Born and raised in New York but now transplanted to Berlin, @gabriellekwarteng has quickly become a Panorama Bar regular known for her eclectic radio shows. The move to Europe widened the scope of her DJ sets which tend to be high energy and punchy with plenty of techno, while on the airwaves she is likely to serve up a mix of boogie, Afro-disco, and neo-soul. That broad approach no doubt stems from growing up in the musical melting pot that is the Bronx, but also from childhood summers - and later a year studying abroad - in London. Add in a desire to champion the classic Black American genres and you have the foundations of the Kwarteng sound. 

All this is reflected in this week's mix which traverses global genres with effortless enthusiasm. Hefty bass cuts and weighty rhythms build into acid-tinged workouts, sounds of the diaspora spread across the course of 70 minutes and energy levels drop even when the mood changes. It's a great snapshot of a DJ at ease with worldly sounds and the ability to thread them all together into a communal dance floor experience.

A personal memory of the set is playing more than 3 closing tracks, as the crowd and stage manager were craving for more.

PARAMIDA - Awakenings Upclose 2024

DJ set, recorded live on 17 Aug 2024 in Oslo for Harmony Rec label techno-focused night

Xiaolin @ Harmony Rec label night, Oslo 17/08/2024 (live recorded)

i decided to share another little end-of-year present after having been withdrawn for a while. this one is an emotional one for me. when different parts of life collide all at once, your chronic illness flares up, and you still have to perform at one of the greatest booths, the only way to get through is by going on full autopilot.
I was in pain, unable to fully enjoy the sound experience, and felt like I had no control over myself. 
however, after listening back to the live recording, I was pleasantly surprised and relieved. the track selection unintentionally reflected my emotional and physical state at the time, and I felt proud of myself for putting all of that into the music. nothing was planned - it all happened naturally, in the flow.
so here it is: end-of-year present no. 2 - a part of my live recording from the annex floor at open ground last summer, next to the legends calibre & breakage hosted by sp:mc at the freifeld floor.

i won't make any promises, but there might be another one coming up... <3
