K.I.M
K.I.M from The Presets bringing a hybrid live/DJ set to The Lab SYD is exactly the kind of genre-bending chaos we live for—a cocktail of electro, indie dance, and house that feels both meticulously composed and thrillingly loose. The vibe is part studio session, part club night, with hardware littering the booth and energy crackling in the air. Technically, it’s a playful exploration, averaging 122.3 BPM across a wide 91-128 range, centered on the 12A key for cohesion. Low-end energy is balanced at 43%, allowing for funky basslines to pop, while mids soar at 47% to highlight the melodic hooks and vocal samples, and highs are kept at a tidy 9% for clarity.
The live elements add a raw, unpredictable edge, with transitions feeling more like jam sessions than calculated mixes. For the tracklist sleuths, the picks are eclectic: Antonio’s 'Hyperfunk' opens with a squelchy, retro-futuristic bounce, while Juliane Wolf’s 'Far Away' offers a dreamy, atmospheric drift. deadmau5’s 'The Veldt' edit is a nostalgic progressive house moment, and Vitalic’s 'Ooey' is a frenetic electro punch. Benja Music Company’s 'Space' adds a cosmic, Detroit-tinged depth, and Steve Lawler’s 'Generation Acid (Argy Remix)' brings a tough, tech-house drive.
The journey kicks off with the synth-funk of 'Hyperfunk', builds through the vocal euphoria of 'The Veldt', and peaks with the relentless energy of 'Ooey', before closing on the tribal, percussive thump of Joeski & Gorge’s 'Jogo'. A K.I.M live set that’s a full tracklist testament to the joy of not giving a damn about genre boundaries.
