Next up on the series! 

With KUMP label head honcho, from France, taking us to #70 with an eclectic journey of ambient field recordings, saturated beats and unnerving distorted vocals. Sit back and soak this one up. 
We also caught up with him a for a chat below>>

AM: Hey hey! What have you been up to recently? 

Hi, thank you very much for the invitation!
I am currently following a course on Permaculture. I am reading quite a few books about it while searching for a house in the countryside with a nice land where I could settle.
I wish to dedicate my time entirely to permaculture and art projects.

AM: The mix is really wicked, with unfolding  field recordings and experimental ambient bits throughout. Where and how did you record the mix? Any theme behind it too? 

I am glad you enjoyed it. I simply made the music selection on my computer, in Popi's company, our rabbit who was having a nap.
Behind the music selections, I tend to seek for introspection. I  aim at pushing the listeners towards unknown areas, sometimes filled with serenity, sometimes very extreme and anxious.
I like to mix music genres, from concrete music to noise music,  introducing a bit of club tracks while keeping an experimental spirit to the whole mix.
I avoid producing linear club mixes.
I enjoy polyrythms, breaks in rythms, silence and parasite sounds.
For sure, these are not made for being listened to at an after-work with colleagues but more at home, sitting on a comfortable chair, with your eyes closed.

AM: We absolutely love your latest release on tape, ‘Transmutation’. Can you tell us about the inspiration for the album, and the set up you use?

Once again, thank you!
Regarding the inspiration for the album, it's a bit like the music selections. I take inspiration from spiritism, occult rites, religion, voodoo, legends, mythology as well as from the oceanic realm.
The unknown and what lies beyond this life are the main sources of inspiration.
To create this album, I worked from field audio recordings, with my modular system and an electric guitar.

AM: Whats next for you?

A new release on my label KUMP is coming early June. A first album from Mert Seger which is a new project.

I am also working on new projects with our collective Meth.O.tapes. We have several sound installation projects, and A/V lives going on.

Finally, a new album with Warzou is on the way as part of our project Warzabart.

'Personal quest in exploring the unknown and the familiar, at times dark, at others hopeful, victorious, wonderful. Each 2 months, for 2 hours a time, structured as a series of loosely connected shows, Vanja Rakić interprets a specific topic of choice, in the process excavating sounds from around the world made by those eager to question, and be at odds with the status quo. Embracing the unpredictability, letting go of control and dwelling into alien territory, “naked gums” is here to pose a peak into the alternative, drawing the curious in, and spitting them out on the other side of the tunnel, challenged hopefully.’
