Junior Loves - End Cut (excerpt)

Recorded live at Bossa Nova Civic Club on 9/20/24 --- @tatiaumiel

The first entry in our live mix series comes from the one and only Tati au Miel, recorded on a sticky summer evening at Bossa Nova Civic Club. They rip through breaks, bouyon and some ice cold techno in this two-hour tornado of a set, all gas no brakes from start to finish. Big thank you to Tati and everyone who came out to support that night!

𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐱 𝐛𝐲 ⊹ Abadir @rami-abadir ⊹

Abadir is one of the most fascinating producers (also a DJ and music journalist) from the contemporary experimental club music world. He is always changing and growing as an artist. He is interested in collaboration and frequently works together with different artists across the world. Whether it's with Nahash, Ehua, Lyra Valenza, or Slikback. From ambient to bass music to mashups and hybrids with rich Arabic rhythms.

"Cultural surroundings could mean rhythmic patterns that exist in the Arab region. I really can’t count the number of rhythmic patterns that we have. I only know a few, like 15 different rhythmic patterns, and I think there are hundreds. So, I’m still discovering, learning, and listening a lot," told Abadir to the Danish blog Passiveaggressive.

"I’m revisiting my early music influences in this special mix. Every artist/band in this mix has been a great source of inspiration to me in terms of production, sound design, mood and how to build a song structure. For the last ten years, I still find a lot of their traces in my music, consciously or subconsciously. I grew up with this music —among others— in the 90’s and 00’s, introduced to these artists through MTV, VH1, magazines like Q, Select and Mixmag, as well as MTV’s late-night programs Alternative Nation and Chill Out Zone. This mix brings back good memories of collecting music on CDs, Cassettes, VHS tapes and later on ripping music on CDs as music piracy took off with Napster, iMesh, Limewire and torrents."

[Swine Guest Mix] Abadir - Early Music Influences

For the latest Kuboraum Digital Sound Residency, Paris-based producer Low Jack teams up with Senegalese-French artist Le Diouck on ‘TLC’ — a stripped-back piece that dissects club music into its barest components to deliver Le Diouck’s raw, elliptical vocals over fragments of rhythm and sub-bass, sitting between contemporary rap and deconstructed club sounds.

Born in Honduras, Philippe Hallais, aka Low Jack, is a Paris-based French multidisciplinary artist and former co-director of Éditions Gravats. Playing with sound clichés and media folklore, he is inspired by the multiplicity of musical languages associated with underground subcultures. His unique sound blends dancehall and sound art, resulting in dubby and futuristic mutations of the Caribbean sound. 
Le Diouck is a Paris-based artist and rapper of Senegalese origin, known for his ability to fuse traditional African sounds with modern influences. His fluid musical style is characterized by dynamic rhythms and energetic flow, often marked by a strong social and political dimension
in his lyrics. Singing in Wolof, French, and English, he reaches an international audience through collaborations, notably with Crystal Murray and Lala &ce. 

Following their collaboration on Baiser Mortel (2022), Low Jack and Le Diouck also worked together on Mangrovia, a film premiered in June 2024 at Bourse de Commerce in Paris that explores the complex relationships between memory, dance, and the passage of time, with Le Diouck's voice playing a key role in the narrative.

'TLC' will be available to download by subscribing to Kuboraum Berlin News.

Low Jack feat. Le Diouck - TLC

A phone call with a past mentor who at age 95 is still teaching piano, a memory of giggling at her transfixed mother photographing swans, a feeling of being floored whilst unearthing letters from her parents’ relationship. Exploring her most personal narratives to date, Laenz’s album ‘88 keys’ is suffused by the power of unwavering devotion - both towards others and towards lifelong study of music. Leaving behind the guilt of adolescent indignation and deviation from classical music towards fascination with leftfield dance music, the release circles back: a reverence to former piano teachers and the nurture they instilled in her.

Across ’88 keys’, loosely tethered memories and the intricate yet unpredictable sonic turns Laenz is known for are grounded through bass frequencies. On ’’11’ which samples recordings of Laenz’s last public performance of Bach’s ‘Chaconne in D minor’ arranged by Busoni, sustained solemnity is beset against misty, dubbed-out percussive explorations of piano acoustics. ’’24’ reminisces on lazy walks by Berlin canals, basslines ebbing hazily below spiralling hi-hats and caliginous melodies. ’9-30-91’ delicately re-casts one of the many love letters written by her father to her mother when they began dating, into a sonically distinct, tenderly stripped back vocal track. The lyrics read: ‘My dear, I miss you so much, I miss you deeply, from the bottom of my heart. Thoughts of you, occupy my whole heart, and every corner of my mind’.

Conversations, past performances, and archival recordings are run through iterations of radio transmission-reception, audio becoming irreversibly lost or altered into ambiguity. Each titled after a year, though not emotionally bound to it, the tracks are an aggregate of Laenz’s desire to calibrate them actively in her current memory—resisting any inevitable, obsolescent effects of time’s passing. In Laenz’s words ’88 keys’ ‘though a fraction of the appreciation I have for my parents, Carolyn Shaak, and Larry Graham, this project was from start to finish an ode to their impact. 

The singles ‘’11’ and ‘‘24’ are out on the 2nd and 9th May, ahead of the full album release on 16th May 2025.

Artist Bio:
Laenz is a producer based in Brooklyn, NY, working within radiophonic textures and caliginous dance music. Her work explores the sonification of indeterminate spaces, saturating abstract musical forms with intensely tender and personal observations. She uses vocals, radio equipment, and live processing in her performances, sonifying unknowable sounds into unsuspecting ears. She holds a Lot residency, and has released projects under Woozy, Early Reflex, Dance Data, and more.
