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".

@panka-panka-music son un dúo formado por Xarly (Gameboyz, Melómana Records) y Miguel Blanco (Zircusroom), y nos han preparado un viaje donde el downtempo se fusiona con lo experimental, con el ácido, con lo instrumental y lo vocal. Las líneas de género, estilo o dirección, quedan desdibujadas a favor un ritmo lento y espacial.
