I started listening to ambient music properly during lockdown as a way of trying to heal from heartbreak as well as a coping mechanism to deal with what was going on around the world. I was pulling together playlists of tracks that made my heart sing or weep, to soundtrack my daily walks around the canals of berlin or the quiet residential area where i grew up and ended up moving back to. These playlists were the start of the sounds of healing series and my journey of digging deeper into ambient soundscapes via my refuge worldwide residency. It’s a genre that I probably would say I have the biggest emotional connection to right now, in the way that it has helped me through some really difficult times in the last four years. So it was an honour to bring this to the club space for the first time for playbody 002, a party run by some of my wonderful  friends. Sounds of healing vol. 5 is a glimpse of what I played during that after hours set, in what became one of the most beautiful settings with the lights dimmed, a candlelight by the decks, people curled up with each other on various platforms, kissing, or deep in conversation. It was touching to witness people have the same emotional reaction to the music as me; people coming up and saying how a track or artist had saved their life or that they just wanted to have this personal moment with the music, away from the conversation. It was deeply vulnerable to play some of these tracks to a group of people, some being strangers but it very much aligns with the journey I’ve been on recently. And with this mix, I’m not only sharing that moment with you but I’m bottling up this feeling and keeping it close to me forever.

sounds of healing vol. 7

artist: @ok_leave
location: montreal, canada

about this mix: In the winter I take long walks at night. On those walks I like to listen to music, breathe in the cold air, draw smiley faces in the snow that’s collecting on cars, and let my mind wander. I think this mix is what I’d like to hear on one of those walks.

about this artist: I really love idm and always have. I think it’s because that genre’s values best match what I prioritise as a dj/human: emotion, introspection, and beauty. I like to think I try to build all my sets/mixes in the likeness of a good idm track - a puzzle that comes together piece by piece and builds you a world you never knew you needed to see. 

track list: i love to share tracks, but i prefer for people to write me if they want track ids. les connect thru da music !

Aeyde Radio Mix 09 is broadcasting now, curated by series guest editor Whitney Wei.
This season’s contribution comes from KMRU, the Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist whose work is founded on intent listening. Years of attuning to the sonic layers of global landscapes have shaped his ability to construct unexpected and immersive sound environments. These have found a home in institutions and showcases such as the Barbican, Atonal, CTM, and Dekmantel.

Whenever KMRU listens to a city, he often thinks of its key note, or the prevailing tone. In Berlin, it's mostly the transportation noises. He approached his entry into the Aeyde Radio repertoire much in the same way. The track "9°C" by Whatever the Weather, the pseudonym of fellow field recording artist and friend Loraine James, sets the "old IDM vibe." Its wealth of glitches and texture draws open the curtains on the mix before voyaging into an hour of softly drifting, expansive atmospherics.
