BMRMIX003 | Shadow Play: dj fake art

We just intercepted new transmissions coming in over frequency 666 that nearly overloaded our system. Fortunately we knew just the person to decode and “Manually Override" the system! @perfectmanual is the one behind the scenes of the latest edition of our mix series and we're back in business now! 😉

Perfect Manual's Manual Override weaves a compelling narrative through the use of skillful blends of recordings from anime, Office Space, and Devs into club music, synth tools, and curve balls at precisely the right moment. In just over an hour, Perfect Manual demonstrates full control over the mix's mood, not afraid to go full-tilt and also knowing when to hit the breaks. Perfect Manual is an expert at navigating the gray area between accessible club tracks and deep-cuts, which makes him the perfect next guest to bless the BMR decks.

BMRMIX004 | Manual Override: Perfect Manual

We are closing out this year with one more edition of the BMR mix series before BMR019 drops on December 19th and we were able to tap the UK-based artist @t_wythen for both! The mix, entitled "Bloom," is the perfect introduction to t8's release on BMR later this month as it spans "each corner of (t8's) tastes from ambient floaty stuff to heavier footwork." In addition to a preview of t8's upcoming single on Black Magic Recordings, "follow u," we were also treated to a few unreleased dubs from MDWILLS, Panaflex, t8 themself, and a DADs remix of BMR alum pricklypearsound. Expect shuffling drums, big basslines, infectious vocal hooks, and melodic emotion tied together with deft mixing. Whether you're just getting your day started or are still going after a night out, "BMRMIX005: Bloom" has you covered. Make sure to stay tuned for the full release of "follow u" in 2 weeks!

BMRMIX005 | Bloom: t8

Since Black Magic’s inception, we’ve observed many serendipitous, real life signs relating to the number six in everything from seating sections to file sizes. It’s only natural that we’re back where we started with @kennedy-music behind the decks for BMRMIX006: Hex Code. 

This mix truly has it all. Chris’ sonic palette is on full display here, covering the gamut of heads-down techno rollers, rapturous piano moments, memorable vocal tracks, tightly executed blends, bold tempo shifts, and a showcase of original productions under his Failed Actor pseudonym. To top it all off, we get to debut the brand new Chris Kennedy track, “Slangin,” which is out in 2 weeks on Black Magic Recordings!

BMRMIX006 | Hex Code: Chris Kennedy

As we prepare for spring and the world is healing from a harshly cold winter, we've tapped @smokeandteadc (@blinkhorn and @b_x_r_n_x_r_d) to bring us the latest entry in the BMR mix series entitled "Music Is Medicine." BMRMIX007 is a dreamlike illustration of carefully designed synthesizer sounds and deliberate track selections that use an unreleased recording of a Smoke & Tea performance at the @blacktechnomatters' 2024 Juneteenth Healing in the Park event in DC's Malcolm X park as the canvas for the mix. One will find themselves floating in the astral ether wrapped in a cocoon of sound for just long enough until the sweet call of reality is refracted back through the lens of pop memories, smoky jazz, and the warmth of friendship. Smoke & Tea invite you to get lost in the alternate reality they have created through an ingenious blend of an unreleased live recording, thoughtful track selections from Bernard and Patrick, and additional live synthesizer improvisations that the cosmic duo recorded at Black Techno Matters' HQ (https://youtu.be/k6l7W5-LDD4). Smoke & Tea's entry in the BMR mix series offers the listener almost an hour of healing sounds that prove "Music Is Medicine." 

Stay tuned for Smoke & Tea's upcoming album "Modern Conversation" to be released on Black Magic Recordings on March 20th.

Nine Inch Nails - “Hurt” + Smoke & Tea [Live]

BMRMIX007 | Music Is Medicine: Smoke & Tea

BMRMIX008: Fluid Chaos | Ois!

Life doesn't always fit into a neat little box and sometimes things are chaotic and even a bit dark; yet in the beautiful mess of disorder, we often find the most honest rhythm. It's in this spirit that we present the vision of @ois-326981832, who's delivered an entry into our mix series that's aptly titled "Fluid Chaos." The recording swings effortlessly between genres, providing glimpses of familiar sounds that are embedded in underground dance music culture. We also get a taste of 2 unreleased Ois! productions, including "Me No Es Cubano," which is forthcoming on Black Magic Recordings on July 17th. By now you may be expecting the unexpected with Black Magic, but we still have tricks up our sleeve like this team up with Ois!'s mercurial mysticism!
