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.

"Through the creation of this mix, I believe I was able to clarify the general framework of the direction I had been thinking about for several years. And I expressed it in a form that I am able to do now.

This “concern about my direction” was also linked to my life and work. And I believe that the expressive activity of DJing is a mirror of my life.

I am grateful for dance music and its culture, which always gives me important insights, and I feel the joy of being in touch with it.

I would like to thank MANTISSA for giving me this precious opportunity, Robin for giving me the chance, and my friends for always supporting me. 

Please take a listen!

Special Thanks

Panne Sonore (Slowed & Reverbed) (Mastered 2025)

"I think, fairly obviously, when you try to think about musical influence, you try to throw your mind back to the earliest music you can remember listening to - and for me, I grew up listening to a lot of blues and jazz at home - records played firstly by my Dad and then later my older brother. Whilst I wasn’t conscious of it for a long time in my teenage years, that influence has definitely resonated in small ways in the way I appreciate music - and the way I DJ - today: from jazz, a willingness to abandon or challenge convention; and a love of the grit of the blues."

We catch up with @milluu, Melbourne DJ and selector of all things eclectic; think left-field electronics, ambient, psychedelia, kraut and beyond. With regular slots on Triple R and Skylab Radio, and having played the likes of Inner Varnika, Golden Plains, Strawberry Fields, Hopkins Creek and Club D’erange, she has quickly become renowned for her unique sound and ability to work any dance floor with her deep cache of esoteric gems.

H&S Mix 014: Millú

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 👀
