Dasha Rush is a Russian born artist who sees the genre as a starting place not a destination. She is a respected and well-travelled DJ and live performer, but her work is equally focussed away from the dance floor, and sometimes away from music itself. Her recent album for Raster-Noton, Sleepstep, could be a metaphor for her work: "These 16 pieces are transmissions from that state between sleep and wakefulness," said Tony Naylor, a reflection of the in-between zones her music often inhabits. Dubby but intense, brutal but tender, foggy yet clear—Sleepstep was a wonderful mass of contradictions. Not being one thing or the other is vitally important to Rush, which goes hand-in-hand with her strong independent streak. The majority of the music she's released since starting out in 2005 has come through her own Fullpanda label and, as she told us in 2013, she's resistant to playing the publicity game in the way many in the scene do. That's meant she's remained off the radar for some techno fans, but it's also given her the freedom to explore projects and sounds as she pleases. With all this mind, it was little surprise that our invitation to record a podcast was met with, "Yes, but it won't be a club mix." What we got instead was an absorbing 65 minutes of dense ambient soundscapes that shows Rush at her most reflective. The mix comes ahead of the North American premiere of Antarctic Takt, Rush's A/V show with Stanislav Glazov, at this week's Mutek festival in Montreal.

ara is a new record label curated by David Letellier, a.k.a Kangding Ray.
ara is a platform for recording artists with unique sonic identities that seeks to induce deep emotion
through sound ; focusing on singular artistic endeavours, created with patience and dedication.
While rooted in electronic club music, ara will not follow any prescribed sonic path :
it will explore a palette of diverse sound worlds who evolve through parallel series of curated
releases. Each series will represent either a concept or a particular musical direction, which will be
mirrored by its own design approach.
Since releasing physical records is increasingly becoming an irrational choice, each record will be
irrationally produced as an hand-made work of art, involving procedures and techniques such as
manually-applied ink, brushed acrylic paint or tape. Each edition will be individually numbered,
recognisable as a part of a whole, while being slightly different by nature.
The first release, by label curator Kangding Ray, will be the first step of this journey : organic,
emotional club music, for the body and mind.
The following releases for 2019 will come from Adiel, Refracted, Hydrangea and Voiski

The sonically bold DJ-producer Kangding Ray launches his brand new ara imprint with Predawn Qualia - an organic and emotional four-track EP set to drop on May 17.

Ahead of the release, the label boss has handed over the EP cut 'Orcan Tears' - a driving and aquatic dancefloor slammer that thrives in the darkest recesses of the club.

Premiere: Kangding Ray 'Orcan Tears'

"Sonar is one of the few festivals which manage to present electronic music in all its variations, pushing boundaries and finding links between experimental sounds and more popular forms of music.
I constantly explored this hybrid spaces with my different projects : as a solo sound and visual artist, through my own new label “ara”, or with Neon Chambers, with which i will perform at Sonar by night this year alongside my partner Sigha

Presented here as a premiere, “Stone Sober Brushstrokes”, taken from my last EP as Kangding Ray, which will be released on the 17th May on ARA, was born as a result of such a crossover : a track which blends different bass music influences and hints of hiphop into a techno framework."

Neon Chambers play the Resident Advisor SonarLab on Sat 20th July

Minilogue - Live @ Langhult 2012 - when you feel it you own it

From his early releases on the legendary german imprint raster-noton, to his more recent output aimed at the club, Kangding Ray managed to trace a singular trajectory, navigating the unexplored territories between experimental music and dance music.

Through his consistency as both Live performer and DJ, and a number of critically acclaimed releases, Kangding Ray showed his ability to keep a genuine artistic approach, while slowly crafting a unique universe, equally focused on emotional response and visceral impact.

Kangding Ray’s music tests boundaries, evolving constantly in its exploration of texture and rhythms, while talking equally to the body and the mind.
From his past as architect, Kangding Ray kept a multidisciplinary approach to art, applying his craft in diverse artistic fields such as visual arts, film scores, audiovisual installations and dance performances.
