Across two sides of extended sonic exploration and meditation, experimental dub techno duo Dialog present their first officially released live recording. From an initial run of curious studio link-ups Samuel van Dijk (VC-118A) and Rasmus Hedlund have grown their project into a many-sided expression of what dubwise electronic music can mean in the modern era.

Alongside their debut album on Astral Industries and an on-going 12" series with Jamaican vocalists Benji and Josei, Dialog have been performing live to continue shaping out their ideas, whether indulging in a roots-spirited strain of soundsystem immersion or heading into more abstract, refracted soundscapes.

On this live recording, we're transported to the intimate, acclaimed festival Pe:rsona, which took place in France in 2024. As an environment for discerning listeners, the scene was set for Dialog to take their sound as deep as possible. The lines blur between mechanical rhythmic impulses and organic tones and textures—malleable metallic and elemental forms passing through chasms of processing and shrouded in womb-like melancholic hum. There's a sense of dub techno's eternal atmosphere flickering at the heart of the sound, but Dialog take this pervasive mood into forward...  more

Coming up from the basement this week, a timeless music connoisseur, Kenya Bahana Sastropawiro, affectionately known as Kenya. Immersed in rhythmic instruments from an early age, she comes from a "grass-rooted" musical family. Joining the legendary Yogyakarta based collective, Energyroom, in the early 2018. The exploration of different dance floors since her childhood has honed her intuition and allowed her to create a diverse palette of personal grooves.

Her musical selections had a variety of styles, from every revolution with a slightly different rhythm to a powerful wide frequency range rhythmic beats, and pulsating bass lines to delicate melodic tones, where it could shake the ground with sub sonic frequencies while also representing the fragile side to it. 

The mix she crafted is a complete sensory experience, flowing in to the glitchy textures of sound and present a dynamic narrative. Through her exploration experimental techniques, her mix is blend deeply into genre fusion, pushing the boundaries to deliver a frankly temperamental and engaging emotional depth experience. It was her pure instinctive expression.
