DJ Nigga Fox at C0C — The Festival As A Performance

For number 267 of the series, we have a killer new mix from Stockholm born & Bristol based k means.

Her style effortlessly blends an eclectic mix of footwork, experimental bass and low slung rhythms, creating a potent cocktail of hypnotic and frenetic sounds to move to, skilfully laced together with precision. Festival goers will witness this in person this year as she plays the FABRICLIVE take-over at Cosmos on the Saturday night of the festival. Don’t miss it.

A Sunday afternoon delight from two of techno's most beloved heavy-hitters arrives exclusively on our Soundcloud.

Berlin techno viking and founder of Dystopian Records Rødhåd and the young, accomplished and Mote-Evolver regular Rene Wise have released their 4 hour set recording from March 2023, a huge B2B session that saw the pair delve in and out of eachother’s company for our last Continuum party. They played an extended set during the final Continuum 24+hour party of the season this Spring. 

The session, which started at 4pm as the tail end of the afternoon drew in and went on til 8pm ahead of a closing set from Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann, proved to be one of our highlights from the event. It's a real treat to be able to share the full recording; smashers from the get-go that takes us through the hard and heavy, to the atmospheric and energetic.

Lock in below and transport to the incomparable energy of Room 1 on a Sunday afternoon. Sometimes, we reckon, there's no place like it.

In very loose terms, James K's (@jamesk_1) music operates at the fringes of the pop world. It is experimental and industrial, packed with hooks and riddled with dreamy textures that show off her mastery of synths. She has released it in album form with Dial and Incenso, dropped EPs on AD 93 and collaborated with the likes of Drew McDowall and Stefan Maie, and always manages to imbue her adventurous arrangements with real-world emotions and anxieties. This year she will join us at Dekmantel Festival but not before serving up this week's podcast.

It's the sort of rhythmically thrilling workout that has always stood James apart: jittery drum patterns and kinetic grooves that unfold at 100 miles an hour as a barrage of caustic motifs, hypnagogic melodies and hyper-real colours all bounce about the mix. There is an ever-present sense of tension in the way things are assembled - it's as if they might implode or explode at any minute, and it all sounds fantastically futuristic.

When two become one... 

There have been a fair few Twitter debates about back-to-back sets, the curation behind them and whether they actually add anything to the set or party. But I feel it can create something truly magical when two artists come together, connected through music, to melt their creativity together. A set tells a story and so a back-to-back digs deeper into the friendship and partnership behind two artists, the individuality they bring to a set (or production), and a merge of influences. That can definitely be said of NVST and Zohar's relationship as you read through the interview below. Two kindred spirits who met through an appreciation of each other's art. It's not surprising that these two artists joined together. They are both fearless in everything they do, whether that's through championing their community to challenging those on the dance floor with those sets, ensuring their stories and messages are heard loud and clear. Determined and passionate through and through. 

Releasing their exhilarating back-to-back from last year's edition of Positive Education, the set opens with a poem recital, written by Ocean Vuong and spoken by NVST, before heading into breakneck speed of pacy, demanding soundscapes spanning across breaks, drum & bass, footwork and hypnotic driving techno. A set filled with both tension and excitement, it's just one of the many times the two artists have worked together over the past year as they tease more collaborations to come as they expand their collaborative world with productions. 

In the accompanying interview, we find out more about how NVST and Zohar first met, what collaborations allow them to do, what they appreciate in each other's art and a brief preview of the release they're working on.

Since starting the 'Live @ Meat Free' mix series a couple of years ago, @ben-sims has been at the top of our list, so we're delighted to finally be able to put this out. Huge thanks to Ben and Congratulations on being the first DJ to do the treble at Meat Free ;) 

Some words from Ben:  

"Here's my set from an excellent Meat Free party in March. Such a wicked night and always a pleasure to play for the crew. I didn't realise they recorded it at the time but very happy they did.
 On a sadder note, I close with one of my fave Trevino tracks. I met Marcus through a mutual friend nearly 20 years ago; we went record shopping, kept in touch regularly and sent music to each other, plus he did a great remix for my label and only recently we discussed a possible EP too. A truly lovely, passionate, and talented guy, he'll be missed”'

Melbourne-based DJ Plead is one of the newest members of Nervous Horizon, the label co-founded by TSVI - an Italian artist living in UK. Both artists explore rhythmic traditions from around the world, with a special focus on Lebanese wedding and pop music (Plead) and Sufi practices (TSVI). They played b2b for the first time at Unsound 2019 in Kraków, exploring the breadth of percussive music in front of a tightly packed Kitchen at Hotel Forum. Here's a recording of that set, filled to the brim with some of the freshest tunes in club music right now.

Next up in our live at Meat Free series, we're delighted to release the recording of Sunil's set from back in November 2019. Rhythmic, intense, fast but always with groove; this mix has it all and gave us quite the work out on the dance floor.

As always, thanks to everyone that came down to the party and a huge thanks to @sunilsharpe for letting us share this with you. 

Love Meat Free x
