This mix was inspired by late summer night walks to the club, as the sun goes down and the excitement for the night ahead building - or those final hours of sun at a festival when the anticipation for what’s ahead is at it’s peak. It’s a collection of records I’ve been enjoying a lot this summer and ones you’ll hear a lot in my coming festival sets. Both for early hours and late night missions.

Probably our last Down To Earth night we put on alongside Public Affair and @pressuredome at Strange Brew in Bristol a few weeks ago.

Thank you! I mostly go with rhythmic or melodic elements that fit together and see what feels right in the moment. I feel like theres so much good music that can be mixed together that I don't want to limit myself. At the other hand I'm not sure if I'm being a bit all over the place sometimes - I suppose it's always a bit of a fight finding your sound and this year I have really noticed that with djing.

I really love having some kind of soundworld in my music. I just like to create it and sort of sit in that kind of place. I find that very peaceful, even if it maybe sounds quite dark from the outside. I also try to add so many sounds that it's hard to tell where they start and end. Some kind of organised chaos - definitely an inspiration that comes from listening to Flying Lotus' Los Angeles Album.

The other big thing for me is sub bass. I somehow find very deep kicks extremely satisfying so that's an important factor for me, too.

For the concept of this mix I wanted to put together a selection of tracks inspired by some of my favourite moments on the dance floor this year. Those times when the night stretches into early morning, and the energy is electric, yet the atmosphere is mystical and dark.

For the mix I tried to focus on the stripped back low-end driven sides of trance and progressive music, hopefully capturing the energy and atmosphere of those memorable sections of club nights.

As the mix unfolds, there's a progression in energy to play on being drawn deeper into those nights where you can feel that building sense of liveliness and anticipation.

owing to a certain free-flowing ethos of which Habitual Pleasures embodies, + the pumping style of comrades blu.dream & LUSCIOUS, I felt that I could lean into my preferred mode of selecting when opening a space: experimental collaging as resistance to slow-building, “functional” club music.

a busted deck and delayed start presented a busy floor from inception; a fun proposition to amplify this mode and fuck with everyone just a little bit, breathing space into the mix on my own terms.

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.

This set was originally recorded at Goo Night in Spanners, a snug, intimate venue in South East London. Imagine a roomful of free, sweaty bodies moving to the rhythm, surrounded by dense red-tinted haze. The atmosphere was sexy and sticky that night. 

A little disclaimer regarding the recording. I had to re-record the second part of the set at home due to sound quality but the essence of it is in no way compromised 🙂

I wanted to put together a set focusing on spaciousness and the interplay between heady depth and liberating playfulness, exploring ways in which the two can meaningfully coexist. The idea was to allow the audience to release their body fully on the dancefloor so obviously there had to be a good amount of energy running through the veins of the set. But at the same time, I really wanted to tickle their minds, open doors to imagination, introduce depth so if one really listens in, there is a whole world of sonic magic to explore - a complexity both sonic and emotional.

The process always starts with digging for new music that sets the tone for the playlist or when packing my record bag. I look for a specific flavour of sounds for each gig, thinking about the context in which I will be playing and trying to understand what possible directions I can take. 

Once I select those fresh tracks, I start building the rest of the playlist around it, first more generally and as I listen back with the set approaching, I keep refining it until it feels like it has enough substance. At the same time, I make sure it is generous enough so I can cover a lot of ground if the gig goes in a different direction than what I expected. It’s always a balance of keeping one’s artistic integrity while working with the crowd to create a powerful experience for everyone.

Terra Obscura is a collaborative event I run together with my close friend Alicia. We started the series back in March 2022 at Ormside Project which is still our home to this day. Me and Alicia have an impressive overlap in terms of music taste but we are also quite good at challenging each other's ideas which I believe is important for a healthy growth of any project. We are both into a lot of deep, intricate music within the ambient & downtempo, techno, breaks & bass realm to give you a very rough idea about our programming. 

