k means (DJ)
she/they
Sat Jun 1 | Garage Noord
With a style spun more from texture and mood than limited to any specific tempo or genre, k means likes to throw you in at the deep end. They have a knack for bringing together the trippy, strange, intense, and wondrous together in unexpected ways. Expect pulsating endeavours, where mutations of broken rhythms, footwork, dub, and techno merge. Preferring to play steamy late-night sets, the Bristol-based DJ finds themselves ebbing and flowing elegantly between the rush of the club and more experimental spirals, constantly keeping you at a simmer — maintaining a laser focus on the dance floor, spinning you out only to snap you back in. Garage Noord seems like a perfect place for this to happen.
About the artist
What began as a love of playing video game soundtracks on the piano at a young age later connected to the sci-fi sensuality of footwork, intoxicated by its raw energy, intricate rhythms and visceral physicality. Nowadays k means is a resident at Bristol’s mind-expanding Psychotherapy Sessions and part of the duo Avant Garbage (together with DJ ojo). With appearances at beloved venues like FOLD, OHM, Fabric, De School, Dusty Cabinets and festivals like Unsound and Dimensions, k means proves that no room or stage is too big or small to thoroughly trip out.
