Ep 254 pt.1 w/ Kraus
Kraus is one of the most quietly important and interesting figures in Aotearoa electronic music. Since 2002, he has released 18 albums, including his latest Chocolate, Candy, Love and Dreams. Ahead of his live performance at Catacombs, he he gifts us an hour of his current musical delicacies. From Kraus: "Here are my current musical obsessions! All the way from weird Turkish fuzz disco to 70s gay porn synth, eerie Brazilian electro-exotica to headspinning FM synth kaleidoscopes, heartmelting soul romance to acoustic mbira bangers. With liberal doses of insanely hard-out funky polyrhythms along the way."
