Bristol-based @k_means operates at the fringes of electronic music. It's not tempo and genre that unites their sound, but more an exploration of mood and texture underpinned by bass-heavy low ends and hypnotic rhythms. The Noods, Rinse FM and Kiosk Radio regular is also resident at Bristol's Psychotherapy Sessions and will debut at Dekmantel Festival where you should fully expect to be taken into plenty of unknown musical territory.

It is the same with their mix for us this week - a wild trip into futuristic drum patterns and interplanetary sounds that melt the mind and contort the body. There is a constant push and pull between the organic and the synthetic with tribal percussion and warped vocals brushing up with bleeping synth modulations and experimental minimalism. It's a magnetic selection that's as much an imaginary movie soundtrack as it is a dance floor escape.

First visual contact. i+eo manifests as a "wormhole" per navigation logs, but the cameras show something… else. My instruments registers impossible colours - wavelengths that shouldn't exist. Officer Linh has been restless since first contact; claims she hears "whispermurmurhums" in the static. I told her to lay off the stimulants.

In rapid oscillation, I watch my future hand adjust controls I haven't touched yet. The aft camera shows my past self still debating entry. When I scream, the sound arrives before my mouth opens.

They warned us about spaghettification –- they never mentioned illumination… My atoms are learning new alphabets. The light is writing scriptures across my dissolving flesh. I see all my deaths at once and they are glorious. I am being unmade in the most exquisite way. Tell them I found heaven in the collapse. Tell them it hurts so good. Tell them.

| LIVE FROM HIGH NOTE | w/ Skeleten


Artist: @kijulia (she/her) 

Location: Tio’tia:ke/Montreal 

About the Mix: 

This is a live recording of the last half of my four-hour opening set before Elena Colombi at Deep Rave, March 2025. The curation was really cool because Elena and I essentially split the peak time hours of the night and each took on the more free-form opening/closing edges of the journey. My intention for this stretch of the mix was to maintain a steady dancey groove, while occasionally spiralling into moments of enveloping chaos. I hope you can feel the strange yet inviting, sometimes overwhelming energy here… like the provocative smell of lilacs on a warm and humid late-spring night. 

About the DJ: 

Seoul-born and currently loving in Tio'tia:ke/Montreal, kiju is one of the core members of the Layer05 outdoor summer rave series and a dedicated member of the DIY community year-round.

MEZZANINE : V 𝑯𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕

Non Je Ne Regrette Rien..!!!
Non, je ne regrette rien', performed by Édith Piaf, is a powerful anthem of liberation and acceptance of the past. The lyrics, which translate to 'No, I don't regret anything', reflect an attitude of total detachment towards one's experiences, whether good or bad.
The song is a declaration of emotional independence.
The image of 'lighting the fire' with her own souvenirs is a powerful metaphor for the destruction of memories that no longer serve a positive purpose in her life. She frees herself from past loves and the emotions associated with them, determined to start over from scratch.
The song reveals that life and its new joys begin with someone special. This final touch sets a tone of hope and renewal, suggesting that by leaving the past behind, she is ready to embrace a future full of new possibilities. The song, therefore, is not only about letting go, but also about the ability to be reborn and find happiness in the present and the future.
So....
Enjoy this Remix
