This episode's guest mix was recorded by Body Corp (Marco Vella) at his home on the East coast. 

Marco has been a source of inspiration for us for many years now. His productions, mixes and DJ sets have kept us company through many days and nights. Thank you Marco for contributing to the 20th episode of the show. We hope you have a nice day all the time.

The Best Effort Show - Episode Twenty (Body Corp)

Tracklist & Interview: www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/24-body-corp

Theory Therapy 24 is by Eora/Sydney musician and producer Marco Vella aka BODY CORP. Despite its relative brevity — clocking in at just 50 minutes — Marco has crafted a mix that moves with ease from deep ambient and loop-based improvisations courtesy of Suso Sáiz and Matt LaJoie to lush, sun-dappled Balearic and shoegaze by Hidden Spheres and Luz Bel.

Vella’s own productions pull from a wide range of influences, eras and styles, just like his mix. Since his first release back in 2015, he’s been quietly building an impressive and varied catalogue. Between releasing music under his own name, as BODY CORP or in the Rhythm Section affiliated Retiree, the Eora-based producer has made long-form ambient, electro, deep house, disco, alt-pop and funk. 

His forthcoming ambient-leaning album Monument, out August on Bedroom Suck Records, is probably his most expansive and introspective release to date. Made in collaboration with visual artist Max Berry and featuring readings by actor Sam Smith, it’s unfailingly warm and thoughtful in form like all of his music, though probably has the most in common with his tracks on the Best Effort and Ken Oath compilations — two personal favourites of mine. He also features on our upcoming Theory Therapy charity compilation. Listen out for an earlier iteration of that track in his mix.

Out of Season

“I liked the unusual side of the water – the bench set back
from the path looked up to windows rather than down
onto ploughed width. From here, I saw trees assert
their permanence, bending over backwards to prove
they still had it. Branches poked at homes then dashed – 
I was the lookout, or friend who misread herself included,
just one hand in the mischief. What a salve it was 
to pair a song with the moment and watch, feast and flee, 
drink all the good stuff that view had going free then leave. 
I did it once when a phone call felled me, or on days that
didn’t suit me, once again when I let a chance sail past 
like a bus I should have run for. We had an understanding, 
I thought. If I recognised how my body eased in this beauty, 
I could call a corner of it mine.”

- Ellen Renton

E2E: What environment or context did you have in mind when recording the mix?

I noticed that all the Ear 2 Ear mixes had a particular theme so before I was even asked to contribute to the series, I had a particular theme in mind for it - if I ever got asked to contribute that is. The theme I chose was music for stargazing. Which brings me back memories to some of the most special and spiritual experiences I've had with my closest friends. I wanted to create a mix of music that suited the environment we found ourselves in. A group of us alone, set on a beach with the ocean washing the sand as we lay there staring into the open sky. The stars twinkling as the air sung in the background, all of us in a complete state of relaxation, losing all sense of self, transcending and connecting as one, with each other and with the earth itself.

E2E: Tell us a bit about your new Body Corp alias, have you got any new work coming up?

Body Corp is I guess an outlet for more electronic/dance music that I write. I’m currently working on finishing another 2 EPs mainly and always just working on new tracks, especially during this time while there’s more of it. One of the EPs is a follow up to the first release with Soothsayer and the other is in its early stages and a bit more relaxed, less for the dance floor and more for listening at home. That one is a work in progress so we’ll see where it goes.. シ

Much loved underground music and culture podcast Parry Talks, has announced its first foray into the world of releasing music, and today unveils its first VA release. Comprised of tracks from PT alumni and previous podcast guests, PT001 is a thrilling exhibition of the rich community Parry Talks has represented for over a year and its diverse musical offerings. Bedroom producers and local DJs feature in the same season as international stars and rising cultural figureheads, and the same care and intrigue is applied to all who enter the PT arena.

The digital only, Bandcamp exclusive release features a who’s who of Sydney’s underground dance community, and 100% of sales being donated to Aboriginal Legal Service Redfern. Leading the charge is Sydney based producer and legend Body Corp. Fresh from releasing an EP on Soothsayer, he takes a darker, clubbier turn on this offering. Tripped out acid lines, a brooding drum line create an absolute belter, a perfect track to release as Australian's dance music scene begins to re-open.
