They say that you need to understand the rules before you can break them. If that's true, @toma-kami is a true sage of rhythm. The Paris-based artist and Man Band label boss defies convention each time he drops a new 12" or one of his famously physical DJ mixes. He bends and toys with drums and bass, twisting and turning them through the worlds of house, techno, breaks, juke and club to come up with something thrillingly fresh and hard to define.

Toma will join us at Dekmantel Selectors in August, but before that comes this week's mix. It is a masterfully controlled but edge-of-your-seat ride through all those sounds and more. At times they are piled up on top of each other to the point of collapse, at others they are teased apart and drawn out to hypnotic effect. These are supple but muscular and physical sounds that make you want to bend every bone in your body in pure appreciation of Kami's unique rhythmic gymnastics.

"My taste at the moment seems to have gone to two extremes. At home, I mostly listen to jazz and Joni Mitchell. In clubs, I’ve pretty much been playing the most stupid, over the top stuff I can find. After the last couple of years, there doesn’t seem to be much point in holding back. This mix reflects the vibe of shows I’ve played since last autumn. It was planned at the tail end of my Covid isolation and recorded on CDJs and a Xone 92 in as few takes as possible." - @minor-science

BODY MIX 013 | E-Unity

NYC’s Despina brings their signature metallic palette to the 909 mix series. Someone we’ve had our eye on for a while now through their releases on Kindergarten and All Centre, Despina is quickly becoming known for their thrilling take on club music. I think RA described their All Centre release as ‘unhinged’ and it feels like an appropriate word to describe this session. It’s robotic, sometimes spiralling out of control before commanding back into action with high energy rollers and percussive-driven rhythms. It has left me very very eager to see them play in a club setting. This itch needs to be scratched asap!

‘Gravity Games’ by Despina is out now on Kindergarten Records - buy here: https://kindergartenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/gravity-games

Peking Spring w/ mi-el 170123

The scene took place in Paris at la Machine du Moulin Rouge for Rinse France's birthday in february. We played early but the dancefloor was already completely packed.

It was the first time we played together. Few days before playing, we were wondering how to prepare the set, but we both agreed to play Freestyle and see what happens. The set is very spontaneous and full of tempo shifts, something that we both like a lot ! We should do it again in the future as it was so much fun !
