Through channeling abysmal atmospheres, subliminal frequencies and a wide-screen orchestration of sonic dramatics, KĀ’s curatorial approach is inspired by a world where techno and the supernatural meet. Highly regarded for evoking frequencies that derive from obscured psychedelic foundations, the sound of KĀ entices an unworldly edge that merges futurism and mysticism together on the dance floor. The creation of such a devious psycho-acoustic archetype anchors itself betwixt mentality and the art of confrontational listening - undeniably saturated in divinely guided spirit and rinsed down with a relentlessly hypnotic concoction of time-winding deep techno infused with intention and vibrational medicine.

"While curating this set, I thought about how our human experiences often feel unstable, lonely, and painful, yielding our deep need for connection. This set is a meditation on how our artistic and creative practices of all kinds have the power to generate and co-manifest collective strength, and how crucial this work together is for all of us. The musical selections, for me, give rise to feelings of love, sensuality, mystery, whimsy, queerness, wonder – and a little fear too. The process of building this set was hugely formative for me; it took me quite a while to get the flow right and find a take that seemed to capture where I am at right now. A huge thank you to you for taking the time to listen, for Distant Signals for generating community around this series, and to all of the mind-blowing producers included below. I hope you enjoy xx"
