A new episode in the series features a very special guest—Tim, aka caapi, a driving force of Glasgow’s underground scene. Over the past few years, Tim and @lizzie-urquhart have been creating the deeply heartfelt and immersive label @somewherepress. 
Now, Tim has launched their own label called 'blush', and this mix serves as a kind of sonic palette—or mood board, if you will—that they’ve carefully curated to establish the tone and identity of the label.

Listening to Tim's mixes is always an incredibly fascinating and inspiring experience for me. They are crafted with such skill and intricacy, always full of hidden layers and depth. This mix is no exception—I listened to it several times before its release, and each time, I discovered new shades and nuances. I'm thrilled that Tim chose to present such an important and personal story in the De Kat Memwa series.

Here’s what Tim had to say about the mix:

*My intention with blush is to explore DIY, arcane and delicate sound work with a playful and personal approach.

I recorded the mix as a way to understand the sound that's been forming in my mind over many months, and it captures the mood of what I'm going for.

At the heart, it's an exploration into ambient guitar works, particularly the kind of ephemeral moments when a zoom recorder is left on and spontaneous playing merges with the environment. But there's also a playful distortion to this, tinged with the influence of obscure '90s ambient trip-hop and sample-based music.

My first tape release as blush, by ana reme, explores romantic atmospheres and dated textures and is a big influence for me also.

I'm drawn to fluttering synths through layers of hissing tape noise, ambient guitars recorded serendipitously, obscure trip-hop that never found its place, twee indie soft rock, and everything in between.

The photos are of a waterfall in Bavaria that I photographed in the summer—they felt kind of right for this mix: a bit mystical but also strange and kind of timeless.*

The forthcoming Macadam Mambo is a very special one. It has been a while we were following The Jaffa Kid, from his first apparences on La Beauté du négatif, Deeptrax or Utter to Altered Sense more recently… checking his almost daily delivery productions on his soundcloud, always very amaze… so it went very naturally to contact him and start this project together. The process went so smooth, he was delivering amazing track after amazing track on a daily constant, going from IDM to Jungle, Break to Electro or Downtempo and Ambient. Everything with a very special sense for melancolic harmonies and rhythms. This is high class productions we collected here, 
12 burners to make a magnificient double album in the intemporal vibe of AFX, ERP, Drexciya, μ-Ziq or Luke Slater’ 7th Plain, that won’t probably get aged. Grab your copy fast as you can, this one will fly 
