I wanted to create something that had a vibrant, summery yet dope feeling and it just so turned out id been subconsciously collecting the right tunes to make that happen.

My first rave experiences were to the sounds of Drum n’ Bass and although I’ve strayed from the genre and now love and play other stuff, I think my non 4/4 roots come through in most things that I do. I like the versatility and experimentation of a breakbeat and feel it leaves more room to play - both behind and in front of the DJ booth.

I co-founded two projects here in Berlin, Double Trouble and FACILITATE. For Double Trouble, we do two versions of the night, one being focussed on the art of _baerchenwurst_, displayed on a backdrop of ambient music at our cute hangout spot Kwia and the other is pure party at Zur Klappe. We focus on bass music and are FLINTA so that plays a big role in the curation. I run the night together with DJ Doc and we started in December 2022. 

FACILITATE. I run together with DJ NORTHERN and we are a FLINTA Drum n’ Bass event which we started in November 2023. Both events were started to create more space for FLINTA DJ’s in the Berlin bass music scene, to make more space for bass loving queers on the dance floor and also just because we love it!

Im gonna big up Zur Klappe here <3 Not only cos its our home but also as they’re giving space to lots of up and coming collectives in Berlin where it can be very competitive and extremely tough to find a venue for your function. They’re also a pleasure to work with from start to finish!

kinetic mix 031: Dj Flounce "balmy"

We’re really committing to the label thing now (it’s really hard) and are pleased as a possum to present a 6 track release from London-based artist jung latch 

Following on from the pensive ambience of his last release, jung latch’s upcoming ‘len sen’ EP marks a foray into dystopic club territory heightened a sense of controlled chaos. Hypnogogic textures clash with mechanical hellscapes to sonify a technodysphoric wasteland of lost futures invoking an anime Mark Fisher. The sterile posthuman scenery of Batman Beyond, Akira and The Animatrix all serve as an inspiration in creating an atmospheric sense of unease. .

« I envisioned this mix as an ode to a wild summer in nostalgic house form. Full of groove-oriented 90s and early 00s cuts where infectious rhythms come together with bouncy basslines to channel the euphoric release of the dance. As the weather cools down and the days get shorter, blast this one and envision yourself on a beach somewhere at sunset, surrounded by your favorite people, without a care in the world… »

episode II ~ w/  Monkey Rob

@priebe

For more than a decade, Philipp Priebe has been releasing an emotional take on house music that melds melancholic warm sounds with driving elements. It's a style that dates back to his teenage years, when he began collecting records in a small town in Germany. Since 2020, his music has landed on Stellar, his own label, and that includes Movements In An Empty Department Store, his latest album that compromises eight original compositions soundtracking one night  alone in an empty department store with deeply driving, sensitive dance music that strongly tempts you to fall in love on the dance floor.

Philipp Priebe @ coppi 07.03.24

This mix is a deeply personal musical essay—a tribute to the lovers, the dreamers, the heartbroken, and the caretakers. It’s a collection of tracks that have carried me through waves of confusion and chaos, wrapping me in comfort, confidence, and strength—both in the past and present—and perhaps it will do the same for others in the future. I hope this mix can become an emotional blanket for anyone seeking solace. Love is the only thought and pain the only feeling. ♡
