With mix 249 Perko delivers a potent blend of scattered breaks, beats and bass-lines, effortlessly exploring a range of tempos and genres throughout. His singular brand of electronic music draws as much from sound art as it does modern club music - his off-kilter productions and remixes having attracted the attention of revered labels such as Numbers and Posh Isolation, on which he released his album Galerie last year. We delighted to welcome him to our series.

DIM249 - Perko

@kiernan-laveaux is a boundless ball of chaos energy - an adventurous spirit, conducting the binary dissolving forces of our world that are reflected & transmuted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. The Cleveland artist's mission is "to channel love and understanding to dancers of open mind and spirit everywhere." Since 2014, her ethos of community building, personal autonomy, & transportative psychedelia has grown to encompass the multiversal creators of possible worlds everywhere, the In Training, Heaven is in You, & Disco Paradiso parties that traversed the wormhole of limitless expression & jouissance together in Cleveland from 2014-2018, & the Motherbeat raves that continue to manifest sporadically throughout our known universe. The music she plays is impossible to pin down in genre terms, but is unified by it's restless sense of ecstatic momentum, dissonant euphoria, & kinetic exuberance.

Her 80-minute mix for us this week is jam-packed with a little bit of everything, from peak time and head melting techno to heavenly electronics and Earth moving beats. The twisted rhythms and quick mixing style keep the whole thing moving at a real pace and move you ever closer to a transcendental state of dance floor psychedelia.

C to the Power of X: Bake with Kassem Mosse - 26 September 2022

@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello! My name is Tanner Hockey AKA DJ Hockey (he/him). Currently I reside in Vancouver, B.C Canada

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Daily impressions and my emotional state is a source of inspiration. When I go to mix at home I often select based on how I am feeling, or a mood I want to project.

Describe in detail your favorite place to sit & listen to music.

Rather than sitting, my preference for music listening is walking. My walk to and from work is around 30 minutes and I can generally finish an hour mix a day. This time is meditative as I tune everything around me out and focus on the music and walking.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers?

Production for me is rewarding, but tough work. I can fall into periods where the thought of starting a new project can seem daunting, on the flip side I can be very addicted to a project once started. Finding one source of inspiration can be all it takes to push yourself into a new project. Re-interpreting an element of an old song is often helpful for me.  

Favorite BPM and why?

I really enjoy 130-135 as it’s a pace that can have drive but people can still marathon dance, or at least I can :).

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

More protection for DIY spaces from gentrification and recognition of their cultural importance at municipal levels.

<<<< CAMPBELL BIO >>>>
Naarm based DJ and radio host Campbell has long been honing his craft, calling on his UK roots, to entrench himself as a staple of the local bass music scene. As host of PBS 106.7FM program The Blend, which is soon set to celebrate 20 years of broadcasting, the weekly program has become an integral part of the cities rich musical fabric. Inside Campbell showcases a diverse mix of electronic music across the heavier end of the spectrum.

His love for music and future direction was cemented as a key member of the crew behind the Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA) in Melbourne '06. Soon after he established the Blend Corp. label to distribute the material of renowned artist Wax Tailor (FR), among others. Campbell's connection and contribution to the greater music community saw him join the CDR team, which ran Melbourne producer meetups, and continues through mentoring announcers and DJs at PBS. The Blend has a strong emphasis on supporting new talent, along with the more established, featuring weekly guest mixes and interviews from both local and international artists.  

Known for his eclectic taste, sets vary depending on the night in question and he is not one to be put into any box or category, comfortably slotting into diverse lineups covering drum’n’bass, jungle, footwork, dubstep, grime, halftime, UK garage and beyond. Residencies past and present include Howler, Workshop, Lucky Coq and Black Cat, along with regular spots at clubs such as Revolver Upstairs, Miscellania, Sub Club and Section 8. A selection of recent highlights include performances at Melbourne Music Week Live Music Safari, Sub Club 8th Birthday, Red Bull 1800 Doof, plus Digital (UK), Pangaea (UK) and Djrum (UK) shows. Having completed several tours around North America and Europe, his latest took him to headline shows across Asia.

Asia tour highlights, spanning 7 countries: Japan at Zubar Tokyo, Singapore for Kings of Bass, Thailand at Irie Bongkok, Taiwan at 23 Music Room Taipei, Indonesia for shows throughout Bali including Plutonic, Potatohead and 40 Thieves, Hong Kong for the Rolling with the Waves boat party and Dark Metaz club show, and the Philippines for the Ichiban launch party and Ichiban Festival on Siargao Island.

USA and Canada tour highlights, across 8 cities: Los Angles, Detroit, Portland, San Francisco, Montreal, New York, Chicago and Denver. Shows covered iconic venues and club nights such as The Black Box (Denver), Stamina (San Francisco), Proper (Chicago) and Motor City Wine (Detroit), where he was greatly humbled to have Underground Resistance legend John Collins come down to meet and scope the show. Radio appearances during the period featured broadcasts on dublab (LA), XRAY fm (Portland) and Music is my Sanctuary (Montreal).

European tour highlights, covering 10 countries: Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Brussels, United Kingdom, Hungary, Finland, Latvia and Germany, with shows including the Outlook, L'Estrany and Soundwave Festivals. The first of which he played several slots culminating in the epic Converge Boat Party with Youngsta, Jack Sparrow and Kaiju. Other shows included playing alongside such luminaries as Om Unit in Prague to the Levelz crew (Chimpo, Skittles et al) in Berlin, as well as an NTS radio visit and mix for the CDR Audio show.

Past Australian highlights: Melbourne Festival Artist Party, Rainbow Serpent Festival, The Dot, Outlook Festival Melbourne, Sun & Bass Melbourne, Strawberry Fields, Earth, Paradise, RBMA Shows (DJ Vadim, Clark, Lone), Judge for The Age Music Victoria Awards (2014/15/16) ++
