Back on air with a special guest for this sensual Sunday: Suzanne Kraft 

"Suspension, tension, clumsiness, and beauty. 
Moments of discomfort juxtaposing/culminating in satisfaction when intimate with someone or alone.
These are the kinds of themes I was thinking about when putting this mix together and that I hoped to convey with the direction of this collection of songs. Playing with the idea of an observant, or even introspective, lens through which to look at sensuality." SK

From Paris with love here comes mix 008 by Second Circle artist and friend D.K. (@d-k-music). Q&A (excerpt) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Salut Dang Khoa, welcome to our podcast series. Had a nice summer?

DK: Hey! Thanks for having me. My summer was pretty cool, I was happy to play some nice festivals and gigs in Europe. I also had a little break to go on vacation with some friends in Marseille to enjoy the sea and the South coast of France.

MFM: Speaking about summer, your music has quite an exotic touch in which melody and percussion both seem to play a pivotal role. Where does that come from? 

DK: At the very beginning, it was simply inspired by the kind of house music I was listening to. But it changed through the years. I had a period when I was into industrial stuff, and I’ve been really inspired by the textures, by that sensation of mechanical groove and how the percussions were used. It kind of lead me to listen to the roots of music, and got into ritual sounds. Regarding the melodies, I don’t know man, it’s maybe because I’ve listened to too much R’n’B when I was a teenager haha.

MFM: But you're not a trained musician in one way or another? Like, can you read notes and play keys or other instruments maybe?

DK: I played violin when i was very young at the Rennes Conservatory of music for 6 years but it was a long time ago and i didn't practice since. I still can read notes but i'm super slow when it's about to play a musical score with other instruments now.

MFM: Would you say you have a D.K. workflow when in the studio?

DK: I like to have a precise idea of what I want to do before I start, even if it’s going to change completely during the process. Also, the shape of a track will really depend on what I’m listening to at the moment. I can easily get lost sometimes, producing something that is totally different of what I’m doing but I always learn some new technics. It’s a good way to find new ideas as well. Most of the time, I work on the same loop until I’m satisfied, almost all the elements of the track have to be already present on this loop, so I can have a vision of what it’s going to look like. Then, I know it will be easy to structure, edit and finish.

MFM: Interesting, for a lot of producers making arrangements seems a tough task or annoying burden even. What's your trick?

DK: I start with the  rhythm structure then focus my work on finding the main theme of a track,  and i build everything around it. If the beat and the  hook are strong enough it's usually not a tough task to make the arrangements.

MFM: You've been putting out music not only as D.K., how come?

DK: I decided to use that 45ACP moniker to focus my work more on sound textures and beats. It was maybe more heavy and club-oriented than what I used to do as D.K.. But now, I’m trying to combine everything in one project to create more contrast in my music. I’m generally interested by the opposition of textures and sounds in music. For instance, I like to mix raw percussion parts with clean drums or melancholic cold pads with naive midi melodies.

MFM: So, what can tell us about the mix? Any specific theme behind it?

DK: It’s a collage of tracks that I’ve been listening to at home recently and some edits I’ve made, from ambient and tribal to Japanese stuff. It’s obviously not what people can expect to hear me play in a festival or club but I would say that it’s more the vibe that I’m trying to create when i’m performing live.

MFM: Last but not least, any exciting news you'd like to share?

DK: I’m wrapping up my next Ep at the moment, it will be the third volume of my trilogy dedicated to club music on Antinote. I also have a release to come out soon on 12th Isle, and a couple of remixes.

E2E: What environment or context did you have in mind when recording the mix?

I noticed that all the Ear 2 Ear mixes had a particular theme so before I was even asked to contribute to the series, I had a particular theme in mind for it - if I ever got asked to contribute that is. The theme I chose was music for stargazing. Which brings me back memories to some of the most special and spiritual experiences I've had with my closest friends. I wanted to create a mix of music that suited the environment we found ourselves in. A group of us alone, set on a beach with the ocean washing the sand as we lay there staring into the open sky. The stars twinkling as the air sung in the background, all of us in a complete state of relaxation, losing all sense of self, transcending and connecting as one, with each other and with the earth itself.

E2E: Tell us a bit about your new Body Corp alias, have you got any new work coming up?

Body Corp is I guess an outlet for more electronic/dance music that I write. I’m currently working on finishing another 2 EPs mainly and always just working on new tracks, especially during this time while there’s more of it. One of the EPs is a follow up to the first release with Soothsayer and the other is in its early stages and a bit more relaxed, less for the dance floor and more for listening at home. That one is a work in progress so we’ll see where it goes.. シ
