One of the many reasons I continue to do this Ancient Puzzle Arts podcast is to develop artistic relationships with people I would like to get to know better. For this month, it's a pleasure to introduce to you Philadelphia's own Keen.

I have been familiar with Keen's work because of the excellently curated Subsurface parties in Philadelphia, which he does alongside John Raffaele. I was further impressed to see Philly talent make it onto Boiler Room in 2019. But the part that sealed the deal for me was having Max Sprauer, a regular APA contributor, recommend him and say "you got to check him out!" With all these factors, it made perfect sense to get Keen on for the podcast series.

To say Keen's mix is entirely "minimal" is not accurate. There is a minimal tech house sensibility that drives the momentum of this mix, but he definitely explores elements of deep house and electro. When you listen to this mix, be sure to listen on a system with good sub bass to notice the subtlety of frequencies he's working with, and in a traditional techno techno sense, notice how he plays with layers upon layers of blends seamlessly.

Summer has almost officially started here on the East Coast of the United States, and this is an excellent way to kick things off! Enjoy!

Ancient Puzzle Arts Podcast #12: Keen's Good Lookin' Out Selection

It’s Me’ is a reflection of freedom — a love letter to the island of Ibiza and the feeling of connection that lingers long after the night ends. Driven by a groovy, sun-soaked bassline, the track flows through waves of lush synths and playful ear candy, anchored by the warmth of a soulful saxophone. At its core is a voice — a fleeting phone message from someone hoping to see a familiar face again — drifting through the rhythm like a memory caught between day and night.

Colombian artist ADI delivers her debut album via Belgium’s Basic Moves this November, comprised of eight original compositions.

Hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, ADI has steadily developed a reputation as a driving force for raw, stripped-back electronic sounds on her home turf and across the globe. In 2018 ADI launched Automagically alongside partner Theories, a platform for music and art that has welcomed and collaborated with artists like Unai Trotti, Francesco Del Garda, Audio Werner and many more. Here we see ADI delivering her debut album via Belgium’s Basic Moves, a project that’s been two years in the making and was born out of a friendship between label boss Michiel Claus aka Walrus, the pair initially met while he was on tour in Colombia and again when ADI toured Europe, the pair have been developing this album ever since.

Across the eight track collection, which will come as a 2x12’’ and 7’’ vinyl release, ADI delivers the culmination of all of her musical experiences over the years.

Opener ‘Output’ sets the tone with warbling synth line, bumpy off-kilter drums and hazy atmospherics. ‘Break It Down For You’ follows next fusing skippy jazz leaning drums with spoken word vocals and a gritty bass hook. May 1 Loop 111 follows next, which ADI explains is like ‘a word game and reflects the feeling of being looped within ones self (habits, mindsets, thoughts). ‘Indefinite Recession’ follows, laying down an IDM tinged five and half minute, piecing together dynamic drums, winding resonant synths and choppy bass stabs.

‘Mad Love’ follows next, again exploring ADI’s more jazz-tinged minimal aesthetic via skippy broken drums, warbling Rhodes and spoken word voices. ‘War Outside’ follows, retaining a similary stripped-back aesthetic with hazy ethereal pads, low-slung percussin and intricately evolving melodies. Up first on to the 7’’ part of the release is ‘Over’ a nod to instrumental hip hop with dusty breaks, chopped samples and mind altering melodies before ‘Beginning’ wraps things up courtesy of warped subs, crunchy drums and an amalgamation of tripped-out jazz samples.

Bside Incoming: COEO

This week brings another exciting announcement for the Bside Incoming series, we have an episode from a very talented German duo who are just as highly renowned for their ever delightful productions as for their mastery of the turntables and incredible collection of music. We warmly welcome COEO.

Recent years have seen them develop a close affiliation with Toy Tonics, with 8 releases over almost seven years it’s a match made in heaven for the ever so soulful house of COEO. Be sure to check out the record label showcase here:

They also have a couple releases on the label of another past guest, JKriv’s Razor N Tape pressing this absolute gem on the B1 of their edits EP:

With a wide array of releases, thousands of record sales and millions of Spotify plays, we are very excited to have a sneak peek into the record collection of the pair that are quickly becoming some of the most prominent producers in the house music scene. 

What inspires them and what makes them tick, recent purchases and old favourites, the warm up moods and peak time tracks, funky bass lines and an homage to Daft Punk, soulful house to techno, garage, and back.
