crabhands - Part 1

Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU (@kamarujoseph), is a sound artist and experimental ambient musician, raised in Nairobi, Kenya, and currently based in Berlin. Recent years have seen KMRU find a place amongst the most stirring voices within the experimental music space, courtesy of his distinctive usage and combination of field recordings, noise, ambient textures and expansive hypnotic drones. 
A luminous presence within the scene, KMRU has garnered critical acclaim not only for releases on the likes of @warp-records, @editionsmego and @subtext-recordings, but also for his live performances, which have seen him take the stage at high-profile events across Europe and the globe.

KMRU’s Patterns of Perception 105 is a poised and evocative passage which floats gracefully between delicate instrumentation, melodic phrasing and abstract ambient textures. Sparked by recent inspirations and experiences, this indelible set embraces peace, stillness and vibrance in equal measure, coming together as a carefully divined tapestry - meditative and shimmering.

Patterns of Perception 105 - KMRU

Organic Analogue makes it to double figures with a sublime new split EP from HVL and Gacha Bakradze. The A-side is opened up with 'Infinitesimal', a stripped back and icy bit of minimal dub techno, then 'AgneffC01' gets more rhythmically physical with scattered beats and hits and 'Collective Genius' is tense, kinetic techno with a real sense of paranoia. 'Routes' is the first B-side joint with Gacha Bakradze bringing some direct but economical drum machine grooves under meticulous percussion and then 'Chain' layers smeared cosmic pads with twitchy details and 'Widow' ends with a heavy heart. No wonder, then, that a host of eminent DJs like Ben UFO are all over it.

Yum Yum Head Food was a legendary album that I made just to play for my friends when we all went back to mine - simply my very own chill out album at a time when I didn’t want to release chill out albums! This track has never been released before and comes directly from my House Of Love sessions when all we wanted to hear was blissed out tunes. You could say this track was therefore purposefully built for this Back To Mine album…
____

My edition of Back to Mine is available to pre-order on vinyl, CD and digital here: smarturl.it/BACKCD031

Over the years there's been so much action back at mine... friends, lovers and lunatics would congregate after the clubs had closed to laugh, swap ideas and tunes and generally put the world to rights… this is a collection from the soundtrack of those sessions.

If you're in Brighton and you order the Vinyl or CD from Bandcamp on the link above… there’s a chance I’ll deliver the album to you personally 👀
