@gwenans' rise through the ranks has always been driven by a love for the music. She hasn't produced any big breakout hit and never dreamt of headlining on a super-sized main stage. Instead, she has quietly honed her craft playing at intimate London parties like Toi Toi and her own Hi Fi, made a successful move to Berlin where she fomented close ties with cultured crews like The Ghost and impressed with her pitch-perfect sets as a resident at London's Pickle Factory as well as the beloved Freerotation in her native Wales. Her sound is rooted in house and techno that is deep and kinetic, but it can stretch way beyond and into a world of leftfield electronics and heady ambient. 

On this week's mix, Gwenan does what she does best: establishes a groove your body can't resist then slowly tweaks and builds on it for 80 minutes. There are never any big left turns or flashy tracks, just a well-sequenced, neatly mixed and super-tight selection of irresistibly good records. Some go heavy on the bass, some twist and turn on a cosmic synth and some have a machine-made soul that warms you to your core.

Tipped to us by previous mix contributor, Unai Trotti, Vass shows us exactly why he is a regular feature and close affiliate at accomplished London-based parties such as Cartulis and Art Of Dark. Recorded at one of his gigs this summer at Bánkitó, a beautiful lakeside festival in Hungary, he takes us on a tour de force of his impeccable record bag, covering heady dance floor trips, acid-tinged goodies and spaced-out wobblers. We also caught up to hear the latest.

Multisexual Mix #8 Vlada

Kim has been touring discotheques as a clubber since before most of us ever heard a techno beat. She was a regular dancer at Cherry Moon, Fuse, P3P, Food, and Silo to name a few classic Belgian clubs and party concepts. She smoothly and slowly observed how things flow in clubbing land, and after all those years she got behind the decks (decks that her husband G. gave her as a present!) and became an excellent, very precise deejay with a selection full of deep, floaty techno grooves and sometimes organic ambient excursions. Her 10 hour-long “More is More” mix she recorded as a live stream (accompanied with visuals by G.) during the pandemic is already a (local?) classic mix that has often been put on at afters-without-turntables. So while this mix is definitely shorter, it’s even better in its own way! Kim has also been helped us with the Basic Moves online communication and now sends out the newsletter, we secretly call her kim.com. 

Welcome to Kim Kenis' musical world full of rich attitude and sharp flavors.
