XLR8R Podcast 723: STL

This month, UK duo Mount Kimbie put out a double-album that is essentially two solo records welded together. It's not terribly surprising: each member lives in different countries (the hip-hop inspired Dom Maker in LA, techno head Kai Campos in London) and they've talked about their differences and what each brings to the table in past interviews. MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning splits the duo's kaleidoscopic sound into its constituent parts, with Maker's side focusing on woozy hip-hop and R&B and Campos's reflecting a love of straightforward '90s techno, as dance floor-friendly as anything the group have ever released.

It's the latter that we're here to showcase with this week's RA Podcast, which is a recording of Campos's new live set. In a way it's a more fleshed-out, comprehensive companion to the his side of the album, but it stands on its own as a blistering techno performance. Combining the melodic sense and quirky arrangement tics of Mount Kimbie with a pulsating, stripped-back approach borrowed from Detroit techno—classic drum machine sounds used to the fullest—Campos reinvents himself as one of London's best techno artists. Like the new Mount Kimbie album, it's different, welcome and impressive.

The context for this recording was sunrise at Organik festival 2017. Following directly after Steve Bicknell’s powerful and driving techno, my responsibility was to transition the party into a period of rest and recovery. Playing to an open-minded crowd in a beautiful setting allowed me to explore different moods and deliver a set that conveyed what I wanted it to. I think the recording does a good job of capturing that moment, and now feels like the right time to share it more widely. Thanks to the Smoke Machine crew for having me. – Chris SSG
