~mixes~

KMRU is a star in the making. In 2020, the Kenyan artist released three LPs – 'Peel', 'Jar' and 'Opaquer' – with the former landing via Viennese experimental imprint Editions Mego. All three releases – plus last month’s album, 'Logue' – signal an artist with a clear focus and boundless vision. 

Given his compelling approach to composition and arrangements, we thought we’d tap Kamaru for a specialist mix devoted to the sort of leftfield, experimental and ambient sounds he’s been quietly fashioning into something that sounds entirely unique to him. Kamaru’s mix showcases an array of tracks produced by Black artists from Africa, and the diaspora.

KMRU plays Intonal Festival 2021, which runs from 16–20 June.

For the final Phase Group Mix of 2022 we invite Loma Doom from Amsterdam to the series. 

Loma Doom - real name Femke Dekker - lives in Amsterdam where she's a vital member of the music scene, a seasoned digger and radio host as well as a curator and educator of contemporary art. Her dedication to radio is quite amazing, holding residencies on Radio Tempo Nao Para, Echobox Radio and Stranded FM as well as Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee, an online radio station dedicated to art.

For her Phase Group Mix she has gifted us with an expertly composed deep listening experience. One hour of shamanic trance moving through dark droning soundscapes, tribal percussion and ancient voices chanting echoing incantations, recorded live at the Radio Tempo Nao Para studios in Amsterdam. Thanks Femke!

In celebration of Nowruz, Spirit Blue invite Lylla to play a selection of traditional and contemporary Persian music – including parts of her late grandmother's extensive cassette collection ('maman bozorg'), which she found in the family home in Esfahan during her pilgrimage to the motherland in November 2021.

@executive_lunch

For the 2nd edition of pi2pi-- we are joined by kohwi and his internet elusive partner executive lunch in the good ole spirit of the b2b experience. 
For the Q&A they will go back in forth in the pipipi style...
Thank you for listening & enjoy the journey <3


K: Who exactly is executive lunch?

EL: Executive lunch is an afternoon special at Cafe Brasil in Culver City, a gentleman’s short-lived escape from atomization, a creature birthed in São Paulo and raised in the desert.

EL: This is your second pipipi mix. What has changed since your first?

K: Well first of all I guess I live in California now. Very grateful to you for luring me out to the crazy weirdness of Los Angeles. It’s been a strange year to move to a new city, but I feel at home having you as my rock and the handful of friends that have woven in and around our lives these past 12 months. Musically this one feels so different than my last pipipi - every song has some story or place associated with it that we shared together. Also, there’s a certain playfulness that you brought out in me which doesn’t come out as much solo.

K: If you could live inside of a fruit, which would it be and why?

EL: I would live inside of a pomegranate, for the texture

EL: What was your best interaction with a more-than-human life form this year?

K: When a black & white cat appeared at my back porch in LA and left a dead mouse on the door. We tried to leave water or food but he didn’t really stick around for it. Still not sure if he wanted anything in return or if he was just feeling particularly generous that night.

K: Take your favorite song from our mix, and describe the feeling you had when you first heard it

EL: I don’t know if it was the very first time I heard it, but the track with the most potent memory is no vale Na by Chico Blanco. Early in the lockdown, vibing down PCH with dear friends Sam & Chase en route to Topanga, where we all snuck into a park to watch the meteor shower from the wet grass

EL: The song you imagine you were conceived to?

K: https://youtu.be/l3_kndxPVrY
