DIMENZIONE DANZA on Radio80k w/ JFG4Y & ferrari rot

We're extremely excited to kick off our kineti-cast 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 series with a very special recording from Brighton based @caldera-caldera

Malte headlined our inaugral kinetic party back in September, where he took us on a psychedelic journey which is quickly becoming his trademark.

I didn't plan the tracklist but had the idea of starting quite uplifting and energetic, then raising the tempo and going a bit more trippy and fast.

Thank you! I mostly go with rhythmic or melodic elements that fit together and see what feels right in the moment. I feel like theres so much good music that can be mixed together that I don't want to limit myself. At the other hand I'm not sure if I'm being a bit all over the place sometimes - I suppose it's always a bit of a fight finding your sound and this year I have really noticed that with djing.

I started playing the flute when I was 6 or so, then was in some death metal & hardcore punk bands in my teens playing bass and guitar but really started getting into producing around 2009 with a sampler and then around 2011-2012 properly into producing with the computer. Started buying & playing records in 2010.

I really love having some kind of soundworld in my music. I just like to create it and sort of sit in that kind of place. I find that very peaceful, even if it maybe sounds quite dark from the outside. I also try to add so many sounds that it's hard to tell where they start and end. Some kind of organised chaos - definitely an inspiration that comes from listening to Flying Lotus' Los Angeles Album.

The other big thing for me is sub bass. I somehow find very deep kicks extremely satisfying so that's an important factor for me, too.

CultureCast017 by @discjockeyfrank

At 5.2, it might be hard to see DJ Frank when she's behind the booth, but no matter how hard you try you will not be able to ignore her presence on the decks. With a varying and flowing selection that moves inbetween different genres and styles, DJ Frank has found a grimey sweet spot somewhere between electro and breakbeat, bubbling acid basslines and sassy vocals. Overall the type of beats to turn not only a frown, but also a club upside down. Utilizing this skill, DJ Frank has played in notable venues. With her collective @prudecollective she has a residency at @radio80000, hosts events and offers DJ-Workshops, setting out to become any techno-scene-gatekeeper's worst nightmare. (Text written by: @itsnarciss)

This is what she has to say about the mix:

"Summer is coming and you can already feel a slight tingle. The sun shines on your face and your whole body warms up. The corners of your mouth can't help but turn upwards. You drive through the city, wearing sunglasses for the first time and blasting juicy summer tunes. Housy vocals and driving percussions make it hard to sit still. Well, that pretty much sums up my mood for this mix. I hope you can feel it too."
