Music to get lost in from London’s Untitled 909 founder

"Music either helps with balancing my emotions or heightening them – soundtracking times of purge (that would now often be through recording a mix) or times of going inwards and figuring out or processing my feelings"

Aeyde Radio Mix 09 is broadcasting now, curated by series guest editor Whitney Wei.
This season’s contribution comes from KMRU, the Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist whose work is founded on intent listening. Years of attuning to the sonic layers of global landscapes have shaped his ability to construct unexpected and immersive sound environments. These have found a home in institutions and showcases such as the Barbican, Atonal, CTM, and Dekmantel.

Whenever KMRU listens to a city, he often thinks of its key note, or the prevailing tone. In Berlin, it's mostly the transportation noises. He approached his entry into the Aeyde Radio repertoire much in the same way. The track "9°C" by Whatever the Weather, the pseudonym of fellow field recording artist and friend Loraine James, sets the "old IDM vibe." Its wealth of glitches and texture draws open the curtains on the mix before voyaging into an hour of softly drifting, expansive atmospherics.

The third episode in our new series (and our 40th podcast!) comes from Lyon based Comic Sans Records label-head and lyl radio resident, sleek fata. 

@sleek-fata

We've been a fan of sleek fata for a while now, often tuning into his exquisitely put together "Cremation of Care" shows - which explore a wide spectrum of experimental music focused on tracks with an high sound design profile going from psychedelic electronics to jazz with a touch of punk and trip hop between.

This mix beautifully showcases the variety of his tastes and skills of mixing it all together, from dub to dubstep, techno to half time & masterfully jumping tempo’s - sleek fata’s got it covered.

I wanted to build a thematic journey that could bring together different types of music and tempos, while still feeling coherent as a whole. I found a strong inspiration in the icy textures of dub techno, it sparked the whole idea. So this is essentially a cold journey through the dub techno continuum (dub techno in the broad sense): half-time, dubstep, dub techno, footwork, downtempo… each track shares a similar colour palette, sonically speaking. Think light blue, white, and grey tones. I imagined a dancer trapped in a cold room with a perfect sound system, moving and reacting to these glacial sounds. But "glacial" doesn’t mean emotionless—on the contrary. Despite the chill, there's a lot of soul embedded in each track.

I grew up listening to rap while living in the suburbs of Lyon as a kid. Later, when I moved into the city centre for university, I discovered electronic music. So yes, my environment has always shaped my musical taste—just like it does for everyone, I believe. Our preferences are influenced by sociological data: age, ethnicity, the country we grow up in, our parents' professions, and so on.

But beyond that, my uncle, who I lived with when I was younger, had a big impact. During the peak of the Emule era, he downloaded every US rap album he could find and burned them onto blank CDs. When I came home from school, I would pick one at random and discover a new album every day. That routine really shaped my digging habit. These days, the Bandcamp community is a big influence for me.

I’m working on Vision Pro Dubs, a various artists project that started as a special episode of my Cremation of Care radio show. It brings together contemporary and cutting-edge smooth dub sounds. Besides that, Malesa is working on their second album, and we’re putting together a remix EP of Seta Loto’s last release. I’m also collaborating with Cortex of Light on something exciting!

kinetic mix 040: sleek fata "the cold room dancer and other frozen tales"

“this mix is about friction and flow—the way things can grate and soothe at the same time. i wanted to explore tension without necessarily offering a resolution. there’s a subtle narrative running through it, more like a shifting dream you move through rather than a straightforward story. it also reflects a place i’m in right now: caught in between, questioning a lot.”

PREMIERE - Insula - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Wrapping up the final hour from the Berlin studio with Elena Sizova on closing duty 👾

Elena Sizova [14.7.25]

This release is a journey, a weaving together of fleeting visions from parallel, yet intertwined sonic realms. It ventures boldly through a rich tapestry of sounds and textures, each track born not from rigid intention but from an unrelenting pursuit of the elusive, those shimmering, transient spaces in the soundscape, like the mysterious limbo of Vaalbara. The music unfolded live, forged in real-time with an arsenal of synthesizers. In these moments, delicate interactions gave way to sudden storms of chaotic experimentation, the machines pushed beyond their thresholds, revealing hidden voices at the edge of collapse. This album is more than a collection of tracks, it’s an open invitation. Step inside, and perhaps you’ll find yourself tapping into the same emotional landscapes that Ruben traversed while creating it: wonder, vulnerability, and the thrill of discovery in the unknown.

The theme of this mix is contrast, something that is present in many of my favorite places and artworks. The mix features a combination of glitch and jazz, two very disparate genres in many ways. I tried to accentuate the contrast between old and new, synthetic and organic, ambient and 4/4 throughout the mix while allowing the ideas to continuously flow together. The tracklist is emblematic of the collection I've acquired throughout my musical journey, and features many older songs from classic electronic artists I listened to a lot growing up such as Oval, Black Dog, Biosphere, Krudger & Dorfmeister, etc. I hope your listeners enjoy what I’ve put together.
