Séance 01 - Edgar

A spontaneous curation by Melbourne's own @katharine-motiontheory :

"It seems more so than ever that these days when I open my email to catch-up it is filled with musings from friends devoted to the future thinking movement. We live in an age now that many of us read about as children, we absorbed science fiction and fantasy novels in our youth. With artificial intelligence now a real thing, with talks recently that it has already become self aware. We like AI, seem to be forever longing to better understand the world we are growing up in. Some of us discovered music and never let go, always yearning to feel the next release on our ears from our favourite artists and bands. @katharine-motiontheory is one of those DJ’s who is always seeking, and we are lucky to have her. Who better to write the code required to appease the darkest of electronic souls. If machines could listen to the music they created it might feel something like this. A perfectly asymmetrical compartmentalisation of sounds circuit bent through quartz locked hearts."

Koche Podcast | 035 - Liquid Mechanics

Beat In Me is back for its second release. Recognized for bringing some of the most cutting-edge Romanian DJs to his event series under the same name in Tokyo, RAHA keeps pushing the envelope with Beat in Me. This time he introduces, with sincere confidence, two Japanese artists he has long supported: Tomohiro Yano and Yuji Kobayashi.

"Sazae EP" features two original tracks from Tomohiro and Yuji, respectively, and a collaborative work from both, perfectly displaying their raw talent and individual styles.
'BW 002' finds Tomohiro Yano exploring sounds profoundly connected to the Romanian house scene: snappy drums, hypnotic midrange textures, and a whole panoply of very organically detailed soundscapes that work their way into the subconscious. Below the veil, a constant kick-drum on the 1's and the 3's keeps everything marching like a dance ritual on a dancefloor. 
Yuji Kobayashi expands on the idea of hypnotic dancefloor shamanism and showcases his meticulous drum programming and impeccable sound-design skills with 'Mirror Ripples’. Modular bleeps, morphing basses, ghostly textures; everything here flows organically, like a sonic ecosystem to get lost in. 
Closing the EP with a collaboration, Yuji and Tomohiro bring their best to the game. Together, they created an even deeper excursion into drum syncopation with deeply melodic undertones, a world of understated grooves made to get lost in time and space. 

Displaying a unique knowledge of house and techno music with minimal character, "Sazae EP" seems like the perfect alternative for those thirsty for the type of tracks hailing from Romania, with an added Japanese sensibility that perfectly fits those dancefloors craving for intensely hypnotic grooves.

東京で開催する同名のパーティーにて、[a:rpia:r]を始めとする数々のルーマニアンアーティストを招聘してきたRAHAの主催するレーベルBeat In Meの第二弾。今回は彼自身もかねてから強くサポートしてきた日本人アーティスト、Tomohiro YanoとYuji Kobayashiの２人を世界に自信を持って紹介するEPとなっています。

"Sazae EP” には、TomohiroとYujiのそれぞれから2つのオリジナルトラックと両者のコラボレーション作品が収録されており、彼らの生き生きとした才能と個性的なスタイルを完璧に表現しています。
’BW 002’ では、Tomohiro Yanoがルーマニアのハウスシーンに深く結び付いたサウンドを探求し、鋭いドラム、催眠的なミッドレンジのテクスチャー、そして非常に有機的に詳細に作り込まれた音景が、潜在意識に作用していきます。ベールの奥では、1と3の絶え間ないキックドラムが鳴り響き、ダンスフロアはまるで踊りの儀式を繰り広げるかのように進んでいきます。
Yuji Kobayashiは、催眠的なダンスフロアシャーマニズムのアイデアを拡張し、'Mirror Ripples' で彼の緻密なドラムプログラミングと完璧なサウンドデザインスキルを披露しています。モジュラーブリープ、変形するベース、幽霊のようなテクスチャー; ここにあるすべては有機的に流れ、音の生態系のように時間を忘れて迷い込めるものです。
コラボレーションでEPを締めくくるYujiとTomohiroは、最高のパフォーマンスを発揮しました。彼らは共同で、深いメロディックアンダートーンを持つドラムのシンコペーションへと更に深く旅立ちました。穏やかなグルーヴの世界は、時間と空間に迷い込んでしまうようなものです。

ハウスとテクノミュージックのミニマルな特徴を独自の知識で表現した "Sazae EP" は、ルーマニアから発信されるタイプのトラックを求める人々にとって最適な選択肢の1つであり、加えて、日本人アーティストならではの繊細な感性がプラスされ、強烈な催眠的グルーヴを求めるダンスフロアに完璧にフィットしています。

It's been a while since we last featured a female selection on the series, and this presents the perfect opportunity to embrace and appreciate the power of women behind the decks.

>> Be among the first to hear Herck's remix from Rupert Wall's Brooklyn label: Selekt.Sounds. Yesterday they released a very original minimal EP by Easterle Paolini called Grasshopper Experiment, with remixes by Herck and Vermeil. <<

From Australia's East Coast, we have the privilege of receiving one of the most dynamic sets ever heard on a:ritmi:a: @katharine-motiontheory. With over 20 years of experience curating music, Katharine has played at numerous residencies and parties, honing a unique approach to selecting music. Alongside her partners Ben Abrahams and Jules David, Katharine also founded and continues to work on their label Motion:Theory:Music.

It's quite challenging to capture the vast array of styles you can hear and feel throughout the entire set. However, you can effortlessly perceive the wide range of sounds that Katharine seamlessly incorporates without overwhelming the listener. From subtle transitions between minimal, micro, deep, and dark, to unexpected twists and turns, she maintains a strict, clean selection and mixing style.

We take great pride in showcasing the power of women on the series, so don't forget to #Share & #Enjoy this new mix with your friends.

