Next up in the series and hailing from Montreal is phubu (@phubu), who's also known from her many interesting works as RAMZi. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Phoebé, great to have you on board. You're from Canada, what has been keeping you busy there lately? 

P: Lately i've been reconnecting with family, old friends, and myself. I went back to university where, after trial and error, I'm now enrolled in 'fibres & new material practices' and this program in sustainability, which combined, should respond better to my visions and ambitions. I try to be outdoor as much as possible, 're-materializing my life' after too much computer time last winter (university on Zoom). Recently I started to work at this community based garden and just started my dream job working in a myco-lab where they grow mushrooms for their medicinal properties, among other projects. Also I just got back into composing music after 1 year break. I found a synth in this thrift store that is finally giving me some inspiration.

MFM: People might be more acquainted with your other project as RAMZi. What is the reason for you to use your phubu alias for this occasion? 

P: RAMZi is a wild spirit and also refers to a parallel autonomous world that keeps evolving. It's never been about me, I always see that entity is bigger than myself. Its why I've been reticent to promote the music with pictures of me. The music remains as doorways to that world. Phubu is an alias I use sometimes for dj mixes, it was one of my names in high school and always liked it.

MFM: Your music is very versatile in sound and sonics, it rarely ever sounds the same. Where does that come from, can you share a bit about what inspires and influences you? 

P: That's nice to hear cause often I feel I used some of the same sounds over and over. Its also what made my sound signature I guess. My main influences are from growing up in the 90s between Montreal and the countryside in this very free-spirit, progressive, intercultural, artistic environment. I grew up with my dad listening to music from all over the world, much jazz and experimental music and we use to go to music festivals during summer. He exposed me to cultures that create musical fusion of genres. That gave me this strong impression that music has no borders, it can transport you in some far off state of mind without bringing you to a specific geographic place.

MFM: So do you listen to other music a lot then? 

P: Yes I do, I listen to NTS and Youtube quite a lot. I often need music to soothe myself. I like to be transported in another world, I seek music that elevate me spiritually.

MFM: Do you have a specific go-to approach or workflow when composing? 

P: It's quite a go with the flow, intuitive approach. Now that i'm more stable and have the space, I want to work with musician friends in my studio for my next album. Being busy with other projects, anything else than music, always helps me to feel more inspired when I get back to composition. Music can't be the center of my life, and I never wanted it to be, but it became difficult to keep a distance from it when I started to go on tour. 

MFM: Thanks a lot for your contribution. Initially you said you had been struggling to finish another mix. Do you find it a challenging task? 

P: Every time it’s like a puzzle. I always have tracks of different genres for which I need to find a way to make it all fit together as a narrative, a journey. For me it only works by playing around in Ableton Live, let intuition, luck, my environment and personal events enter in the equation. I always like to make my mixes in Ableton – it has a sound collage approach to it where I can slice and edit, add layers of voices, play around with the tempo and pitch. I tried to use CDJs this time but that didn't inspire me much so went back to Ableton. Hopefully there’s a flow somehow :)

Khotin has been a key figure in the developing Electronic music scene emerging from Canada - for over ten years he has been producing and releasing music.

His sound has evolved exponentially, weaving between sounds and styles with cohesive ease of which others might only dream of. His records have found a home somewhere between the heady 90's ambient and trip hop era, deep house and has drawn upon abstract influences from balearic roots, trance and a whirlwind of other other cultural guises.

All of this makes his music remarkably interesting and hard to pin down.

His forthcoming album "Release Spirit" is forthcoming on acclaimed label Ghostly International. It features a collection of ambient soundscapes, tape recordings and off piste samples as Khotin draws inspiration from far reaching influences such as World of Warcraft, train journeys through Europe and Japan, family vacations and beyond.

We asked Khotin to record a mix which reflects a similar nature of the new album - the result is a delicate assortment of textures which lend themselves to a brooding optimism for the year ahead. At least we hope..

Outsiders: dispari w/ Even Tuell @ Kiosk Radio 06.04.2025

salam ! 

i thought it important to stay true to the emotions that birthed seed. so the first one is from me 

i found this process very difficult, got stuck in the headspace of wanting to make it a good ‘mix’ but it just not working while staying true to these feelings. and i realised that it’s not meant to be make sense, feeling these emotions simultaneously is jarring, it’s abrupt highs and lows, it’s stop and start, it’s silence. cold and warm. it’s the complete disruption of flow following slight cohesion- conflicting. it’s disrupted diversions into altering soundscapes

i had a go at this a few times, and this version was my last attempt. i cried the whole way through and it was on that very spicy full moon, it’s raw- but it’s honest

this is how heartbreak and introspection sound to me 

big love

SEED001 ~ 'siren in my dreams' ~ on heartbreak and introspection

A special guest mix from the underground cat with a record collection that would put any purist to shame. A man of the people, Floor Length Skirts is one to share such gems (check his youtube channel). Putting a pigeon amongst the cats, your man is coming in hard with just over an hour of his fav 'hardcore adjacent' records, pull up your socks and crack a cold one kids.
