The London-born, Leeds-based Kessie steps up in the first Rhythmic Culture podcast of '24, curated by Mia Koden. Over the course of an hour, you can expect "a lot of cerebral & loopy techno doing what she loves the most- steadily building tension and intensity."

Mia Koden: "When Brendan reached out I thought of Kessie straight away. I caught her playing at Nik Nak’s Dub Sirens event in Leeds earlier this year and loved the way she fluidly weaved a high energy fusion of bassy breaksy bits. We then bonded over Ghanaian food and Croydon(!). I’ve listened to several of her mixes since and trust me she’s also got serious deep selection across electro, dubby chuggers etc."

In a new round of Mia Koden's curation for the Rhythmic Culture podcast, 1985, DEEP MEDi MUSIK and SYSTEM MUSIC affiliate Samba steps up in the series.

Mia Koden: "Samba is one of the most consistently fire producers I've followed over the years. He's chiefly known for his dubstep tracks but truth is he's actually a sonic chameleon, carving out dark but vibrant bangers with stand out melodies and sound choice regardless of what genre he touches. His DJ sets definitely reflect this: Saw a recent set over the summer for DEEP MEDi (a label he's dropped some anthems on) and it was packed with great selection and interesting moments."

In the run-up to his next release 'Arteria' on Maloca, Brussels-based artist Hypna joins us on the Rhythmic Culture mix series this week. Last year, he launched the artist collective and label Plasma Sources, which he intends to use to bridge the gap between the club and immersive listening experiences. The mix is a collection of all sorts of futurist beats, intriguing percussions, and of course a peak into his new release.

There is nothing ordinary about Sepehr (@sepehr-a): he hails from the Bay Area of San Fran, is based in New York City but has Iranian heritage and takes great pleasure in pulling apart everything you think you know about dance music. His maverick approach results in versatile and genre-defiant sounds that collide EBM, drum & bass, techno, electro, acid and plenty more on some of the finest labels out there. He runs his own Shaytoon Records which is focussed on the Middle Eastern underground, and in May lands on our own Dekmanel Records with Genesis Domain, a varied EP full of intriguing sounds.

The same could be said of his mix for us this week. It's a deep dive into his eclectic and eccentric musical mind that spans several sounds and scenes. Although united by body-moving rhythms, there is everything from club to techno to broken beat and plenty more besides. Each track is packed with detail and surrealist sounds that will keep your head as busy as your heels.

Dekmantel Podcast

Dekmantel Podcast 463 - Sepehr

Simon Aussel is known for a particularly wild DJing style and leftfield bassy bangers, and it's his curious and playful approach to clubland that's won him loyal fans over the years. Whether photographing drink tokens from gigs or creating an 8-bit version of his debut album on a Game Boy cartridge, he seems to approach every endeavour with childlike joy and wonder—rare qualities in an industry that can leave so many jaded.

The Nantes-born, Paris-based artist's love of club culture, digging and world-building has set him on a blazing path in club music. He's released an exceptionally wide range of music, including a Memphis rap tape for Trilogy Tapes, dubstep-trap-jazz hybrids with Egyptian singer Abdullah Miniawy and deadly hard drum for Livity Sound. His mixes, meanwhile, are fast becoming DJ lore thanks to his knack for connecting seemingly opposed genres like new wave and fast techno. Look no further than his now-infamous Dekmantel Selectors set from 2021 or a marathon back-to-back with Skee Mask in 2022. 

As the French DJ gets more comfortable with story-telling, he's getting more personal and focusing on deeper, slower sounds. That's evident on this RA Podcast—six months in the works—which incorporates woozy downtempo, weighty dub and bleepy beats. Of course, in the chaotic middle section there's plenty of huge basslines, plus old-school electro, acidic techno and even a bouncy edit of the Montell Jordan classic "This Is How We Do It." Showcasing his quirks, influences and growth, this is Simo Cell in prime time.

To be honest, I have found the world to be particularly dark this last year. When I thought about a concept and vibe for this mix, I struggled to go towards a happier direction, as it felt in contradiction with how I’ve felt recently. I have naturally leaned towards deeper, maybe more melancholic and dubby sounds for this one.
I am nonetheless amazed by all the great people around me fighting day after day for a better and more just future for everyone, it gives me hope and comfort, and that’s also reflected in this mix by lots of brighter, more hopeful moments.

