Mantissa Mix 361: G U I

The fourth and final episode of our summer series comes from Somatic Rituals co-founder, Kombé. 

@kombe

The Basel based DJ and Producer channels a deep synergy between polyrhythmic hypnosis and tactile sound design, shaping a sonic landscape that pulses with kinetic urgency.

This mix combines field recordings from Nairobi with sub-heavy mutations, traversing a blend of organic drum patterns that sit in the liminal spaces between bass, percussion, and club experimentation.

𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝘅I wanted to capture the sounds I’m currently into — a blend of organic drum patterns that sit somewhere between techno, bass, and dubstep. While recording, I was listening a lot to T++, whose shifting, intricate rhythms always strike me. The beginning also features field recordings from Nairobi, evoking a kind of big city energy — sometimes soothing, sometimes stressful.

My goal was never just to make functional club tracks, but to tell stories that resonate with me and my friends. The constant exchange with Mafou and Mukuna has probably shaped my music the most.

We’re always drawn to specificity and rhythmic complexity, paired with a sound design–driven approach and a general interest in futurism. The idea is not to repeat what’s been done, but to push electronic music into new territory — music for the heads, for people who enjoy the weird and challenging. A strong identity linked to our fathers’ home continent, Africa, is also at the core of the label.

May these sounds ease you gently into the week ahead <3
