Resident Advisor contributor Angus Finlayson sits down with Rewire 2018 artist Nina Kraviz to discuss her distinctive label project, трип.
“Maybe Kraviz’s audience would prefer it if she had just one “normal self.” More than most top-tier artists, her sometimes surprising actions invite judgement and criticism (her gender surely plays a role in this.) But this doesn’t deter her. трип, launched in 2014 and best known for Bjarki’s inescapable techno hit “I Wanna Go Bang,” might be her most confounding move yet. That track is an outlier on the label: the other releases are much stranger. Most are double-pack compilations (Kraviz insists they’re albums) with cryptic titles and surreal, grisly illustrations on the sleeve. The music inside is techno in a loose sense, spanning from the high-tempo wildness of AFX’s “P-String” to the melancholy wash of DeNiro’s “Organezized.”
