Train Wrecks Podcast ft. Dustin Zahn

Train Wrecks #067 - Kangding Ray

A surefire provider of deep, complex weapons for the dance floor and beyond, French-born, Berlin-based artist Kangding Ray has been minting some of the most strikingly unique techno records in recent memory. His body of work for some of the most reputed record labels out there, including Raster Noton, Stroboscopic Artefacts and his own outlet, ara, cuts an introspective path, halfway modular-leaning escapology and beat-driven abstraction. From his background in architecture, his musical approach retains that fondness for structure and the creation, or re-creation of space, both as an actual object and a mental projection. Immerse yourself into KR's minutely designed headspace with this two-hour deep and intimate audio dive.

Reclaim Your City 

Reclaim Your City 602 | Kangding Ray

This is a vinyl mix containing 30 out of the 49 of the records I acquired in 2024.

Looking over those 49 records, I will say that I have doubled down on the dubby rhythms, totally neglected the UK sound and stayed strong on the trippy techno buzz. In general, I am seeking out more stripped back minimal tracks, be that of house or techno, and I do not entertain as much "aggressive" music as I used to (except in the live setting).

My favourite record from this year might be Hess & Fürstenberg - Campfire Dialogue on Echocord Color, of which both sides were included in this mix. These tracks make for great transitions up and down in tempo and atmosphere.

In terms of my Plattenladen habits - Hard Wax and Audio In reign supreme 👑
