The Sardinia based artist Ludovica Frauu created the fourth journey of our Herbarium mix series. It's all about a very fresh sounding groovy journey, an exquisit selection of gems, we are very honoured to feature this wonderful trip. Its story reveals a wide spectrum of moods which are mixed together in a beautiful way. You will stumble upon diverse textures, polyrhythmic drums patterns and interesting harmonies.

To connect the mood of the mix to the herbal concept of the series, the artist chose the plant Capparis spinosa (caper), which she is particularly fond of. Her grandparents had a large plant in their garden. They used to pick its fruit and then process it. The plant is very hardy and grows even in the city, as it is able to penetrate its roots into the interstices of stones. In fact it is considered a rebel plant, because it decides how and where to grow. The flower is beautiful and elegant and is an unharvested fruit, bloomed.
The first part of the set reminds of the flower, the second of the plant itself.

YANT B2B Raymond V - 2 October 2024

We welcome the co-founder of Pillow Princess (@pillow-princess-berlin) for our new instalement in the BLVSHcast series. Welcome to Kidcat (@k_i_d_c_a_t).

She told us about her mix: "This is a recording of a set I played at Kwia, Berlin, where I ventured into mixing downtempo and ambient for the first time. Finding the right vibe and sounds that felt natural in this setting was initially a challenge, but it became one of my most personally rewarding sets of the year. I explored a new mixing style and uncovered my own soundscapes within ambient music.

This one-hour mix weaves together soft, groovy, otherworldly, and psychedelic beats, accented with ethereal-like vocals.

Enjoy it while soaking in a bubble bath or sharing a relaxed moment with friends over a glass of wine 🍷🍷"

Umair Chachar, born and raised in Pakistan, now a resident of Chicago, a fanatic for music his entire life, has been exploring the universe through music with his production for a decade through various unknown aliases. Char, his current musical persona, solidified in 2023. It is a lens into his heart, memories, and perspectives of life. 
 
He believes that music is a divine entity and the act of interacting with it is akin to communing with the entity in a religious way. Whether it is producing, mixing, dancing or simply listening to it. The merger of his Sufi upbringings with his love for all things dark has led him into the world of exploring music in a near Shamanistic way. 
 
Char hurls himself into a state of dark hypnosis through music, and those who follow the path are welcomed by the horrors of the void that are being communed with. 
 
"And in that void, one truly sees how beautiful the dimmest candles can be."

This mix is centered around four rituals by Nusku, tapping into specific emotions and stories. It explores the concepts of musical cyber shamanism and invites the listener to surrender to the dark & hypnotic voices of the world.

A number that has represented life/light and death/darkness in various cultures.

Fresh off producing a seminal documentary about the origin story of Portuguese rave culture, @shcuro returns to his mother tongue, music, to give us four slices of fresh yet classic Lisbon underground flavour right as the summer sets in. ‘Echo Chamber’ EP, Paraíso’s 17th outing, comes with two equally excellent remixes separated by the atlantic: Brooklyn’s @moma_ready and Berlin’s @mareenaofficial.
Side A starts with two tracks first blueprinted this past year as Shcuro prepared a new live set. ‘No Expectations’ opens the record with a high-paced sweat-breaker that elegantly evokes early rave culture as stabs, funk and feelings abound. A2 ‘Persistence’ follows suit with the work that exudes proficiency: sound design, dub techno learnings and masterful layering all conspire to create a moment of pure techno draw. Closing side A, ‘Deviation’ pulls some of the previous track’s energy even though it’s a rework from the artist’s earlier unreleased catalogue: another sign that we’re talking realness here. Clever percussion and refreshing washes drive us well into dubby territories.
‘Suspension’ opens the B side, picking up where it left off with the last original: a beautifully produced piece with fleeting mutating stabs that seem to swim alongside us in an imaginary oceanic dancefloor. Liquid, refreshing senso- rial motifs seem to underpin this record and that spirit spills into the remix pack, starting off with MoMA Ready’s take on ‘Persistence’, bringing out the rawness in the original while adding a special sauce with Robert Hood-like funky yet minimalistic bleep work. Tresor’s Mareena steps in for a centered, dancefloor-geared - but still mysterious - twist on ‘Deviation’, perfectly rounding up the record with the expertise of a club resident.
