Poligraf Reflects 19: Is

Layers of sensations,
Cover my eyes,
Veiled,
By the night, hindered
They let them be carried out by instinct.

The cold makes the far clear,
It dims the close,
And let an interrupted thought,
By the need of something else.

Spaces, of silence,
Cover my ears,
Confused,
By the ice, that brakes,
By the cold waters,
That flood my limbs.

The hot is back,
When everything is quite,
The waves, the wind.
When everything goes against,
Without hesitations, to return.

To the silence,
Which leaves real sensations.

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, …).
