Kia (live) on HÖR Radio 30/08/22

As we edge nearer to our 100th mix, we seek to Berlin for textural techno melodies from dutch producer and DJ Konduku aka Ruben Üvez. Having graced some of our favorite labels like Donato Dozzy's Spazio Disponibile, Nous'Klaer, Delsin, Midgar and more, Üvez has become a maestro in layering UK techno stylings with a European flavour, finding that perfect balance between space and drums. 
His wisdom in also finding tracks of this style have become an integral part of his DJ sets being incorporated beautifully to the point of losing yourself even in the more relentless parts. A journey to say the least that very few can put you on, displaying Üvez's approach that could be comparable to that of modern greats like Batu and Donato Dozzy. And that is what Konduku has done here on Phonica 99. Recorded live from a Midgar party in Berlin recently that transports you to that time and moment so alluringly, we have a chat to Üvez more about the concept and where his head was at during this set.

Phonica Mix Series 99: Konduku

Hailing all the way from the central mountains of Colombia, Lopar ( @lopar_music ) brings deep and luscious sounds from the city of Manizales. A talented DJ in many genres, he navigates a range of styles and moods from ambient, dub and minimal to  deep & hypnotic techno & dnb. 

He began his career as a professional DJ in 2015 at Academia Decibel (Intelligent Division) in Medellin, Colombia and now is involved in local efforts as part of the "Natural" collective in Manziales to bring like-minded sounds and artists to the city, playing alongside talents like Anthony Linell & Polygonia.

Thanks so much for this lovely mix! <3

I am really excited to share the next Deep Mind Music mix, made by my good friend Amphybian (fka Harry). Over the course of nearly two hours, Amphybian takes us on a wistful and mysterious journey, balancing density and effervescence in a slowly evolving and thoughtfully programmed narrative ☁️🕊️

The first half of the mix takes us up through thick clouds into flight above the earth, providing a vast sense of scale and a humbling perspective. I felt as if I was soaring through the stratosphere, at once both infinite and infinitesimal. As the mix unfolds, mossy carpets of drones and fluttering arpeggios carry us across a limitless expanse, thoughts and details slipping in and out of focus as we spiral inwards 🌀

In the second half of the mix, moments of joy give way to moments of sorrow, coiling into quiet eddies of emotion. The density of sounds slowly evaporate away into more subtle sonic touches and muted colours. I see a wet woodland after rainfall, a dust mote peeking through darkened branches, and the trickling of dewdrops on my skin.

As the mix concludes, and we gently ascend to wakefulness, I’m left with the blissful feeling of a misty sunrise after a darkened dawn. As the evenings grow dark, trees turn, and the air chills, this mix provides the perfect soundtrack for the seasonal shift to introspection 🌙🤍🍂

Some words from Amphybian about the mix:

A dream...

“…an optical image that had disappeared into his consciousness, been absorbed by memory..."

Hyperterranean #013 with Agonis

Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Patterns of Perception 102 - A Walking Contradiction

Last week, Malaysian born @differentshadess warmed up the main stage of Harmony’s 8th anniversary with a melting-mind opening set. She is best known for her precise mixing that waves through genre-bending selections. 

Jumping back to that moment, she recorded an excerpt that catches her essence, musical spectrum & energy that radiates through her own sounds.

A set full of high-tech sounds, psychedelic rhythms and deep atmospherics. 

Dive in & get lost.

We have been eager to share this new chapter of our Podcast Series with you for a little while. It comes courtesy of the Basel-based Timnah Sommerfeldt, the empress of all things occult and hypnotic in the realm of electronica 🔮

Part of the well-respected amenthia recordings crew, co-host of Home Radio she runs together with Garçon and a resident at Elysia ~ arguably one of the most loved clubs in Europe ~ Timnah is a well seasoned DJ with strong sensibility in navigating the the deeper, headier waters of techno and atmospheric bass 💫

Timnah’s introspective contribution is a perfectly balanced blend of deep, aqueous drones and murky downtempo carving out and holding space for the patiently emerging stormy rhythms taking the reins for most part in the second half of the mix. Time to brace yourselves for a one way journey into the maelstrom. Safe travels, friends 🌝🌚

The recording of my set at Paral·lel Festival 2022 🌲⛰🧡 @parallelfestival

I was on 12.30-14.30 on Saturday afternoon. When I started playing, grey hazy clouds were still drifting across the panorama from Friday night’s storm, and by the end of my set, the sun was shining down on all of us.

This set meant a great deal to me, and being gifted the task of drifting from ambient expansion into trippy rhythms, coaxing everyone up off the floor and into movement, was such a dream.

Hope you enjoy this memory from an amazing weekend in those magical mountains 🧚✴️
