KIOSK RADIO x MARIONETTE x MEAKUSMA


For a special late afternoon at the Parc Royal in Brussels, Kiosk Radio, the Canadian Marionette label, and Meakusma join forces to present live performances by Laurine Frost and Chruch Andrews & Matt Davies, and DJ sets by Lexi Disques and Grimwig. For the occasion, an extra soundsytem will be installed next to the Kiosk studio. Below the phantom trees, shimmering with blue, dark and white, join us for a night of mesmerizing performances at the highest of summer.
 
Laurine Frost (Marionette, Lyka – HU) Live
Hungarian producer Laurine Frost creates abstract, utopian soundscapes that brim with jazz, dub, and psychedelic influences. Throughout his recorded work, he always aims for an approach free of structural boundaries. He co-runs the Lyka label and has released on Marionette, as well as on many other labels. Laurine creates impossible geometries out of all kinds of echoes and influences, conjuring up a very modern version of things past.
 

 
Church Matthews & Matt Davies (Odda – UK) Live
Church Andrews (aka Kirk Barley) and Matt Davies play live electronics and analog percussion as a series of sonic organisms, semi-mechanical ecosystems that click and whirr with subtle, shifting focus. Composer and sound artist Church Andrews produces textural, organic work, formed from processed studio and field recordings. Drummer Matt Davies’s work focuses on rhythmic explorations and warped synths. They recently released Yucca, an exploration of the outer limits of rhythm.
 

 
Lexi Disques (Lexi Disque – BE) DJ
The Lexi Disques label from Brussels dedicates itself to 7inches of pop with an adventurous twist. Run by Catherine Plenevaux, Lexi Disques has built up a reputation as a haven for music in a shorter format, exploring the more adventurous realms of pop music by keeping many musical options completely open. A Lexi Disques DJ set is intrinsically open-ended and eclectic, as is shown on their radio show for Kiosk Radio.
 

 
Grimwig (Marionette – CAN) DJ
Grimwig, real name Alif Safi, runs the Toronto-based Marionette label. Defining Marionette as a label for electronic and electroacoustic music, Grimwig plays DJ sets intent on avoiding club music conservatism, instead focusing on creating a mesmerizing and shape-shifting wayward musical stance. Marionette has quickly become a cult label appealing to lovers and practitioners of the deeper end of dance music and groove.

Outsiders w/ Midnightopera

Tomorrow’s edition of the Meakusma Outsiders residency of Kiosk Radio features a highly personal, mesmerising soundscape by German producer and DJ Midnightopera. All music used for this one-hour show was recorded by Midnightopera himself from 2013 to 2017. Midnightopera has released music on Workshop, Bio Rhythm and Meakusma and is a bit of an unsung hero of the deepest end of modern house music. As shown in this one hour, his music is miniaturist yet open-ended, focused on detail yet forgiving, soothing yet unafraid to be outspoken. All of us at Meakusma have always regarded Midnightopera as one of the most original and groundbreaking talents we have ever come across, this beautifully constructed compilation of tracks is ample proof of just that.
 
Tune in tomorrow to Kiosk Radio at 10AM CET (show is repeated at 10PM CET).

Outsiders w/ Lorenz Lindner

The musical universe of artist Lorenz Lindner is broad and his new mix for the Meakusma residency of the Outsiders Series on Brussels-Based Kiosk Radio is proof. Producing minimalist club music as Mix Mup, experimentally driven dance music with MM/KM and intimate, slightly off-kilter and abstract sound pieces as Molto, Lindner’s mix features some of the music that inspires his own productions. From Anthony Braxton to 2 Lone Swordsmen, to Susanne Brokesh and Dietrich Schönemann, Lindner shows his non-confrontational stance, resulting in a musical universe that dwells on subtlety, at times absurd reflection and crossing boundaries. His recent Centre De Rencontre album on Meakusma dwells in the beauty of the casual, conjuring up an improvised amalgam of synthesized sounds and amplified acoustic instrumentation.

Tomorrow’s installment of the Meakusma residency of the Outsiders Series of Brussels-based Kiosk Radio features an interview with Gerald Cleaver, conducted by ML, and a mix called ‘The Perm’, done by Cleaver himself.
 
Gerald Cleaver’s new Griots album, released by 577 Records and Meakusma, further explores the depths of the electronic music coming from Cleaver’s hometown of Detroit, combining those influences with his own incredibly versatile background in jazz. Tune in tomorrow to hear Cleaver talk about his relationship with electronic music, his life in jazz and more.
