"Much like his productions, Eden’s DJ sets are reverent and wildly fun, the product of an innately curious talent."

Never a truer statement, in our opinion. Back in April the Aotearoa/New Zealand DJ and producer showed us just how utterly exciting, groovy and downright fun house music can be. Kudos Mr. Burns, kudos!

Recorded live from Club 77 22.04.22.

Club 77 Live: Eden Burns

Dutchman Kennedy (@kennedyams) is a mainstay of Amsterdam's underground. He's worked in record shops, hosted radio shows, thrown his own parties and played the city's best venues as well as further afield at places like About Blank, Tresor and Griessmuehle in Berlin. In the studio, he aims to translate his dreams into music using an array of machines. His grooves dance in the middle ground between soul, techno, house and jazz, with nods to the atmospheres of Detroit and the rhythms of Africa. He serves them up on his own Dream Machine Recordings and most recently collaborated with Amsterdam jazz veteran Han Litz on his latest 12". It brought a fresh dimension to his always cultured music and with this week's mix, he proves that as a DJ he is no less considered in what he does. 

It is a selection of serene hi-tech soul powered by dynamic drums and overlaid with lush chord work. There is plenty of rough-edged analog jack, wonky acid and deep and dusty techno in the first half before a party breaks out with loved-up disco. A slow descent into more dark and trippy sound worlds closes down a mix that has the haziness of a half-remembered dream you wish you could return to.

This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.

Yes yes! I'm back again. Sorry for taking so long. Life came in the way. This time, live from the Down The Rabbit Hole festival. We were sitting on a couch with some lovely festival-goers across from us who wanted to start their Sunday with beautiful songs. It was super fun to do this with my good friend Luc. Thank you, DTRH, for the invitation. The show is in Dutch since we were in the Netherlands, haha. xoxo
