Knekelhuis Mix Series

Recorded at https://soundcloud.com/cultofestival in Turin, Italy   16.09.23

https://soundcloud.com/giesse999 B2B https://soundcloud.com/big-hands-1

Giesse and Big Hands present a live recording of their B2B from the festival CULTO - a Turin-based multidisciplinary event exploring contemporary electronic music, which took place in September 2023.

Thanks to his meticulous and transversal approach, Giesse's sets are linear and well-defined paths: an eclectic exploration that knows no boundaries, which alternates the concise charm of musical minimalism with the percussive and tireless dynamics typical of distant tribal practices; a precise identity imprint, a monolithic style that is difficult to emulate and that leaves no doubts. As https://soundcloud.com/ssiege he has released on labels such as https://soundcloud.com/knekelhuis and YOUTH.

Big Hands is a DJ and producer known for his serpentine and labyrinthine electronic productions that found homes on labels such as Al Wootton's Trule and https://soundcloud.com/blankmindlabel. Operating from London's musical institution Honest Jon's Records, in 2020 he founded - alongside https://soundcloud.com/soreabuk - the label https://soundcloud.com/baroquesunburst, releasing a series of distinctive records operating in a space that runs parallel to, but never touches the generally accepted sound of club music.

@kiernan-laveaux
Kiernan Laveaux comes in here, with her exciting take on what we could call ‘making full use of our mixing gear’. Keeping the spirit alive of Ron Hardy in the few interviews she did, it really makes sense in regards of the mutual playfulness in the art of DJing. 
The character of this mix bright and weird, something that gains feelings of hope and liberation. A trip that pulsates and stretches with loopy looping, that makes it breath & constrict at times. Kiernan guides us so smooth and kindly through many different cosmic passages. Wavy landscapes without losing any of warmth or euphoria.
Kiernan is from Cleveland, an affiliate of the T4T LUV NRG label & a part of Sweet Abyss - where this mix was recorded live, amidst various gay psychedelic vibes. Thanks Kiernan!

“This mix is 70 minutes transmitted live & direct from my brain at one of the transgender dance music focused Sweet Abyss events I helped to create in 2023, opening for my lovely friend Tabasheer. Recommended listening on a walk by yourself, in a room with strange lighting, or riding up & down life’s escalators”

First mix of the new year comes from one of the minds behind the excellent Somewhere Press label, Caapi. 

"Music for moving away... the tangled fear, romance and nostalgia of solitary drifting through a new city.." imagined through sounds from between 1993-2004.

Our next mix is by Officium. We get a proper long trip over here, with almost reaching 3 hours of music. 
Officium is a multi-instrumentalist, knee-deep in the forward pushing underground scene of France. Navigating the Wreckers Ov Civilization radio serie at Lyl Radio. 
Last year, he released the amazing album ‘lazybones’ at Teenage Menopause Records, from Paris.
This story is taking us from Cindy Lee to Coil and helen island to Special Guest DJ, while Boris is playing alongside Missy Elliott. 
“There are lots of clues about mystical thinking, emotions, winks to people I love and friends' musicals projects in here. All mixed up and resulting in a strong narrative.”

Blissful electronics out of New Zealand.

“The mix consists of lots of my favourite music from 2023 along with some classics that felt right. As with everything it was made on the couch.” — DJ Birdbath

@somewherepress
Somewhere Press is a Glasgow-based record label that embodies the emotive, narrative-led spaces in sound work, uplifting outsider voices and queering notions of experimental music and print. 

This mix explores the discrepant sounds of dream states.
Ethereal choral vocals are entangled with distorted and disturbed voices and a drifting psychedelic ambience is broken apart by rumbling atmospheres of industrial.
As layers break apart, raw and resonant drones float beneath the surface; an opiated, eternal delirium.

A pleasure to hear this mix by La Serpiente (Marco Segato). We’ve been in touch years back when I was booking the first Zaliva-D European tour.  Marco brought Zaliva-D to the, now permanently closed, Macao in Milano.  His journey in life brought him recently to Amsterdam. 

Marco Segato is a sonic explorer, producer and live performer currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He's the co-founder of Rete Neurale Milano E.S.T. - an event born in the infamous Milanese multi-cultural space Macao - and curator of the mix series Empty Signal Transmission. He has been a Red Bull Music Academy alumnus in 2016 in Montréal (Canada) and graduated in Audio Production at SAE Institute Milan in 2017. During the last years Marco released his music under four different monikers: La Serpiente, MS, Narvalos (with Alessio Costantino) & eoobe (with Elina Tapio). Across these projects his sound maintains a sense of mysticism brewing with eerie tension, influenced and incorporating sounds of broken beats, post-industrial experimentations, and ritualistic elements to conjure psychic immersion. He produces and performs live sets with a combination of analogue and digital hardware, with a sonic outcome that is always saturating the mind with extra-musical ideas.
