In his conversation with GROOVE, conducted on the occasion of Innervisions‘ 20th anniversary, Âme’s Kristian Rädle details how the music emerges from the unique social and musical fabric he has created within the past two decades with his the label’s co-curator Dixon, more recently joined by Jimi Jules and Trikk.
The GROOVE mix complements the interview, offering a glimpse into Kristian’s art of DJing. It combines a radical understanding of electronic music’s modernity with an ear for melodies drawn from a wide range of stylistic contexts, sometimes transcending the realm of club culture. A wry sense of humour runs through his set, unexpectedly cutting through electronic music’s immersive experience.
