Recording cut from the Dunkeltier & friends night at Sameheads 22.12.2023 opening-set by analog-vinyl-sync-wizard and @reachanothersystem label-boss @niklas_wille

Dunkeltier & friends celebrated the “Dunkeltier macht Spaß” EP (barely arrived at stores - already close to SOLD-OUT) on Reach Another System. 

The RAS crew – that is Jenne, Klingberg and Niklas Wille; based in Frankfurt, Basel and Berlin. They are active for years as organizers of concerts & parties in Freiburg and at the legendary Griesmühle, Berlin. Under this brand they also run a record label for new new wave. They curated the first half of the night with a dose of obscure dance and non-dance music.

Dunkeltier macht Spaß!

Niklas Wille – live DJ cut – Dunkeltier & Friends @ Sameheads – 22.12.2023

Cloaked in his immutable den, sonic dweller Marius Georgescu evokes haunting soundscapes that trigger distorted colours of thought.

Often described as "kind of Enigmatic", in a shocking coincidence, recent rumor has it that he is the unwanted son of Michael Cretu (aka Enigma).

Beneath a horizon that is forever out of reach, Marius unveils uncharted sonic territories through his Youtube channel that keeps growing out of proportion.

♾ De Kat Memwa #53 w/ Andrea Ida ♾

Track ID: @ae-ida

Embarking on the new calendar season of De Kat Memwa with a guest I've been eagerly anticipating. There's always been an imaginary roster of creators in my mind that I'd be thrilled to host in the series. Vienna-based artist Andrea Ida has long been on this list, but somehow, due to my own negligence, I couldn't get in touch with her. Finally, I managed to correct this glaring mistake.

I recall stumbling upon Andrea's mixes somewhere around 2019, and I was absolutely mesmerized. Nearly every corner of the sonic internet space was filled with tropical sounds, which we were also cultivating at that time. However, Andrea stood out among music enthusiasts with her love for krautrock, punk, NDW, and other dark arts and matters.

I deeply admire individuals with diverse musical interests who can showcase a wide array of genres in their mixes, while evoking a specific emotion or association. Andrea is precisely one of those musical weavers. Her mixes are comprised of different nodes and intertwinings that form a unified masterpiece.

For me, her works are always about active listening, surprise, inspiration, and most importantly, immersion in sound, transitioning from one state to another, and also about charisma and daily protest against routines. And this unique release, recorded by Andrea specifically for De Kat Memwa, is no exception.

As I was crafting this text, I wanted to encapsulate the impression of listening to the mix in the form of a metaphor. Perhaps it was obvious to write something about an esoteric shamanic ritual.... But not today... 

For me, this mix is akin to riding on Falcor the Luck Dragon from the movie The NeverEnding Story, only you're not a teenager anymore, but an adult!

The mix is, as always, available on De Kat Memwa's SoundCloud, link in the profile description!
 

Postscript: The mix number is 53, and 5+3=8=♾.

Draw your own conclusions, but nothing is accidental in our world of narratives and simulacra!

De Kat Memwa #53 w/ Andrea Ida

Episode 72 is an archival dive into the audio works of Kyoto based multi-media collective Dumb Type. Founded in 1984 by Teiji Furuhashi the group’s work includes exhibitions, performances, video pieces, computer programs, print publications, and conceptual audio albums. Furuhashi, who passed in 1995, claimed the name represents “a society overstuffed with information but cognizant of nothing.” The group continues under the stewardship of longtime members Toru Yamanaka and Shiro Takatani. Over the years many artists have collaborated with the collective including Ryoji Ikeda and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Dumb Type’s work addresses a variety of socio-political themes including nationality, identity, communication, AIDS, civilization, media control, and explores the undefined borders of the information society for new visions of human / technological interaction. The pieces on this mix were selected from 4 decades of work including demo versions, interviews, performance soundtracks, archival sketches, and a few stunning solo pieces from Toru Yamanaka. 

Special thanks to my friend Michael Klausman for tipping me off about Yamanaka’s Bandcamp page where he’s being releasing incredible compilations surveying the group’s audio archive.

Past Forward #89 with Nikolas Kampfmann

Going further into one's psyche, taking a deep breath, eyes closed, watching those flashes within the dark lights become vivid colours. The visions slowly turning into fractals whilst exploring the unknown. These diffracted sights are nothing but your inner reflections, they are within all of us it just depends how far you can look or see. The same process occurs whilst listening to sound, be it here or anywhere else. Listen carefully and try hearing the music within. Whether you are here or there the road to bliss is never too far.
