Favorite Quote: Be genuinely nice to everyone always, you never know what the universe might have in store for you. Don't take anything for granted.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Don't stick to one genre, practice your craft as much as possible, learn the background of your scene and where does the music that you play come from. Get involved in your scene and try to support it as much as you can, you have a responsibility as a member of that community.

Daisychain 289 - Paurro

Baltimore’s Kir (@itiskir) and recent Daisychainer (#292) guests on this month's installation of the Daisychain residency for Refuge Worldwide, playing some of their favorite minimal, electro, and shuffly cuts alongside original productions. It's a dream cloud floating through the textures both smooth and softly gritty. This special edition is the first of the residency performed live from Refuge Worldwide HQ at Oona Bar in Neukölln📡🌐🌼

A raver first and born by the California beachside, Kir began making music at a young age; first pop, and eventually, electronic, all inspired by the ocean. After relocating to Arizona for high school, where they witnessed their first desert raves and were introduced to genres like hardstyle and happy hardcore, their eyes turned to underground production styles and DJing. It wasn’t until they moved to Chicago to study music that they began collecting records and investing in gear, and it was truly post-pandemic that Kir had the opportunity to first share their original, tropical-inspired music with the world. Their hardware sets contain compositions performed live on two vintage Korg Electribes (MX), energetically mixing techno with their gritty, old-school, breaks-centric rave productions in a fashion similar to DJing. With a deep love for shuffled beats and syncopated rhythms, Kir’s DJ sets span a similar range, and explore the bounds of minimal, UKG, electro, breakbeat techno, and drum & bass.

Refuge Worldwide is a Berlin-based independent, community radio station working in solidarity with grassroots and non-profit organizations.

Firmly rooted in his home adopted home Cologne, low Ki operates as a DJ, radio host and master of tea ceremonies. His music collection comprises everything between obscure club tunes and cheesy bar sound, half and double time, sherical meditation and percussive energy. 

Ada Luvv is co-founder of the event series Not So Easy, part of the music label 76666 and recently joined the Cologne-based Crew Illusion. As a DJ, she curates a wide range of styles and tempos, leading to a highly diverse but consistent sound. Having a strong affection for both experimental and classic club sounds, striking a balance between those worlds marks her approach to DJing.

In this episode of SMS, I had the pleasure of hosting the British producer/DJ “Minor Science” (The Trilogy Tapes/ Whities/ AD 93/ Balmat). I highlighted my favorite productions of his, followed by an interview with questions I've always wanted to ask him. The zenith arrives in the final segment with an exclusive music mix curated by the man himself.

Thanks @minor-science for coming to SMS 🖤

@elmosquetero nos ha dedicado nuestra cuarta publicación con una sesión que comienza con ritmos eclécticos, downtempo, hasta ritmos más club con rasgos de Indie Dance, rock y disco. Con producciones de Youkounkoun, Leonor, Mr BC, Arabian Panther, Mijo, Theus Mago o Iñigo Vontier, entre otros.  

"Traté de seguir un hilo conductor de principio a fin sin ser monótono. Mi objetivo era jugar con los contrastes: alternar lo dulce con lo mas duro. Podría decir que este set es ecléctico, mitad espontáneo y preparado que trata de borrar las barreras, y fronteras, esquemas pre establecidos o definidos." 

Diego Mouchet es un DJ, guitarrista y cantante, franco-boliviano amante de todo tipo de música electrónica. Vivió en La Paz, Toulouse, México D.F, Buenos Aires y Lyon antes de llegar Paris. Forma parte del sello alemán HEARec, como Director Artístico, y ha estado organizando y tocando en eventos de Francia y Bélgica durante todo 2019 y principios de 2020.

This super mix comes with productions by Youkounkoun, Leonor, Mr BC, Arabian Panther, Mijo, Theus Mago or Iñigo Vontier, among others.  

