Description: There's no going back. Nobody goes back the same way they came.

Australian Kia very quickly rose up through the grimy after-hours rave scene of Melbourne to make her mark on the international stage. Now Berlin-based, her unique grasp of rhythm is rooted in a love of bass, IDM and deeper techno though she is adept at exploring a wide range of moods within those worlds. She has done so at places like ADE and our own festival and extends her good taste to the curation of her Animalia imprint and its ambient sub-label Cirrus as well as her own original tracks on Nous'klaer Audio.

In this week's mix, Kia showcases a colourful and kaleidoscopic take on techno which she says was awakened by an early trip to Japan's famously head Labyrinth festival. It's a hi-fidelity feast of supple rhythms, icy synths and deep space ambiance that unfolds in late-night fashion. The melodies are as delicate as silk, the drums rubbery yet punchy. It's high-paced future music that manages to be as delicate and beautiful as it is dynamic.

Contrary to popular belief, the fashion brand Comme des Garçons is not French. It was founded by Japanese creative Rei Kawakubo in the late '60s in Tokyo. The Japanese designer was inspired by a song called "All the Boys and Girls," by Francoise Hardy. Comme des Garçons itself is French though.. It translates to "like some boys". When you hear the word though you think of the scene in Pulp Fiction. Pumpkin calls out “Garçon! Coffee!” The Waitress sardonically replies “ 'Garçon' means boy.” She’s not wrong. Back in 1981, Rei Kawakubo held her first fashion show in Paris, but by then, she was already a household name in Japan — her fans were called the "Black Crows". Knowing the fashions of Comme des Garçons, it’s not hard to understand why, even though Fashion itself isn’t often easy to appreciate and let’s not even begin on understanding. But most people know what they like.  And we like Levi. 
Levi lives in Japan. 
And from what we understand, Levi understands fashion. 
You listen to Levi’s music. It's kinda catwalk music. Slinky. Low slung. Lo fi. 
Made for all the boys and girls. Or maybe the Black Crows. 'Garçon' means boy. 
Or something in-between.