Radio Mesa 07 - Katharine Abrahams "Perceiver"

Just before the moon yawned dawn and broke through the shadows of the night, we found ourselves reduced to silence drawn into the floating story of Afumati.

Recorded at Experiment Intrinsic 01
13 December 2014 - London
Water View Room

Water View Room • Afumati

This is one of my favourite mixes.   
The music is over 6 years old & came together in an unplanned session that long ago.

If you like the way it makes you think & feel, the depths it hints at, the warmth it generates, then do enjoy my other sets from over the years too.... *vibration:appreciation*

Mixed on turntables with timecode vinyl.  

I originally made it for the Romanian Podcast Series ART E.  The series was curated by Sabina Muller who had gathered a great collection of artists. 

It had lots of hearts which made me feel pretty loved up x

Katharine *INREGISTRARE INTERPLANETARE - repost from 2018 - DEEP & FIREY

Deep Seahorse Podcast presents: Katharine Motion:Theory

Spontaneous curations filled with sublime sounds, hypnotic grooves, lush astral house & minimal funk *Vibration appreciation*

Motion:Theory are Katharine and Ben Abrahams:

Perpetually Promoting Perception Expansion along Australia's East Coast since 1998 with parties in the Byron Bay Hills and Melbourne, 7 years of Saturday nights at the infamous Elsewhere Bar, Surfers Paradise, with some of the world's best underground djs, and many psychedelic house parties. They are married, have children, friends, animals and lots of records. Their parties have always drawn those who crave it deep, and like to emerge in the early hours enhanced and inspired. Their sound blurs the line between house and techno; slightly sideways & always psychedelic; it's liquid dub for the dance floor. Ben and Katharine play at parties, for collectives and renowned club nights between Byron and Melbourne, while lovingly affiliated with the Killing Time Bar. Be enhanced by their spontaneous mutual vibration appreciation.

"The researcher Majix says our brains are so sensitive, that they are like liquid crystal in response to the magnetic component of the earth. We are sensitive to earth’s magnetic changes, changes in the ionospheric cavity and resonate those frequencies ourselves. We are incredibly complex entities, beyond the layperson‘s comprehension. Our brains are indeed a type of bio-cosmic transducer." Nicholas Jones.

Katharine Motion:Theory - Deep Seahorse Podcast #106

"We are creative creatures, and all motion towards creation is healing. I ponder how miraculously things come together as we work with energy, whether it be finding music while raising children (and ourselves!), mixing it altogether without too much over-thinking and then giving it to others with the intent to bring joy and forge new connections, or engaging in another of the infinite possibilities life presents us." - @katharine-motiontheory

*Vadim Svoboda of Makesense about my Rupert Wall mix:  "GREAT MIX Katharine, I have nothing to say but: tight, personal, varied but very homogenous... top notch."  

*Feeder Sound Romania: “her recordings are intense and with a sophisticated perspective on sounds and rhythms." 

Sublime sounds and hypnotic grooves stimulate her being, compelling her to source and mix, creating a micro, minimal, soul-stirring experience she calls astral:house. Those who crave nourishing sonic sessions have followed Katharine’s journey along the Australian East Coast alongside her musical partner Ben Abrahams for over two decades as they’ve influenced the scene with their exciting taste & consistent delivery of stimulating underground house & techno, both in clubs & outdoors. 

Together they created ‘Strange Brew’, an all ages acid-house vinyl party at the Billinudgel Pub, Byron Bay, at which time the infamous 'Shed' was built;  revelling in the Outback for sunset was deliciously surreal, dancing to stripped back house grooves amongst the gum trees. 

They ran eight extremely memorable years of Saturday nights at Elsewhere Bar on the Gold Coast. Katharine played psychedelic house before Ben's killer 5 hour sets, then both joined together for the heaving sweaty early morning hours.  Elsewhere won Best Music for a Club in Australia at the Sydney Bar Music Awards at that time. All vinyl back then.

Katharine had the first of her two children before returning to Melbourne and putting on high-vibe parties at the infamous Killing Time Bar & My Aeon,  always with a tight crew of Australia’s best underground djs.  

Katharine made mixes for Art-E Romania and the Microtechno Podcast series 9 years ago, having long been recognised for her way with intricate sounds, particularly with lovers of micro-house & the Romanian influenced minimal.  She appreciates music which alludes to the transcendent - both gently & powerfully.  As an undeniably charged up being she just keeps on lovingly creating fresh soundtracks for her friends’ lives. Last year she made 21 mixes for amazing collectives around the world, including Half is Enough Romania's Strangers in the Night: each session is an experience. 

Her unique way elevates and deeply satisfies at both sunset & sunrise, and she has played magical closing sets out in the forest, most recently for the Comfort Zone crew on their final day on the main stage by the creek. 

Find her playing at Killing Time Bar, at Motion:Theory parties & for local crews (Subterrania, Synergy, Cable, Over & Mood Pilot), but experience her anytime through the Motion:Theory mix series and the sessions she makes for collectives who appreciate her taste and storytelling ability: 
it’s LUSH MINIMAL for the dancefloor. 

*Latest mixes are made from vinyl & waves for 333 Flow Sessions - Byron Bay, Abartik - Switzerland, Sono Unica - Sweden, A:ritmi:a - Colombia, E-Series - Sydney, Destruct - Germany, Deepthreem - UK, Rupert Wall's Select Series - Brooklyn, Feelin' Station - Tehran, Rhizome Records - Seattle, Koche Records - Spain, Strangers in the Night - Half is Enough - Romania,  Mood Pilot - Melbourne & Alterhour - London, Fratii.ro - Brazil, Abs_Track Label - Spain, Spclnch - Netherlands & next up Butter Sessions - Australia.