It was actually a very soothing and cathartic experience recording this mix, thank you so much for inviting me <3

I’m from a place where there weren't a lot of clubs, or wasn’t much happening musically, so a lot of my first experiences with live electronic music were with warehouses, raves, or traveling to Spain close-by to go to afters or parties.
As someone who can be very obsessive about the things I’m passionate about, I just had to know everything, and was making tons of lists about labels, artists, releases, spending hours looking for tracklists on Mixes-db (soon RIP 😢), looking for parties and clubs on RA, and also started collecting vinyls, that I was always too shy to play in front of people.

Going to London and especially Fabric and Plastic People, as well as Freerotation also had a huge impact on me, and opened me up to a whole new world of sound.

Even though this music thing was objectively what was taking the most space in my life, through which I met most of my friends and found most of my jobs, for the longest time I just couldn’t imagine djing in front of people (even my friends), or even try to get better at it. I was thinking about it a lot, but just always felt it wasn’t for me, that I wasn’t really good at it, and wouldn’t manage to get better. I really had to push myself (and still have to tbh) very hard to get out of this mindset.

Aw thanks, really appreciate that <3 with radio sometimes it’s hard to know if people are actually listening, so I’m always so happy to hear someone say that they’ve been enjoying the show!
It will be 3 years of Therapy Dog next October. I started doing shows on Refuge before that, but started Therapy Dog in October 2021. I’m not sure there was too much of a concept to be honest, but I love dogs and mental health is something I have struggled with and find important, and I’m yet to find a quicker fix to being a bit down than petting a cute dog!

I like inviting friends and artists that I like on the show, and try to adapt to their style. If I’m doing it on my own, I’ll try to go with a specific theme. This show brought me so much joy over the last few years, always so nice to get to play some b2bs with friends or dig to find new music, as well as some regular time to practice and experiment outside the club. It also taught me to be a little more confident speaking on air, which I would never have been able to do before that.

kinetic mix 033: ophélie "Little pockets of hope and resistance"

Musician, producer and audio engineer Andrew Nerviano’s work under the Plebeian moniker over the past several years is nothing if not distinctive; a heady blend of syrupy low-end, delicate sonic accents, and swirling rhythmic figures that give his work a hypnotic, psychedelic quality that’s as evocative as it is unique. Bringing his brand of shapeshifting techno to French label Grid this year, the artist has put forth a four-track EP titled Contrast, merging adventurous, deep-listening sensibilities with a driving focus on the dancefloor.
Based in New York, Nerviano was a cornerstone of the label and party series Sweat Equity, which saw early releases from Ben Ritz, Overland and Deli Girls, among others, a string of projects tied together by sonic intensity and Nerviano’s work engineering and/or mastering each of the releases on the label. During that time, he was conceptualising and honing the dimensions of the sonic palette of his own project, delving into modular synthesis, digital processing and a hybrid studio practice that mixed a range of outboard gear with a range of compositional techniques.
He would follow up a pair of records on his own imprint with releases from Munich’s Molten Moods and Ronan’s Eternal Ocean imprint, as well as contributions on releases from UWU Dust Bath, Pseudonym and Index, before announcing his latest with Grid this spring. The record in draws its core material from a set conceptualised and performed at the inaugural edition of Dripping, a music fest organsed in New Jersey by fellow New York techno mainstay Relaxer.

In a brand new Rhythmic Culture podcast, guest curator ZULI shines a light on Cairo-raised/Berlin-based artist Assyouti.

ZULI: "Assyouti was an obvious choice for me; his knowledge of music spans an extremely wide range of genres and I've seen him go b2b with absolutely anyone in any context and deliver every single time; he's a proper DJ. The guy lives and breathes music, so the list of accolades already under his belt at only 24 years of age (as both a DJ and producer) come as no surprise to me or anyone who knows him. Definitely one of the most promising young names to come out of Cairo."

For ZULI's second artist as guest curator for the Rhythmic Culture podcast he picks the Cairo-based artist Ashrar.

ZULI: "Ashrar is another obvious choice because, to him, music is sacred; it shouldn't be informed by any non-creative forces. He reflects these values clearly through his work as a curator, DJ and producer, and has therefor created his own sort of palette of sounds, artists and labels within which he operates. It's what sets him apart as a DJ, which is why I picked him for this series."
