Stepping up with our last mix of the year comes Dub Athlete out of Brighton, UK with a really deep and thoughtful mix across the spectrum of soundsystem music. Really loved the journey on this one!

"There is a lot we experience that we often cannot find the words to communicate. Music can bridge and fill these language voids to provide an outlet of expression and a vessel to communicate those experiences with each other... In this journey mix I started by exploring a tribal trippy aesthetic with dubbed-out ambient techno that progress into heavier cuts. The mood then burrows down into deeper emotive territory, ascending in BPM to sparse minimal breaks and d&b. The tension steadily builds but there is light at the end of the tunnel and the mix reaches a peak of energy, breaking out into euphoric jungle before reducing pace to reach its final destination.


I really lost myself in this one! I hope it is as cathartic for listeners as it was for me to record it x"

Next up in the series we have Brighton based 'Fortune Sessions' founder and 'The Mine' resident @dub_athlete with a 2 hour texturally deep exploration through dreamy ambient, percussive techno & darker bass-heavy cuts.

A beautiful journey showcasing her versatility as a DJ, thank you Sophie <3

Firstly, thanks to Dj wiggles for the opportunity to contribute to the Kinetic series <3

The mix is experimental and long-form, exploring ambient meditative selections as well as darker bass-heavy and textured tracks from across the bpm spectrum, with several tracks warped far from their original bpm. The pace, mood and energy fluctuate. Some tracks emerge quickly, like intrusive thoughts or distractions, others are  given more time to breathe merging into the mix more subtly. This reflects the often unpredictable and challenging nature of losing and regaining a sense of presence and control. The mix has a symbolic cyclical nature, returning to particular percussive sounds and motifs as it progresses. 

Many philosophies motivate me to DJ including the belief everything is connected to the collective and sound exists at that intersection, it is a universally connecting force that exists at the boundaries where mind and body meet the world. All creative practices are intrinsically informed by the personal experiences of their creator/s. This imbues them with narrative and gives them the potential for human connection at these boundaries. 

The title of the mix “decompression” alludes to the pursuit of emotive release. It is a response to life at present - from harrowing world events, to personal challenges and introspection. I hope people enjoy and connect with it, perhaps finding some peace of mind by its end.

I started the Fortune Sessions nights in 2019. Before then I threw a lot of house parties. When I had to move into a house unsuitable for big gatherings I began looking for a venue. 

The Fortune of War is a venue located on Brighton beach. It has an intimate dance floor space indoors for winter events and then a big outdoor space for parties in summer. It’s well-loved by locals, with a friendly and laid-back vibe. For a grassroots night it felt like the perfect fit. 

The first session went well but then Covid hit just before the second event was due to happen. I was disappointed but it gave me time to develop the aim and concept behind the events. I also acquired a better sound system to power them. The second session finally took place in March 2022 and two years on I’m preparing for the 15th!

The Fortune Sessions have always had a multi-genre format with a commitment to diversity behind the decks, and a low-key unpretentious vibe. The venue being a pub rather than a club means that the events draw a crowd of dedicated ravers as well as people just out for a good time. Not everyone who enjoys dance music vibes with the club environment, so I’m glad to be able to platform niche genres in an unintimidating space to a wider audience. The nights being free entry also means its more accessible, giving the opportunity for new musical discovery. On a few occasions I’ve been asked “what IS this music??” by people on the dancefloor.

CONVERSATION - Live @ Fawa (Entrance - 17 - 02 - 24)

On July 20th at Laut Barcelona, we had the pleasure of hosting keat from Lisbon for the first time in Spain—one of the new gems of Portuguese Techno. As a producer and DJ, his set undoubtedly electrified the dance floor, keeping everyone moving energetically until the very end. Enjoy the set once again, whether you missed it due to vacation or were there and requested it. Enjoy!
