@aajaradio resident, small talk / @corsica_studios affiliate @fnkd1 steps up with this high NRG multi genre mix with just one task at hand: to defy all tempo limits by 10+/-

Every now and then I hear a song in a mix or in a club that I really like, eventually manage to Shazam it or find out what it is, only to listen to it back at home and end up not liking it very much. This is often because it was played at a different speed or a really specific context the first time I heard it. I think a lot of the time things can sound so much better or worse in the right/wrong context so I just decided to only play tunes at completely the wrong speed (at least +-10 bpm). I’m not sure if this says anything of any meaning but I think it’s a kind of interesting concept. In theory if someone listened to this mix and hadn’t heard any of the songs before they wouldn’t realise they’re all at the wrong tempo and would hopefully still enjoy it (fingers crossed). Deepest apologies to any producers I have upset by playing their music completely incorrectly.

@horstartsandmusicfestival was unbelievably good, seemed like so much attention to detail went into it and it had an actual sense of care towards the punters (unlike the majority of UK festivals). Programming/stage design was absolutely spot on.

There have been loads tbh and I wouldn’t say this is definitively the best buuuttttt I’m gonna go with @optimo-music at @houghton-festival either in the first year or the second year. Just couldn’t believe what was going on, I think both sets were 6 hours long and I’d just never heard anyone do what they did. Chucking in little samples left right and centre and mixing songs together I couldn’t even fathom. Like how was I hearing AC/DC mixed with Abba and Barington Levy mixed with gabber but all done pretty flawlessly.

Our final mix of 2023 comes from Earth Dog Records founder, Jek @earthdogbk - an hour of sludgy, swampy prog & rave fuelled trance made for  his favourite place to dance, the great outdoors. 

Big love to Jek for the contribution and rounding off a great year of submissions! <3

The concept of this mix is biome rave. Each arch/section is based on different outdoor environments where I imagine a perfect dancefloor.

I also wanted to include a few unfinished productions I’ve been working on, It was a challenge but also fun to fully customize tracks to fit into the mix.

kinetic mix 021: Jek "where i'd want to dance"

London based @striations-night co-founder, @ryokurashina provides this incredibly sultry and hypnotic journey through dub-infused rhythms for our 22nd mixtape. Moving seamlessly through genres, energies & tempos, this is a very very enjoyable listen. 

Thank you Ryo <3

I got the idea to record the mix after running a few of the @striations-night nights. I wanted it to represent all the different energies, genres and tempos which we go through during one of our nights. It’s quite hypnotic yet has a lot of that deep, danceable energy you get from sub-bass heavy music.

There’s lots of tracks inside that I play out quite regularly but it’s the first time I’ve put them all together in the way that I did. It was definitely tricky to get the balance right at times, but I’m really happy with the mix and glad it’s out on a great platform!

A lot of influence for sure comes from running the @striations-night nights. Hearing lots of great artists you admire play out, and getting to test ideas on a semi-regular basis really helps you to learn what you like. 

I’ve also put a lot of music made by friends in this mix as well. Knowing the person who made the track definitely helps make the mix feel more personal, and it’s something I always try to build into my mixes.

I started the night with a couple of friends (big up Rob and Elspeth) back in 2022 because we weren’t seeing the artists we wanted to see in a venue that we liked. Spanners was still fairly new back then and we loved the space so we went for it. Mary and Tobs who run it are the best and they’ve always been very welcoming. You can tell they really care which makes a big difference!

In terms of curation we try to keep it quite organic. We book (mostly) local artists who we really like and think complement each other nicely. I think a lot of it’s about helping the artists feel relaxed and free to explore their sound when they get on the decks.

Having inspirations from all corners of music growing up has definitely influenced my sound and approach. I like to mix it up and combine several genres, I’m also drawn to tracks which are very ‘crossover’ in sound - the early 2000’s has my heart due being abundant in this style!

When recording mixes I try to imagine in what setting I'd probably listen to them.  This one was made to fit my evening journeys when the sun has set but there’s still some lingering twilight. I aimed for both old and new records that were mysterious or deep, keeping the tempo low(ish) and the energy measured.

I grew up with parents that were in musical theater and dance, so I've always been surrounded by a family that enjoys this and encourages participation.  As a kid, courtesy of my dad, I listened to a lot of disco, funk, soul, reggae and rock, which definitely plays some part in what I'm drawn to. I got into various forms of electronic music probably during secondary school and then when university came around I got exposed to a lot more Techno through friends and being a regular partygoer in Leeds.  I had the luxury of finding an amazing group of mates who were all interested in the same thing, which really helped to encourage searching for records and Djing.  We would all mess around playing long b2bs together which really inspired me and developed my sound.  These days, I’m working as a buyer for Juno Records in Camden which has really expanded my knowledge of music and introduced me to so much more.

It came from my relationship with dreaming. We don't realize that we spend half our lives unconscious, dreaming, growing and the majority of us don't actually remember our dreams. I do!!! I remember them so well that I feel like they are another life for me, another world nip into creating but sometimes having no control over. I wake up daily confused or affected in some sort of way whether that is positive or negative. I believe they speak to us or remind us of another force out there, accessing that part of our brain and the universe we are longing for. Mixes or sets are quite like dreams, going on a transcendent journey unsure of what to expect. The weird subconscious worries we latch onto or deep desires in us and that’s what I wanted to create with this, a two hour mix inspired by those intricate and bitter sweet emotions starting slow with parts of chaos in there. It’s all connected ~~~

I grew up in a very musical household. Both my parents and family were music heads. They were very young when they had me so I grew up in a young adults home with their friends and our family around :) My dad especially, being Jamaican, was a huge lover of dancehall, bashment, jungle & Rnb. My Mum introduced me to pop, triphop and rnb and I was surrounded by cds, records and videos, having a small collection of my own when I was like 7/8, I still collect Cds today. I remember my parents used to have small gatherings at our house when I was a kid and invite friends and family around and there would be loud music playing through huge sound system speakers in the backroom…. I was so involved and curious and it stuck with me! As a DJ and producer I now look for that nostalgic feeling and emotion in music. I like sensual rhythms and deep groovy kicks and drums, kind of like in rnb or dancehall. I think because of how eclectic my musical childhood was has given me more of an open minded outlook when playing or listening to music. I like all genres and usually play a mixture of them creating my own sound with a few tracks from different genre families.
