"I wanted to do something that involved a total concept, something that was different. Take people somewhere else, instead of giving them the same thing that they see every time they step outside their door.” James Stinson, 2002

An artist in the purest form and one of the brightest lights in Detroit’s galaxy of stars. It's 20 years since he died and his music remains more relevant than ever.

Strictly: James Stinson

UK born, Rotterdam based @sebcantmix brings us an extended 2hr vinyl mix for our 14th instalment. The @hidden_rooms & 40Hz co-founder gives us a very special ode to the warm-up, which in turn is his favourite set to play.

I’ve always enjoyed doing warm-ups. In some hypothetical dream scenario where I could play for any party at any club & choose my slot, I’d choose to do the warm-up.

I find watching a room fill up & laying the foundations for an entire night &/or day of partying is often the most satisfying experience you can have as a DJ.

Sometimes I think there can be a bit of a narrative that you have to ‘play it safe’ during the early hours of an event, but I actually often think the opposite. I think as long as you get the mood right, you’re free to play some of the most interesting music.

I'm gonna go for @achterban - They’re not tied to a particular sound but instead always combine DJs from all different genres throughout their programming. Their event production is always great, they bring a lot of visual art & lighting installations to the club to good effect.

Oh there are loads, how can I just pick one? @yopoono is always impressive. Every time I listen to him I always think he’s really good at getting his tracks in the right order. Sounds simple I guess but it's probably the most important thing to get right haha.

Also big up to @krismika - super sick selections, always love listening to her sets!

Earlier this year I went to Golden Pudel for the first time.

What a club. It’s really got everything you want imo. Small room, low lighting, cracking system & a crowd full of people really into their tunes & up for having a good time. 10/10, would Pudel again.

It doesn’t feel competitive. There are a lot of creative people doing a lot of cool things but, in my experience at least, it’s never felt like they’re fighting for their own space. People are open to collabs & support each other’s endeavours.

Far too many to choose from but the first time I saw DJ Sprinkles will always stand out. She has this whole different way of thinking about what a DJ set can be. I’ve never heard anyone else do it like her.

The last one that really left its mark was Floid on @woodyninetytwo Neon Cleptu show on @lyl_radio. Crazy tunes, expertly blended. Out to Marco for putting it on at work!

Again too many to choose tbh.

I lived in Helsinki for a year & went to @clubkaiku near enough every weekend whilst I was there. Something about that place & the way it’s run, the way the booth is built, the soundsystem & the crowd of regulars that attend, it always seemed to bring the best out of the DJs that played there.

The whole scene in Helsinki is really top notch. It’ll always have a special place in my heart.

Also, memories of going to the @hessleaudio residency at @fabric when I was 18/19. Truly transformative experiences.

@dynamic-tension at @gladefestival in ‘06. Big up Danny for showing it to me. When he brings in Vex’d - Angels I rewind the mix every time. Utter madness.

Took the bag on the road to Amsterdam's beloved Echobox for a 2hr spesh.

Can't Mix FM (Echobox special) | 1st December 2023

The radio ecosystem is a nest for some the most knowledgeable music enthusiasts. When combined with a deep knowledge of dance floors, a sens of community and initiative, and a talent for selection, it is a nest for some of the best artists.

Seb H is one of these. Rotterdam is a city of rich music culture, and scene with an identity of its own. As every city, it faces change, and with it the birth of new talents. Actively involved in the @operator.radio community, running the @hiddenrooms_ club night and radio show along side @danny___hill (big shouts) and the @40hz.roffa night series, Seb has been offering his time and passion to the culture.

But let’s come back to the music, because on that front, we are inviting for this first episode of Polychrome Radio of 2024 a very fine selector. One that can be trusted to have the music needed for the moment, with an identity residing not in the sound but in the quality and consistency of the journeys.

For this episode, Seb H offered us a captivating techno podcast. It is a difficult genre to mix. All in subtle energy control and groove. It is here mastered. The needles trip around those records bring life to the recording, adding to the tension and pleasing releases. This selection would have made a beautiful dance in the basement that we all know and miss already.

A lot of words, but worth every one of them. Enjoy ⛲️

Excited to be reliving our last event again by sharing some live recordings from the night 🌀

First up is Seb H.'s closing set; a masterclass in the building of tension, juxtaposing of dreamy melodies with wobbly bass & warm and fuzzy techno, journeying seamlessly through dark winding half time, jungle, de-school-basement-esque techno & even some dreamy tearjerking house.

"So I knew Jasmín could finish her set pretty much anywhere - from 130 techno to 170 drum’n’bass, I wanted to be ready to take over from anywhere. I put together blocks of roughly 10 records that all had a similar vibe/tempo: a block of hypnotic techno, a block of dubstep, DnB/half-time etc. And then I had transition records that could get me between each block. So on the night it was just a case of moving between the blocks in an order that made sense 😌"

Seb H. playing the closing set epitomises what we are trying to do at kinetic. Pair established artists with incredibly talented yet under the radar DJs, who totally deserve a space to perform. Seb's understanding of the emotional connection withe the dance floor & his records make him a truly special talent. 

Our next event is on 17th May at Ormside Projects. Tickets here - https://ra.co/events/1883623
