Influences:
producers who use their DAW to spawn and grow inconceivable organisms, or build and sculpt vast architectures. artists whose music helps you engage with your body with pure openness. artists who make music to excavate things out of themselves. artists who write music that reflects their world (inside or outside) at you. music that carries memories and sensations with me that would be otherwise lost. working musicians who break the borders between practices, cultures, and industries. people who invent new genres by djing, throwing parties, and starting labels. djs who understand how rhythm affects the body. djs who throw away established definitions about music and come up with their own. ravers who throw away their pretensions, exercise care and show love to their peers, and put unbridled energy into the music.

Favorite Quote:
a wise man carrying a comically oversized mug once told me, "this community will give you everything, but eventually you have to give it all back."

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
take the time to think about what you really want to do with your work, and pursue it unapologetically. but as you get more and more from the community, think about what you're doing to pay it back by supporting and uplifting others. try to learn when to make sacrifices in your commitments/presence in the community for your artmaking, homemaking, and personal wellness. try to learn when to do the opposite. show up for your friends and the people who inspire you. it's never the wrong time to take a beat, consider how you're taking up space, and consider the effect you have/could have on the people around you. if you don't get booked too often, always show up early and stay late when you do. whatever you do, hold yourself accountable to push your craft as far as you possibly can - all of us doing that is what keeps the community alive.

With this mix sobolik asks to please learn more about and consider donating to: 
trans people are under an unprecedented attack in the US national/state legislatures. help orgs fighting this legislation in your state, and help orgs that work to help trans people survive and thrive amid a deeply violent social and political reality.

Fever AM with Ayesha & Sobolik - 27 May 2023

Stolen Velour (@stolenvelour) returns to Kindergarten Records with another confident display of intricate sound design and mind-bending rhythmic fluidity. In equal parts an embrace of silliness on the dancefloor and a serious piece of floor-shaking heft, Jasper builds on the palette of his last EP with the label, Onyx, and elevates Stolen Velour’s sound to new heights. A pair of label regulars switch up the flavours on the remixes. Sobolik (@tomsobolikmusic) strips back the opener to inject some space and a touch of dub, whereas Despina’s (@despinadespina) take on ‘I Know, I know’ tames some of the og’s wilder impulses to laser-in on strobing breaks and a wobbly low-end groove.

With Slipstreaming, the first split EP on the label since 2021, Ma Sha (@masha-ny) teams up with Sobolik (@tomsobolikmusic) to return to Kindergarten origins in collaboration and pure energy. Taking cues from each other’s unfinished projects and bouncing ideas back and forth, the pair serve up the fastest EP the label has released to date.

Sobolik - Track Maintenance

Pre-order: https://kindergartenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/slipstreaming

@masha-ny teams up with @tomsobolikmusic on 'Slipstreaming', the first split EP on @kindergartenrecords since 2021.

Sobolik's 'As A Metaphor' is at once cavernously empty and knotty with intricacy. Big sub-bass dives, metallic tones and a dogged, rubbery bassline underpin breathy vocal chops and a taunting lead synth.

Premiere: Sobolik 'As A Metaphor'

DJ and producer Oldyungmayn's multifaceted identity is layered through both his productions and performances, influencing an exhilarating musical lexicon of 90's era rave, sharpened sound design, and a wide spectrum of music from fellow Middle Eastern producers. Intelligently navigating away from a eurocentric focus with releases on platforms such as Al Gharib, Oldyungmayn has left a mark with contributions on compilations for Parkingstone and guest appearances on NTS for hosts such as Endgame and ZULI. He was a prior resident on  on stegi.radio, and since relocating to Berlin, has performed alongside prolific artists such as LCY, Cassius Select and PAN-signee STILL, in addition to lesser-known acts like Beatrix Weapons and Selim Hex from SIRENS. Most recently, he released a collaborative EP with Estoc on Thessaloniki-based Magdalena’s Apathy, with remixes from 3Phaz and Brodinski, and has performed at festivals such as CTM and FIBER in Amsterdam.

"This mix carries many of the moods I found myself playing recently at shows during my first visit to Portugal. I played the closing slot in Lisbon, and again one week later in Porto, and found the audiences at both events really receptive to my selection. This podcast for NR links my preference for frenetic and fast-paced club tracks with smoother, slower counterparts."
