Awakenings Podcast series

@hkt0 delivered 90 minutes of hypnotic techno during the Warsaw leg of the Mixmag x Burn Energy Tour 2024.

The second stop on the Burn Energy Tour 2024 put focus on the Polish capital with a full throttle line-up headlined by Dutch master of euphoria KI/KI, followed by Sept, Hekato and Ola Tecks at the spectacular Palace of Culture and Science.

The Burn Energy Tour’s lens on Warsaw’s nightlife is a testament to the game-changing work being achieved in the city, with promoters and collectives like Narocz 13, Tainspotting, Oramics and INSTYUT, and clubs such as Smolna, Luzztro and Jasna 1, forging a distinct musical identity in the city that is the best it's ever been.

In the daytime, Mixmag and Burn presented a workshop with The Blu Mantic interviewing Sept, Ola Teks and Cyryl on the topic of 'How to run your own club night'. Through their own parties such as DUEL and Move Mózg, these artists have changed the landscape of Warsaw’s dance music scene, throwing parties in interesting and offbeat locations, pushing new sounds to the fore, standing for inclusive values, and opening the minds of the next generation. Practical advice was given on how to conceptualise and build your own events, helping to inspire new members of the club community and progress the future of the scene with fresh energy.

Warsaw was the second stop on the Burn Energy Tour 2024, following the debut event in Budapest with additional stops set for Italy and Spain.

« It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it »

Including my own creations alongside tracks from artists I love, this set becomes a reflection of what I strive to convey through art. To those who listen with an open heart, may you find resonance in its depths".

Stone Techno Festival 2024 - Elli Acula - ARTE Concert

The back2back mix was recorded live at Fossil Archive Presents at The Glove that Fits in London. This is organised once a month on a Sunday evening by Roberto R.M.K, and it was a truly special one. 

Even though they had never played together previously, the blend of styles felt like they’d been doing it for years. It was a truly magical experience for everyone involved, which was aided by the lack of air conditioning which had broken the day before. The heat and music were very intense which resulted in everyone sweating like crazy! Hopefully this will be the first of many b2b’s they play.

"The recording captures the vibe of KiNK and Raredub on stage. A good balance of party and heady music, a journey of funky techno and UK/bass music influenced beats. The selection includes some unreleased tracks by the duo and their friends".

KiNK:
Say what you wanna say, but you have to give Strahil Velchev this: the man’s a powerhouse. Recording and playing live under the KiNK alias, he went on to become one of the finest purveyor’s of funk in techno and house. What it is, by definition, ain’t exactly clear. And that is the beauty of it.

KiNK’s music is unifying in the best possible way. Channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didn’t really matter who the faces behind the music were, KiNK plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. At the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the Pope himself is infallible.

The pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience – rather than carbon copies of existing designs – was what started KiNK’s production work. Hailing from Bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from Sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. Wanting to DJ without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. So, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond.

From KiNK’s early productions with Neville Watson to his smash-hit for Ovum, a cerebral album for Macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, Playground seems to take all that into a blender. Simultaneously a sound- summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of KiNK dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions find their idiosyncratic and contemplative counterparts – all of it coming down like a torrent in a drought.

Raredub:
Raredub is a Sofia-based music producer and DJ. Known for his high-octane energy, he infuses every set with a distinctive and dynamic vibe, regardless of when he plays.

Drawing inspiration from the early ’90s rave culture, Raredub puts a unique spin on his tracks. His music pulsates with raw beats and cutting-edge grooves, making a signature and bold statement.

In 2021, he dropped his first EP on KiNK’s Sofia Records, stepping onto the global music scene. His work has gained recognition by artists like Paul Woolford, Fjaak, Paggy Gou, Partiboi69, Skin On Skin, just to name a few.

Live at the WORK Warehouse: Realize - Trance Set (Sept 28th, 2024)

I really enjoyed playing this set at the end of an exhausting year. Sometimes, when I feel empty inside, music naturally comes outside. It’s a great reminder for myself that I’m not an imposter in this industry, even when I lose the sense of what I’m doing. 

Huge thanks to the club and it's residents for recording my set <3
