LA based photographer Father Hickey compiles some of his most treasured finds that frequent his head and often exit the sleeve. Hickey's interest in records commenced around his youth; scoping YouTube for samples to make Hip Hop beats as affording wax was out of reach. This mix contains some of the cuts that will be making their way on to Big Nice - a record label he is launching this summer carrying Jazz-Funk and Rare-Groove, sifted from 45s of the 70s and 80s. The project is dedicated to recovering, preserving, and presenting the unique and quietly sensational sounds in music that spanned the second half of the 20th century.

For the lovers of obscure sounds from across the globe, Music For Empty Rooms is a treasure trove of music that can’t be ignored once coming onto your radar. Gabriele started the channel a few years back without any particular goal other than to serve as an outlet for his musical discoveries. With an extensive palette that spans across many countries and genres, as a blanket term he describes his taste as “less-known” music from the past century. Take the time to be immersed in 80 minutes of top shelf 70’s & 80’s Soul, Jazz, Folk and more.

"Blue Aura is associated with serenity, truth and honesty; however, aura sounds similar to óra (“hour”), so a second reading/listening could describe the midtime between day and night. 

A dj with subtle presence in the scene, Dopé holds residencies and one-off appearances at various bars and club nights in Greece. Known for favouring turntables in his performances, track selection varies in every dj set, reflecting his latest archive explorations and appreciation of current music intelligence."
