol's Psychotherapy Sessions and will debut at Dekmantel Festival where you should fully expect to be taken into plenty of unknown musical territory.

It is the same with their mix for us this week - a wild trip into futuristic drum patterns and interplanetary sounds that melt the mind and contort the body. There is a constant push and pull between the organic and the synthetic with tribal percussion and warped vocals brushing up with bleeping synth modulations and experimental minimalism. It's a magnetic selection that's as much an imaginary movie soundtrack as it is a dance floor escape.
