In very loose terms, James K's (@jamesk_1) music operates at the fringes of the pop world. It is experimental and industrial, packed with hooks and riddled with dreamy textures that show off her mastery of synths. She has released it in album form with Dial and Incenso, dropped EPs on AD 93 and collaborated with the likes of Drew McDowall and Stefan Maie, and always manages to imbue her adventurous arrangements with real-world emotions and anxieties. This year she will join us at Dekmantel Festival but not before serving up this week's podcast.

It's the sort of rhythmically thrilling workout that has always stood James apart: jittery drum patterns and kinetic grooves that unfold at 100 miles an hour as a barrage of caustic motifs, hypnagogic melodies and hyper-real colours all bounce about the mix. There is an ever-present sense of tension in the way things are assembled - it's as if they might implode or explode at any minute, and it all sounds fantastically futuristic.

This mix is something I’ve been thinking about for a while - the reemergence of low end psychedelia. I call it a reemergence as I feel like it could be linked to the trippy side of dubstep with the likes of Skull Disco and that sound coming back but on a much broader scale. I spoke about it in an interview recently as something I’ve become obsessed with, in particular this year, and I don’t really see any platforms covering it or trying to encapsulate this really exciting musical movement. Low end psychedelia can range from techno, trance, drum & bass, dubstep and more but the through line is this deep, trippy soundscape. The mix I’ve created highlights this push and pull between the slow/fast side of this sound where it ranges from 85 to 170 bpm, weaving through spacey, swampy and wonked-out techno, drum & bass and IDM. Something that’s worth mentioning is that a lot of the artists who are coming through in this scene are based in France, most notably Lyon and that’s what I want to write about and get to the bottom of, what’s the history there and what’s going on in France right now that’s influencing this movement. Some artists and labels to shout out include Christian Coiffure, Vardae, Comic Sans Records, SousTraitance, Beatrice M., Hewan Aman, Blue Night Jungle, Monochrome Records, sindh, kick21, minú jr and many more!

Ambient music was really my saviour during lockdown. I was going through my first heartbreak and living in a different country, which I moved to 6 months before the lockdown happened. There was no escaping your feelings during this time, you had to face them head on, as soon as they appeared, so I started building these playlists filled with ambient music as a way of giving myself some headspace during particularly tricky times. Or they would be what I would listen to on my ‘sanity walks’, something I still make sure I do everyday. I have such an emotional connection to this music and there was one really tough Christmas period where I decided to turn these playlists into the sounds of healing mix series - the first edition is literally the first ever playlist I made during this time and the Refuge Worldwide show was an extension of that, showing other strings of ambient music that might not necessarily fit within the ‘healing’ theme. Stating the obvious here but music is a really powerful tool for addressing emotions and this was my way of connecting with that.

kinetic mix 037: basic chanel "low end psychedelia "

A lesson in rhythm from a former De School resident.

When it comes to minimalist dance music, Ruben Üvez, AKA Konduku, is one of the best in the game right now. With a masterful and ever-shapeshifting understanding of rhythm, the Berlin-based artist crafts sublime dance music with a staunchly leftfield bent. Don't just take our word for it: how many DJs, after all, can claim to have moved De School to a puddle of tears?

Musically, Üvez is hard to pin down. He's often billed as a techno artist, but actually you'll find his sound sits outside of the genre's many conventions. With an outsider's curiosity, he leans into diverse moods, tempos and genres, though one throughline is always how he arranges his drums. Whether it be deep, Nobu-core techno such as 2023's Hayal EP or UK beat science á la Peverelist on 2019's  Gegek, he leads with rhythm across his DJing and production. The end product is a hypnotic, one-of-a-kind sound that hits the body before the brain has time to catch up. In short, it slaps.

As Üvez's RA Podcast demonstrates, he's got a serious knack for crafting and selecting tunes that can  deeply captivate a dance floor. Clocking in at just over 90 minutes, RA.967 is an excursion through a timeless sound, packed with long, layered blends, flick-of-the-wrist transitions, locked grooves and spine-tingling atmospherics. In 2020, we called Ruben Üvez one of techno's brightest new talents. This mix sees him ascending to a seat at the top table.
