New York-based label Kindergarten Records is thrilled to unveil Ayesha’s (@aye5ha) debut album, ‘Rhythm is Memory’ – 10 boundary-pushing tracks, a shape-shifting percussive journey with electric moments.

For his two-hour set at Lost Music Festival 2023, DJ Python kept the mood steamy and the energy high throughout. 

Showcasing the Brooklyn-based artist’s playful approach, the mix journeys through slinking R&B and dub into more frenetic, percussive club cuts along with a particular standout – and warranted wheel-up of – an Andrea Bocelli baile funk blend and a Blu Cantrell edit. Exactly the kind of heat we need right now.

BREAKA + MIXTRESS 23.1.24

"It’s so much harder to breathe here. Even with your helmet on, each breath you draw is deep and labored, barely filling your lungs with enough oxygen. Your eyes go fuzzy, but you keep going. It’s just a few more steps until you can breathe normally again. You push the saloon doors open. You take off your suit helmet and make a promise to yourself that it was the last time you’d let yourself stay that long on the outside again. You wonder how many times you’ve told yourself that same thing. Some day you won’t make it back in. But today isn’t that day. Feels good to be able to breathe again. You need a drink. 

There’s no one tending bar. One guy’s sleeping in a booth, drink half finished, couple empty pint glasses beside him. You ding the bell and wait a minute, but no one comes to help you out. Some shithole you’ve found yourself in. You hop the bar and take a glass off the shelf. Not like anyone’s gonna stop you. You pour yourself some of whatever’s on tap. Looks cloudy, but still green. Tastes okay. You look around at the weird old junk in here. It’s mostly Wild West paraphernalia from Earth. Kitschy, kind of charming though. Feels a bit passé. There’s a warped pool table and sitting behind it is a jukebox and you make your way over. It’s covered in dust. You wonder when the last time someone touched this thing was. You turn it on, and a message comes on the screen which reads: “Do you wanna dance?” 

Well — Do you?"

Our next mixtape comes courtesy of Puglia born London based Niche founder, 	𝐈𝐤ä𝐯ä 𝐏𝐢𝐢.

A high energy hour of weird swampy sounds, eery melodies & intricate detail, put together with so much love and care it feels like one full track. 

Sometimes you listen to a mix & it feels like a true expression of someones personality, and that’s how we feel with this one. Thank you so much Giacomo <3

Weirdness and detail. This is all I want as a listener and a dancer, and what I want to convey as Ikävä Pii. In this mix I’ve explored slowfast ambiguity, music for ponds and futuristic punk, pairing Italian Sunitty with warped UK techno, with a couple of WTF turns.

For the most part, it is extremely detailed music. It’s abstract and rich. I don’t like the definition of “sound design” anymore: it sounds “functional”, as if the goal was creating a product. These producers are (like me), instead, trying to spawn detailed worlds.

I’ve started making music with a punk band in Puglia. I picked up a guitar because my father and all his brothers played. Family gatherings were beautifully loud. Puglia was still a poor and tough place when I was a kid, so my love for international music was a form of escapism. I was (like many others) online a lot and in touch with musicians from all over the world. I started dreaming of London listening to The Clash at maybe 12yo? London has truly shaped me, I was radicalised here. Politically and artistically. And here’s where I embraced my queerness.

I think, in many instances, it was here that I was exposed to some really fringe stuff, and that’s how I realised I loved everything that was genuinely weird or boundaries-pushing. Furthermore, I believe that Hackney Wick makes my life as an artist easier. Cheap rent, community and proximity: it’s a 5 mins walk from the warehouse to the studio and the venue, and sometimes special things only happen thanks to the support of other locals. You know who you are! <3

Niche started in April 2023 as a monthly sonic hangout; noisy jams, open decks, and improvised sets. Now it’s a full-scale event, with performances by some of the best artists we know. It started out of necessity: an accessible space to experiment with fellow noisemakers. 
My relationship with the venue was crucial; I’ve been a resident at The Bath House for 2 years now, and Niche can only happen because my studio is there.

It is a lovely ecosystem of musicians, DJs, listeners and dwellers. We are trying to bridge the gap between the bedroom and the venue, offering a space for people to try new things out and take risks, playing for the most understanding audience. In terms of curation, I am looking for the most daring acts out there - no genre limitations, but definitely priority to live shows, and musicians in particular. 
Alongside artists I know and/or follow, we met incredibly talented people through the open calls, or other nice folks who just jumped on the groupchat and asked to play! Keeping it as open and diverse as possible is at the core of our practice. We only have one resident at the moment - the amazing Queenie.
