James K - 1080˚

In very loose terms, James K's (@jamesk_1) music operates at the fringes of the pop world. It is experimental and industrial, packed with hooks and riddled with dreamy textures that show off her mastery of synths. She has released it in album form with Dial and Incenso, dropped EPs on AD 93 and collaborated with the likes of Drew McDowall and Stefan Maie, and always manages to imbue her adventurous arrangements with real-world emotions and anxieties. This year she will join us at Dekmantel Festival but not before serving up this week's podcast.

It's the sort of rhythmically thrilling workout that has always stood James apart: jittery drum patterns and kinetic grooves that unfold at 100 miles an hour as a barrage of caustic motifs, hypnagogic melodies and hyper-real colours all bounce about the mix. There is an ever-present sense of tension in the way things are assembled - it's as if they might implode or explode at any minute, and it all sounds fantastically futuristic.

Micro Dubs with K Wata @ The Lot Radio 10-14-2025

Our next mix comes from Montreal’s enigmatic DJ Frog. Dusty loops and crushed grooves are the highlight of this Doo Records mainstay. Her selections and productions flutter between the minimalist zones of house and dubby techno. It takes in a whole host of unreleased material from Cheeks, Hashman DJ and sometime studio collaborator SnP 500 and stays resolutely buried in swampy sonics and swirling dub undercurrents. Subtlety is key to how moods are built up, then fade away. There are no big moments, just a slow teasing of tension that grows ever more irresistible.

PACIFIC MODE mix series 004 is legendary and PM’s favorite, Loidis (aka Huerco S.) (@huerco_s), the head of west mineral ltd making an appearance.
This is a recording of opening set from May PACIFIC MODE. He perfectly set the mood of the party and his signature deep but also elegant minimal sound resonated with the crowd.
Please check out before his upcoming Asia/Australia including PM in Tokyo.

PACIFIC MODE mix series 004はレーベルwest mineral ltdのヘッドで、レジェンドかつPMに何度も出演しているアーティスト Loidis (aka Huerco S.)(@huerco_s)になります。
このミックスは5月のPMのオープニングセットです。オープンの時間帯を完璧なムードにセットし、彼の特徴的であるディープかつ鮮やかなミニマルサウンドはクラウドに響きました。
10月にWWWで開催されるPACIFIC MODEから始まる、アジア・オーストラリアツアーを目前に控えた彼のミックスをぜひチェックして欲しい。
