SO-PHAT-MIXES-36: DJ Sotofett - Live @ Brave! Festival Kyiv (2023-08-27)

On May 25th 2024, to accompany the launch of his Arthur Russell book "Travels Over Feeling" Richard King put together an event at London's Barbican celebrating Arthur's life with an all star musical cast recreating and reimagining his music.

I was thrilled to be invited to play a DJ set in the foyer afterwards. I have been an Arthur Russell devotee for 30 years and decided to play an all Arthur Russell DJ set*. The atmosphere was very special with lots of love transmitting back and forth from the DJ booth to the dancefloor. I really felt a freedom to slowly build it up playing so many of my favourite AR tracks and it was one of my very favourite DJ gis of 2024 so far.


*Full disclosure - there was an additional 30 minutes finale of this set that didn't record where I played non Arthur Russell, disco / disco adjacent records.

This is a love letter to trans siblings worldwide. 
Remembering all the sweet queer dancefloors I got to experience across Turtle Island this past year, I compiled many tracks I enjoyed playing out for sweaty wholesome qt bbs. 
Don’t lose hope. I love you <3

KENKEY SPECIAL

'Kenkey Special is different in many ways from my other material. Whereas the tracks on the album (and the EPs) were often tightly harmonically and rhythmically integrated, these tracks are often more atonal and the rhythms more chaotic. There are hints of almost bebop-like phrases. Chord sequences move aimlessly to uncertain destinations...
There is a sense of disintegration and disconnection.

There is one major technical change that I've used for the first time here - phasing rhythms that aren't locked into the tempo (You can hear one example around the 33 minute mark in the high synth plinks).

The tone is distorted and uglier than before. The title came from a sign I saw in an African market (it wasn't in Africa). I didn't know what it meant at the time, but I found the words evocative, and that combined with some negative events started to shape this new material and the feel of the mix.'
