Broken eggs

I first properly met Phil back in early 2016 when he came to my old flat on Peckham Rye to interview me for XLR8R. The whole experience was both charming and professional and the end result was very high quality. It happily remains my only official piece of press to this date.

Little did I know Philip Kearney was due to metamorphose into KRN: core member of Berlin’s infamous Ghost crew, leading unearther of skewed house and the undisputed Podcast King of the New Generation. It’s a big pleasure to host him for the second Marginal Mix. Charming, professional and very high quality.

Marginal Mix 02 - KRN

Number 63 of our series comes from our homie and podcast maestro KRN, this time with something a bit different. The mix is a special blend of drum n bass, both old and new, a genre that we all grew up on and still share a huge love for. 

Big thanks to Phil for this beauty of a mix - it's been on heavy rotation ever since we first received it. Enjoy!

Spaced Live With KRN & Loren - 03 February 2024

Ask Berlin's network of revered deep diggers who their favourite "DJ's DJ" is, and there's a strong chance you'll hear one name immediately pop up: KRN.

Phil Kearney, AKA KRN, is one of those rare types who has built a reputation away from the limelight. Formerly a resident at The Ghost's Hoppetosse party as well as a Get Perlonized devotee (plus, full disclosure, reviewing events and working at RA in the mid-2010s), he's well-versed in both wiggle and waft. The hubbub around KRN can be put down to the fastidiousness of his approach: he unearths rare gems from the roots of the underground, before mixing it up with a deft hand.

Kearney's RA Podcast, sweetly subtitled "Dadhouse," is an ode to his partner and newborn, as well as a window into his personal palette. He starts in serene IDM territory, before shifting into playful grooves and tactile house oddities. Good lucking ID'ing many of the tunes—we asked for a tracklist but, deep down, already knew the answer. We know this, too: one listen and you'll be hooked.