When we are building a line-up, we always throw around a lot of names and then try to find a common thread among the artists we want to book. We imagine how their sound would work in a particular slot and how their sets would flow into each other so there is a sense of development throughout the night. This process is usually quite long but in some ways really intuitive. 

What is very important for us is to approach the event as a whole, a night that effortlessly moves forward along a curatorial narrative, one step at a time from the start to the very end, moving from horizontal ambient to sweaty dance as it progresses.

Next up is an excerpt of Dj wiggles & softi's opening set. The recording starts from 45 minutes into their set, as they started building their way up through the bpm’s. Lots of percussive rollers, slinky hypnotic techno and a few curveballs thrown in for good measure. 

A beautiful melting pot of both of their sounds, with peaks of tension and energy throughout. Enjoy!

First up is Seb H.'s closing set; a masterclass in the building of tension, juxtaposing of dreamy melodies with wobbly bass & warm and fuzzy techno, journeying seamlessly through dark winding half time, jungle, de-school-basement-esque techno & even some dreamy tearjerking house.

"So I knew Jasmín could finish her set pretty much anywhere - from 130 techno to 170 drum’n’bass, I wanted to be ready to take over from anywhere. I put together blocks of roughly 10 records that all had a similar vibe/tempo: a block of hypnotic techno, a block of dubstep, DnB/half-time etc. And then I had transition records that could get me between each block. So on the night it was just a case of moving between the blocks in an order that made sense 😌"

Seb H. playing the closing set epitomises what we are trying to do at kinetic. Pair established artists with incredibly talented yet under the radar DJs, who totally deserve a space to perform. Seb's understanding of the emotional connection withe the dance floor & his records make him a truly special talent.

Weirdness and detail. This is all I want as a listener and a dancer, and what I want to convey as Ikävä Pii. In this mix I’ve explored slowfast ambiguity, music for ponds and futuristic punk, pairing Italian Sunitty with warped UK techno, with a couple of WTF turns.

For the most part, it is extremely detailed music. It’s abstract and rich. I don’t like the definition of “sound design” anymore: it sounds “functional”, as if the goal was creating a product. These producers are (like me), instead, trying to spawn detailed worlds.

I’ve started making music with a punk band in Puglia. I picked up a guitar because my father and all his brothers played. Family gatherings were beautifully loud. Puglia was still a poor and tough place when I was a kid, so my love for international music was a form of escapism. I was (like many others) online a lot and in touch with musicians from all over the world. I started dreaming of London listening to The Clash at maybe 12yo? London has truly shaped me, I was radicalised here. Politically and artistically. And here’s where I embraced my queerness.

I think, in many instances, it was here that I was exposed to some really fringe stuff, and that’s how I realised I loved everything that was genuinely weird or boundaries-pushing. Furthermore, I believe that Hackney Wick makes my life as an artist easier. Cheap rent, community and proximity: it’s a 5 mins walk from the warehouse to the studio and the venue, and sometimes special things only happen thanks to the support of other locals. You know who you are! <3

Niche started in April 2023 as a monthly sonic hangout; noisy jams, open decks, and improvised sets. Now it’s a full-scale event, with performances by some of the best artists we know. It started out of necessity: an accessible space to experiment with fellow noisemakers. 
My relationship with the venue was crucial; I’ve been a resident at The Bath House for 2 years now, and Niche can only happen because my studio is there.

It is a lovely ecosystem of musicians, DJs, listeners and dwellers. We are trying to bridge the gap between the bedroom and the venue, offering a space for people to try new things out and take risks, playing for the most understanding audience. In terms of curation, I am looking for the most daring acts out there - no genre limitations, but definitely priority to live shows, and musicians in particular. 
Alongside artists I know and/or follow, we met incredibly talented people through the open calls, or other nice folks who just jumped on the groupchat and asked to play! Keeping it as open and diverse as possible is at the core of our practice. We only have one resident at the moment - the amazing Queenie.

