Ekko pres: Aquarian, Kim Dürbeck (dj-sets), lørdag 17. sept at Østre.

Hybrid, mutated strains of rave music with influence from the sounds of London, Detroit, and Berlin – Aquarian makes raw, arresting and immediate music aimed squarely at the dance floor.

His sound draws from both sides of the Atlantic, combining Drexcyian electro, old school jungle and UK grime with vertical singularity. The Canadian born, Berlin based artist broke out with a trio of records for UNO NYC in 2012 and has since released records through his own culinary-rave imprint, Hanger Management while collaborating with Caen-based producer Deapmash as AQXDM on Bedouin Records and Houndstooth.

His high energy and eclectic mixing style has found its way to Berghain, De School, Tresor and Unsound Festival, with a standout mix for Dekmantel’s podcast series. His solo and collaborative releases have meanwhile drawn support from from Aphex Twin, Nina Kraviz, Call Super, Objekt, Avalon Emerson and more.

Kim Dürbeck er en norsk-vietnamesisk Artist, dj og produsent. Kim fant elektronisk musikk som ung gutt via en slektning som spilte black metal og elektronika. Han har gitt ut en haug med utgivelser opp gjennom årene, blant annet "Nuoc Mam is My Holy Water".

Når han ikke får glitrende omtaler eller spiller kul musikk for dansende folk, så kan du finne han på utgivelser fra Dugnad Rec, Lek.Rec, Project90, summoning, Club Kowloon eller HMD. Her bryter han grenser og bygger broer mellom Jazz, Ambient , IDM, Techno og Jungle. Kim har også gjort lovende remixer for blant annet Ary, Harald Lassen og Nothing Personal for å nevne noen. Kim gir ut sin første solo 12" på Lek.Rec i 2023.
