As accomplished producers, Session Victim have been intent on delivering a characteristic body of work for uninterrupted play. With ‘Needledrop’, Session Victim have landed with significant inspiration from the lavishly textured and subtly layered jazz and soul compositions that found their way into late 90’s trip hop. Fusing an array of live instrumentation and organic melody, ‘The Pain’ incorporates electronic touches whilst skillfully holding intact a chugging groove, bringing listeners on a hypnotic journey complimented by an echoed soothing vocal sample.

“‘The Pain’, which we wrote at Hauke’s place in Berlin, was one of the last tracks on the album to come together. Right from the start this one had a different vibe that we felt was an essential piece to the overall record, channelling something more serious and urgent but ultimately uplifting” – Session Victim

Directed by Peter Malla, the accompanying video offers a visual representation for the context of the track. Delivering an intimate and cinematic piece shot across London containing an ever-pressing theme and sense of perseverance, optimism and gaining strength through adversity and pain.

“The story follows an injured skateboarder as he struggles through the process of healing. Through his physical impairment, his other senses become heightened, bringing a strengthened awareness and grounding, highlighted in the garden scenes. What he gains from his experience, ultimately builds him into a stronger skateboarder, once he’s back on the board” - Peter Malla

German duo Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling, are no strangers to releasing quality, long-format albums. Whilst riding through a discerning community of DJs, the pair have previously released three albums on tastemaker label ‘Delusions Of Grandeur’ culminating in 2017’s ‘Listen To Your heart’. 

‘Needledrop’ is their fourth studio album and is set for release on ‘Night Time Stories’, the London based sister label to the coveted ‘LateNightTales’. The release marks a notable shift towards the downtempo dynamic of fellow masters of the LP format, such as Nightmares on Wax and DJ Shadow, artists that have played a strong influence in Session Victim’s varied output over the last decade.

@kindredmusicsa, hails from Johannesburg and currently resides in Cape Town. A dynamic artist, Kindred is a singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who experiments in multiple genres but is best known for specializing in Deep-Electronic.

Kindred was born from a need to turn emotion into frequency — to give form to the invisible. After years of writing and performing acoustically, McKai discovered electronic music not as technology, but as alchemy — a way to fuse human vulnerability with precision and sound design. Every track became a translation of feeling, every mix a form of communication beyond words. His music doesn’t just exist to be heard — it exists to be felt.

His sonic journey began with acoustic instruments, mastering piano and guitar, and grew into a lifelong fascination with how tone, texture, and rhythm can move people. The result is a sound that feels both human and digital — a rich tapestry influenced by rock, reggae, soul, jazz, and electronic music. Each piece reflects his belief that every frequency carries emotion, and every emotion deserves sound.

Since 2020, Kindred has been running @pocketfoodaudio, a record label and mix series dedicated to deep electronic music. He has a prolific output with multiple releases on various labels, showcasing his versatility and commitment to his craft.

Kindred has collaborated with notable artists such as @musa-malibe on the @deepstitched-1 label for the track “Glimpse Of Light”, and with @bientami on @pocketfoodaudio for the track “Wanting You.” In 2022, he formed a duo with @vicmarick known as @mythofficialwav, resulting in a well-acclaimed 10-track album titled “Mystery Project.”

Kindred has also released multiple singles, EPs, and featured on various compilations. Some of his defining tracks include “Open Your Mind,” “Foresight,” “Vertigo,” and “Velvet Bliss.”

Kindred’s work is an exploration of connection, memory, and emotion through sound. His creative ethos is simple yet powerful: “Every track becomes a translation of feeling, every mix a form of communication beyond words.” Each performance, mix, and release contributes to a larger narrative — a myth about finding clarity through chaos, light through resonance, and truth through vibration.

Kindred Music SA continues to innovate and push the boundaries of electronic music, establishing himself as a significant figure in the deep electronic landscape. In every note and every beat, his dedication to sonic storytelling is evident. His journey is a testament to the transformative power of sound — an invitation to step into a world where frequencies become feelings, and emotion becomes timeless.
