[17] Kuri Kondrak
We’re a long-time fan of Seattle selector Kuri Kondrak, whose range and taste we came to appreciate with frequent guest mixes for WNUR’s “Sonic Sunset” program (In fact some of those 2006 mixes still stand tall among our favorite ever). We know It may seem almost de rigueur these days for DJ’s to pull a lot of “cross-genre” material, but we’ve always been damned impressed with Kuri being able to move from Italo to Hip Hop to Techno without a hitch, the kind of confidence you only get with a deep record collection. Kuri is the former music editor at Resonance Magazine (RIP) and has played up and down the West Coast. This is a great mix as always, Techno-focused with choice cuts from the 90’s through to hot off-the-press releases.
