For next week’s episode of Diminishing Returns I’m chuffed to introduce Deköm as our guest (aka Karmasmatik). Please note that this month, the show will be on Noods Radio on a Monday, but at the same time as usual. Deköm is Aisha who is based in Tunis and also runs Model Sex. The mix she sent us is amazing, so don’t miss this one. Check back later for the tracklist.
Deköm’s music explores sounds between minimalism and intensity. Sets often shift between deconstructed, stripped-down sounds and more club-oriented structures, using a mix of heavy bass, sharp high frequencies often paired with a ‘street’ background with a focus on raw, unpolished sound design and a muted, grey-toned aesthetic. Deköm’s interest in electronics and hardware is central to her work, shaping both her creative process and performance style. She views sound as something physical and mechanical, with a strong connection to cables, circuits, and tactile equipment which influences how she builds and presents her music.
