For the eight year, I’ve been putting together this mix which is a personal selection / exploration of healing and transformative music: songs that have a deep sense of spirituality without being religious in nature. A feeling that can be found in music of all genres, eras and cultures.

On a usual year anywhere on the planet, a beautiful spring morning feels like a precious gift. However these past 12 months have been anything but usual. I would like to dedicate this mix to all that have lost loved ones, faced difficulties and personal challenges.

Dedicated to my mom. 
Dedicated to Marc Bartissol aka Dull. Dedicated to Phil Larochelle.
Dedicated to all of us who have survived the storms.

SPRINGTIME SPIRITUAL Mix Vol. 8 (2021) - Hand-picked by Lexis

Pre-Order Vinyl ~ https://other-joe.bandcamp.com/

Other Joe is the pseudonym of producer, mastering engineer, and label-head Joe Buchan, an individual with a penchant for free-wheeling experimentation and genre-crossing musical tastes. Drawing upon a wide array of sounds that pay homage to his love of both the beautiful and the abrasive, Joe devours indiscriminately whatever sounds might cross his path, the result giving birth to the unique musical journey that is listening to an Other Joe record. 

After a few years spent playing in bands and releasing small bodies of work under different monikers, Joe released what many listeners know as his breakout record, Alien Haze, a beautiful collection of recordings that oscillate from collages of field recording and found sound, sublime balearic-era saxophone symphonies, and introspective neo-classical psychedelia. 

His latest work, blessing from th eheart (typo intentional), expands on Other Joe’s love for blending field recording and acoustic instruments with electronic processing. Beginning by reviewing the catalogue of creative notes he had archived since the release of Alien Haze in March 2019, Joe picked apart voice memos, Logic projects, iPhone videos and whatever else he could lay hands on. 

Says Joe, “looking over it all at once, the musical ideas I had been attracted to over the past eight or nine months started to make a bit more sense - I could see that there were instruments I was liking, or chord progressions that I kept coming back to, structures and forms that I had found engrossing. Sort of like putting together a jigsaw puzzle that I had made without realising.”

'blessings from th eheart' is out Friday, December 3 via Bedroom Suck Records.

Aptly titled, ‘Welcome’ is the debut album from Don Glori. A kaleidoscopic free dive into his world, featuring 8 recordings of revolving jazz, Brazilian, soul and funk inspired compositions spinning together and blurring into a genre bending slew of new music.

There is an intangible element of joy and connection sitting just outside the grasp of description or definition that can be felt throughout this album. Each song on this album captures the spirit and irrepressible energy that underpins the core of the Don Glori project. Imperfections are captured along with the moments of transcendence. Layers of vocal harmonies oscillate next to pulsating samba rhythms while spiritual overtones permeate throughout. Congas and percussion form a holy union with the drum kit, co-piloted by Don Glori’s own bass lines. Saxophones, horns and flutes flutter in between the musical canyons carved out by the piano and vibraphone. When you press all of these forces together you can start to feel the intangible; the intrinsic human elements existing in the creases. The sweat, excitement and willingness of each musician to dedicate their spirit and take risks on every track of this album.

Don Glori 'Welcome' LP is out Friday, October 14

Pre-Order ~ https://dagdagdag.bandcamp.com/album/pedestrian-life

After a long, long wait since the release of Dag's much lauded and widely received debut, Benefits of Solitude, Brisbane-via-Melbourne weirdo country outfit Dag (a.k.a the Dusty Anastassiou Group) have dropped the first teaser from their forthcoming sophomore record. 

Juicily short and to the point, 'Point of You' is the teaser Dag fans have been looking for, showcasing Anastassiou's simple yet powerful songwriting and knack for hard-hitting lyricism. It hints at an enormous development in Dag's sound, rising from layered dissonance into a melody that is sure to haunt listeners for days. 

"Point of You is a song about dead ways of living on a dying planet. It’s about the seeming futility of life in an ever more corrupt and corrosive world. And how, if at all, one can combat the odds stacked against nature, love and altruism. It is the death knell for life as we know it – heralding the void of uncertainty, and a chance to be reborn." - Dusty Anastassiou

'Point of You' is the first taste from 'Pedestrian Life', Dag's sophomore record and double LP due out June 25, 2021 via Bedroom Suck Records.

Dag - Point Of You

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Yet again we tune in for another tale of adventure and hope, a poem of escapism heard through someone else’s ears, those ear’s that I speak of belong to Skin Contact aka Matt Sikora via lockdown in Brooklyn NY. A modern-day lullaby, nothing short of perfection, it literally oozes relaxation. And it’s time to do just that. 

I don’t know much about the guy except that he’s real, and he’s been living in New York for a bit and he’s recently returned home to Melbourne, Hopefully, this softens anyone’s woe’s as it did mine and irons out any thoughts as it did his. 
I liken this mix to a sun-drenched afternoon sabbatical into the subspace of the dream world, a lucid trip with heavy eyes and a comfy pillow. Perfect for a power walk through some green space, perfect for the trip home from a music festival or camping (we miss you). Gently caressing audible cotton buds removing any form of tension held in every way possible. It's just fucking lovely. Put on plane mode, press play and coast through this strange thing called life for the next hour or so.

His words >> “I put together this mix that I think might suit FHUO, It’s compiled of music that has helped soothe the last few months of isolation in my Brooklyn apartment. The tracks try to channel some calm between ambulance sirens in New York and hopefully anyone else still in lockdown finds it useful”

Hang in there friends. Much love to you and yours.

FHUO # 44 // Skin Contact
