Alone

“Release Youth” from Sasha Smirnova’s record Gone Stray. Built around a simple, repetitive melody, the track combines bass-heavy minimalism, trap-inspired hi-hats, and field recordings. Calm on the surface but unsettling in tone, it lingers in tension and restraint.

Blitz x Electronic Beats — Sophie Pschorr [11.12.20]

Presenting something a little different here! For episode 92 and 93 Passing Notes played host to two guest mixes from Wrong Place.


Wrong Place is a lesser known project of Melbourne music stalwarts James Tom (Edge Worker DJ, Krakatau) and Simon Barry (Mousse, Misty Nights). With broad-reaching success in all of their endeavours, JT and Simon are wholly dedicated to making Melbourne music the best it can be; from stunning jazz tinged improv band Krakatau to the steamy esteemed disco parties Misty Nights, the pair are vanguards of their craft.


Their project Wrong Place was born out of a time where the pair found themselves somewhat disillusioned about life and music. Bonding over a shared love for funk, prog rock, experimental new wave and electronic music they found themselves chasing what they’ve termed a ‘Hard n Fruity’ sound. Progressively moving towards the more industrious sounds of new beat and EBM they were also inspired by mixing non-dance music to create a parallel energy like that of the Italian cosmic masters. Their first offering as Wrong Place slipped through the cracks – a two-sided tape that was meant to be released on Far Away Tapes which unfortunately was never released. Despite the years gone by, the two mixes are naturally timeless, a true sign of their dedication to digging deep.

Both sides of the cassette are presented here as Part 1 and Part 2, or originally sides A and B. Broadcast live on PBSfm 4/12/2020 and 11/12/2020

Wrong Place - PN 92 & 93

And here we are, closing out the year with a mix from a relative newcomer whose music has travelled well this year.

A Psychic Yes is a producer with whom some will be familiar and others not - with releases on the likes of Tech Startup, Kalahari Oyster Cult and Schloss his sound is uniquely individual. It draws upon a wide collection of influences and moods, pairing elements of IDM with playful UK bass, techno and beyond.

Each of his releases are woven as a wonderful tapestry of odd glitches, melodic flutters, strange percussion and experimental electronics. 

This mix is a representation of his sound and shows us a glimpse of what's to come in the near future for what is a very promising artist.
