We knew of Kiwi as a DJ through the Durrr parties, but were properly introduced to his music when Daniel Avery sent it to us and immediately fell in love with it.

South London based Kiwi (Alex Warren) has pulled all the stops out over the last 6 months. With releases lined up on Kitsuné, Needwant and Deep Shit as well as on our humble outfit. As a resident at the Nest in Dalston he has extended his monthly headline slot to sprawling four-hour Dj sets and this summer see’s Kiwi hitting various places across Europe, including his first appearance in Ibiza and a number of festival appearances including the Bugged Out Stage at Field Day and Stop Making Sense festival.

Kiwi has managed to create a real unique sound and vibe by mixing ingredients of all the genre he loves, from disco, funk and techno.

EP opener, "Guanako Haka", is a monster of slow mo techno, hypnotic and subtly building up over 6 minutes with whispered vocals and electro sequences interlaced over a seriously solid groove.

"Bengal" starts like a Kraftwerk record circa Autobahn period, with motorik synth cycling endlessly. A 80's synth pad and some 90's house piano stab finish to confuse you: " but when was this record made?" 
The movement within the track, and evolution of each synth line keep you on the edge when finally some Rhodes chords and dreamy patterns enrich this epic, yet intimate piece of cosmic electronica.

Back to to the dance floor with last track on the EP . "Chiroptera", with its very strong house vibe and old school drum rolls cascading over a deep bass, reminds us of It's a Fine Line at their finest, both playful and retro. 
Synths and drums play question / answer games and a strange dreamy melody escaped from a 80's sci-fi movie crossed the track all the way through. Kiwi even managed to stick in a breakdown that flirts with deep house.

And that's the beauty of that EP. So many references, so many genre quoted over three tracks without falling into cliché or vulgarisation. 
Kiwi that can showcase a real love of dance music in all its ramifications. 
This is a modern record that knows where it comes from, is conscious of its roots but manages to stay relevant while nodding at everything that inspired it and made it what it is.

Switzerland-based collective Alma Negra are back on Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings imprint with their 'Conversation' EP, featuring a title track that takes listeners on an excursion through ecstatic tribal rhythms and percussive riffs.

After their first appearance on Heist in 2017 with their standout 'Endless Summer' EP, Alma Negra turned their attention to releasing on their own self-titled label in 2018 and touring their new live show across Europe. Now they return with a collection of intricately woven deep house gems on their 'Conversation' EP, showcasing motifs that are equal bits meditative, funky, gritty and dreamy, all with a place on the dancefloor. 

The 'Conversation' EP, which comes complete with a remix by Awanto, is set for release September 17.

Exclusive: Keope - Caldo Live In The Attic (Aera Marimba Edit)

With a fresh breath of summer Aera revitalizes Keope's in autumn 2019 released track Caldo Live In The Attic. Ralf Schmidt, the northern German's real name, relies on a funky bass line and an overall organic note as the original covered that vibe with the recorded instruments, but adds the rhythmical marimba sound. The latter helps to establish an almost laid-back yet forwardly going Spanish vibe – something Aera has probably absorbed with his multiple stays on the Iberican peninsular and smoothly goes with the chords of the original, which provide as the harmonic counterpart of the aforementioned instruments and sound constructs. The Marimba Edit evokes this feel-good moments in a summer that is so different from what we've got to known or experienced, but comes in just in time when the temperat

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
