Hoppipolla (The Tape Variations)

Editions Mego welcomes KMRU back to the fold. Kin is Kenyan born, Berlin based, sonic wizard Joseph Kamaru’s second release on Editions Mego, following on from the classic 2020 release Peel. Since the release and subsequent praise for Peel, the artist has been a staple on the electronic scene performing on numerous stages and festivals worldwide in tandem with a flood of media recognition. Kin could be construed as the second child following Peel. The project came out of initial discussions with Peter Rehberg about what a Peel sequel would sound like. Kamaru is quick to clarify that Kin is not that record; “I'll know when that record will come and when I'll make it. It's already happening... or maybe it lives within both of these Mego records”.

It is this deft ambiguity and vague tiptoeing around the concrete that encapsulates the ambiguous sound world of Kamaru’s vision.

Kin was started early 2021 in Nairobi with Kamaru exploring his noisier palette of sounds encompassing distortions reminiscent of the sounds he would muster from in his youth when playing guitar. He paused making this record for a year as soon as Peter died, then slowly returned to it through 2022 resulting in the immense new work we have here.

The charms within Kin lay as Easter eggs revealing the true identity behind the colourful sonics only after multiple deep listens. With Trees Where We Can See sets the tone by way of a warm swaying melody inviting the listener in for further investigation. In 2022 KMRU and Mego stalwart Fennesz toured the USA together resulting in a strong friendship and also, the second track here, Blurred. A neat Mego/Editions Mego loop as such. Blurred arranges twangy guitar strums alongside glistening glaciers of shimmering drones. They Are Here represents a darker hue as melancholic clouds of shadowy noir tap directly into the listener's nerve stream. Maybe takes a detour into a bristling euphoric electronic storm whilst We Are screeches in a pattern formation not unlike a highly abstracted Aphex Twin forcing its way out of a hard drive. By Absence concludes proceedings, operating as both exit music and a portal to further sonic investigation with acoustic bellowing residing amongst a kaleidoscopic backdrop.

Kin is a trip that rewards close repeated listens as all the colours and textures, nuance and narratives unveil themselves. This isn’t a record to be glossed over, magic rewards concentration.

Kin is a record to be Played slow and LOUD.

For Pita.

Mindwaves Music is pleased to present Audio Scape, a diverse compilation of various artists curated by the Berlin based DJ duo ChillinBerlin.

This release marks a significant moment, serving as the second compilation assembled by Jus10 and Pat Flanders, whose initial selection, "Mindwaves Plantation" (2008), was the very catalyst that sparked the birth of the Mindwaves Music label. Over a decade later, ChillinBerlin returns to showcase the label's matured soundscape and new artist roster.

This essential sampler is a deep dive into the more cerebral and intricate realms of modern electronic music. It deliberately spans the atmospheric depth of experimental electronica and the complex, fragmented rhythms of IDM, culminating in a selection of tracks affectionately termed braindance.

The ChillinBerlin duo meticulously maps the currents between glitch, melody, and rhythm, showcasing visionary producers who push the boundaries of sound design. The result is a high-fidelity sonic journey designed for inner exploration—a rewarding soundtrack for the mind's eye.

-My music is supposed to demonstrate that the bass has wider range of applications than is commonly believed
-I have a motor dysfunction; my music attempts to simulate what it would be like to function as if I don’t
-I jumble together many genres, but “ambient” seems to stick out
-I'm an ocean scientist so geoscience sometimes seeps into the themes I write songs about
