They say that you need to understand the rules before you can break them. If that's true, @toma-kami is a true sage of rhythm. The Paris-based artist and Man Band label boss defies convention each time he drops a new 12" or one of his famously physical DJ mixes. He bends and toys with drums and bass, twisting and turning them through the worlds of house, techno, breaks, juke and club to come up with something thrillingly fresh and hard to define.

Toma will join us at Dekmantel Selectors in August, but before that comes this week's mix. It is a masterfully controlled but edge-of-your-seat ride through all those sounds and more. At times they are piled up on top of each other to the point of collapse, at others they are teased apart and drawn out to hypnotic effect. These are supple but muscular and physical sounds that make you want to bend every bone in your body in pure appreciation of Kami's unique rhythmic gymnastics.

A crunchy club-ready mix from Berlin-based producer Aroent who exercises his approach to improvisation featuring tracks from Leese, Splash Pattern, Forest Drive West, Bluetoof, Amaliah and more. 

Speaking about the mix, Aroent says, "This mix is mostly inspired by the club nights I've been doing lately and driven by my attempt to redefine my thoughts on club music. Quite a lot of variety in my opinion, some ups and downs that I've been really enjoying lately, less thinking and more improvisation than usual in my mixes."

Aroent is a Thessaloniki-born and Berlin-based producer and DJ. Since 2020, he has released 'Say' EP on Infinite Machine including a Ploy remix, 'Eleese' EP on Awkwardly Social and a contribution on Athens UHD compilation on Trial&Error. With support from the likes of Ben UFO, Mor Elian, Rhyw, Gramrcy, BBC 6 Music, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and more, Aroent has guested on shows such as NTS with Martha and Rinse France with Background and DJ Absurd.

Influences:
producers who use their DAW to spawn and grow inconceivable organisms, or build and sculpt vast architectures. artists whose music helps you engage with your body with pure openness. artists who make music to excavate things out of themselves. artists who write music that reflects their world (inside or outside) at you. music that carries memories and sensations with me that would be otherwise lost. working musicians who break the borders between practices, cultures, and industries. people who invent new genres by djing, throwing parties, and starting labels. djs who understand how rhythm affects the body. djs who throw away established definitions about music and come up with their own. ravers who throw away their pretensions, exercise care and show love to their peers, and put unbridled energy into the music.

Favorite Quote:
a wise man carrying a comically oversized mug once told me, "this community will give you everything, but eventually you have to give it all back."

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
take the time to think about what you really want to do with your work, and pursue it unapologetically. but as you get more and more from the community, think about what you're doing to pay it back by supporting and uplifting others. try to learn when to make sacrifices in your commitments/presence in the community for your artmaking, homemaking, and personal wellness. try to learn when to do the opposite. show up for your friends and the people who inspire you. it's never the wrong time to take a beat, consider how you're taking up space, and consider the effect you have/could have on the people around you. if you don't get booked too often, always show up early and stay late when you do. whatever you do, hold yourself accountable to push your craft as far as you possibly can - all of us doing that is what keeps the community alive.

With this mix sobolik asks to please learn more about and consider donating to: 
trans people are under an unprecedented attack in the US national/state legislatures. help orgs fighting this legislation in your state, and help orgs that work to help trans people survive and thrive amid a deeply violent social and political reality.

Due to an artist cancellation, Italian-Ivorian producer and DJ and Nervous Horizon associate Ehua was added at the very last minute to the Unsound 2022 lineup – but she did not disappoint! Ehua played in the early hours of the morning at an Unsound club night, and now you can relive her set, an emotionally-charged dark slow-fast jam with blissful melodic bursts.
