D.K. Eighteen Movements

Abstrakce Records

Valencia-based experimental label Abstrakce has been building a reputation for the finest leftfield and avantgarde music since its 2015 formation. Once again dangerously on-point, the imprint releases a magnificent collection of live recordings from Parisian producer and performer, Dang-Khoa Chau, aka D.K. The recordings, captured at various live shows between 2017 and 2019, take us on a meditative journey through ambient soundscapes that sound at once unfamiliar, yet warm and inviting. Jangling melodies, tribal rhythms, unusual woodwinds, beautiful gongs is a masterclass in expansive and meditative ambience and experimentalism.
