Kiki D Guest Mix 0008 – Oct 04

In our guest mix #0008 we introduce Bristol based DJ and producer Kiki D, who has gifted us with a mix that evoques the soundtrack to this city, in her eyes.

She tells us:

“Bristol has such a wide and eclectic range of scenes and sounds that have all had their influence on me over the years. I wanted to record something that would express a bit of where the sound I love has come from and where it could be going. The resurgence of break beats and rave sensibilities has brought new life to Drum & Bass- some call it Jungle Footwork, others call it Weird-Step, Slow/Fast or Halftime.”

We feature an hour mix full of fast-paced genres for those who can’t keep still, whose minds move faster than their body. A journey for disrupted thinking, which reflects in Kiki D’s crafting skills.

“My life in general is quite chaotic, as are my thoughts. What with being trans and mentally ill my body and mind are in a constant state of flux.”

“I think it’s why I feel so at home with how this lack of a concrete term allows for this incredibly varied sound to develop and continually evolve. It feels very comfortable and familiar to me, my mixing has always been striving towards making this sea of percussion that nearly doesn’t work but blends into a solid wave of sounds and beats that tunes in and drowns out my hectic mind.”

Listen on demand in all platforms.
