"a reverse puzzle: starting with structure, ending in disintegration."

welcome to the abstract sonic world of seoul-via-paris dj and producer k.o.p. 32. taking us a journey through the depths of the murky underworld, the hyper minimal session flips the switch between immersive, introspective sound design and grey area influences. 

drawing from his parisian roots and his current base in seoul, this diversity of influences lends itself to k.o.p. 32’s output. his productions lean towards meticulous drum grooves and textured atmospheres spanning across deep techno, halftime, drum & bass and freetek with releases across annulled, de rio, a-biotic, metaphore industrie, de rio and qilla records. i’m completely obsessed with his productions! they’re so deep and easy to get lost in. that feeling of being neither here nor there whilst you listen, away in another world. pyramid of knowledge is another alias of k.o.p. 32 and in 2021, he embarked on a new journey, launching his own label beyond the bridge which has released records from some of our other favourites including spekki webu and gi. well worth the dig through to get to know the world that k.o.p. 32 orbits in better as well as reading our interview below : )

@fluidmatter is the DJ and producer behind our 26th mix. 

This well-rounded hour tells a full-on story that blends nostalgia with futurism. Arranged with a couple of twists to keep you on your toes.

Sinuously unfurling bass lines + heavy dub delays bring a warm and steamy feeling. Soft and silty, speedy drums layer over subtly driving low ends and ambience. Deliciously delicate pitter-patter; ethereal sass. 

Fluid Matter is a Paris-based DJ, producer, co-manager of the label @virtualforestrecords , and part of French electronic music webzine @seeksicksound . 

Two of the tracks from this set are from Virtual Forest’s extensive upcoming compilation album — so if you like what you’ve heard, stay tuned for more dropping very soon.

Obtuse Swamp's third ecosystem "Reef Stage” from Berlin based producer Ilayruni dives deep into polyrhythmic slow-mo-feeling spatial sound architectures. With a remarkable evolving narrative, the EP is a constant evolution of both rhythm and spatial soundscapes. This time french producer Arsene Martinet along with London based o.utlier and Caldera give us another perspective of the very bottom of our biome. Cannot end this ecosystem presentation with a huge mention to our beloved biome designer @fredonne delivering another 3D exploration of Obtuse Swamp.

Solma draws inspiration from the hypnotic pulse of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass music, weaving these influences into his own psychedelic sound. As the Paris-based producer and co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, he has cultivated a signature style defined by meticulous sound design that fluidly crosses genre boundaries and rates.
