Up first for the SWEET DELIGHTS series & hailing from the Netherlands is KIM APRIL (vbx) 

Kim April grew up in the Netherlands surrounded by a close family that loved to go to festivals, concerts and listen to music together. As a child she remembers nights at home where she was looking for her favorite music & recognized them by the album covers & always asking here family ‘Can we please play that record again!’ By the age of 20 she found her new home in Spain, Ibiza. Arriving on the island by herself and finding her way around brought her many new friends who shared the same passion for events, nightlife and music. With every year a growing love for electronic music she started to dj and produce her own tracks. Having a piano at home from an early age teaching herself to listen to songs and recreate; to now producing her own sound at the studio in the north of the island as well as home. 

Kim April’s sound is heavily influenced by the Amsterdam minimal house scene & a touch of the London underground. She can be seen on many line ups with artist like tINI, Giammarco Orsini, CAP, Ferro, Dan Andrei, ANOTR, Prunk & many more. She has also been a regular at the PIV showcases in both Amsterdam & Ibiza at the infamous Cova Santa. Next to playing Ibiza & Amsterdam regularly, she can also be seen in clubs around the world like in Milan, London, Marbella, Mykonos, Dubai and more to come.

We asked her a couple questions :)

1. What do you consider a delightful moment on the dance floor?

The moment when my friends and I are dancing in the crowd and a track is played that we love but have never heard live. It’s always the most unexpected and euphoric moment.

       2. What’s the sweetest set you’ve played to date?

I really enjoyed my b2b closing set with TENSEN for the VBX x Sunrise event time at LOFI on the Yellow House stage. At one moment during our set we looked at each other saying “Okay we are not going to stop playing till they really tell us to close it down.”

       3. What’s the oldest memory you have of your first time eating chocolate ?

I used to spend all my pocket money on kinder bueno, slightly embarrassing, cant even call it real chocolate i think now. I would always try to hide it for myself so i wouldn’t eat it all in one day. Hiding something for yourself never works which was a lesson in itself.

1. What was a scorching moment on the dance floor that made you fall in love with Electronic music?

My relationship with electronic music began long before I ever set foot into a club so I guess I can tell you about a More recent moment that made me fall even deeper in love. One particular moment stands out vividly in my memory and that was Fumiya Tanaka's set at UN_MUTE's Perlon party Art Basel 2022. Complete masterclass and still to this day is one of my favorite sets from the last years that has truly re inspired me.

2. Do you like the combination of chocolate and spice?

YES! IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S ONE OF THE BEST COMBINATIONS BECAUSE OF THE CONTRAST OF FLAVORS AND SENSATION.
AT FIRST BITE YOU GET SWEET RICHNESS OF THE CHOCOLATE AND THEN COMES THE HEAT FROM THE CHILI ADDING DEPTH WITH A SOME TINGLE ON THE TASTE BUDS. THE CHOCOLATE'S SWEETNESS TAMES THE CHILI'S HEAT, CREATING A WELL-ROUNDED COMBINATION OF FLAVORS.

  3. What’s your favorite hot sauce at the moment? 

TOO MANY TO NAME BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE RIGHT NOW IT WOULD BE LION'S MANE PIRI PIRI FROM THE HEARTBEAT HOT SAUCE COMPANY, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST ADDICTING
SAUCES OUT THERE.

CHKLTE's Sweet Delight's series is back with one of my favorite Miami extracts; ALKMST!

For as otherworldly as ALKMST’s sonic architecture may be, she relies on a tried-and-true approach that’s as tactile as it gets. Building soundscapes by hand, she harks back to old-school house and techno with a fresh perspective and an inclination towards innovation. In essence, she reups, reignites, and recharges the pulse of the dancefloor by reembracing its roots. You’ll plunge into moments of jazz-y exploration, only to come back to life under the spell of cosmic grooves spun from the warm transmissions of dusty vinyl. Channeling inspiration from a life in love with music as a percussionist since the age of 7.

Born in from San Diego, CA and raised between Mexico, Los Angeles and Italy until deciding to settle down in Miami in 2019. All the while involving herself in the local scenes and melting into the atmosphere as an artist and audiophile.

As a rising talent devoted to preserving the house & minimal movement in the USA, she’s been associated with some of best acts such as Cinthie, Ricardo Villalobos, Thomas Melchior, Sweely, & Doudou MD to name a few. Her reach now spans internationally between Europe and the Americas and only continues to grow. In the end, ALKMST fuses all of the elements of her multi-cultural upbringing into one uplifting and undeniable message beamed out straight from her heart to the dancefloor.

