Clear as spring water, the memory of Shoal's beautiful live set echoing through the Norwegian mountains, finally sharing the stage together at Monument (@monument-podcast) after meeting in Amsterdam several years ago. Those familiar with our dear friends at Harmony Rec (@harmony-rec) will be undoubtedly familiar with Kenny's impeccable body of work, and for the rest an eye-opening treat awaits. Here, Kenny gathers highlights from his recent live sets and newly recorded material, arranged and refined into a perfect contemplation of the crisp arboreal air, a vivid composition of body and sound entwined tightly beneath the earth. Thanks Kenny!

Sure Thing Mix 120: Shoal

Dorisburg & Shoal live set recorded on Saturday, 10th August 2024 at Paral·lel Festival in Port del Comte, Spain.

Dorisburg & Shoal Live @ Paral·lel 2024

A lesson in rhythm from a former De School resident.

When it comes to minimalist dance music, Ruben Üvez, AKA Konduku, is one of the best in the game right now. With a masterful and ever-shapeshifting understanding of rhythm, the Berlin-based artist crafts sublime dance music with a staunchly leftfield bent. Don't just take our word for it: how many DJs, after all, can claim to have moved De School to a puddle of tears?

Musically, Üvez is hard to pin down. He's often billed as a techno artist, but actually you'll find his sound sits outside of the genre's many conventions. With an outsider's curiosity, he leans into diverse moods, tempos and genres, though one throughline is always how he arranges his drums. Whether it be deep, Nobu-core techno such as 2023's Hayal EP or UK beat science á la Peverelist on 2019's  Gegek, he leads with rhythm across his DJing and production. The end product is a hypnotic, one-of-a-kind sound that hits the body before the brain has time to catch up. In short, it slaps.

As Üvez's RA Podcast demonstrates, he's got a serious knack for crafting and selecting tunes that can  deeply captivate a dance floor. Clocking in at just over 90 minutes, RA.967 is an excursion through a timeless sound, packed with long, layered blends, flick-of-the-wrist transitions, locked grooves and spine-tingling atmospherics. In 2020, we called Ruben Üvez one of techno's brightest new talents. This mix sees him ascending to a seat at the top table.

GROOVE Podcast 463 – Marco Shuttle

The eleventh. This week we're very excited to welcome Hong Kong native Xiaolin to the podcast. A DJ, producer, and classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Xiaolin has crafted a genre-bending, 2 hour listening journey through a myriad of textures, both deep and dark, showcasing a distinctive selection of tracks from friends and producers based in Asia. The viscous atmospheres, built and crafted bar by bar from the first moments of the mix, are so visceral that one feels they could almost reach out and touch them. The lights dim as we sink to greater and greater depths.

The second half of the mix opens up and capitalises on these elements, newly found sonic spaces filled with an ever changing flow of percussive patterns, a surprise around every corner. The lights flicker. Something has changed. We've been gently guided into new aural territory, perhaps without even realising it. 

Closing out the mix, we're propelled skyward from the depths, towards the light, into a shimmering, dreamlike soundscape. Only at the very last moment do our feet lightly make contact with the earth again as Xiaolin masterfully brings this voyage to a close.

Sit down, get comfortable, and float away.
