Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU (@kamarujoseph), is a sound artist and experimental ambient musician, raised in Nairobi, Kenya, and currently based in Berlin. Recent years have seen KMRU find a place amongst the most stirring voices within the experimental music space, courtesy of his distinctive usage and combination of field recordings, noise, ambient textures and expansive hypnotic drones. 
A luminous presence within the scene, KMRU has garnered critical acclaim not only for releases on the likes of @warp-records, @editionsmego and @subtext-recordings, but also for his live performances, which have seen him take the stage at high-profile events across Europe and the globe.

KMRU’s Patterns of Perception 105 is a poised and evocative passage which floats gracefully between delicate instrumentation, melodic phrasing and abstract ambient textures. Sparked by recent inspirations and experiences, this indelible set embraces peace, stillness and vibrance in equal measure, coming together as a carefully divined tapestry - meditative and shimmering.

Patterns of Perception 105 - KMRU

Translucid [Myriad, Mjut, Modular Gang, Leipzig]

Recorded by Matthias Schubert
Mastered by Translucid/XAOS

Translucid [Radio 80000 x Transmute Sessions @ Remoto Records]

I turned 30 the 09/09/22 and was heading to one of the best summer gathering, Sarcus Festival.
I played the day after surrounded by many friends & artists I like. 

I prepared this set for almost 2 months because I wanted it to be like a retrospective of the path I walked in electronic music during the past 13 years. 
I tried to include as much tracks of the different styles I grew up with with the things I discovered at that time that I really felt like playing at a 6-9pm slot.
A couple of months after the festival, the file I was sent was corrupted, with just a little click at the beginning. One of my USB sticks was near the end so the history folder was messy and I tried to remember my set as I played it. Since I prepared almost 75% of it, it was quite easy.

I recorded it nearly 6 months after this moment on a sunny morning, and I'm happy to finally sharing it with the world.

You'll find in here loads of lazers, zaps, wizzes, noises and probably an unreasonable use of DJM's dub echo.

Big shout out to the Sarcus Team and to all people who made this journey go the way it went.

8/10 Sad Dream

This is the story of an ending.
This is the story of a new beginning.

Let me explain something to you first:
One sad day, I begged to fall asleep.
But listen carefully to the melody played by the handpan. It's what my brain created with my sadness and anxiety.
I woke up and wrote this melody.
Not bad, Brainy.

But the truth is, I can't stand hearing this song anymore. Simply because it's the feeling of deep sadness I've been feeling for... months.

Not just because it's heartbreaking, because it's a profound state of existence I'm experiencing.

Do you remember the last words on the tracks from Through the Darkness?

The worst part of hell isn't the flames, it's the despair.

And in a world completely crazy, in a world where I can't be with the only person I've ever loved, I've lost my mind.

Now, I'm deeply changing myself into a

Now, I'm deeply changing myself into a better version, but I can only do it for one reason: You.
Please, take my hand for the rest of my life, I'm deeply in love with you, I'm devoted to you.
