IN FOCUS: RICHARD H. KIRK 240912

Tuqoos, Julmuds debut album release is a 15 track project rooted in heavy beats that bend space and time to subvert forms of enclosure. The sounds have an almost granular detailed texture while maintaining a gripping rhythmic flow via dense bass lines and a bitter sweetness in the melodies, blurring the lines between hanging on a street corner, at a protest or in a club. Produced in Ramallah - Palestine, Tuqoos pushes up against otherwise inaccessible space, resisting the conditions of a body in capture through sounds that morph, slip through and create breaks in times and spaces that remain occupied.

Maoupa Mazzocchetti colours outside the lines. In fact, those proverbial lines have been eradicated altogether. The French-born, Brussels-based composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist is not interested in being pigeonholed or categorised, his musical ventures are guided by an urge to subvert and challenge the structures and constructs we've become accustomed to in contemporary dance music.

His work is complex and expansive; it invites the listener to be assertive rather than passive. When it comes to releases, he's made his way to some of the cream of the crop in his area of expertise: labels like Mannequin, Knekelhuis, Dark Entries and Brothers From Different Mothers have housed his work until now. 

His most recent release, the second in a compendium of LPs titled UXY Dosing©, continues his quest to break down the constructs of contemporary dance music. An exploration of "MDM (Maximal Dance Music)", a genre coined by Mazzocchetti which is linked to the over-consumption of dextrose associated with milk, the LP obliterates genre boundaries and invites you back into his consciousness-expanding universe.

Maoupa's musical mind is a perfect fit for our off-kilter Wednesday series so we enlisted him to take care of this week's. Get yourself acquainted...
