Recorded live at The Kraken in Anomalie Art Club Berlin. The Live set of Leipzig's SODA KIDS was a highlight in the late morning on the main stage. We like to share this memory with those who danced with us and share the special sound of this young talent with everyone out there.

Enjoy one hour of versatile styles, covering Electro, Breakbeat, Ghetto, and Bass with a few cheeky samples here and there. And when you visit Leipzig you might be lucky enough to check out a party of the Bake La Cake crew which Soda Kids is part of.

KrakeCast 022- Khan

Welcoming the amazing artist, film-maker, and musician Khan Of Finland to the KrakeCast ahead of his special show at #krakefestival next month. In this mix, he showcases solely his own Super-8 tracks; in his own words “hyper psychedelic, slow-moving, and deep building ambient-house tracks” that “work at home as much as they cook up a hot voodoo stew on Berlin dance floors”.

Transistors Of Mercy + Pixelflowers present "Colourful Blackout", a specially commissioned project for Krake Festival 2021
We are very excited to welcome these legendary artists to perform a very special show as one of our streaming partner floors for this year. Each performance by the Transistors Of Mercy is an emergent phenomena. It exists only as a temporary network of integrated sound-producing elements - circuits, capacitors, oscillators, filters and human intentions. Electrical current is sent through a system of modified analogue hardware collected from the 1970s onwards to produce extended but unrepeatable musical events.
Each TOM performance becomes an improvised object that exists through being heard. It is an object without a centre and constituted from a multiplicity of listening perspectives.
As such a TOM event is only partially and unsuccessfully captured through conventional video technology. For this specially commissioned project, Pixelflowers will synthesise a new multiplicity of real and imagined perspectives into a standpoint that sees from no particular point at all and therefore from everywhere. Signals are processed in a positive feedback loop which transforms image material into a compound-vision that cannot be reduced to its individual parts.
