PAVEL MILYAKOV.
"Having achieved certain recognition with his dancefloor-oriented project Buttechno, the Berlin-based artist is currently focused on sonic experiments and artistic collaborations under his birth name. Pavel uses his work as a means to acknowledge the true historic and cultural context, delving into sociopsychological issues that haunt the society, and addressing memory — both collective and individual — and its potential to change our visions of the future. Working in a variety of musical genres he created collaborative works with Bendik Giske, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Yana Pavlova, Martyna Basta, Torus, Richie Culver, Perila."

Stayer - KMRU - 22 Jan 2025

For slyn, music is a natural extension of her life as a marine biologist. " Water. Hydrofeminism. Sea snails. Water flows through us all and connects us all. And unconsciously, that comes out a lot in my sets. The flow of water. How it connects body to nature, nature to body. I like the concept of us not being individual beings, but connected through the water that flows through us, our rivers, our seas. I want that flow in my sets, or try to create that flow. I am always thinking about the layering and connectivity of the songs. Rarely will you hear one song on its own. I tend to be more attracted to natural-sounding music than heavily synthetic, probably for this reason.”

This mix carries a more introspective tone than usual. "In the last months, I have been healing from heartbreak and the loss of someone important from my life." While slyn’s ambient sets are typically light, bubbly and textured, this one takes on a moody depth, balancing sorrow with acceptance. Returning to Glasgow from a 3 week trip to Berlin, slyn channeled a newfound clarity into the set. An emotional release reflecting the persistence of life beyond loss.

Looking ahead, https://soundcloud.com/s_l_y_n has several exciting projects and shows in motion. She is increasingly focused on hydrophone and field recordings and hopes to start releasing tracks incorporating these sounds in the near future. She is deeply involved with the label and event series https://soundcloud.com/coclear , a long-time source of inspiration, and recently co-founded @ skinny.dipping__, a Glasgow-based event series that highlights women, non-binary, and trans artists inhabiting the off-kilter grey space between club/dance, experimental, and ambient music. 

Be sure to follow slyn__, there are many exciting projects on the horizon! And keep an eye on her agenda, you might spot her nearby soon!

hazy trip-hop, fragile idm and emo post-rock echoes trace the veins of sorrow, broken dreams, and the kind of love that leaves a mark; fragments, hidden in your dusken heart…

We are so excited to welcome @opheliek to our mix series. The French, Berlin-based DJ and producer has an affinity for low frequencies, intricate percussions and bass-heavy music in all its forms. As an early lover of dub music, UK techno, IDM, and illegal raves, their sound often finds itself at the intersection between dubstep, techno, IDM, with hints of psychedelic music and trance.

“I had quite a different idea originally for this mix, but ended up being quite ill and super tired the last few days, so the recording had to be much more spontaneous and less planned than what I usually like to do for a podcast. It's more of a feverish dream, and showed me I may have some bottled up feelings and a bit of anger inside (who doesn't, seeing the world we live in now)! It felt good to express it through this mix which ended up being quite intense and psychedelic, but also softer and more introspective in parts.”