Firstly, thanks to Dj wiggles for the opportunity to contribute to the Kinetic series <3

The mix is experimental and long-form, exploring ambient meditative selections as well as darker bass-heavy and textured tracks from across the bpm spectrum, with several tracks warped far from their original bpm. The pace, mood and energy fluctuate. Some tracks emerge quickly, like intrusive thoughts or distractions, others are  given more time to breathe merging into the mix more subtly. This reflects the often unpredictable and challenging nature of losing and regaining a sense of presence and control. The mix has a symbolic cyclical nature, returning to particular percussive sounds and motifs as it progresses. 

Many philosophies motivate me to DJ including the belief everything is connected to the collective and sound exists at that intersection, it is a universally connecting force that exists at the boundaries where mind and body meet the world. All creative practices are intrinsically informed by the personal experiences of their creator/s. This imbues them with narrative and gives them the potential for human connection at these boundaries. 

The title of the mix “decompression” alludes to the pursuit of emotive release. It is a response to life at present - from harrowing world events, to personal challenges and introspection. I hope people enjoy and connect with it, perhaps finding some peace of mind by its end.

I started the Fortune Sessions nights in 2019. Before then I threw a lot of house parties. When I had to move into a house unsuitable for big gatherings I began looking for a venue. 

The Fortune of War is a venue located on Brighton beach. It has an intimate dance floor space indoors for winter events and then a big outdoor space for parties in summer. It’s well-loved by locals, with a friendly and laid-back vibe. For a grassroots night it felt like the perfect fit. 

The first session went well but then Covid hit just before the second event was due to happen. I was disappointed but it gave me time to develop the aim and concept behind the events. I also acquired a better sound system to power them. The second session finally took place in March 2022 and two years on I’m preparing for the 15th!

The Fortune Sessions have always had a multi-genre format with a commitment to diversity behind the decks, and a low-key unpretentious vibe. The venue being a pub rather than a club means that the events draw a crowd of dedicated ravers as well as people just out for a good time. Not everyone who enjoys dance music vibes with the club environment, so I’m glad to be able to platform niche genres in an unintimidating space to a wider audience. The nights being free entry also means its more accessible, giving the opportunity for new musical discovery. On a few occasions I’ve been asked “what IS this music??” by people on the dancefloor.

For this mix I wanted to try and build a blend some of the outcome of my researches towards the different shades and forms of danceable music I personally enjoy the most, possibly limiting as much as possible the usage of music conceived and created specifically for the contemporary dance floors and sound systems, and trying to dig deeper into different dimensions of regular and non-regular rhythms, music jams and head-moving sonic creations from all over the world, mostly focusing on the mediterranean macro area and more.

My past, when I was living in Berlin and DJing more regularly in clubs, has helped me shape my technical skills. Milano instead has helped me breaking my limits, getting out of my comfort zone and destroying a lot of the patterns that, as a DJ and Music Maker, were locking me down in a box. There’s a lot of oxygen, curiosity and creativity nowadays in my everyday life.

My first rave experiences were to the sounds of Drum n’ Bass and although I’ve strayed from the genre and now love and play other stuff, I think my non 4/4 roots come through in most things that I do. I like the versatility and experimentation of a breakbeat and feel it leaves more room to play - both behind and in front of the DJ booth.

I co-founded two projects here in Berlin, Double Trouble and FACILITATE. For Double Trouble, we do two versions of the night, one being focussed on the art of _baerchenwurst_, displayed on a backdrop of ambient music at our cute hangout spot Kwia and the other is pure party at Zur Klappe. We focus on bass music and are FLINTA so that plays a big role in the curation. I run the night together with DJ Doc and we started in December 2022. 

FACILITATE. I run together with DJ NORTHERN and we are a FLINTA Drum n’ Bass event which we started in November 2023. Both events were started to create more space for FLINTA DJ’s in the Berlin bass music scene, to make more space for bass loving queers on the dance floor and also just because we love it!

