f048 - hew - chase the clouds away

Frog Of Earth on pod duties before the Christmas break. 
Known for producing ‘Intelligent frog music’, the Dublin based artist serves up a 40 min mix of Downtempo, ambient/experimental, folk, and hip hop.  
You can catch some of Mel Keane’s intricate and elegant production as an album over on wherethetimegoes. It’s amazing and we fully recommend you take a listen. 
Small interview below too>>

AM: Hey hey! What you been up to recently?

Hello! I've recently relocated to a small town in the midlands of Ireland after spending three years in Portugal. Missing my pals back there but have been absolutely loving the cold weather and living outside of the city. Back in a proper routine of working on music for the first time in years, so finally gonna finish some projects I've been working on for a long time. Also spending a lot of time walking and cycling around. I got a new bike that's like a hybrid between a touring bike and bmx last week, it is truly the dream whip!
 
AM: How and where did you record the mix? Was there any theme etc behind it?

It's all over the place in terms of genre and mood, so I suppose the only theme is just that I really like all of the music in it. Unintentionally, about half of the music in it is made by friends actually, I have only copped that now. 

I spent a few days here just going through the stuff people had sent me, my youtube likes, recent Bandcamp purchases, etc, then just started putting it all together in a session, collage-style. I'll start with maybe 100 tracks and whittle it down. I think about fun/interesting transitions more than a linear trajectory. It probably doesn't sound like it to whoever is listening to it but I spend a pretty absurd amount of time arranging these things haha. I can only manage to make one or two per year. It would be amazing if I could apply this level of concentration to working on my own music.

AM: What have you got planned for 2023? 

Frog-wise, I've got an LP nearly done, which will be out on wherethetimegoes at some point next year. I've also got a single coming out on a great label based in NYC in January, but I'm not sure whether I can openly announce it yet. In any case, I'm excited about that. I have a couple of shows in the UK in Spring too.

Apart from that, around this time last year, a group of us who are loosely affiliated with wherethetimegoes got together for a week in Mayo in the West of Ireland and recorded lots of music over the course of a week. Seán Being has spent the year extracting an LP from the sessions and it's gonna be out soon. 

Life-wise I'm going to spend the next few years learning construction and carpentry with the hope that I can partially escape the laptop prison in the future. Dreaming of building a little house or studio somewhere heavenly. Time will tell.

That's all for now I think, thanks for having me :)

She is an iconic player in the area and also actively works as a producer. She has eleased Footwork/Jungle influenced 4-track EP "In Lost" last summer on Bandcamp. For the first half of the show today, Shizka got us very smooth and joyful mix, with bouncy Techno, House and Breaks, and the second half will be Ascalypso's mix, with groovy Techno, Breaks and euphoric Leftfield Bass tracks with some ambient sounds.
