m50 is an enigma. Releasing music as Area for years, starting and running Kimochi in 2010, contributing to the Gramaphone Records blog, DJing worldwide, yet still remaining extremely low-profile, the attention always on the art and never on the person. This same ethos runs through Kimochi. No advertising, likely discovered via word-of-mouth (the way we did), small run releases that aren’t about moving units, always remaining true to a vision of immersive textural sounds presented in a unique and meaningful way.
The Maybe More Oblong mixtape encapsulates this same spirit, deep melodic techno swims with hallucinatory house and euphoric trance-breaks, each turn a surprise, pushing us down into the murk only to pull us back up into a glowing light.
