Karma Podcast Episodes

Music selection by @flipppp from Berlin.

Message from author:

"I first started collecting in downtempo music until I discovered minimal house. I think music is always a journey, that's why I play this more sensual style under this alias. With the FLiP N' SKiP (@flipnskip) project we are 3 guys we used to live together and share the same taste of music. With this alias we play more a bouncy kind of style to make you really wiggle, but all is about groove and the love for mixing"

This mix is full of groovy ghetto house and blip minimal, a (dancing) part of material i’ve been digging and playing for the last 6 month. So it was really nice and exciting to record it, especially during the lockdown, because all the clubs here in Hanoi are being closed for quite long time.

Maneki Neko is a young artist from Belarus. With her roots and beginnings sprung in the Minsk scene she’s the resident of сфера (sphera), a project focused on a multi faceted approach of curating diverse headliners in unusual locations, creating great events with a small but sound crew of Belarusian creatives which took over the local underground scene. It inflamed the passion to electronic music in her, and becoming a DJ was just a next step. With this steam, she has since left Belarus for Asia, where she’s been dropping her signature minimalistic sound from the islands of Phu Quoc, Vietnam to the cities in the north, and in China. After a short time based in Hanoi, she’s laid sets at the city’s finest clubs.

От автора:

    "Меня зовут Илья, но чаще меня знают под ником BART. Мне 23 года. Я совсем недавно начал заниматься музыкой, но мои музыкальные компиляции уже прозвучали на радио в Берлине, Аргентине и Америке. Места, где я играю, это в основном минские арт-площадки, инициации молодых художников в новое неограниченное стереотипами и убеждениями мировоззрение. Мой посыл - это любовь к музыке и желание делиться ею. В своём миксе я представляю тщательно подобранные нотки румынского минимала, который поменяет ваше сознание и заставит погрузиться в эту феноменальную музыкальную атмосферу."

Also Thomas Carmody is my old friend, he's presenting a mix in minimal, house and his favourite dub. Groovy, minimalistic, intelligent electronic music.

Introducing the longest Karma Podcast episode at this moment. 2,5 hrs of dark minimal by Ukrainian producer and DJ - @Melihron. The episode is made of bit and groove, minimal techno, deep atmospheres of drone ambient, large amount of experimental sound designs and field recordings (records of environments). The mix is creating the feeling of listening to the whole pulsed organic structure, which brings the listener to some kind of trance and hypnosys.

Перед вами самый продолжительный на данный момент выпуск Karma Podcast. Два с половиной часа выдержанного dark minimal от продюсера и диджея из Украины - @Melihron. В основе подкаста бит и грув, минимал-техно, глубокие атмосферы drone ambient, множество элемeнтов экспериментального саунд дизайна и field recording (фрагменты записей окружающей среды). Микс создает ощущение прослушивания цельной пульсирующей органической структуры,  цель которой увести в некое подобие транса, гипноза
_______________

От автора:

"Это танцевальная форма гипнотической музыки для погружения слушателя-танцора в особое состояние сознания, в котором активный танец сосуществует с активным мысленным процессом, связанным с постоянной попыткой мозга декодировать послание, навеянное контекстом используемых семплов, обрывков фраз. Состояние, когда восприятие не может зафиксировать своё внимание на постоянно меняющихся паттернах одного и того же.

Появлению материала для данного подкаста я обязан многочисленным новым и старым друзьям из тусовки минимал-техно именно данного темного ответвления. Со многими я познакомился в этом году благодаря социальным сетям. Также в подкасте есть трэки со сборников VA в, которых мне посчастливилось выпустить свои работы. Таким образом перед вами запись из тщательно отобранного мною актуального материала, написаного близкими по духу мне людьми и сведёнными мной в одну историю о каждом из нас"

About the author:
@semyon is a DJ, the Void Radio and Podcast (@thevoidradio) creator, digger. 
Originally from Moscow he is now living in Amsterdam. 

Author's message:
"Music is in my life all the time; a different times – different music. Recently I mostly involved with the minimal scene and all its subgenres. I like the intricacy, the ability to catch your attention for a 10-minute journey, and then another one, and another one...
As any other person I spend most of my time sleeping, then goes the Soundcloud surfing — a constant search for something new and interesting.
I am convinced in the idea that the release date has nothing to do with the music sophisticatedness. There is a plenty of a very good music been released 5-10 years ago, as well as recently. And that is exactly the reason why in this mix you'll find the tracks from a very different epochs.
Now let's focus on the music. I hope you'll like it."

Charley Vince @charley-vince is a musician, producer, promoter and DJ from Minsk, based in Poland. Co-founder of KIMATIKA promo group @kimatika-waves
He has background playing traditional music instruments such as piano and guitar, also producing his own music in minimal and ambient genres. 

This mix is representing hard contrast between dance and chill electronic music.

Author's message:

"Sometimes it is so difficult to understand and feel yourself. And every time I start a new mix I do that very thing – listen to myself.

Welcoming e-music lovers with dark hints of drone and developing into intelligent rominimal at the end, this mix balances on the edge,  playing primarily with the attention and concentration of the listener rather than with stereo.

From start to finish it challenges you: Try to solve me!
In fact, it is the opposite: the mix is just a mirror, unique and peculiar, with its own filters, waves and mood; and yet everyone can see something in it, and ask a question themselves: What is it all about? As always, the answer is plain and simple – Ambient."

От автора:  "Работа над миксом началась довольно давно. Сам микс - сочетание разных стилей: от хауса и минимала до эйсида, ломанных битов и легкого трансового техно. Это утренний микс, хорошо зайдет на утреннике после основной вечеринки. 
Обложка была сделана в Берлине, на ней молодая актриса из Киева"

The first episode in 2023 is recorded by Chevi. I personally like the style and vibe of his tracks which are groovy, energy and kind of hypnotic.

A selection of dark and light smooth sounds together with groovy-driving bass lines to bring you into a very delightful trip. Mix contains own production track!

Lancov (Baranovichi, BY) начал увлекаться электронной музыкой в 2007, благодаря ребятам из своего города. Все начиналось с electro и progressive house. Переломным моментом в направлении музыки стало прослушивание работ Richie Hawtin, после которого появился интерес к техно и минимал. Затем последовал rominimal, dark minimal. Сейчас вдохновляют такие музыканты как Altarf, Denis Andreev, Mihigh, Vadim Oslov, Vedran Komm.
В данном миксе для Karma Podcast - выдерживалась темная сторона минимал музыки.

Karma Podcast 32 with CK. This guy is owner of DEEP MVMT podcast and has huge music background.

During his youth he listened to mostly classic Hip-Hop (1997 - 2002), afterwards began to frequent the Romanian Space Club & UK Fabric. The major call for electronic music in terms of DJing and Production came at the age of 30, in 2012 when he first attended a DJing course followed by a Production one at Subbass DJ Academy in London. One year later, CK won 3 DJ competitions in a row: EDC London, Movida Corona UK & Amnesia Ibiza DJ Challenge and also had his first EP released - Back from SubBass. He release music on various labels, including Wiggle & Be Color and also owns a podcast platform called DEEP MVMT.

"Everyone got it’s own way of doing, saying or playing things; I’ve got mine. What I choose is what I play; And the way I choose music is pretty simple: When I go through selections, releases and playlists, I hear the right beat, mood or track, and something lights up in me - That’s the moment when I know I’ve found a tune I cannot live without. I breath through music since I was 10, became a fan of electronic music when I was 20 and got into DJ’ing and music production at 30. Even though I tried to quit or believed I will quit at some point, I couldn’t - I can’t stay away from these beats."
