AKUMEN Finds Inspiration in Connecting People to Their Inner Selves
Co-founder of the Los Angeles event series and radio show Made to Move, Akumen has cut his teeth in the local scene curating parties featuring DJs from Southern California and abroad. Having self-released most of his previous work, he now drops the high octane, four-track techno EP ‘Validity Effect’ on emerging London imprint La Bonne Musique. His EP draws inspiration from the psychological concept of the same name, “The validity effect is the increase in perceived validity of repeated statements.” It explores repeated instrumentation, drums, and 303 sequencings switched up across all four tracks to deliver a varied, club-ready release. In this interview, the budding artist shares more about his latest project, creative flow, and why a sense of community is important for growth.
