Softly spun folk selections.

Theory Therapy 42 is one of the most delicate and thoughtful mixes we've had. It was recorded by Montreal-based producer Kore and consists mainly of stripped-down folk songs that have a warm, home-recorded feel—perfect music for rainy mornings, in my opinion.

“I think this mix was inspired by the season, mid-August. I’ve been slowing down a lot. I can feel the chill of autumn creeping in and it makes me appreciate everything more. All the overgrown gardens, the warm evenings, riding my bike.”

Jake Muir is a Berlin based sound artist, DJ and field recordist. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques and engineering dexterity, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre membranes, encouraging reflection and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

This mix is essentially a studio distillation of the two DJ sets I played during bathing hours at Washington Baths in Portland, Maine last year, for @poolemusicltd. Beyond the aquatic aesthetics tying back to saunas and my time spent living in California and Seattle, it is also inspired by an essay I discovered while trying to find cover art for Bathhouse Blues. “Spiritual dimensions of self-transformation in Sydney’s gay bathhouses”, by Jason Prior and Carole Cusack, explores how gay bathhouses were viewed as places of worship by the patrons and what transpired there as being “rituals”. Given this backdrop, there are various references in the mix, both literal and figurative, to said dimensions associated with rituals and spirituality.

Music to get lost in from London’s Untitled 909 founder

"Music either helps with balancing my emotions or heightening them – soundtracking times of purge (that would now often be through recording a mix) or times of going inwards and figuring out or processing my feelings"
