Mixes

Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

Patterns of Perception 102 - A Walking Contradiction

A lush current of kinetic energy pulsates underneath you, enveloping you until you forget your body has edges. Such is the sensation one gets when listening to our next guest, Sunju Hargun. Based out of Bangkok, he spends his time DJing and co-running the imprint Siamese Twins Records, which is focused on exposing upcoming talent from Asia and acts as a platform for exploring everything from ceremonial chants to Bollywood-inspired acid. 

As a selector and curator, Sunju's inexplicable ability to meld cultures, rhythms, and timbres has earned him a respected reputation at home and abroad. In fact, it was at their gig together in Leipzig at Institut für Zukunft that Unrush founder Mareena and him realized they were both fans of each other. In this spirit of musically-bonded friendships, it was only natural to have him contribute to the series. Let yourself dissipate into the mist with this ambient masterclass from Sunju Hargun.

Communities possess undeniable power to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual support, and furthermore, this power can be harnessed to affect change on a broader scale. In the realm of music, it would be a miss not to acknowledge the robust and innovative music scene in Kyiv. Ukrainian artist Vera Logdanidi is one of the driving forces behind the local community, as a member of the Rhythm Buro collective, which organizes an unconventional festival and warehouse parties with a devoted following. Additionally, Vera oversees Kashtan, a communal channel and label. As a DJ, Vera's distinctive style is rooted in a diverse range of influences, as you can listen in our podcast. We had the opportunity to speak with Vera about her latest track release on Onboard Records, the Ukrainian community, and the art of DJing.

Recording of me & @drumsofjay DJing b2b for 3 hours at Darkroom in December with Helena Hauff and Nazira at Hangar.  

We played 00:00 - 03:00 in room 2. This whole set felt like magic from start to finish, and we are excited to share this recording with the world. 

Jay & I have this very intertwined musical understanding, probably from the many many hours we spend sharing music with each other and partying together. When we play together we always play one-for-one, and because of our symbiotic feeling for where the set should go, these sets feel like we’re co-creating something special with endless possibilities. 

Thanks to the Darkroom guys for having us down and everyone who was there dancing from start to finish 🖤

The second SIREN collective member to join our mix series, this week we welcome a contribution from https://soundcloud.com/drumsofjay - proud proponent of “anything dark and funky enough to keep that low frequency chaos alive”.

JAY approached DIM 183 with a clear objective: wanting to make it “super freaky yet pensive and reflective.” Channeling personal energy into her djing by way of layering voice notes collected over the years, the resulting mix is rightly that -  exploring the deep side of percussion whilst keeping energy and euphoria at the surface.
