Live at FOLD for Unfold LXXIV (April 2024)

Faustin at SPIELRAUM - April 17th 2022

"Genre: Not Applicable" says one of Bogatá-born DJ and producer @bitterbabe's online bios, and she's not wrong. She mixes up and blends global club styles from Colombian guaracha to Venezuelan raptor house with high energy and rich percussion on labels like TraTraTrax and is a member of the ECO and Latitudes collectives. She is focussed on amplifying electronic artists and labels across Latin America while herself being on a near-constant tour of Europe's finest clubs. After a long time entrenched deep in the Miami scene, she recently made the move to Berlin. 

On this week's mix, Bitter Babe takes you on a wild ride through her unique rhythmic world. Everything she plays is defined by big drums, but how they fall and where they take you is always a thrill. You'll recognise hints of jungle, there are nods to techno and flashes of rave intensity but mostly these are contorted in between sounds that captivate mind and body with equal intensity.

Initially gaining notoriety in the vibrant NYC techno scene, Akua's one-of-kind, no-nonsense style brings a necessary & poignant intensity to today’s dancefloors, rejecting trends and embodying the essence of techno into an authentic wavelength that’s completely intuitive to her being. This all plays out on this week's Glitch podcast as the Berlin-based Ghanaian-American DJ rips through with her signature blend of techno, fused with a punk edge. Raw & gritty as always, her set pays homage to the pioneers who built the genre with grit and rebellion. It's @akua_dj in full fire-starter mode which you don't want to miss.

4 HOUR NENE MIX FOR YOUR MESSY NYE AFTER HOURS

Kaleidoscopic psychedelia from one of Australia's finest.

While it might feel early to call bets on DJs of the decade, Kia Sydney, best known as Kia, is undoubtedly one of them. The Animalia founder began in Naarm's (Melbourne) underground scene in the mid-2010s, crediting a trip to the influential deep techno Japanese festival, Labyrinth, as the inspiration behind her sound.

Deep techno might not cut it as a descriptor for Sydney's sound, though. Hypnotic ribbons of steely techno mix with atmospherics and nimble grooves, drawing from IDM, dub and tech house, sharing as much with DJ Nobu and Donato Dozzy (try to find the track that overlaps with Dozzy's own RA Podcast) as well as modern practitioners like Priori and Beatrice M.

This distinctly Australian scuttling psychedelia has made Kia one of the most sought-after underground DJs globally. Her brainchild, Animalia, showcases a plurality of sounds and scenes, serving as living proof of the fruitful shift of the 2020s: less serious, perhaps, but with a sense of open-minded worldliness that offers a far more promising vision of what dance music can be and achieve.

Sydney's rare talent lies in forging connections, bringing people, sounds and ideas together with a distinct playfulness. Her RA Podcast showcases this alchemy in abundance, weaving classics like Monolake and Enya with peers such as OK EG, Cousin and Command D.

As she told us in her 2023 Breaking Through profile, "people tell me I have quite a distinctive sound but I can't tell so much because I hear so many different versions of it." RA.973 serves as confirmation that Kia's style is, to say the least, the mark of a generational talent.

You asked for it, the speed up version of Dimensional Drift, the high-octane, accelerated evolution of my original trippy track. Warped frequencies, relentless rhythms, and an undercurrent of the unknown pull you deeper into the sonic abyss.

My very first release. After weeks of working, tweaking and late-night sessions, this track is finally ready to see the light of day. Still learning, still experimenting — but proud to share this first step. Thanks for listening, and let me know what you think.
