Doing Time With Bill Spencer & Sholto

The first mixtape released on Best Effort is by Naarm (Melbourne) based DJ/ writer, Sophie McAlister. A Sooky La La at heart, this mix is comprised of Sophie’s most sentimental songs which seem to exude the palpable feeling of Saudade, a Portuguese word that can be described as ‘a pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.’ The tracks weave through 110 minutes of unrequited love and melancholic sounds that range from MPB, Psych, Folk, Middle Eastern Jazz and Soul, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and longing.

Crafted with heartbreak from reel to reel, these feelings on tap(e) hope to offer tender respite to the listener’s jaunt down memory lane. With a nod to the past and anticipation for what’s to come, this tape invites you to welcome new spirits from the unwelcomed lull of recent despondency. Sometimes revelling in our most forsaken experiences can spark new life into what used to consume us with grief.

"Loosely inspired by 80’s neo-noir/Brian De Palma, big Armani suits, smoke-filled bedrooms/venetian blinds overlooking the beach.🎷" - @mela-melania

We asked our friend and NTS GOAT Bianca Lexis to put together a mix for the Winter Solstice. 

"I wanted to put together intimate songs that remind me of going back home and spending time with loved ones gathered around our favorite comfort foods and a cozy fire," says Bianca. "Hopefully it gives the listener a similar feeling of nostalgic warmth :)"

A new mix series from your friends at In Sheep’s Clothing <3 In an effort to encourage discovery and share different ways to support artists, labels, and record stores, we’ve decided to update our playlists to a new “mixtape” format that includes direct links to the platforms where your support will actually reach those involved with making and releasing the music.

Every track featured in this new mix series will be available to purchase on Bandcamp, from a record shop, or directly from the label. 

For the first edition of the series, the staff behind In Sheep’s Clothing has put together an “exquisite corpse” style mix, with the progression of the mix flowing spontaneously between selectors.
