Sonic View Radio Nr. 013 by Kahli

Sri Lankan DJ Kahli warmed our hearts last year when she visited Bangladesh to perform in Cox's Bazar for the last edition of HXTCH. We decided that we should bring her back for your ears by inviting her to make a mix for us. This is Kahli the Selecta for Episode 17!

Ghurni Listening Session 17: Kahli

Kahli is a Sri Lankan/American selector & digger that grew up on the vibrant South-East
Asian island. Having performed in Bangladesh, India and China, she has shared the stage with notable characters in the experimental electronic scene such as KHXDEEJ, Ancient Methods, and Phasmid. Unafraid to spin styles of all kinds, Kahli is deepening Sri Lanka’s relationship with high energy leftfield styles like bass, techno (hypnotic) and breakbeats. Keep up with her new project @kahlaj_sl.

Khali’s mix drifts through shadowy ambient and driving percussion, tracing a story that begins in atmospheric ritual and builds into kinetic, bass-heavy club energy. Allow the claps and snares to lure you into this deep, bass-rich hypnotic techno set, where subtle shifts, minimal textures, and slow-burning intensity invite the listener into a trance.

Beginning with an ethereal piece from Hearts of Space Records and closing with a reggae/dub-inspired remix by Mulholland, Khali draws a full circle with this selection. Inspired by the sets she’s performed for her favorite local event, @secretevents.cmb, this is a mix built for late night minds and open ears.
