"a reverse puzzle: starting with structure, ending in disintegration."

welcome to the abstract sonic world of seoul-via-paris dj and producer k.o.p. 32. taking us a journey through the depths of the murky underworld, the hyper minimal session flips the switch between immersive, introspective sound design and grey area influences. 

drawing from his parisian roots and his current base in seoul, this diversity of influences lends itself to k.o.p. 32’s output. his productions lean towards meticulous drum grooves and textured atmospheres spanning across deep techno, halftime, drum & bass and freetek with releases across annulled, de rio, a-biotic, metaphore industrie, de rio and qilla records. i’m completely obsessed with his productions! they’re so deep and easy to get lost in. that feeling of being neither here nor there whilst you listen, away in another world. pyramid of knowledge is another alias of k.o.p. 32 and in 2021, he embarked on a new journey, launching his own label beyond the bridge which has released records from some of our other favourites including spekki webu and gi. well worth the dig through to get to know the world that k.o.p. 32 orbits in better as well as reading our interview below : )

"I’m truly honored and proud to release this mix on the label run by my longtime friends, Léo and Simon. We’ve known each other for years and grew up together through music, so being able to share my very first time mix on their label feels quite special to me.

This ambient, dubby and aquatic mix is an immersion in low frequencies that resonate like the heartbeat of the ocean, inspired by the latter that surrounds and soothes me every day. A tribute to the calm and powerful energy of the waters"

Obtuse Swamp's third ecosystem "Reef Stage” from Berlin based producer Ilayruni dives deep into polyrhythmic slow-mo-feeling spatial sound architectures. With a remarkable evolving narrative, the EP is a constant evolution of both rhythm and spatial soundscapes. This time french producer Arsene Martinet along with London based o.utlier and Caldera give us another perspective of the very bottom of our biome. Cannot end this ecosystem presentation with a huge mention to our beloved biome designer @fredonne delivering another 3D exploration of Obtuse Swamp.
