Blank Code Podcast 113 Kero live @ Abducted

Published: July 15, 2013, 4 a.m.

Today’s mix comes to us from local Detroit DJ/Producer Kero live at Abducted in Chicago’s Primary Night Club on March 9th, 2013. \xa0\xa0With over 20 releases on some of electronic music\u2019s most celebrated and innovative labels such as Bpitch, Ghostly International and Shitkatapult and most recently Touchin’ Bass as well as his own critically acclaimed Detroit Underground Records, Kero has established a reputation for his unrepentantly brash, yet cultivated compositions and unforgettable live performances, most recently, alongside notables such as Speedy J, Ken Ishii and Funkstorung. \xa0Furthermore, he has established himself as a leader within the growing pack of electronic music producers successfully infiltrating contemporary art circles world wide.
\nHis innovative approach to music, graphic design and video production feeds on the detritus of popular electronic culture, creating a montage of fleeting musical and visual experiences that are paradoxically critical and enamored with contemporary culture. \xa0Drawing on his experiences as a dual citizen of both Canada and the United States, Kero conducts visual and aural investigations that are concerned with ideas of the diametric and intermediary. \xa0Subsequently, the ephemeral nature of electronic culture, the \u201crave\u201d experience and aesthetics offers a microcosm to explore similar elements in popular culture. \xa0The result is music that blurs genres from hip-hop to the most rarified of techno experiments, video art which stirs faint recollections of print and televised media, and a design language that has ingrained itself upon the most celebrated electro-cultural market in the world.
