Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU, is a sound artist and experimental ambient musician, raised in Nairobi, Kenya, and currently based in Berlin where he is a Master’s student in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at the Universität der Künste. His works deal with discourses of field recording, improvisation, noise, ambient, machine learning, radio art and expansive hypnotic drones. He has earned international acclaim from his performances in far-flung locales as well as his ambient recordings.

We met Bristol's Boursin back in the all too brief punctuation between Covid variants, when it was possible for strangers to stumble around fields serenaded by distant, muffled bass bins together, and as with anyone we demand a Forecast from we liked the cut of his jib. 

He's an excellent DJ, a pint provider at the great Strange Brew and when asked to describe the mix he did so thusly:

"This mix is pure beach vibes, if your beach is two duvets surrounded by an unhinged number of candles as the winds howl outside. A soundtrack to the 'unprecedentedness' of the day-to-day, with any solace coming from seeking shelter with your mates. Influenced by the works of Claire Rousey, Francis Harris, Terre Thaemlitz and the international ambient cru."

Lovely stuff.

For the fourth episode of this seasons Warming series, Yeahlena & Employee teamed up for a beautifully crafted, spaced out mix.

Yeahlena, being HEAVY DUTY Mama (monthly show on radio80k.de) and ACE TONE Schwester (@acetone-records) is usually known for bass driven sounds of various styles, which reflect her early musical influences of listening to local Russian pirate radio in the early 2000's.

Employee is co-running Tax Free Records (@taxfreerec), where he recently dropped a dope and dubby EP together with DJ 2Beers.

Hi-Vis for Diane's Hunting Club 2022

On this month’s show, Organic Analogue Records are excited to welcome Papadopoulopoulos, a deep cover DJ duo residing in Bristol, UK.
The name choice “Papadopoulopoulos” is a funny take on Greece’s most popular surname “Papadopulos” and since the late 60s has also gained a certain political weight. 
As a DJ duo, they are very much into creating complex auditory and emotional soundscapes, drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of different genres and taste, something they both have very much in common. One chair, one dream. 

Enjoy

Четвертий епізод серії Gasoline Selectors занурить нас у в'язкі емоційні пейзажі, серед яких ми дрифтуватимемо зі співзасновником Concentric Records та звуковим мандрівником з монікером Born in 1986. 

Використовуючи формат подкасту як спосіб комунікації, здатний замінити слова, артист використовує музику для більш інтуїтивного та інтимного дослідження себе самого. 

Як і у всіх зібраних ним міксах, запис для Gasoline – це історія, у якій, попри відсутність жанрових рамок та загальноприйнятих способів взаємодії між треками, чітко прослідковується наратив. 

Посеред переважаючих ембієнтних просторів, де незвідана дика природа переплітається з закинутими індустріальними комплексами, слухач у трансоподібному стані матиме змогу спостерігати за неспішними змінами образів калейдоскопу власної сенсорики та відчутів.

//

The fourth episode of the Gasoline Selectors series will immerse us in viscous emotional landscapes, drifting alongside the co-founder of Concentric Records and the sonic explorer known as Born in 1986.

Utilizing the podcast format as a means of communication capable of transcending words, the artist employs music for a more intuitive and intimate self-exploration. Like all the mixes he has curated, this recording for Gasoline tells a story.

Despite the absence of genre constraints and conventional track interactions, a clear narrative emerges. Amidst the dominant ambient spaces, where uncharted wilderness intertwines with abandoned industrial complexes, the listener in a trance-like state will experience the gradual shifts of a kaleidoscope of sensory perceptions and feelings.

GASOLINE SELECTORS #004 — BORN IN 1986

If we had been asked 15 years ago: “do you think that Luca will become a respected dj with a very specific and refined sound?”

Well, as you know already, he proved everybody wrong. 

He has always been a true music lover and clubber, who is devoting is life to the music industry. Living together in London and be able to connect deeply with Luca is what life is about. A friendship that will last.

Here a 3 hours set recorded this summer on the Romanian mountains during the WAHA Festival. A festival that will remain always in our heart. 

@bornin1986

Peace & Enjoy.

AF Reflect’s sound journey 010 with Nicola Kazimir

The subtle interplay of clicks and cuts reveals a surprising sonic depth within its delicate framework. It's a soundscape where the minutiae – the transient click, the momentary digital flicker – become the focal point. This genre, which flourished in the late 90s and early 2000s, particularly on pioneering labels like Mille Plateaux and 12k, is one I consistently return to, finding also its compelling contemporary interpretations. Each of these labels, in their own way, explored the boundaries of electronic sound, pushing into territories of minimalism and microsound. There's a unique neutrality in its repetitive soundscapes, a reduction that avoids heavy pads and instead explores minuscule dynamics. I hope you enjoy this click and cut ambient mix as much as I do. 

Nicola Kazimir inhabits various positions within electronic music culture, functioning as a DJ, producer, label owner (Les Points, Gentrified Underground, Infoline, FREQ), offspace owner of Mikro Zürich, manga creator, and curator. His work with FREQ involves a collaborative project with writer Dai Sato (known for his work on anime such as Cowboy Bebop and Ergo Proxy), creating a class-conscious sci-fi manga illustrated by goodnewsforbadguys, that references electronic music. His artistic and sonic productions frequently explore themes like the institutionalization of techno, copyright, and the perception of repetitive rhythmic patterns, often blended with aesthetic codes from video games and B-movie horror. He is also part of the duo Elektronische Sequenz Proleten with DJ WEB, and has performed at clubs worldwide including Tresor Berlin, and Contact Tokyo.

Get comfortable and breathe deeply, as sound researcher e/tape joins us this week on the mix series. Known for his expansive and cinematic podcast output over the past 15-years, his ambient explorations are masterclasses delivered in an unmistakably personal fashion.

A real pleasure to host something outside of the norm this week ahead of e/tape’s Dimensions debut this summer.
