This is a live recording for Virtual Burning Man 2021. Completely selected on the fly. 

This curation is something different for me. Yet, it embodies well my ongoing curiosities. Most of this music is influenced by the strongly emerging Amapiano/Gqom/Afrobeat culture we are witnessing at this time. The novel grooves, rhythm complexities, staccato, syncopated punchiness, raw power and fire inducing feelings; Take notice, this is a strong movement. 

Please comment for track ID.

bside.radio 004 w/ Rich Nines (All Vinyl Set)

"Explorative, sub-heavy drifters and creepers from Caro, channeling heavyweight soundsystem sonics as much as organic, airy texture and atmospherics, conjured up in Sinixt Territory // British Columbia, for our friends at Limbo Tapes here in Bristol >>

What a killer tape this is, quite possibly one of our faves on the label so far (and there have been many gems) - Across 12 cuts, ranging from ethereal and shape-shifting, to dank and heavy, Caro lays down a full-length trip through warped sounds for reminiscence, and forward-gazing alike.

Perfect music for the autumnal shifts with the sun vanishing behind misty clouds, but equally something for a late, dark night inside."

Building on several contributions to Bristol's forward thinking label Limbo Tapes and appearances at festivals across North America including Mutek, Bass Coast and Active Passive, Birthname (fka Caro) continues to distill their loop-oriented style of storytelling. 

Birthname makes and processes sounds using hardware, computers, batteries and numerous small fuses and wires. A computer is made up of over 30 different minerals which are mined and extracted from the earth. 

They explore various means of communication by layering field recordings, instrumentation, voice and synthesized waveform. There are 7 main types of communication and an estimated 7,000 to 7,100 distinct languages spoken worldwide. 

Birthname's music is both a mirror and a bridge. Merging intimate, inner-life with the current historical, topological and geopolitical landscapes. Like any spiritual practice, it is an exercise in attention. 

On the air regularly since 2018, Caro has hosted and welcomed many guests through radio shows on CJLY (Nelson, BC), B.Side Radio (Vancouver, BC) and online through Noods Radio (Bristol, UK). Their new monthly as Birthname, called Fire Shelter, airs monthly on n.10as out of Montreal. 

Spiral Dance, their most recent LP, was released in 2025 via Limbo Tapes.
