MNMT 376 : Kairogen

Kairogen is a Glasgow-based artist whose unique sound seamlessly blends ambient house and deep techno, creating an exciting and distinctive identity within the electronic music scene. The name "Kairogen" is a creation of the artist, derived from the Greek words "kairos" meaning the right moment, and "gen" meaning to generate or create.
 
This name encapsulates the artist's belief in the power of seizing opportunities to create and inspire others to cultivate their own conditions for creativity to flourish. Kairogen's journey into music production began during her time at art school when a lecturer suggested incorporating a sound piece into an installation project. This sparked her passion for club culture and led her to delve into the world of Detroit techno and electronic music as an art form.
 
Through her work in album art and her experiences at Sub Club, a renowned nightclub, Kairogen gained a deep understanding of the electronic music scene and honed her musical preferences. The influence of peak-time music in the club environment has greatly impacted her own artistic style, driving her to explore sounds that complement the edges of dance music. Inspired by the drama and tension found in DJ sets, she gravitates towards the ambient and experimental side of the electronic spectrum.
 
Kairogen has already played at some of the best clubs and festivals in the scene, performing alongside well known artists within the scene such as Avalon Emerson, Slam and Amelie Lens.

#SlamRadio - 556 - Kairogen

For the next interpretation of Far Blue, we have Belgium's Kim Kenis who has carefully weaved together a selection of tracks that represents a more clubby perspective of the concept. Recollecting dance moves. The podcast was made so you could move, as the set was recorded on Kim's home setup when she came back from a night out in Amsterdam. The mood was there, the flow as well. 

We are very much looking forward to having Kim and her flow over on the 24th of May for Pintai x Far Blue at Borisov, but for now we'll be enjoying this glimpse of what's to come.

Today we are happy to share SAL’s interpretation of Far Blue. 

With the mix, the German duo tells the story of a couple who slowly wake up from a dream-like state where everything was fine and realize that it's not working anymore. As the discussions become more intense and end in arguments, they break up and decide to go in different directions and move on, but not without continuing to appreciate each other. 

‘Let’s try to be grateful for what we had together’

Next up in the series we have Brighton based 'Fortune Sessions' founder and 'The Mine' resident @dub_athlete with a 2 hour texturally deep exploration through dreamy ambient, percussive techno & darker bass-heavy cuts.

A beautiful journey showcasing her versatility as a DJ, thank you Sophie <3

Firstly, thanks to Dj wiggles for the opportunity to contribute to the Kinetic series <3

The mix is experimental and long-form, exploring ambient meditative selections as well as darker bass-heavy and textured tracks from across the bpm spectrum, with several tracks warped far from their original bpm. The pace, mood and energy fluctuate. Some tracks emerge quickly, like intrusive thoughts or distractions, others are  given more time to breathe merging into the mix more subtly. This reflects the often unpredictable and challenging nature of losing and regaining a sense of presence and control. The mix has a symbolic cyclical nature, returning to particular percussive sounds and motifs as it progresses. 

Many philosophies motivate me to DJ including the belief everything is connected to the collective and sound exists at that intersection, it is a universally connecting force that exists at the boundaries where mind and body meet the world. All creative practices are intrinsically informed by the personal experiences of their creator/s. This imbues them with narrative and gives them the potential for human connection at these boundaries. 

The title of the mix “decompression” alludes to the pursuit of emotive release. It is a response to life at present - from harrowing world events, to personal challenges and introspection. I hope people enjoy and connect with it, perhaps finding some peace of mind by its end.

I started the Fortune Sessions nights in 2019. Before then I threw a lot of house parties. When I had to move into a house unsuitable for big gatherings I began looking for a venue. 

The Fortune of War is a venue located on Brighton beach. It has an intimate dance floor space indoors for winter events and then a big outdoor space for parties in summer. It’s well-loved by locals, with a friendly and laid-back vibe. For a grassroots night it felt like the perfect fit. 

