“Earlier this year, I invited my friends Ben and Arthur to play at the club, and while the night itself was a blur of incredible moments, what stayed with me most was a feeling of deep connection—that very sick feeling that comes from friendship. Friends, in many ways, are chosen family. They can allow for a sense of self that feels free, intuitive, and alive. I see this same dynamic at the heart of Karenn’s live performances. Blawan and Pariah have a remarkable ability to walk the line between chaos and control. Their sets are completely improvised: raw, industrial, organic, unpredictable, modular, analog, digital, precise. I don’t think this improvisation is just about skill; I think it’s fuelled by that same intuition and mutual understanding that comes from years of friendship. There’s more to their magic than I can fully unpack, but November 22nd is a good place to start to answer the question: are Karenn the best techno live act on earth?” – Words from Bake himself
