The 2009 Kalimari manifesto
The structure of this label has been entirely redone and we'll soon be ready for a go with an initial release. Basically, Kalimari will be an experimental playground for Archipel artists to release more loopy rhythmic music. The more I play gigs and see people use Traktor, the more i realize that my favorite DJs use music they loop and really appreciate hypnotic patterns.
This is where we wish to stand: Rythmics, strange ideas, tools.
We want to use Kalimari as an ongoing project of a continuous line of releases by dedicated and commited artists who wish to go for a challenge of releasing something, hopefully, every month. While returning to the basic ideas that electronic music tracks are layers to be reassembled by DJs to speak an universal language to dancers, we wish to propose audio experiences and travelling.
We're not interested in so called "bombs" or hits. The sonic experience is ephemeral and should not be directed or controlled by the producer himself, but more by the performer who communicates with the crowd. Dialog of sounds and effects as well as strange recordings will be shared as tools. This will go with Pheek's Bring Your Own Toolkit essay.
Kalimari wants to encourage its dedicated artists to go beyond production comfort zone and experience unorthodox methods such as making an album in a short period of time to get flowfull effects.
We want to release tracks and Ableton projects.
