Rinse FM Podcast - Evan Baggs Garage Hour - 15th August 2014

Occupying Bokeh Versions’ NTS show indefinitely, Drowned By Locals in collaboration with Ian Bruner present: Music for Parking Garages, a bi-monthly show that invites artists to create one-hour sound pieces/hybrid mixes, inspired by the parking garage as a symbol of “the inferno of the same” and the agony of uniformity. Artists are given total creative freedom to craft sound pieces driven by their response to the text (provided [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SA6c5kr6ydWmxeDX7V8kZKsGY0w27a4edt7YuVfi6NI/edit?usp=sharing)).

Recording of Calibre's set at Dekmantel Festival 2023.

Calibre at Dekmantel Festival 2023

"The lights went off and we decided to start."
We are deeply excited to share Donato and Marco’s grand finale for the last edition of Terraforma at Villa Arconati. With great humbleness, these two masters and dear friends have carefully broadened and lulled, record after record, an intimate space of trust, exchange and deep-time connection. 
 
Also, we’d like to add a fond memory that was shared with us a few days after:

“Dozzy and Shuttle’s finale unfolded like twilight. A prolonged dusk caressed by an eerie drizzle. Shadows and whispers echoing with the surroundings. Synapses slowly reaching the ground, merging and becoming one with the underground rhizomatic networks. A memorable rendez-Nous within a fractal space. It felt like being at the core center of the matrix, enveloped by a warmth reminiscent of a maternal womb. I found myself in a weightless suspension, envisioning the past, the present and the future, all together in a blink of an eye.”

We are fueled by gratitude for all this beauty.

To round off 2024 in style, we’re revisiting a set from Bristol-based Swedish DJ @k_means, playing the very last set of Unsound 2023. The eclectic selector takes us for a wild ride through the weirder corners of club music – going from off-kilter footwork to dub and bashment dancehall.

Unsound Podcast 106: k means

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.

Dekmantel Mix 487 - k means

Enter the mythology of NYC artist James K - her sound, equally organic and electronic, is a combination of odd dreams, hybridizing enchanted samples, ripped, broken and morphed rhythms, and vocals, both incomprehensible and appealing.