"I tried to follow a common thread from beginning to end without being monotonous. My aim was to play with contrasts: to alternate the sweet with the harder. I could say that this set is eclectic, half spontaneous and half prepared, trying to erase barriers, and borders, pre-established or defined schemes".

Hoy tenemos la suerte de lanzar una nueva sesión de una figura de referencia en la escena musical madrileña, y que ha sido, y es, un icono para nosotros. @alvarocabana nos graba esta sesión de influencias y selecciones, repleta de sonidos alternativos y experimentales con carácter noventero. Electrónica, post rock, neofolk , psicodelia entre otros.

Para quien no lo conozca, Álvaro es uno de los perfiles más importantes en el clubbing madrileño, con residencias en clubes como Coppelia, Rubble! o Mondo Disko. Sin aferrarse a un único género musical, en sus sets, llenos de energía heredada del House y el Techno, podemos encontrar influencias New Wave, EBM, sonidos exóticos del mundo, el lado más ‘Leftfield’ de la música disco, o reminiscencias post punk, todo ello aderezado con altas dosis de psicodelia, ritmos a baja combustión y siempre jugando con el factor sorpresa en la pista de baile consiguiendo lo que no todos consiguen, que tanto fanáticos como neófitos terminen disfrutando de su discurso musical.

Es también el dueño del conocido sello Rotten City Records, en el que acaba de publicar EP uno de los Honest Allies, Lebollet, así como figuras del clubbin tan importantes como Bawrut, Vox Low, Daniel Kyo, Roe Deers, Damon Jee, Cannibal Ink, Dj Rocca, y un sinfín de artistas nacionales e internacionales. 
Como productor, Álvaro siempre ha mostrado su gusto por la colaboración con diferentes artistas. Con Marcos In Dub formó el dúo Los López en 2012, lanzando algunos temas originales y remixes en sellos como Days Of Being Wild, Nein y Blindetonation.
En 2017 se embarca en una nueva aventura formando la banda D.Y.O.R. (junto con Ruben Kielmansegge y Christian C), actualmente es miembro de otro proyecto junto con el reconocido productor y DJ francés Damon Jee, uniendo fuerzas para crear Holographic Planes, un proyecto con el cual han remezclado a Vox Low y Cabaret Nocturne además de lanzar un EP en Critical Monday (remezclado por Jennifer Cardini) y otro tema original en 12" en el sello de Curses, Ombra International.

Today we are lucky enough to launch a new session by a leading figure in the Madrid music scene, who has been, and still is, an icon for us. Alvaro Cabana records this session of influences and selections, full of alternative and experimental sounds with a 90's character. Electronic, post rock, neofolk, psychedelia among others.

For those who don't know him, Álvaro is one of the most important figures in Madrid clubbing, with residencies in clubs like Coppelia, Rubble! or Mondo Disko. Without sticking in a single musical genre, in his sets, full of energy inherited from House and Techno, we can find New Wave influences, EBM, exotic sounds of the world, the more 'Leftfield' side of disco, or post punk reminiscences, everything seasoned with high doses of psychedelia, low combustion rhythms.

He is also the owner of the well-known label Rotten City Records, on which one of the Honest Allies, Lebollet, has just released an EP, as well as clubbin figures as important as Bawrut, Vox Low, Daniel Kyo, Roe Deers, Damon Jee, Cannibal Ink, Dj Rocca, and an endless number of national and international artists.
As a producer, Álvaro has always liked collaborating with different artists. He formed the duo Los López with Marcos In Dub in 2012, releasing some original tracks and remixes on labels such as Days Of Being Wild, Nein and Blindetonation.
In 2017 he embarks on a new adventure, forming the band D.Y.O.R. (together with Ruben Kielmansegge and Christian C). He is also member of the project Holographic Planes, alognside Damon Jee, with which they have remixed Vox Low and Cabaret Nocturne as well as releasing an EP on Critical Monday (remixed by Jennifer Cardini) and another original track on 12" on Curses' label, Ombra International.
