Words from Knekelhuis:
In the beginning of the 20th century modern art started to flourish. 
There was a wide range of art forms with a huge variety of movements. Impressionism, pointillism, Dadaism, expressionism, kubism, futurism, constructivism – to name a few – had an influence on painting, 
sculpture, film, literature, architecture and yes, even music. 
Although very different, these movements had one thing in common: 
a dogma. Especially later forms like De Stijl or Bauhaus had a specific 
set of rules to follow, sometimes written down in the form of a manifesto. Joining such a group meant sticking to the aesthetic standards. 
The urge to specify and later categorize art never seem to have left.
When you read interviews with Traxx it shows he has a very high moral towards music. About how it should BE…

Nowadays, radical categorization of music seems to be more important than ever. Artists are becoming afraid of diverting from a well-known stylistic path. It seems the style dictates the track, not the maker.
Traxx is a totally different story. 
although a lot of people appreciate it, we do not understand Traxx' approach to music. It’s been labelled diverse and eclectic. 
This does describe aspects of his style, but still doesn’t grasp his attitude. Traxx calls himself 'an ambassador of truth'. 
This has nothing to do with arrogance. It merely shows how significant 
it is for him to follow the innovative footsteps of his heroes. 
Nowadays, revolutionary tunes from artists such as Ron Hardy, 
Larry Levan and Larry Heard have been analyzed and classified aesthetically and that’s exactly where it goes wrong. 
It was never about the sound of jack, it was the way they used 
tracks in order to tell a musical story through their sets. 
Traxx understands that as no other. 
His truth is sometimes dramatic, sometimes euphoric, sometimes high energy, sometimes deep, sometimes easy and sometimes esoteric but always unpredictable!



Knekelhuis Presents Traxx LIVE at Doka April 2014

I'm extremely honoured to host a mix by the infamous Jean de Plume (aka Bashley) @jean-de-plume. 

When asked if he wanted any description adding he said "No, no text needed, use the ‘art’work" so I'll let the "art" do the talking whilst you get a...well...streaming...

Excited to be reliving our last event again by sharing some live recordings from the night 🌀

First up is Seb H.'s closing set; a masterclass in the building of tension, juxtaposing of dreamy melodies with wobbly bass & warm and fuzzy techno, journeying seamlessly through dark winding half time, jungle, de-school-basement-esque techno & even some dreamy tearjerking house.

"So I knew Jasmín could finish her set pretty much anywhere - from 130 techno to 170 drum’n’bass, I wanted to be ready to take over from anywhere. I put together blocks of roughly 10 records that all had a similar vibe/tempo: a block of hypnotic techno, a block of dubstep, DnB/half-time etc. And then I had transition records that could get me between each block. So on the night it was just a case of moving between the blocks in an order that made sense 😌"

Seb H. playing the closing set epitomises what we are trying to do at kinetic. Pair established artists with incredibly talented yet under the radar DJs, who totally deserve a space to perform. Seb's understanding of the emotional connection withe the dance floor & his records make him a truly special talent. 

Our next event is on 17th May at Ormside Projects. Tickets here - https://ra.co/events/1883623

«I've put this mix together after an inspiring weekend in the North of England, celebrating the birthday of the Golden Lion in Todmorden where Andrew Weatherall left an indelible mark.
The mix includes music from Weatherall himself, alongside music that would have comfortably sat in some of his ALFOS sets (never above 120BPM!), tracks I was reminded of during the two days of partying, and music that in one way or another has to do with Vladimir Ivkovic who closed proceedings on Saturday night (what a set sir!). The cruising speed stays around 100BPM - but the reassuring steadiness of the pace is contrasted by the variety of sounds and beat patterns throughout the mix.»

lan Nyquist explores sonic innovation and pays homage to a traditional instrument on his album, 'Gilded' scheduled for release on September 5th. Nyquist plants his feet on the shifting terrain of Ireland's pastoral traditions, offering a unique sonic voice that doesn't lose sight of its cultural inheritance.

The beating heart around which 'Gilded' is woven is the bodhrán, a native Irish frame drum with which Nyquist uses innovative techniques to push the instrument beyond its ordinary confines.
Mirroring the instrument's sound through modelling software, the album's title itself nods to a theme of transformation, suggesting something familiar burnished to a new brilliance, giving it new life. The result being a truly unique unfurling of the harmonic, hypnotic and rhythmic potential of the bodhrán.

This spirit of transformation is most vividly realised through Nyquist's collaborations with some of Ireland's most evocative voices. On a version of 'Leis a'bháta Dhubh Dharaich (The Black Oaken Boat)', Edinburgh-born, Dublin-based singer-songwriter lona Zajac lends her haunting vocals to an old Gaelic rowing song, her voice holds the track in a timeless tradition even as Nyquist's arrangement swirls around her; an anchor in a storm- tossed sea.

Similarly, on 'Úna Bhán (Fair Una)', Cork's sean-nós singer Lorcán Mac Mathúna brings a sacred and ethereal quality to the 18th-century love song, his voice floating assuredly over Nyquist's sparse, shimmering arrangement.

An original composition by Laucan, 'What Else Am I For?', marries introspective, dream-washed vocals with an impressively fine-tuned production style. Once again, Nyquist demonstrates his ability to connect diverse genres and musical traditions.
Ireland's music scene continues to branch out and evolve, spurred on by the artists-like Nyquist; with 'Gilded', he melds the sound worlds of old and new, of technique and heart, of heritage and reinvention. His work resists neat distinctions and rigid genre typologies, while retaining a sense of where he calls home.

Traditions are never static; they are reiterated, redigested, and recast.

The former home of Jagger and the Bat and now here lives only the Bat (living in different continents will do that to a DJ duo). But worry not all the old Jagger and the Bat mixes are here as well as my own solo outings not to mention all of the old Arthouse podcasts ready for you to get your greasy mits on. Have at it.