My intention with the mix was to encapsulate the more peak-time club energies that I’m consistently drawn to at the moment, and from this, the natural layering that happened with the mix is a beautiful epitome of how I experience meditation. At the start of meditating, I go through x amount of minutes weaving through thoughts, sensations, going into a few thought spirals by accident, all on a steady stream towards something. It’s like the thoughts and feelings are all catching my attention, pulling me in a bit further. And then I get to this breakthrough point where it feels like my mind has completely cleared and I have pushed past the stickiness of thoughts; which the bridge in the mix massively resembles to me. On the build to this, the tempo & rhythm is something that can be followed to this point, resembling the forwards motion taking you from your conscious mind into your subconscious mind. I had quite a profound experience of this at Positive Education late last year. I had the intention for Space Drum Meditation’s set to follow the sounds with my eyes closed and to engage with my body throughout it. The difference I felt in my mind and body afterwards is something that has stayed with me since. It struck a deeper chord on how meditative music is, if you let go and allow it to be. So this is where the concept has occurred quite naturally, where music and meditation meet in taking us somewhere beyond ourselves.

To be honest, I have found the world to be particularly dark this last year. When I thought about a concept and vibe for this mix, I struggled to go towards a happier direction, as it felt in contradiction with how I’ve felt recently. I have naturally leaned towards deeper, maybe more melancholic and dubby sounds for this one.
I am nonetheless amazed by all the great people around me fighting day after day for a better and more just future for everyone, it gives me hope and comfort, and that’s also reflected in this mix by lots of brighter, more hopeful moments.

It was actually a very soothing and cathartic experience recording this mix, thank you so much for inviting me <3

I’m from a place where there weren't a lot of clubs, or wasn’t much happening musically, so a lot of my first experiences with live electronic music were with warehouses, raves, or traveling to Spain close-by to go to afters or parties.
As someone who can be very obsessive about the things I’m passionate about, I just had to know everything, and was making tons of lists about labels, artists, releases, spending hours looking for tracklists on Mixes-db (soon RIP 😢), looking for parties and clubs on RA, and also started collecting vinyls, that I was always too shy to play in front of people.

Going to London and especially Fabric and Plastic People, as well as Freerotation also had a huge impact on me, and opened me up to a whole new world of sound.

Even though this music thing was objectively what was taking the most space in my life, through which I met most of my friends and found most of my jobs, for the longest time I just couldn’t imagine djing in front of people (even my friends), or even try to get better at it. I was thinking about it a lot, but just always felt it wasn’t for me, that I wasn’t really good at it, and wouldn’t manage to get better. I really had to push myself (and still have to tbh) very hard to get out of this mindset.

Aw thanks, really appreciate that <3 with radio sometimes it’s hard to know if people are actually listening, so I’m always so happy to hear someone say that they’ve been enjoying the show!
It will be 3 years of Therapy Dog next October. I started doing shows on Refuge before that, but started Therapy Dog in October 2021. I’m not sure there was too much of a concept to be honest, but I love dogs and mental health is something I have struggled with and find important, and I’m yet to find a quicker fix to being a bit down than petting a cute dog!

I like inviting friends and artists that I like on the show, and try to adapt to their style. If I’m doing it on my own, I’ll try to go with a specific theme. This show brought me so much joy over the last few years, always so nice to get to play some b2bs with friends or dig to find new music, as well as some regular time to practice and experiment outside the club. It also taught me to be a little more confident speaking on air, which I would never have been able to do before that.

The intention of this mix is to guide one down the path of introspection and exploration. This mix fluctuates between slow moving pieces and more club-centric sounds all in an effort to play around with what sounds we tend to deem as “meditative.” Some find zen alone in their bedroom, some find it surrounded by bodies on the dancefloor - I hope to balance these journeys as this mix moves between slow and fast, gentle and experimental, light and dark.

