Opium Hum live @ Ohm (29.08.24, Transit Blackout) by Opium Hum / Hyper Real Radio

This is a live recording from a set I played for Kutmah's party at Berlin's legendary Ohm club. Anyone who knows me knows how much respect I hold for Kutmah, in my opinion he's one of the best DJs out there - his technical skills, his eclectic selection, his unique ability to make things work sonically and rhythmically that no other DJ could. For the set I decided to go back to the Opium Hum roots - originally the project was created as a spin-off to channel a darker, industrial-leaning side of my personal taste, which a lot of people still associate with the name. Its not that my taste has changed over the years, its just that I enjoy playing different music these days than I did back then, but the dissonance and darkness of post-industrial is still a red thread throughout everything I do.

This set is a reconciliation of sorts - an exercise in tonality, tension and sonic structures, and a celebration of transformation and continuity in my own DJing practice and artistic self.
