First Light's Third Space #8 - KMRU & Beau Beaumont

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

This very special episode of Third Space pairs two forerunners of the contemporary ambient scene, Nairobi-born, Berlin-based KMRU and Liverpool's Beau Beaumont.

In a Third Space first, all the music you hear throughout the show has been created by the artists themselves, offering an intimate window into their relationships with their cities.

Prodigious and fast-rising star of the underground electronic community KMRU takes the reins for the first half of the show, exploring the sonic character of Nairobi through his vast library of field recordings and luscious synth meditations.

Meine Nacht curator Beau Beaumont (fka Breakwave) takes over for the second hour, premiering a piece called L8 - a journey into the vibrant city of Liverpool through the lens of her fine-tuned creative practice.
