Visions of a New World XXXIX Mix [30/05/20]

This week we go deep into the Amsterdam underground and welcome 42nd Avenue to the series. The Maastricht-born Amsterdam-based selector has been a mainstay for years, earning his stripes in illegal raves back in the day at places like Waterhouse with the Sonorous Cell crew, or more recently as a resident DJ for the talented Kraft und Licht crew. Over the years, he's shared the stage with Adam Pits, Eversines, D. Tiffany, and many others. His selection is typical of Amsterdam which covers deep acid, electro-tinted bangers, and dub including tracks by local gem Jasmin, Lurka, Laurel Halo & Hodge, Equiknoxx. Lock in!

JENTLEMEN, a US-based DJ and producer dedicated to the classical and contemporary rave sounds as well as the more eclectic.

JENTLEMEN [SONS OF TRADERS BACK AT MUTANT] [11.10.2022]

Our 54th guest on the series is one of Exeter nightlife’s leading lights, @juniorverdant , providing a techno enthralled hour of beat nutrition. Henry’s love of techno spans far and wide from Detroit to dub. Inspired by his fathers influence as the head of Verdant recordings, Henry’s childhood was immersed with the sound. It’s been said that while your average Joe was played twinkle twinkle little star to calm their infant wails, Henry was played Andreaen Sand Dunes to transport him to a calming state.

Currently, Henry co-runs @room303uk , where they recently hosted Skin on Skin as well as Dusky. Looking to the future, he plans to soon delve into production using classic equipment methods, so keep your eyes peeled.

But for now, head over to the link in our bio to check out the man’s sound.

Pick 'n' Mix #54: Junior Verdant

The REC series carefully selects outstanding performances from XRDS festival 2023. In our latest recording, we catch Kafim's opening set at The Bridge on 20.08.23. 

Kafim, a seasoned raver, is a vigilant architect of the dance floor vibe capturing every gaze. A history and experience that empowered him to fulfill his ultimate purpose – engaging all ears and rallying them towards a common objective.  

A linchpin from the Deep In House legacy since the start where Kafim shaped his particular style as varied as we know it today. Having his own evolved signature on his name characterized by utopian, imaginative and forward-think values, stands as a statement of his musical evolution. 

Privileged to host this piece of Brussels' cultural heritage at our festival and thrilled to share the experience with you.

Pureblast  invite Kafim & Clyde Arcalis - 22 Février 2024

Former sound engineer now reconverted into coding, Kafim relationship with music goes way back to his young age, being a singer for a part of his childhood in a boys choral. Active in the Brussels city scene for more than 10 years, Max had countless gigs and a residency at C12 for some years to build his experience as a DJ. He now shares a medium of weird unpretentious music, hopeful and thoughtful mixes of zany basslines, moody post-punk riffs and idiosyncratic lyricism exhibit level-headed maturity and assertiveness.

287⚡️KAFIM

Max Tournay aka https://soundcloud.com/kafim is an established name in the Brussels underground community. He started deejaying techno music as a resident of the infamous Deep In House collective, who later founded C12 club where he was also a resident for several years. 

Max and I used to play regularly together around 2014/2015 as a deep techno dj duo and shared a couple of nice moments behind the booth. Yet, our paths went separate ways. Max’s interest floated away from club music, pulled towards a more wave-y, slowmo, rock-oriented spectrum. He has been a long-time host on Lyl radio, presenting a show called Basses Besognes focussing on psychedelic rock, garage, shoegaze & other guitar sounds. He also co-runs the (party) collective Curly Teeth, a platform for slowed-down forms of left-field club music.

Flash forward to a couple of months ago. Kafim played a long afternoon set at Horst Club’s intimate “Garage” room during the Gayhaze & Cocktail D’amore 2-day take over. On the dance floor, I was completely blown away by the uniqueness of Kafim’s music selection and super-skilled mixing. The energy that day was very special and emotional for me and the question of asking Max to share his mix after that day/night spent together was very logical. Here is the result of an artist rediscovering himself constantly but always counting on the technical skills of his early techno days. 

Another fact: Max came up with the name Basic Moves when Ailsa and I started the project 8 years ago. I’m so happy that our paths have crossed again, and I can give a platform to this live recording.

KAFIM @ BUKA Milano (12/07/25)

On the cliffs of Uluwatu, when the ocean devours the sun, the seven masks awaken.
Eyes swell red, jaws stretch wide, and teeth gleam like knives.
The stone trembles under their laughter,
and the night opens with a mouth full of drums.

Before gods, before men,
storms carved the first dance:
thunder cracking skulls of clouds,
waves tearing cliffs like flesh from bone,
winds shrieking as if torn from hollow throats.
The masks are fragments of this first hunger,
faces of a rhythm that devours silence.

When dancers put them on, the masks feed.
Flesh becomes rhythm,
breath becomes fire,
and the world shakes with a frenzy of jaws.

The Ritual of Polyrhythm is not a song — it is a feast.
Teeth bite into stone, flames lick the wind,
and every step drives deeper into the marrow of the night.
The cliffs themselves bleed sound until the horizon splits open.


The Seven Masks and Their Dances

1. Mask of Stone Breath

The earth exhales through basalt teeth.
Its rhythm grinds slow and merciless, a jaw of rock crushing time.

2. Mask of Ember Laughter

Flames split into a grin of sparks.
Its rhythm leaps jagged and sharp, fire biting the night in radiant joy.

3. Mask of Ocean Eyes

The tide opens as a mouth that swallows endlessly.
Its rhythm drags all steps into the black water, drowning them in memory.

4. Mask of Hollow Flame

Ash swirls in its throat, a furnace without warmth.
Its rhythm is a hollow blaze, breath echoing in chambers of fire
where sound stretches like teeth across the void.

5. Mask of Thunder Echo

The skull of the sky splits wide.
Its rhythm is a roar of jaws above the earth,
a storm chewing silence into splinters.

6. Mask of Shifting Steps

The ground cracks beneath its feet.
Its rhythm twists and breaks, pulling dancers into chasms that never end.

7. Mask of Air and Dream

The final mouth opens into dawn.
Its rhythm devours form into shadow, shadow into smoke,
until only breath drifts across the horizon, carrying the hunger of night into day.


Closing

At sunrise the masks return to stone,
but their teeth remain restless.
They gnash in thunder, grind in the tide,
and bite within the dreams of all who have seen them.

Mask of Stone Breath
