Some words by Jephta about this mix:
Last year's rhytmic adventure led me to a new found passion for all sorts of break orientated sounds. 

To solidify this passion, I decided to compose a full-on dark drum 'n bass and halftime mix, consisting of my current favourite artists and labels of the genres.

For the thirteenth episode of our podcast series, we are presenting a 90-minute studio recorded mix by Kim Kenis.

Natural consequence is a key phrase for Brussels-born DJ Kim Kenis.  Raised by a drummer, it’s no coincidence that she easily stays in time as she strings together gems from along the genre spectrum. Known and loved as someone who pretty much can’t stop dancing once she starts, it was only a matter of time before she channeled this endurance behind the decks.  Whether sending stargazers into the ether with her ambient selections or getting hearts and bass thumping on the dancefloor with her minimalistic techno sets, Kim brings a bewitching tenderness to her DJ-ing that quickly caught the attention of the Belgian scene.

With the tenacity of a historian deep in an archive, she’s had a near-prolific output of thoughtful, studied radio mixes since 2019 (Refuge Worldwide FM, WAV, Radio Sofa) and an interesting club & festival schedule (Waking Life, Horst Arts & Music, Paradise City, Listen! Festival, Funke, …).

This Feeling

This is a special mix by REGIS recorded at Kuboraum during the fourth episode of our "Atonal Off" event series.

It was our honor to host & share this event last August 2018 with a special crowd that came to celebrate this unique moment for the underground music scene: the 25th year of the legendary Downwards Records.

The well visited off jam session was a very notable and intimate birthday celebration and this set is delivering the exact atmosphere and vibe that was experienced during this evening.

Downwards is a record label founded in Birmingham, England in 1993 by Regis and Female, it has a fundamental and influential impact on the electronic music and techno panorama we know today since its beginning. 

Thanks to Regis, Layne, Jim Ningus and Justin Anastasi for their incredible music and the beautiful vibe they created.

"A special thanks to Karl O' Connor aka Regis and to Downwards for those incredible 25 years. With your sound, you have designed a unique aesthetic which deeply inspires all of us."
