James K - 1080˚

In very loose terms, James K's (@jamesk_1) music operates at the fringes of the pop world. It is experimental and industrial, packed with hooks and riddled with dreamy textures that show off her mastery of synths. She has released it in album form with Dial and Incenso, dropped EPs on AD 93 and collaborated with the likes of Drew McDowall and Stefan Maie, and always manages to imbue her adventurous arrangements with real-world emotions and anxieties. This year she will join us at Dekmantel Festival but not before serving up this week's podcast.

It's the sort of rhythmically thrilling workout that has always stood James apart: jittery drum patterns and kinetic grooves that unfold at 100 miles an hour as a barrage of caustic motifs, hypnagogic melodies and hyper-real colours all bounce about the mix. There is an ever-present sense of tension in the way things are assembled - it's as if they might implode or explode at any minute, and it all sounds fantastically futuristic.

Truancy Volume 353: james K

"It is not easy to find Saphira, and it is even harder to leave. Saphira is caught between a low-lying sun to the west and a glowing moon to the east, Saphira’s longing grows dense and time thickens within its walls. Perhaps this is why Saphira’s radios and televisions stutter with phrases and images so ghostly yet so intimately familiar, why its dusty buildings seem always to crumble so gloriously yet never collapse. It is a city inside of want and outside of time."

Our description ahead of the party below, and it was everything we hoped it would be: sexy, romantic, sweaty, intimate, but we know they could've played for another three hours.  Let's call it part one...to be continued...
"We were so impressed by the b2b set that aka-Sol and como se DJ  played at the last Dripping club night at Nowadays – dubby, mysterious, sexy, full of a patient tension as if they could do this all night – that we wanted to hear it again, on the intimate scale of Fiber, in this space with our favorite freaks."

PACIFIC MODE mix series 004 is legendary and PM’s favorite, Loidis (aka Huerco S.) (@huerco_s), the head of west mineral ltd making an appearance.
This is a recording of opening set from May PACIFIC MODE. He perfectly set the mood of the party and his signature deep but also elegant minimal sound resonated with the crowd.
Please check out before his upcoming Asia/Australia including PM in Tokyo.
