Candy Showcase #2 - DJ Killing | Radio Rudina

INFO & TRACKLIST : 

It has been a crazy inspiring year and I was lucky to get the opportunity to express that in such a beautiful way. 

Here is a selection of pivotal ambient tracks, a glimpse into French impressionism and synesthesia, contemporary classical, film scores and sound collages from some of my adventures around the world chasing this music dream. 

This was a completely new experience for me, I've never played an ambient set before and never attempted to record music in a Gothic cathedral before. What you're hearing is a mix of line-out and microphone recordings from around the pulpit. 

Of course, with any experiment, the first time is a steep learning curve. Luckily I was invited back to this magnificent place in March 2015 and can't wait to go deeper into this process.

Thanks to Palma and Christian for the unforgettable experience.

Retter @ HÖR - 22/11/2024

For our 13th submission we have Berlin Based, DJ Killing co founder of the party series Royal Highness. 

A description from DJ Killing about this mix  :) 

This mix is an attempt to fix my confusion. Around 150 Beats Per Minute express my joy of Ghetto - Schranz, a genre I co created with Indigo Plateux. It blends Ghetto, Gospel, and Soul acapellas over fast-paced drum machine rhythms and bleeps, reaching BPMs as high as 170. Yet, despite the speed, the sound still feels laid-back, not overly aggressive. My best of "harter scheiss" is mixed raw and unfiltered, exclusively for Weeeirdos.

A bit more complex - like our lives - unklar #035 still leaves space for dreaming, showing the reality as it feels now: steady, shifting, and quietly intense. No dramatic highs or lows - just movement, emotion, and texture.

The journey begins with an unreleased ambient track from my good friend @mak_p, then slowly evolves into deeper, more driving territory, through hypnotic rhythms, and deep textures. 

This episode is shaped by both new & old school productions from some of my favorite artists, like Oscar Mulero (via an Orphx remix), Colin Benders, and VRIL + contributions from Jay Clarke, Peter Van Hoesen, and Shlomi Aber. unklar #035 arrives at its destination with Joey Beltrams' timeless "Drome" ✨

unklar mixtapes #035

DJ Killing and juan and only joined forces at our Lecken My Buttons 2025 edition to turn up the temperature and strip us down to the essentials. DJ Kiling is known for his cheeky, funhouse-mirror take on techno and house, with frequent excursions into more regional scenes like ballroom and schrantz. His sets are notorious for those jaw-dropping moments when he flips familiar tracks into something deliriously unrecognizable. Meanwhile, Juan brings percussive elegance, situating the cumbia, reggaetón, and baile funk styles of his upbringing alongside the shiny, metallic thumps of European club music he's mastered along the way. He's got that rare gift for making cross-cultural fusion feel inevitable rather than forced. These two dirty birds swooped in, ruffled our feathers and funked us up.

Campfire Stories 57 (Inside the Imaginarium) by Silent Wanderer for Stephen Hitchell

~ About The Story ~

Campfire at the edge of the woods, close to the beach. All begins with a rain shower but suddenly the sky becomes cloudless. Lying on your back, watching the starlit sky, listening the campfire crackling, the sound of waves crashing to shore. You enter the imaginarium, dreaming of distant galaxies. Beyond starlit skies, beyond gravity, right to the point where the music takes over…everything.
