Blume, emerging from the vibrant tapestry of South America's electronic music scene, has now made Europe her second home. After spending five formative years in Amsterdam, she has chosen Berlin, the pulsating heart of artistic expression, as her latest base.

Establishing her online record store, Format Wars, in 2019, and hosting and curating associated pop-up events, she is a DJ whose deconstructed club-centric sound moves inwards from the peripheries of dance music. With sets that are unlimited and freeform, finding inspiration through the sonic qualities she treasures, Blume embraces a broad dynamic that is as heavy in bass and energetic as it is ghostly, glitchy, and atmospheric.

Adding polyrhythms, broken beats, and jungle influences to a sound that seamlessly transitions between dreamy ambient and experimental jazz, Blume's sets are an adventurous exploration of tempo and texture. A familiar face in clubs like Berghain, Tresor, and OHM in Berlin, as well as at events such as co:clear in Glasgow, ADE in Amsterdam, and the esteemed Positive Education festival in Saint-Étienne, Blume also makes her mark online on NTS, Rinse FM, and Refuge Worldwide. In addition, she hosts a bi-monthly radio show on Noods called The Otherness.

Assuming the role of a fully independent DJ, freelance art director, and record shop proprietor, Blume is first and foremost a student of sound. As Format Wars makes inroads to becoming a physical location in 2024, she is dedicating her studies and research further afield to emerging production technologies, generative tools, and Max for Live devices.

With Blume’s stylistic approach, intrepid sound, and quality aesthetic already allied with an international reputation of labels, radios, and local crews, it’s clear the artist’s creative expression, entrepreneurial instinct, and synergism are poised for the future ahead.

Genre-fluid mental mix/events series exploring consciousness through sounds.

Most of the time, I play trippy, unstructured rhythms, dub-influenced,  and textural techno and bass tracks. Otherwise, I spin whatever I like

Casting enchanting psychedelia and other ancestral spells

"Distinct, coldly, calmly distinct, fell those few simple sounds within my ear, and thence, like molten lead rolled hissingly into my brain."

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
