Tedium is modernity in the waiting phase. A longed-for moment of stasis.
A compilation of 23 tracks that shows us a rather wide spectrum including diverse manifestations of modern electronics. Boredom and neurosis that hold hands and become a chameleon-like whole.

Sometimes this combination draws its essence from obscure ambient demotivating, other times steals the body of enormous noisy and granular flows.

An emblematic sound vessel capable of containing everything from the sharpest electro-acoustic resonances to the most deformed deteriorations of hip hop imagery.

Tedium

Amniotic Fluid

un_p - Amniotic Fluid

Known for their boundary pushing, often challenging electronic productions, and pioneering experiential live performances, the duo of Sheffield's Mark Fell and Mat Steel deviated from their city's tradition for more straightforward bleep and techno offshoots to create sparse, minimal and repetitive competitions that favour gentle insistence over high impact.

_"we focus on leaving the audience feeling cold, not just a lack of interest in trying to engage anyone, but more like deliberately avoiding this... no dynamic changes in beats or nodding heads behind powerbooks, just large, awkward, immobile slabs of form. Imagine a Zen Buddhist with unresolved emotional issues. For me, thats how this particular "vibe" relates to minimal or formal aesthetics."_ - Mark Fell

This episode of Kudos to Living Artists is a deep dive into the work of Chris Douglas. 
Selected and mixed by SDEM
--------
Chris Douglas – aka OST, Dalglish, Aclds, Rook, Seaes, Amhain.. one of the most enigmatic and emotionally arresting producer/composers working today, Brought up in San Francisco, Douglas came of age during the early days of rave, organising underground parties that helped shape the Bay Area’s burgeoning electronic music scene. In ’92 he moved to Detroit, where he made formative musical and ethical connections with Mike Banks and James Stinson.  Since relocating to Berlin in 2003, Douglas has immersed himself in his work, creating and releasing a massive body of uncompromising, reality-bending tracks that collapse the lines between rhythm and abstraction, pushing listeners into strange and often beautiful new territories... This mix celebrates Douglas as a vital presence, exploring the possibilities of electronic music as a deeply personal & transformative force. 
--------
SDEM: aka tom knapp – Born in Hull, north east England,, a painter turned Dj / Producer, working in electronic audio since the late 90s. As well as playing live and making releases for SKAM, Seagrave, Opal Tapes, CPU etc, Tom worked for meds and icasea, labels that  both released work by Chris. This mix is a personal listening selection, tracing deep cuts across a range of zones and aliases…

Alpha State with Keith Fullerton Whitman @ The Lot Radio 09-08-2025

Third artist to grace us in this Clone-curated month of October, The Hague’s one-and-only analogue wizard Legowelt surfaces with a mix sprawling from esoteric proto-techno to hallucinogenic electro, via trance-infused dreamscapes, eerie pop and mystique-imbued downtempo. As the true master of the synths he is, Legowelt has us traveling far and deep into a layered multiverse of dazzling hardware stutter and iridescent machine funk out a frizzling, VHS-supported headspace. Effusively vivid and durably haunting 8-bit-informed tapestries succeed through this glitchy maze of fractured tempi and vectorial stunts, cascading seamlessly as Legowelt pulls off yet another magnetic expression of retro-laced granularity and enhanced organic synthesis. Mythical.
