Darcoform Podcast #008 with MAD VASCO (Vinyl Only)

New exclusive series will be opened by an old friend of the project by Denis Andreev

EX | Denis Andreev

Minimal music covers a broad spectrum and the micro-minimal space is fascinating. Rie is an avid traveler of this genre, where he invites others to join.
Rie aka Loránd Fodor  brings a mix that makes the space feel dark and raw at times, and subtle and tasteful at others. Emotional nuances, distorted frequencies and powerful textures. Rie navigates the micro depths with relentless candour and pinch.
📍based in Romania, Transylvania

AGL Podcast 029 - Rie [Ro]

After a short break away we are back with episode 30 of our podcast series, this time we welcome talented selector Valentina Kovalenko.

Hailing from Rusia, her style is characterized by minimalism, refined technique and the ability to create a connection between music and the audience. The broken rhythms in the minimal style are combined with deep bass lines and minimalistic melodies, expressing simplicity and elegance, which reflects the essence of the minimalist style as a whole.

Enjoy x

UI Podcast #031 / Valentina Kovalenko

Here we bring you the 7th version of Radio Mesa, thoughtfully curated and mixed by none other than Katharine Abrahams. Katharine is a staple dj in the Melbourne dance community. She and her husband Ben Abrahams run Motion Theory Music and have been throwing parties and dropping beats for as long as they can remember. Katharine's style is funky, minimal, and driving, with a friendly dose of psychedelia. We have been loving listening to her mixes this year and we were just thrilled that she was ready and willing to put one together for us!!! Enjoy!

p.s. the intro features Katharine and Ben's son Eli - "When Motion Theory Music from Melbourne meets Mesa Recordings, you get 'Perceiver'. By Katharine, my mom"

Radio Mesa 07 - Katharine Abrahams "Perceiver"

This is one of my favourite mixes.   
The music is over 6 years old & came together in an unplanned session that long ago.

If you like the way it makes you think & feel, the depths it hints at, the warmth it generates, then do enjoy my other sets from over the years too.... *vibration:appreciation*

Mixed on turntables with timecode vinyl.  

I originally made it for the Romanian Podcast Series ART E.  The series was curated by Sabina Muller who had gathered a great collection of artists. 

It had lots of hearts which made me feel pretty loved up x

Art E - Romanian Podcast - Katharine 2016 - quiet re:post - a subtle, compelling minimal groove..

Katharine *INREGISTRARE INTERPLANETARE - repost from 2018 - DEEP & FIREY

Deep Seahorse Podcast presents: Katharine Motion:Theory

Spontaneous curations filled with sublime sounds, hypnotic grooves, lush astral house & minimal funk *Vibration appreciation*

Motion:Theory are Katharine and Ben Abrahams:

Perpetually Promoting Perception Expansion along Australia's East Coast since 1998 with parties in the Byron Bay Hills and Melbourne, 7 years of Saturday nights at the infamous Elsewhere Bar, Surfers Paradise, with some of the world's best underground djs, and many psychedelic house parties. They are married, have children, friends, animals and lots of records. Their parties have always drawn those who crave it deep, and like to emerge in the early hours enhanced and inspired. Their sound blurs the line between house and techno; slightly sideways & always psychedelic; it's liquid dub for the dance floor. Ben and Katharine play at parties, for collectives and renowned club nights between Byron and Melbourne, while lovingly affiliated with the Killing Time Bar. Be enhanced by their spontaneous mutual vibration appreciation.

"The researcher Majix says our brains are so sensitive, that they are like liquid crystal in response to the magnetic component of the earth. We are sensitive to earth’s magnetic changes, changes in the ionospheric cavity and resonate those frequencies ourselves. We are incredibly complex entities, beyond the layperson‘s comprehension. Our brains are indeed a type of bio-cosmic transducer." Nicholas Jones.

RROOM PODCAST 062 - Loopdeville

"We are creative creatures, and all motion towards creation is healing. I ponder how miraculously things come together as we work with energy, whether it be finding music while raising children (and ourselves!), mixing it altogether without too much over-thinking and then giving it to others with the intent to bring joy and forge new connections, or engaging in another of the infinite possibilities life presents us." - @katharine-motiontheory

*Vadim Svoboda of Makesense about my Rupert Wall mix:  "GREAT MIX Katharine, I have nothing to say but: tight, personal, varied but very homogenous... top notch."  

*Feeder Sound Romania: “her recordings are intense and with a sophisticated perspective on sounds and rhythms." 

Sublime sounds and hypnotic grooves stimulate her being, compelling her to source and mix, creating a micro, minimal, soul-stirring experience she calls astral:house. Those who crave nourishing sonic sessions have followed Katharine’s journey along the Australian East Coast alongside her musical partner Ben Abrahams for over two decades as they’ve influenced the scene with their exciting taste & consistent delivery of stimulating underground house & techno, both in clubs & outdoors. 

Together they created ‘Strange Brew’, an all ages acid-house vinyl party at the Billinudgel Pub, Byron Bay, at which time the infamous 'Shed' was built;  revelling in the Outback for sunset was deliciously surreal, dancing to stripped back house grooves amongst the gum trees. 

They ran eight extremely memorable years of Saturday nights at Elsewhere Bar on the Gold Coast. Katharine played psychedelic house before Ben's killer 5 hour sets, then both joined together for the heaving sweaty early morning hours.  Elsewhere won Best Music for a Club in Australia at the Sydney Bar Music Awards at that time. All vinyl back then.

Katharine had the first of her two children before returning to Melbourne and putting on high-vibe parties at the infamous Killing Time Bar & My Aeon,  always with a tight crew of Australia’s best underground djs.  

Katharine made mixes for Art-E Romania and the Microtechno Podcast series 9 years ago, having long been recognised for her way with intricate sounds, particularly with lovers of micro-house & the Romanian influenced minimal.  She appreciates music which alludes to the transcendent - both gently & powerfully.  As an undeniably charged up being she just keeps on lovingly creating fresh soundtracks for her friends’ lives. Last year she made 21 mixes for amazing collectives around the world, including Half is Enough Romania's Strangers in the Night: each session is an experience. 

Her unique way elevates and deeply satisfies at both sunset & sunrise, and she has played magical closing sets out in the forest, most recently for the Comfort Zone crew on their final day on the main stage by the creek. 

Find her playing at Killing Time Bar, at Motion:Theory parties & for local crews (Subterrania, Synergy, Cable, Over & Mood Pilot), but experience her anytime through the Motion:Theory mix series and the sessions she makes for collectives who appreciate her taste and storytelling ability: 
it’s LUSH MINIMAL for the dancefloor. 

*Latest mixes are made from vinyl & waves for 333 Flow Sessions - Byron Bay, Abartik - Switzerland, Sono Unica - Sweden, A:ritmi:a - Colombia, E-Series - Sydney, Destruct - Germany, Deepthreem - UK, Rupert Wall's Select Series - Brooklyn, Feelin' Station - Tehran, Rhizome Records - Seattle, Koche Records - Spain, Strangers in the Night - Half is Enough - Romania,  Mood Pilot - Melbourne & Alterhour - London, Fratii.ro - Brazil, Abs_Track Label - Spain, Spclnch - Netherlands & next up Butter Sessions - Australia.
