KMRU is a star in the making. In 2020, the Kenyan artist released three LPs – 'Peel', 'Jar' and 'Opaquer' – with the former landing via Viennese experimental imprint Editions Mego. All three releases – plus last month’s album, 'Logue' – signal an artist with a clear focus and boundless vision. 

Given his compelling approach to composition and arrangements, we thought we’d tap Kamaru for a specialist mix devoted to the sort of leftfield, experimental and ambient sounds he’s been quietly fashioning into something that sounds entirely unique to him. Kamaru’s mix showcases an array of tracks produced by Black artists from Africa, and the diaspora.

KMRU plays Intonal Festival 2021, which runs from 16–20 June.

“Life starts to look like one great big
movie, and you are the unmoved Witness watching the show. Happiness
arises, you witness it; joy arises, you witness it; pain arises, you witness
it; sorrow arises, you witness it. In all cases, you are the Witness, and
not some passing surface wave of silly sound and fury. At the center of
the cyclone, you are safe. A deep and inward peace begins to haunt you;
you can no longer manufacture turmoil with quite the same conviction.
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t feel desire, hurt, pain, joy, happi¬
ness, suffering, or sorrow. You can still feel all of those; they just don’t
convince you. Again, it’s like being at the movies. Sometimes you get so
caught up in what is happening on screen that you forget it’s just a
movie. At a thriller, you might actually become frightened; at a romance,
you might start crying. Then your friend leans over and says. Hey,
lighten up, it’s just a movie, it’s not real! And you snap out of it.” - ken wilber 1996

DC Promo Tracks: Time Synthesis "Wayne" (Estimulo's Ambient Pass)

Forms in Motion marks the debut release from Earthbound Recordings, a new label founded by producer Mihail P as a home for deep, transportive electronics. Active since 2016 and known for releases on labels such as Seventh Sign Recordings, Verdant, Distant Worlds, Magnonic Signals, Propersound, and Nebulae, Mihail P launches this new chapter with a four-track EP that pays homage to the 90s UK techno and Detroit lineage.

“Millenium” sets the tone with layered pads and cosmic momentum, nodding to 7th Plain. “Echo Drift” fuses crisp electro rhythms with spacious melodic detail, while “Green Route” reflects the melodic introspection of Likemind Records. The closer, “Shape Without Form”, dives into abstract territory with glimmers of early AFX.

“It’s been a dream to form my own label for years,” says Mihail P. “This felt like the right time to create a space for timeless music that doesn’t chase trends.”

Earthbound’s first step—grounded in memory, aimed at the beyond.
