Tolga Baklacioglu Invites: Root Radio Series

For my "Tolga Baklacioglu invites" program series on ROOT Radio, Istanbul, it has been a real pleasure for me to invite Darja Kazimira, who is a Latvian vocalist, improviser, composer, multi-instrumentalist, artist and creator of the project of the same name. The main point of Darja Kazimira project creative search is the ritual (mainly burial, funeral traditions; cults of the ground, sacred violence), and the comprehension of its space and properties. A special place in the concept of the project is occupied by the study of the construction of sacred and hierophonic space, and their relationship with thanatology, criminology, anthropology, psychiatry and ethnography. All acts of Darja Kazimira are improvisation, impulse, random confluence of symbols, sounds, languages and etc. However, all this is framed by a rigid structure within the process; discipline, bodily practices and author's methodology, where the artist's personality is erased, and the act of myth-making begins, fully integrated into life. 

Darja's mix is a really special set which has awakened lots of inspiration in myself.  This is a lot of authentic recordings from Macedonia, Greece, Georgia, Croatia, Serbia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Prussia, as well as works by such huge and wonderful musicians as Tanya Tagaq, Psarantonis (Antonis Xylouris, Ψαραντώνης), Svyatoslav Ponomarem (Purba), Yan Nikitin (Театр Яда), Alexey Tegin (Phurpa, Corps) and Stefan Joel Weisser (Z’EV).

The fourth guest for my ROOT Radio show is a very special one for me, Caline with C!! Caline with C and I have started to collaborate on making music since last spring!! It is such a great match and awesome coherence!! Some things are cooking for the next year!! ;- )

Kamilé aka Caline with C is originally from Lithuania, currently based in the Hague, Netherlands for her master studies in Sonology. Besides DJing, producing, composing, playing synthesizers and sculpting sounds, she is interested in learning new ways how to comprehend sound processes through programming. She is inspired by the chaos and order in it, nature, evolution and the human body.

I'm happy to host the amazing dj/producer, co-owner of the well-respected vinyl label Arkada Records, and my beloved friend Errorbeauty from Berlin at my "Tolga Baklacioglu invites" monthly show, on ROOT Radio!! She plays a killer dj set full of nasty 'n dirty Detroit Electro/Techno vibes for this special one!

https://rootradio.live

A professional flute musician by way of background, Errorbeauty gradually became drawn to electronic music’s intricately textured soundscapes - more specifically the broken, aggressive shades of Detroit Electro. 

Errorbeauty’s work continues to evolve and offers listeners a distinct reflection of Motor City’s relationship with the genre whilst demonstrating her own unique perspective of Electro, which brought her twice to the legendary Tresor Club for Berlin Atonal.

Last year she performed at Berlin's well respected underground event series Skizze in OHM as well as Bold, Exquisite Berlin and Disobedient Circumstance at Suicide Circus Berlin.
Together with XOR12, she launched the new electro/techno record label Arkada Records. The first EP featuring T15DM and Errobeauty herself was released on July 15th 2018 and the second EP on her label Arkada Records, a split vinyl EP featuring Autosim and Serge Geyzel which has been released on 15th of March 2019.

Errorbeauty has recently released  a bomb electro-acid 12" on Zodiak Commune Records together with Serge Geyzel and johnfaustus called Escape from Andromeda (ZC-ELEC001). She released also a digital Electro-Acid colab with Serge Geyzel on Outlaw303 called Bloody Rocket Scientists EP.
