Wild City #263: Bombie
from Wild City Hosted by Wild City
Bombie can move a club floor. She has done so for stages shared with the likes of dance music giants like Jane Fitz and Special Request. However, the Bangalore-based DJ sets a different goal for her Wild City mix, focusing instead on creating a cerebral journey. The mix kicks from an ambient starting point before jumping between leftfield, dub and downtempo without shying away from radical choices. For instance, when a 303's acid basslines (part of the usual fare for the DJ) do ring out on K.Pierco's 'Loop for the Numb', Bombie slows them down so much that they get removed from their original club-oriented style to fit her specific vision for the mix. Polyrhythmic transitions create big rhythmic leaps while the atmosphere seamlessly deepens into the low-pressure of dub. Only on the breakbeats of the two tracks by dgoHn or the footwork-ish kicks of 'persona non grata (Wordcolour Remix)' by INGI do we undeniably enter the realm of club music. Remind yourself that we started from the beatless spaces of ambient to arrive at these beat-heavy genres to realise the span the mix succinctly covers while fully counting upon some deep cuts.
