A few words from the artist:

1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?

My connection to music is very much a love/hate relationship. Some days, I wake up and feel an overwhelming, transcendent love for all forms of sound—whether it’s music, noise, or even random everyday sounds. But other days, even the chirping of birds gets under my skin. This duality really mirrors my creative process: one day, I feel like everything I create is brilliant, and the next, I question how I could possibly produce something so meaningless.

2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music?

Music is my chosen medium of expression—it’s what I’m most sensitive to. But it’s the same with fashion; everything feels interconnected. When I attend a fashion show, I can sense the music and the artistry behind it. To me, a melody can be just as much a form of art as a drawing or even a pair of loose jeans. It’s all about choosing the medium that resonates with you.

3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études Studio to make this mix?

Honestly, it’s the pants. Études pants have this precise, cool cut that I absolutely love. I can’t deny it—I’m a huge fan of their pants ahah.

4/ How did you curate this musical sequence/audio journey?

I was on holiday in Zanzibar, an island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, and a local saying really stuck with me during that trip: Pole pole, which means “slowly” in Swahili. While the mix itself isn’t particularly slow, I was inspired by the serene and breathtaking water landscapes I experienced there. I wanted to translate what it might feel like to party in such a setting into music.

5/ Three words to define your mix for Études Studio?

Blue, Tentacle, Coral.

Ancient Methods | Artaphine Series 109

 Kiernan Laveaux, She/They

Kiernan Laveaux is a connective rhythmic energy conduit & ecstatic beat conductor from the Great Lakes. A boundless ball of discordant energy, she’s an adventurous spirit - conducting the vibrant forces of our world that are transmitted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. 

Inspired by forces of universal chaos & the innovative, experiential visions found within midwestern electronic music, she's since embarked on a lifelong journey of channeling binary dissolving phenomena throughout our known universe via her unbridled musical vitality & the multifaceted Sweet Abyss imprint. 

Originating from within Cleveland's multiversal DIY underground, she materialized through the rhythms of life & her loved ones - soaking up influence in everything from the enchanted & irreverent joys of disco, the raucous mayhem of hardcore punk & noise gigs, the spatial manifestations of dub, nonlinear revelations & outer reaches of free jazz expressionism, bewitching industrial conjurations, lineages & contrasts of freeform DJing across the world, & dancing with many weirdos in rooms full of fog, neon mesh, & skate ramps.


Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix is a live recorded portion of a set I played late at night at the wonderful club Outra Cena in Lisbon, Portugal in April 2024. The vibe of it is pondering the orb, watching your life and emotions play out in arcane swirls in front of your eyes as you embody the role of an unreliable narrator in your own existence. Sometimes this view allows clarity, other times overwhelmed by imagined insecurities, other times allowing a reprieve from strife into self love. Emotions and mental findings that feel held in many sets of mine. Sonically, I really felt encouraged this night to dive into my love of the stranger ends of house music, and combinations of industrial/dub/breaks on top. Specifically the influence of my lifelong love of industrial and synth music can really be felt throughout, as well as lamentations on loneliness and connection within capitalism that lots of that music speaks to - industrial music for industrial people. Discotekno, Haunted house, whatever name you want to apply to this music - as well as a healthy dose of dubwise rave stylistics. A strange dream within a stranger reality, living in the paradox. Musick for dance, musick for new corridors of your mind, musick against the fascist, ogliarchal pacification of who we are - viva la differenze!"

Phonica Mix Series 130 welcomes an artist who has defined and defied the rules of drum & bass like no other. dBridge, real name Darren White has been in the game for well over 30 years. Growing up listening to artists like DJ Randall & Grooverider on Rush FM when he was starting out shaped his ear for the sound that he would learn to grow with, love and mutate. With over 100 records released on labels like R&S, Convex, Metalheadz, Nonplus and more that span well into the 90's dBridge has become a pioneer well in his own right. Not only that but his label Exit Records which not too long ago celebrated its 100th release has been a output determined to push the boundaries of experimental bass, D&B and more. 
Having usually referred to himself as being producer first, it is not to be mistaken that White is a seasoned pro behind the decks. Having stepped into Worlds of his own playing with some of Drum & Bass' biggest names like Doc Scott & Goldie, the artist has also stepped into lengthy b2b's with Bass artist Youngsta and Techno legend Donato Dozzy (which he will do once more this Summer at Dekmantel). 
For this mix dBridge has dedicated it to people around him, a friends and family mix of sorts. With heavy bassy tones from the get go and experimental techno and electro flowing throughout - it showcases the sure diversity of one of the best to do it! We had a brief chat with dBridge about the mix and what he has coming up.