The first session went well but then Covid hit just before the second event was due to happen. I was disappointed but it gave me time to develop the aim and concept behind the events. I also acquired a better sound system to power them. The second session finally took place in March 2022 and two years on I’m preparing for the 15th!

The Fortune Sessions have always had a multi-genre format with a commitment to diversity behind the decks, and a low-key unpretentious vibe. The venue being a pub rather than a club means that the events draw a crowd of dedicated ravers as well as people just out for a good time. Not everyone who enjoys dance music vibes with the club environment, so I’m glad to be able to platform niche genres in an unintimidating space to a wider audience. The nights being free entry also means its more accessible, giving the opportunity for new musical discovery. On a few occasions I’ve been asked “what IS this music??” by people on the dancefloor.

kinetic mix 029: Dub Athlete "Decompression"

Join us for the 19th installment of the Herbarium mix series, as we dive into the innovative world of @cola-ren, an inspiring Chinese DJ and producer.
In her journey she leads us through a versatile selection of works ranging from dubby vibes through tribal rhythms to bass music touches and intriguing harmonies. 🌱👾
Also, keep an eye open as she will be the next one to release on our label ⭐

COLA REN chose the Banyan tree / Ficus Benghalensis for her musical trip. Here is why:
The sprawling canopy of the banyan tree, with its aerial roots reaching down to the earth, symbolizes the diverse landscape of my musical exploration within this mixtape. Much like the banyan's ability to thrive in various environments, from dense forests to urban landscapes, my mixtape traverses through a multitude of electronic music genres. From the deep, atmospheric beginnings reminiscent of the shaded undergrowth to the vibrant crescendos akin to sunlit clearings, the mixtape mirrors the adaptability and resilience of the banyan tree.

EMC welcomes Joan Gila!

Joan Gila, a vinyl enthusiast, is the curator of @hoc-radio and also manages a small cassette label focused on ambient, avant-garde, and experimental music called @red-edge-label. He is part of the duo @binomi with his friend @slim-jordi.
This DJ set was recorded in Madrid at the Temple event, curated by @machines-desirantes and @javier-camunas, which takes place at @espacio-perpendicular, an intimate venue with exquisite sound. This particular set is Temple 03 featuring @hardcore-chillout, and it's an exercise in mixing and merging an older record from around the 80s with a new one, playing with them in such a way that the listener doesn’t know where they are. 

Enjoy!

This sublime mix was recorded at Slam's monthly Return To Mono party at the Sub Club in Glasgow. After that night Niamh Jobson was immediately asked to become a resident at RTM. 

some heartfelt words from kairogen:
it’s hard to process that i won’t be able to dj with niamh jobson again when we were just getting started.

i remember meeting before this set to practice, niamh realising she’d forgotten all her usb’s - later found in the washing machine. that day, it felt like we were making breakthroughs, refining our styles and finding a space further up the bpm scale that worked together. i called it ‘dark groove’ - her minimal, stylish sound with a funky, sexy edge that kept things rolling without being too obvious.

we were excited to play, but the night had its challenges. niamh had been battling osteosarcoma and had recently had her leg amputated, now replaced with a silver sparkly prosthetic. my playlists hadn’t copied over, which i realised five minutes before the set - shaking hands, sweat forming - until niamh handed me a spare usb and i got back on track.

niamh was so unwell at the time that even djing was hard. i remember fixing the jogwheel when she could hardly reach, sorting her wig, and narrowly saving a track from cutting to silence.
we laughed when i also accidentally paused the track that was playing - we’d both always panic but laugh through these moments, which is what friendship behind the decks is all about. some things going wrong and loads of things going right is what makes djing fun, especially b2b - being in sync while keeping individuality.

niamh’s ability came so quickly and effortlessly, and i only wish we had been able to hear more. she had a deep knowledge of sound for her age. it’s frustrating that she had so much more to give, but what she achieved musically in such a short time was huge and will always be a special memory.
❤️
