Fact Mix 2023

❀2

Mixes

KMRU is a star in the making. In 2020, the Kenyan artist released three LPs – 'Peel', 'Jar' and 'Opaquer' – with the former landing via Viennese experimental imprint Editions Mego. All three releases – plus last month’s album, 'Logue' – signal an artist with a clear focus and boundless vision. 

Given his compelling approach to composition and arrangements, we thought we’d tap Kamaru for a specialist mix devoted to the sort of leftfield, experimental and ambient sounds he’s been quietly fashioning into something that sounds entirely unique to him. Kamaru’s mix showcases an array of tracks produced by Black artists from Africa, and the diaspora.

KMRU plays Intonal Festival 2021, which runs from 16–20 June.

Leftfield sounds from Africa and the diaspora – Mixed by KMRU

Further Information: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-211-kmru

To celebrate the release of the Tresor 30 box set we have a special mix from KMRU. 

"A contemplative dive into the sonic remembering, the mix to me evokes the sense or remembrance or trying to remember, featuring artists and musics that I've been listening and remembering in the past months. The mix was recorded on Ableton and a Push 2." - KMRU

@joy-orbison: "I've been really enjoying DJing again cos it feels like there's some great new music around at the moment. I've just come off a mini tour on the west coast of America and this mix is kind of a snapshot of where my heads at in the clubs right now."

Tracklist

The Cover Mix: Joy Orbison

Experimental sound artist KMRU(@kamarujoseph)is a master of quietness. His music is as much about empty space as it is the delicate field recordings that fill it in. The Kenyan artist has been perfecting this balancing act from his base in Berlin, most notably on 2020 full-length Peel. It's a record of slowly unfolding synth beauty and drawn-out drone mindfulness. Soft focus chords bleed and blend into one another like different shades of watercolour paint and the environmental nature of the sound sources lends it a gorgeously natural atmosphere.
For this week's most meditative mix, KMRU puts together an hour of soothing sound in a painterly fashion. It is unhurried but always going somewhere thanks to a gentle underlapping rhythm, expansive synth arc or little hiss of static. What sounds like distant vocal calls drift in and out of the mix which at times is like a recording from the furthest recess of the cosmos, at others the pleasant ambiance you might hear out of a Berlin window on a sunny afternoon.

HD144: Prepare for ascension with Fakethias.

Hard Dance 144:  Fakethias

Perc is a titan of British techno: one whose throbbing sound channels generational fury into hammering beats designed to make you sweat. His cathartic strain of purist techno even tackles the odd polemic once in a while, with holistically named tracks, artwork and sampling that puts a social spin on his output. Cut from this cloth, Perc delivers a percussive mantra for Bassiani Podcast 118: harsh, unapologetic techno with a soul.

Hopping between Web2.0 and 3.0 like Hayden Christensen in Jumper, ealing produces music synthesised from the online absorption of faraway genres such as Southern trap, Chicago juke, Jamaican dembow and more. A granular petri dish, ealing combines disparate sounds, their DJ sets and production reflecting a diversity of listening that inspires smooth transitions from Aphex Twin to Young Dolph.

Ealing cut their teeth in the Meanjin / Brisbane scene, with sold-out shows at Super Whatnot and opening slots at Red Bull Music Academy. The move to Eora / Sydney saw the release of the HEARYOUCALLINGME EP, a palette of expertly articulated audio hieroglyphics, fitting as comfortably in a club as a Super Mario 64 water level. 6A63 / ICY WHITE, out on Deep Scan Technologies, reiterated their forward-thinking approach to music, a double A-side single exploring ambient and phonk.

Their singular approach to the fusion of electronic and hip-hop has found fans across the alt-spectrum, with support from Ninajirachi and Moonbase, plus plays on Rinse FM, FBi Radio and 4ZZZ. Live shows, remixes and ankle-breaking tracks ahead expand the Ealing Sonic Universe: bringing Internet-core to the dance floor.

"I wanted to capture what it was like to see me live. I set Jayda up, made sure she felt good getting up on stage – sang the last song to the crowd. I wanted something that was a look into what it is to hang out with me when I’m performing live – everybody has a good time, everybody feels safe and loved, you know what I’m saying?"

TMS. 488 JUNIORE SUPER & RIGO

We first caught wind of maya q earlier this year though her sophomore release for London imprint All Centre. Anyone with a penchant for hot footing it to a takeaway after a late night booze up will have had a chuckle at the title of the first track. Merrily, I hastened to the chicken shoppe / beno (soft) marked maya's second outing on the well-respected label, following 2021's I just wanna. 

Both EPs, along with the releases' predecessor on Scuffed Recordings, showcase her experimental approach to creating swung rhythms, low end frequencies and syncopated drum patterns inspired by jungle, UK bass, breaks and UKG, but with her own unique melodic and playful touch.

When maya isn't making music, she DJing as part of the Co-Select crew alongside the likes of TSUNIMAN, Airali and Will Hofbauer, the latter of whom released her most recent musical outing, break rev, on his Third Place imprint.

We got her on board for a mix that threads together the music she loves from poppy electronics to ethereal jungle, liquid DnB and playful vox-soaked rhythms.

'One man's dream can hold dominion over the entire world, 
for one who dedicates his life to the forging of a single sword. 
While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, 
other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. 
Dreams breathe life into men, 
and can cage them in suffering. 
Men live and die by their dreams, 
but long after they've been abandoned, 
they still smolder deep in men's hearts. 
Some see nothing more than life and death. 
They are dead! 
For they have no dreams'
