It's hard to describe what happens at Atonal Festival... I played an unexpected 6 hours set at Ohm, in front of one of the best crowds i've ever played to. 

It was the perfect opportunity to take some risks and to build a set that travels through genres and tempos. I spent most of the time increasing the bpm and got to play every genre i'm into : techno, bass, jungle, dubstep, electro, dancehall, house, ebm, downtempo... I started at 125bpm, and rose the tempo till 160 bpm, which is the double of 80bpm. So i continued from 80bpm, to 100 and went back to 125bpm again(a 360° mix in other words!). The crowd noise was recorded too.

Big Up to Nathalie from the Atonal crew who played B2B with me for the last 40minutes, thanks to all the dancers who came, you were so connected to the music ! And of course, thanks to Paulo, Laurens, and the Atonal Festival crew for the trust <3. It was sooooooo goooood.

As usual, don't hesitate to ask for IDs.

Radio is a Foreign Country is thrilled to share chOOn!!’s warped take on a bewildering range of retro folk and popular styles spread throughout the Indonesian archipelago. Prepare your earballs for loads of gamelan funk, Javanese electro, discoid degung, queasy quasidah modern, Sumatran devil-synth, hyper footwork jaipong, cosmic calung, plasmic pop-Sunda, and drum-machine dangdut. You can hear the extended version of this mix at https://soundcloud. com/radio-choon.

chOOn!! would like to thank Romain de Ferron for generously sending his wonderfully curated tape of Sumatran gems culled from his journeys throughout Indonesia; VK and his generous gifts from Malaysia; the digging savant Herpi and his expertly curated selections; and to the ever-reliable grotto of Indonesian delights that is Madrotter - thanks Henk!

NIGHT MUSIC OF THE AMAZONIAN LOWLANDS - RIAFC 025

NIGHT MUSIC OF THE AMAZONIAN LOWLANDS (RIAFC025)

This is one of the tracks from a 70 minute collection of excerpted recordings I did with Kate Whelen (piano) in 2019. We would just sit down and start making sounds - Musical, continuous, improvised 'sound-movies' moving from soundscapes, melody, rhythms and noises for exactly 2 hours straight each time. Then, during our period of separation on 2 continents + lockdowns, I compiled a 1st album of highlights in May 2020. Check it out on the ole Bandcamp if you like.

Step to the Rhythm of the Stones

65 Million BCE

One of the most beautiful recordings I have heard. This is a gorgeous performance.
