In this mesmerizing 2 hours DJ-set recorded last summer 2021 during the Kuboraum + Terraforma event @Funkhaus Harbour, Berlin, DJ Stingray 313 gave no time to rest, gracing the decks with eclectic, warp-speed slithery electronic sounds.

Since the 90s, Sherard Ingram has been one of the most influential artists in the Detroit underground scene. A menacing node in the vast tangle of electronic music’s history, present and future. Founder of Urban Tribe, Ingram worked alongside electro pioneers such as Drexciya, Anthony Shakir, Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodymann.
DJ Stingray 313's aesthetic was greatly influenced by the duo Drexciya. Their ethos was based on the afro-futurist narrative concept of a sonic fiction. Through a sonic engagement with water, futurity and the transnational dimension of transformation, listeners embark upon a universal journey to a place of self-discovery. In this context, a mythical creature emerging from the aquatic underworld was named DJ Stingray by James Stinson. Besides adding to the consistent aquatic tropes, the name Stingray also acutely embodied his slippery, killer attitude behind the decks. 

With more than three dozen releases, Ingram collaborated with labels as Retroactive, Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, TRUST and Mo Wax, later forming Micron Audio in 2008. In 2017 his first mix CD, Kern Vol.4, was released by Tresor.
From futuristic electro to conceptual ambient to downtempo works, his style is characterised by fast-paced, inventive beat patterns and constant shifts in tones. Warp-speed slithery, metallic techno with a UR punk edge and a rising sense of momentum.
A highly specialized, fine-tuned scientific experiment conducted by a skilled researcher: not euphoric, but more intellectual in nature. Always hectic and highly engaged, but never unfocused. And always carrying the spark of discovery.

Musician and performance artist Pan Daijing hails from Guiyang in South Western China. Rejecting her studies in the CCCP Daijing moved to San Francisco to accomplish a Masters in Sound Design for Visual Art, and from there moving to NYC to eventually come to rest for a while upon the concrete beach of Berlin. Daijing presents a diverse range of records, united in their aesthetic. Sonic textures from punk, techno, noise, bass and breakcore coalesce, caught between structure and decay, fracturing and reforming against the heavy kick of the machine. Growls of sub-bass, sticky hot ethnic rhythms collide head on with post-modern Western nihilism, lost in the grid, blood in the system. Dark light transmitting a full-spectrum deployment of corroded signals to guide you in your manoeuvres through time & space.

"I had recently bought some new records and was feeling really inspired by UR electro and experimental noise music. I wanted to make a mix for my collaborators in Discwoman and not have it affiliated or released by a man ha." - @umfang

My first introduction to DJ Stingray was from this mix I obtained of his appearance in Rotterdam's "famous to those who knew" Bootleg DJ Cafe in 2003. Back then his style was something I had never heard before and the sound made an profound impact on me as something new, fast, hard but funky and very futuristic.

Some of the tracks in this mix have been on my wishlist for ages, a  a lot have never been identified. As always, feel free to comment if you know any of them.

Enjoy!
