Music for train journeys, scored by KMRU.

Therapy Therapy 50 was recorded on a train from Basel to Berlin by one of our all-time favourite artists, Joseph Kamaru aka KMRU. 

Theory Therapy listeners will most likely be very familiar with the Berlin-based producer’s extensive and lauded catalogue already. The Nairobi sound artist has been pivotal in broadening ambient music’s terrain over the last few years, both in the way it is produced and what it can be (for one thing, that it should never be reduced to a single sound or concept; great ambient is many, often contradictory, things all at once.)

His mix contains all of the hallmarks that make his music so engaging. It’s a masterclass in tone and texture, delicately moving between a kaleidoscope of sounds by some of electronic music’s most interesting creators — a fitting way to celebrate the 50th episode in the series. Thank you Joseph for this mix.

We enter June with DSS 086. Brought to you by the talented Italian, Atoloi.

As a devotee of nature, Atoloi explores sound creating a mellow amalgam of layers using echoing synths, processed field recordings, and self-created samples; all mixed in a lysergic experience of heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions.

Not sticking only to club-oriented sonorities, instead, his productions and mixes search for other depths, in which the listener can get lost in a dense "no boundaries" journey between the worlds of dance and meditation.

For U-R-S, sound is not merely an expression of what has already been mastered or performed. Instead, it’s a living archive, a musical encyclopedia in constant evolution. Much like a library of unread books, her studio is filled with instruments, recordings, and fragments of compositions that might never be fully realized but are essential in her potential. These sounds are not just records of past achievements but seeds for future experiments—a reservoir of possibilities waiting to be explored.
Every note played, every texture created, adds to a vast network of interconnected ideas. On U-R-S approach, the incomplete sketches, dissonant layers, and raw recordings are not failures or incomplete works; they are tools, ideas in waiting, elements of a larger and ongoing process. In this way, her mixes are not a finished product but an evolving workshop—a space where sound is continuously transformed, recontextualized, and enriched.
Artefact : 
Just as Umberto Eco’s library is a repository of future projects, U-R-S’s archive of sound is not a reflection of what has been definitively achieved but a workshop brimming with future explorations. Her music, like Eco’s library, embodies the ever-unfolding pursuit of knowledge, creativity, and discovery.

Ableton Live’s Meld is a fascinating journey into sound exploration. So far, I’ve only scratched the surface, but it’s clear there’s so much more to uncover. Meld really encourages experimentation—tweaking, trying things out, and seeing what happens. My first approach was a bit cautious, but I’m definitely planning to dive in much deeper later on.