The concept of this mix is inspired by the artistic technique of chiaroscuro, a term rooted in the Italian words for light (chiaro) and dark (scuro). Chiaroscuro is a style that plays with the contrast between light and shadow, creating depth and drama in visual art. Similarly, this mix explores the dynamic interplay between contrasting elements in sound. As the mix unfolds, it moves through phases of intensity and calm, darkness and light, harsh textures and smooth rhythms. Each transition mirrors the gradual shift from shadow to light, capturing the essence of chiaroscuro in an auditory landscape. The dark, brooding basslines and haunting melodies serve as the "shadows," while the brighter, more uplifting elements cut through like "light," bringing balance and intrigue to the overall experience.
The mix’s energy comes from this contrast, creating a journey that feels both tense and uplifting—like moving through a twilight world where every moment hovers between darkness and light. Hopefully this helps listeners connect with the mix on a deeper level.

Thank you ! The way I build a radio show is slightly different from how I prepare for a live show, though both share the common thread of creating a narrative or storyline. I have a deep obsession with discovering new music, constantly searching for tracks I haven't heard before. I dig through platforms like Bandcamp and Discogs, and working for the bookings and programming at Venue MOT, where I spend most weekends, exposes me to a wide variety of music that I often Shazam. A radio mix, for me, is essentially a curated compilation of my favorite tracks discovered that month. When preparing for a live show, however, I have to consider factors like set time, the venue, and the rest of the lineup. My process involves going through my music library and organising tracks into different folders, always with a clear direction in mind for where I want to take the audience.

Ahead of his appearance at our label launch party next week & to celebrate his debut EP 'Trench' releasing on our label, 5RVZ steps up for our 36th podcast with a mix that perfectly showcases his unique and adventurous approach behind the decks. 

A moody, atmospheric mix that traverses slow and sludgy sounds, blended together in a way which feels more like a live performance than a DJ set - IYKYK and if not then get ready to meet your new favourite DJ.

“Screwed & Chopped” (or Chopped & Screwed) is a distinctive sub-genre of Hip-Hop that originated in Houston, Texas, created by DJ Screw. This remixing technique involves slowing down the tempo of the music to create a unique sound. Inspired by this concept, I’ve applied the same principle to a different genre, transforming tracks with an original BPM of around 170 to a more laid-back 100 BPM.

This approach embodies the essence of Hip-Hop: reimagining and remixing existing material to fit a new context. I’m a hip-hop kid at heart, I have a monthly hip-hop show (called “Beats, Rhymes & Life”) on Amsterdam’s Echobox Radio. As much as I can, I like to highlight the importance of hip-hop and the undeniable (massive) influence it has had on modern music, art, fashion and culture. The art of DJing—blending two records together—traces its roots to Hip-Hop, and without it, the evolution of dance music would be unrecognisable.

I’m a self-taught DJ. I got a pair of CDJs + mixer about 7 years ago. My style of DJ’ing is basically a result of spending endless hours in the basement of De School. I was captivated by countless DJ’s in that space over the years. I devoted time to listening with intent, observing from behind the DJ booth, analysing their techniques. Then going home experimenting and trying to figure out on my mixer how they were making certain sounds or rumbles. What emerged from this process is my own interpretation of techno mixing techniques but applying them to different styles of music. E.g. UK music. I mix drum & bass with the same precision and layering as berghain-style techno. I do a lot of layering, especially with bass lines, using 3 CDJ’s.

release date: 27th september

5RVZ’s debut EP ‘Trench’, is a darkside trip of refined DnB dynamics cultured by spiritualised sound design and the weightier ends of the hardcore continuum.  

A 4 track zone (plus one bonus track) of half time menace, threading sharp grooves with a deep techno palette. Influenced by both hip-hop & his sikh and panjabi heritage, it’s an ambitious body of work that typifies the exciting experimentation within the London club underground and exemplifies best the kinetic intention past, present and future.
