Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

______________________________
Growing up in. Frankfurt , Andre was exposed to the sounds from Kraftwerk , Nucleus , Soul Sonic Force, Kurtis Blow and PAC Jam just to name a few from his late Father Randy Morales who was a dj from Hells Kitchen NY.  Every Friday night Andre’s father would religiously mix music and this was the beginning of Andre’s journey. 
     By the age of 9 while living on the island of Crete , Andre’s father brought him with to a local discotech as his mother was out of town and leaving him home was not an option. It was at then that Andre became interested in learning how to mix records all because of the pure joy he saw on his fathers face as he was behind the dj booth. 
     It would not be very long after this experience that Andre turned 10 and his father would  start to teach the basics of djing . 
     Fast forward to Christmas 1993 now living in Tampa ,Florida . Andre recieved his first Mixer a Gemini Scratch Master and was extatic to be able to use his fathers Denon cd players from Europe with the +\- pitch adjust but was denied as his father said that it would be turntables that would be what Andre would have to start on. 
This was 31 years ago almost to the date of writing this . 
     Fast forward to the late 90s where Andre would quite frequently visit the local record store Painted Puppy so much that he was offered a job. This was during a very incredible time for the music scene in Florida and at the age of 18 , Dre was opening for legendary DJs like Rick West , Icey , Fixx, RFresh , and Dj Magic Mike just to name a few . 
     Long story short this has always been a passion for Andre and it has never become a way to make money because then it would be considered a job. With many cool experiences through out the years he helped start the Krime Fyter brand with his good friends from back in the 7th grade days Cedrac and Abed Pompa believed in his vision of bringing together Hio Hop and electronic music around 2012.

CHP Mix Sessions [034] - Andre Elektro

Another Barker masterclass.

Sam Barker asks more from techno. The artist known simply as Barker is one of electronic music's most consistently conscientious and curious producers, challenging listeners to question the norms we accept about our shared culture—whether it's the music that fills the room, the process behind it, or the purpose of the space itself.

British-born yet based in Berlin since 2007, Barker forged a connection to many of the city's leading institutions, including Ostgut Ton, and over the course of a long and fruitful relationship, he carved out one of the more singular paths on the club and label's roster.

Not one for orthodoxy, Barker challenged four-to-the-floor techno framework in favor of melodic experimentation. By decentering or completely stripping away the typical trappings of kick drums and claps, his productions are both light and immersive, buoyant in low-end presence and shimmering in weightless space.

Six years after Utility, his sophomore album Stochastic Drift arrives this month. Shaped by pandemic-driven reinvention, it burrows deeper into harmonic twists and freeform drift. "At some point I became conscious of the process," he wrote of his latest album. "The only thing you can do is embrace the uncertainty and see every change as a potential positive.”

Consider his RA Podcast another sequel. Like his much-beloved 2019 mix for FACT, it's a collage of live recordings and a fitting expression of the artist's own internal spring. RA.982 radiates wide-eyed optimism: percussion cloaked in foggy, swirling pads and trance-like chords, neatly synched in synthetic glimmers. 

All in all, it's an hour of music crafted for contemplation, collective euphoria, or heads-down epiphany—or for that matter, any moment, really, its emotive depth seemingly endless.

Recorded at 428 stage at Wonderfruit Festival in 2024.

Aurora Halal is a producer, DJ and creator of Brooklyn’s influential Mutual Dreaming party series & the Sustain-Release festival.

Shadowy and psychedelic, her hardware live & DJ sets have a hazy sensuality and metallic dance floor intensity that’s at turns playful, dark, euphoric and emotionally vulnerable. In all her projects, she treats dance music as an are­na for trans­for­ma­tion and since 2010, her events have been root­ed in an under­ground, DIY approach that push­es for­ward-think­ing sounds, pro­duc­tion, and ideas. She’s spent the last 10 years tour­ing like-mind­ed clubs, raves, and fes­ti­vals world­wide and gained a rep­u­ta­tion for pow­er­ful, unique per­for­mances that work both the body and mind. She’s 4 years into a res­i­den­cy at NYC’s Nowa­days, is a reg­u­lar at Berghain and pre­vi­ous­ly De School.

2018 has unarguably been a great year for Electro both with overall visibility for the public as well as with the sheer number of quality releases being put out thus far. This year also happened to be a year that I chose to outsource my weekly show duties to other DJs from all around the world. With a newfound buzz surrounding my beloved genre, I was hardly able to keep up! I feel like It's been a busy year both production wise and promotion wise for @DVSNME and @DarkScienceElectro respectively, however, I managed to find the time to put together a mix of my favorite tracks from 2018. Thanks to all the artists and DJs for the promos that made this mix possible and of course to the listeners all around the globe. - Johan
