'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.

As we build up momentum and start to get our lives back on track, something (life) might be moving a little too fast. It would be wise to take note, take some time out, and slow down for a minute (or 127). It just so happens that I have the ultimate reality stabiliser in the form of an emotional tapestry to help you do this, woven by none other than Mr. Kev Danzey, one of the unofficial mascots of Naarm. 

Now, this bloke is a bit of an enigma, a big heart with a smile to match always got time for everyone else, someone you’d like to have a beer with. Incredibly talented on both sides of the decks, his net casts deep into every corner of the audible universe. He can mix his way into and out of a baking competition. A founding member of the Sunset Sounds movement (TIP!! (Of the hat to k-hole disco)), Wether a 5 am D-floor destroyer or dinner time digestive discourse in all things non-dance, his grasp on all things musical is second to none, and this little recorded piece of time is a resume to back this up. 

Never has there been such an acute collection of emotional pieces put together in such a way that has the potential to move mountains. I’ve listened to this mix so many times and it hits every-fucking-time, at certain points reverberating through the body, in-between those points, coursing through the body like blood. Maybe I'm a bit dramatic but I'm just trying to get the point across, maybe I’m also biased, but fuck it. Anyway, this is something you send to your parents and play to your children, it transcends most things and ascends most situations. Perfect for road trips down the coast with people you hold dear. On that note, go for a drive, press play, get out of here, cya when you get back.

Be as good as you can be.

The Best Effort Show - Episode Twenty Five (Ernest & Young)

As the sun sets over the crater on the 3rd day of Hopkins Creek.
I perch in the Planetarium tent, a space assisting for meditation, reflection, calmness, togetherness & a bit of a dance if you so will.
Jack tells me "Feel free to not play ambient music if you want".
My interpretation of music presented here was put together on the fly, it is in my eyes, uplifting, hopeful, joyful & tender. 
A warm hug shared between friends over the course of the three days.
Special life-long memories.

Thanks Jack for inviting me to play & to the Hopkins crew for putting together such a beautiful weekend.
Enjoy

Celebrating the 25th mix with a special 2 hours long "ambient / electronica journey" from the man that has been running Neroli since over 20 years. Welcome Volcov (@neroli). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Ciao Enrico, congratulations with your 50th release, such a milestone and with a beautiful compilation too that is. 20 years deep in running Neroli, how do you look back to it now? 

V: Thank you! In 2000 I started Neroli on my own and since then that has been my baby. Apart from the music itself, I think a great relationship with your distributor is essential to make things work, and I’ve been lucky during all these years [mostly Goya, RH and Syncrophone along the way and now Mother Tongue]. I always liked the role of ‘curator’ and I was always fascinated by certain collectable labels like ART/OPart, Retroactive, B12 so to start mine was the next step.. There were a lot of different moments and phases but I think the main thing is that is essential to stay true to your own story! I have to say that the making of The First Circle was a real pleasure and, although it might have been unexpected by some people, for the ones who know me well it really describes my musical journey.

MFM: While Neroli mainly focuses on the deeper and soulful side of electronic music, you were a drum 'n bass head before that, right?

V: Not really, I was always a so called ‘house head’ since I started buying Trax, Alleviated, Lil Louis, Nu Groove and so on in the late 80s/early 90s. Across the 90s, like many, I got also interested in other styles and sounds as long as they were exciting wether it was Mo Wax, Plaid, Reinforced or Photek. The thing with drum n bass was that I did my first productions in that style and I got booked to play dnb gigs on the back of that in ‘97/98. But in ’99 I started an Archive night at this amazing squat club called Pergola and that was an eclectic affair with guests like Dego, Phil Asher, Ian O’Brien, etc.

MFM: The catalogue looks very much like a close family of artists, lots of them having a long history in music and with only a few newer faces. How come is that?

V: The catalogue is a mix of releases by some longtime friends like Dego [who always had an essential role on Neroli], Just One/Kemetic Just or Alex Attias as well as some artists we met along the way and ended up releasing several records with us [Trinidadian Deep, Ricardo Miranda, Lee Pearson jr for example] or younger producer whom I really believed in like Skymark, Marcello Napoletano, Deenamic. I think its especially the continuity along the years with certain artists that can be a bit unusual compared to other labels. We have just released now the Theo Parrish reinterpretations of Patrick Gibin/Kaidi Tatham/Josh Milan ‘Love to the World’ but in April we’ll have an EP by another artist never been on the label before.

MFM: You're quite at ease with doing mixes, without a crowd, right? Is there a certain way to how you approach recording?

V: Well, as much I am at ease recording these type of mixes at home as much I find almost impossible to do some with dance material. Most of my ‘dance’ mixes online are live from clubs. Usually when I approach ambient/jazz/electronica radio shows and podcasts I have accumulated a little pile of records in a corner that I think should be included in the next one, stuff that comes to mind almost on a daily bases. So then I just need to go through them and try to make them ‘talk to each other’.

MFM: Your mixes tend to have a really strong story telling kinda vibe. This one's no exception. Did you have a specific narrative in mind?

V: Since MFM asked, and you guys just released the excellent ‘Virtual Dreams’ album, I imagined to somehow do an ambient / electronica selection since I had fond memories of those times, buying records at Fat Cat, playing chill out rooms in the 90s and so on…. I thought of certain songs that I wanted to include and tried to create a little journey with them…