The Sweet Delights series is proud to bring you UBIYU label boss and Texas native ROBERT ROMAN.

Robert Roman is surround sound personified. Through multiple channels, he is seemingly everywhere and all at once. By age 8, he was fascinated by the intricacies and subtleties of quality sound. He became possessed by the relationship of frequency and acoustics, through many genres. As a teen, he was mentored by his father and uncle on the fundamentals of setting up his sound system. Influenced by the Mexican electronic music scene, and inspired by his hometown DJs, Robert was driven to bring more diversity to South Texas. The inception of his career as a DJ/Promoter was brought to life by 18. Through beach-raves, utilizing generators and local talent, he first showcased his understanding and passion for music. This sent waves through his community sparking a new scene in South Texas, allowing Robert to host international DJs at his club residency for the following two years. His motivation to expand his knowledge brought him to Austin, TX, to attend audio engineering school and immerse himself into the Austin electronic music scene.

Robert’s ambition for a select caliber of sound led him to spearhead
Movement Collective, a party-series based in Berlin and Austin, hosting multiple residencies throughout his tenure. Furthering his relentless mission to develop and share diverse music, Robert co-founded Ubiyu, a record label & party series in Austin, TX. 

Ubiyu currently hosts two monthly residencies to showcase their roster of international DJ’s and is steadily releasing digital and vinyl EP’s. For more than a decade Robert has been able to share decks with the likes of Andrey Pushkarev, tINI, Dr. Banana, Bruno Schmidt, Raresh, Sweely, Cristi Cons to name a few. He's also been billed tO play South America's Trotamundo Festival and Berlin's CDV. Robert's appetite for sublime sound and a unique range of
selection will never be satiated.

Aphrodisiac Groove (Original Mix)

A conversation w/ CHKLTE
My relationship with electronic music started when I was around 14. Friends at school put me on to a Danny Howells Global Underground mix and the Deep Dish Moscow mix, and I became obsessed. Back home, I’d sneak into the local club using my older brother’s ID just to see the local DJs—Solrok (Robert Roman of Ubiyu), Klepto & DJ Art—every Wednesday. Promoters Maria and Ricky would let me into events even though I was underage, and whenever I could, I’d sneak away with friends to Monterrey to see artists I couldn’t catch in Texas. Those early moments shaped everything for me.

If someone hears my sound for the first time, I’d say the goal is to transmit energy and emotion based on the room, time, and atmosphere. Every set is different, but I always try to give people the most energy possible and make them dance, feel, and connect with the music I’m feeling in that moment.

Traveling to Europe starting around 2016 opened my ears even more. Hearing how different crowds and scenes interpret electronic music made me appreciate how producers around the world bring their own flavor and influences. Those differences inspire me constantly and make me love this music even more.

When preparing for a set, I’m a mix of deep digger and spontaneous selector. I love playing tracks that I know most people don’t have—music sent to me by friends, unreleased stuff, or things I find digging through Discogs and record stores when I travel. As much as I play older cuts, I also support the new music people send me. As a producer myself, I know how special it feels when someone plays your track out.

A moment that genuinely shifted my perspective was Fumiya Tanaka at Art Basel 2022 for UN_MUTE. I’ve been a huge fan for years, but that set in particular felt like he understood exactly what many of us were going through musically. It hit straight to the heart. Since then, I’ve had the chance to share the decks with him a few times, which made that moment even more meaningful.

This mix was recorded in Detroit the weekend after a gig—basically after partying and playing for about 12 close friends. It definitely carries some groovers and the mood of that night.

What excites me about today’s underground movement is that it’s constantly evolving. We can’t stop that, but we can guide it—by educating the newer generation and staying connected to the realness and the roots that made us fall in love with this scene. Collaboration, openness, and community are 
what keep underground culture alive.

Outside the booth and studio, my inspiration comes from my family and friends. They keep me grounded and motivated every single day.

As for what’s next: I have several releases coming up on both digital and vinyl. I can’t reveal everything yet, but if you follow me on social media you’ll see the announcements as they come. Event-wise, I’ll be busy in the US toward the end of the year, then heading to Australia and New Zealand early next year to enjoy the summer down under.

There are too many influences to name these days—so many producers and DJs I admire deeply. Some of the main ones include FURZ, SNAD, Garrett David, Shonky, Dyed Soundorom, Jane Fitz, Raresh, Saenz, Samuel Deep, Tristan da Cunha, O.BEE, tINI, and James Zabiela, just to name a few.
