BKQ ft. Nackt

Nine - A Kind of Language

I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?

Help Me

Nackt - Scheherazade (City Mix)

I warmed things up as I thought Johnny would have wanted me to. The first 15 minutes were ambient sounds which I mixed into Cherushii's deep version of Manic with Kara Marie. Nick got to F8 and plugged in the recorder around the second half of my tribute set. This was made using a pioneer mixer, 2 technic 1200s and 2 CDJ 2000s.

I had so many emotions rushing through me during this special moment. There was a red light next to the booth I would turn on everytime one of Nackt or Cherushii's tracks were being played. I'm glad I was able to honor my friends through this medium and it sounds like F8 might now keep this light in their DJ booth forever. 

You keep thinking this kind of thing will get easier with time, but it doesn't. The more I realize what the world lost, the more it hurts. I can only honor my lost friends by helping them live on through their sound. Much love to everyone, it's important we unite and support each other, and now more than ever.

In this recording:
Emotinium - Roy of the Ravers
Tolulu - S-MAX(Sergio Santos & Max Gardner) w/ Bob Five
Fortitude - Nackt
Aquila - Romans
Ratio - Orson Wells
Another Step - Dachshund
Late night theme - Kai Alce
Rudy's Party - Cherushii

The Further you Look/The Less You Will See - Omar S

Lara Sarkissian & Nihar - Ofelya

Nihar (@niharb)has been DJing and producing original music as part of the bay area electronic music scene for more than a decade. He’s been a resident of a number of legendary San Francisco DJ crews including Surface Tension, Warm Leatherette and Haçeteria. He recently founded T.V.O.D., an event series that he curates alongside Jason Polastri and the Creatrix. He’s also an affiliate of the East Bay’s renowned Club Chai collective. 

Nihar is known for high intensity DJ sets that draw from an eclectic blend of global rhythmic influences and elements. As a producer, he infuses his studio work and live performances with this same sensibility. Nihar’s first full length album, Chrysalis, was released in July 2018 on Jacktone Records. His next release is coming on NYC’s Primitive Languages label later in 2019. 

Nihar is also the co-label head (with Chris Zaldua) of Left Hand Path, which has been featured in The Wire, Resident Advisor, Fact Magazine and in other publications for it’s incredible track record of releases. Left Hand Path has a string of records coming in 2019, some of which are featured in this mix.

Honey Soundsystem Potcast

HNYPOT 346: Nihar & Russell E.L. Butler's Intersection Mix

Two club focused tracks from the archives of the San Francisco based artist, writer, and community organizer. Nihar has been instrumental in carving out space for parties that tow the line of function and experimentation on the west coast of the United States as co-founder of the SURFACE TENSION party series. Along with Chris Zaldua, Nihar also runs the Left Hand Path label, highlighting electronic anomalies and documenting challenging work in his locale. Nihar has performed worldwide in Shanghai, Osaka, and Mexico City and has been programmed into the Recombinant and Mutek festivals.

On this single sided 12", "Rumble" centers Tabla rhythms amidst syncopated and undulating drum and synth work for an uptempo club affect. "Vermillion Garden" slows things down with a more throbbing groove that uses vocal synthesis to oscillate in and out of sweaty-wall atmospherics. The record is accompanied by a text titled "Against Having a Music Industry; For a Renegade Future", an essay at once taking inventory, and leaving room for hope, amidst the perplexing times for electronic music that this record presents itself inside of.
