KHIDI Podcast NR.71: Sharlese

Educated in the fertile grounds of the Macedonian techno scene, its no surprise that @viktorapo has made his way onto the likes of @mojubarecords. Established in 2005, Thomas Wendel’s (aka Don Williams) popular Berlin-based label has always been contentious about who it allows into its fold – in a 2008 interview about Mojuba, Wendel confirms that his intention for the label's roster is mainly friends and family and that it will be difficult for outsiders to get in — and this is clear from a quick skim of their Bandcamp page. Familiar names continue popping up throughout Mojuba's discography, such as Sven Weissman, Don Williams/Oracy, and Nick Solé, to name a few.

Viktor’s introduction onto Mojuba’s a.r.t.less sub-label was born from his connection with Macedonian veteran @stojche, who introduced him to Wendel. Stojche could be considered somewhat of a mentor to Viktor, and his influence on him runs deeper than a gateway into the industry. Similar sound design tropes can be found in the production styles of both artists. For example, tracks such as Sojche – Granada and Viktor Apo – Flow feature glassy, dubby, phasey chords layered over flowing grooves. Viktor’s Regenerate EP lives somewhere in the middle ground. It encapsulates the spirit of Mojuba’s deep dubby house roots whilst adhering to a more techno feeling, with its faster bpm’s and bouncy drum programming.

Regardless of whether this sound is something completely new or not, Viktor Apo’s clever combination of loops, grooves, and deep spacey sound design work. It’s a fun and nostalgic throwback to that early Detroit sound, and worthy of a place on the well-respected and closely guarded roster of Mojuba. Viktor Apo is part of a diverse albeit overlooked scene in Skopje that is keeping the city firmly on the electronic music map.

For his //SNCMIX, Viktor puts together a functional, energetic, dancefloor-focused blend of techno and electro tracks. Perfect for your weekend listening.

//SM.004 - Viktor Apo

@mmaemm, DJ & Co-founder of @la-taquinerie, Maemm gives us a lesson of techno. A one-hour journey where intricate rhythms collide with hypnotic melodies.

"I recorded this podcast several months ago, spending a lot of time on it. It was a period when I was questioning myself a lot about what I really liked, what I wanted to share, and what made me passionate. I eventually treated this mix as a material that I could craft. 
I'm thrilled to be able to release it on Kluster records. Kluster collective is for me a wonderful space for artistic experimentation that helped me develop a lot as an artist. 
A big thank you to them and the great work they do for the Parisian scene. I hope you will like the podcast, and see you soon on the dancefloor ❤️"

@melati3000

A grasp for your hand to guide you through the mist. Fog glazes over our periphery in a realm that has no bounds. We're flowing through the earth, with the tides of the moon and the glistens of the sea. We don't know what will become of us, but we're going all the same.

Keeping it strictly 120-124, Melati shows another side of her taste for the first time online in a deeply entrancing mix through soundscapes reminiscent of the simplicity of natural life. 

Come back to me when you need grounding, when your grip seeks something intangible, when you're slipping into the unknown, yearning for softness to catch your fall. We'll be right here.
