I love this description of Vancouver’s Kuma from his last record, You Cannot Cheat the Muse: “Bristol-born and Vancouver-based, Kuma has been destroying old worlds and building new ones for over two decades.” It feels like an old world at a new dawn on that album, communicated via tactile synthscapes and stretched wistful melodies. Kuma has a real sense of narrative in his music, and the same can be said for this stellar mix.
Hear more of Kuma at his Bandcamp, via Art of Beatz radio, and at The Konspiracy Group.
