Born and raised in New York but now transplanted to Berlin, @gabriellekwarteng has quickly become a Panorama Bar regular known for her eclectic radio shows. The move to Europe widened the scope of her DJ sets which tend to be high energy and punchy with plenty of techno, while on the airwaves she is likely to serve up a mix of boogie, Afro-disco, and neo-soul. That broad approach no doubt stems from growing up in the musical melting pot that is the Bronx, but also from childhood summers - and later a year studying abroad - in London. Add in a desire to champion the classic Black American genres and you have the foundations of the Kwarteng sound. 

All this is reflected in this week's mix which traverses global genres with effortless enthusiasm. Hefty bass cuts and weighty rhythms build into acid-tinged workouts, sounds of the diaspora spread across the course of 70 minutes and energy levels drop even when the mood changes. It's a great snapshot of a DJ at ease with worldly sounds and the ability to thread them all together into a communal dance floor experience.

Video Teaser: vimeo.com/163339794

The second album of a sixteen years old producer Quok «Traveller» represents a thoughtful look back in time and diving into sensitive palette of musical impressions.

Allusions to the soundtracks of rainy French films are replaced with rattling sounds of cosmic ocean, charged beats, futuristic space-organ and piano cues - this is how Quok's trying to identify counterpoints of his youthful nostalgia, or he’s permanently counting time which is impossible to return. We can say that Quok created an album of the elusive attempt to capture the moment in eternity - every experience will inevitably dissapear while leaving behind another path in your memory to which you will return again and again.

Among his favorite producers Quok has noted such artists as Amon Tobin, Floex and Clark. The artist successfully balances between different styles of atmospheric electronic: comes on gloomy territory oppressive post-dubstep, ingeniously compiles acoustically saturated downtempo, cinematic drama and melancholy jazz leisurely, performs vocals.

Tracklist:
1. quok - careless kid
2. quok - invisible friend
3. quok - raining in my head
4. quok - neon-hearted ocean
5. quok - lie
6. quok - hometowns
7. quok - patchwork
8. quok - vesna
