Campout Mix Series: Kiernan Laveaux

A searching blend of dub and electronic textures, this week's TANK Mix comes from LA-based artist Maral, who had this to say on her curatorial approach.

"Before I learned how to produce, I would use DJing as a way to convey my emotions and I always fall back into storytelling with my mixes. A gathering of songs, and the feelings that come about from them interacting with each other, a feeling of battling darkness with the small positive moments in life or a song. I always like ending my mixes with a track by Legendary Iranian singer Hayedeh, who is the epitome of holding both sadness and sweetness in her music."

TANK Mix: Maral

Back in the day, drums were used as signals for festivities and war because their sounds travelled the furthest. Azu Tiwaline has long understood that. A master in the dark arts of percussion, she makes deep and profound percussive music that seems to communicate forgotten rituals from centuries past. Her sound is dense, as if pulled from the depths of the Sahara desert in Tunisia, yet still feels spacious thanks to polyrhythmic contortions and sparse, elegant melodies.

Her productions largely fall into the confines of percussive techno, but unlike the genre's springier variants, her dubby textures and psychedelic rhythms command seriousness and move with immensity. Her Livity Sound debut, the Magnetic Service EP from 2020, connected Amazigh music with dub and techno and is a masterclass in restraint and hypnosis. Her latest release, The Fifth Dream, continues to showcase her skills in balancing light and dark tones using field recordings from her home in Tunisia's El Djerid desert, minimal ambient techno and haunting notes.

Mirroring her discography, this RA Podcast features plenty of twisted rhythms, trippy techno and straightforward club cuts. Created for movement rather than hypnosis, these selections show off a different side of her drum palette—perky breaks and syncopated kicks—wrapped in her usual weighty atmospheres.

Sunday Mix: Amor Muere

Sometime after dawn, in my favorite warehouse in Detroit – the Tangent – I got to play my favorite party filled with all my favorite DJs – No Way Back. It felt like the time for the party to take a deep breath and refill its lungs. Playing directly after Patrick Russell and right before Erika, I took the moment to give the party what I felt it needed. First, rays of light, and then expansions and contractions in the sound. 

For the technique, I played on a Model One mixer with a Moog MF Delay pedal and 4 CDJs. Much of the music is upcoming on Interdimensional Transmissions, or things I have recorded in and remastered for DJing, especially to be played on the giant Jim Gibbons rig in this room, a process I call “quick masters” or “QM” for short. Some are very rare, some have never been playable in this context, or lost gems by my heroes, like CH BB. Some are new jams being played for the first time, like “Another Planet” where I jammed with Neel in his studio in Rome this spring on my 608 (modified 606) and 303. My favorite approach to NWB is to compose new music for it and test it there, it is such a special room. 

Recorded at 6am to 7:30am sometime in the wormhole of May 28, 2023 at No Way Back, day 2 of Return to the Source.

Oso Feo is a true advocate for the underground, and lives by the ethos of building and uplifting community. He is half of curation and management for the online radio station and studio SutroFM, which provides a platform for both new and experienced DJs to share their music through radio shows, and live broadcasts. 

On the decks, he can only be described as a masterful vinyl technician. His sets will keep you locked on the dancefloor as he seamlessly transverses through electro, broken beat sounds, hypnotic techno, and psychedelic house. His musical style has been described as “TexMex ravescapes infused with lush Bay breakage.” He’s a true gem and rising star of the Bay Area underground electronic scene.

“Picture hanging out somewhere in the Northern California coast; you are beside all your besties and the sun is just starting to set. The night just started, the vibes are getting freaky, and maybe a stimulant is kicking in. This is the vibe I went for — an introduction to a psyched out renegade where the bpm is still quite slow.”

FLUX AETERNA 056: OSO FEO

Lyrics

Locked di gates, no escape, no light, Starving souls, him a steal dem fight. Blinded by flags, by gods him claim, But him hands drip blood, him a di one fi blame.

Rise wid di voices a dem weh dem deny, Truth ago break thru weh di shadows dem hide. History's judgment ago mark him fall, No escape fram di shame a it all.

War drums echo, him power’s game, Feeding pan fear, spreading di flame. Di worl look weh, dem eyes turn blind, But truth ago erupt fram di cruel design. No escape fram di weight a di scorn, him empire ago crumble, torn an worn.

Chains cyaan hold di spirit inside, Freedom fire, it nah go die. Fram di ashiz, wan nyuu sang ago plie, Di piipl dem ago riez, wan braita die.

So rise up, speak out, mek di truth flow, A reckoning comes, di whole world will know. No leader hate can silence di sound, A people strength, breaking di ground.

A re-imagination of a mixtape I never finished.

I started putting the pieces of this mix together in early 2018, and stopped after a head injury that made listening to music painful. These songs have gotten me through some of my darkest times, I hope this trip can provide you with some solace in 2020. 

Re-imagined, reorganized, re-edited songs, personal recordings, voice memos, bits of books...from “before,” from now. 

Recordings and music from: Amazondotcom, Ash Ra Tempel, ASMZ, Barefoot, Babyfather, Beautiful Pea Green Boat, Beat Happening, Carmen Maria Machado, CCL/Cecu, COH, Cocteau Twins, The Congos, Drome, The Durutti Column, Echium, Faye Wong, Freeway Fusion, Graham Lambkin, Jana Rush, Jake Muir, Jonathan Fitoussi & Clemens Hourriere, Koñca Taniec, Kelsey Lu, Kuedo, M.
