Ambient & experimental 24/7: www.cultkitchen.radio

For the 50th edition of the podcast, we are proud to present a beautiful art piece by @r_mina. Armina is our good old friend, with whom we began our exploration of ambient and experimental music back in the day at the legendary @arma17. The team from the @do-nothing promo group decided to transform the main Gallery dancefloor into a non-dance space with experimental music, marking the beginning of a whole new world. We are honoured to feature someone from that very world, especially for this anniversary edition.

After more than a decade immersed on the dancefloor, R_Mina has stepped behind the decks and into the studio, translating years of raving into a distinct sonic identity. Shaped by formative nights at institutions like Arma17, Berghain and Tresor, her sound draws from the raw power of warehouse techno, channelled through a deeply personal lens.

Her debut ambient set unfolds like a memory—brooding, cinematic, and quietly intense. With a palette of melancholic textures and submerged melodies, R_Mina weaves together a narrative of longing and introspection, a meditation on the beauty found in shadow and silence. Blending deep, dark, anxious and pensive tracks, her ambient set brims with nostalgia and reflections of shadows from the past.

Ambient set september 2025

This was the audio used for my final MA project, as it was given as a live performance. I am planning to rework some of these tracks to work better as an album listen.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
