Gets better with each listen @sean_labrooy - incredible selection 🍸

'Music They Love'... we ask DJ's and producers to delve into their collection and put together a selection of records that have meant a lot to them in the past, as well as the present. All things inspirational and influential - the records which have shaped their sound as a producer or selection as a DJ.

This week we are joined by the super talented party starter, DJ and producer @d-tiffany 💕 Her records are always a firm favourite of customers at the shop, as well as with us (we've still got her collab release with @regfant on repeat)! 

She provides us with a bass-heavy mix to see us all through until the clubs reopen. Turn. This. One. All. The. Way. Up. 🔊

D. Tiffany's latest release with @roza-terenzi is available to order now: https://www.coldcutshotwax.uk/products/tapestry-of-sound-roza-terenzi-d-tiffany-tapestry-of-sound

D. Tiffany // Music They Love #60

Episode 007 invites special guest Estimulo for an extended 2 hour free-flow b2b session, centered around the theme "Afterhours". Atmospheric, breezy and deep tracks that work just as well on a sunrise-drenched dancefloor as for tripping out on the sofa, be that Deep House, Italo House, Ambient House, Atmospheric Dub Techno or Proto Trance - simply music for when late becomes early, and those blurry moments where the afterhours slide into the pre-hours.

Number forty-five presented by a very good pal of mine and talented musician @djchrisellis. Chris' warm,  gentle and friendly aura as a person can really be felt in his musical leanings. The DJ and producer has contributed to series’ like Public Possession, Hope St Radio, Friendly Potential, Primer and Head Rush, spanning between house, electronic, Balearic, dub and IDM.  

Chris' productions are perfectly balanced --  groovy electronic dance music, but still maintaining a feeling of warmth and authenticity.  Beyond covid-lockdowns you can catch him play his playful live set, and he's also got a four track EP coming out on @publicpossession early next year.

Thanks again for the mix Chris! <3

BSRMIX #116 - Sean La'Brooy

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

As summer finally rears its beautiful face, without the shroud of covid to mask its beauty, our limbs start to thaw out and our minds can finally start to unwind. My god, it has been a year; full of ups and downs and smiles and frowns. It’s safe to presume that we all can’t wait to see the other side of it. In this weird musical bubble, however, lockdowns have been fruitful. A silver lining of the silver lining, this offering to the sun god’s is a fitting way to kiss this year goodbye. Said special offering comes from Naarm local Sam Howard aka Ham.

Sam, a fellow wordsmith, and brethren of the beat. She knows her way around the decks, as well as the keyboard. An expert on reporting on, and to the dance floor. A musical journo with a sense of all sides of the dice, bias maybe, but never wrong. A lethal entity when put behind the decks, it’s easy to hear how she exploits her natural sense of rhythm for the powers of good. 

The mix itself is a perfect accompaniment to a backyard soiree to celebrate the coming of the warmth and the return of the outdoor dance. As chill as it is moving, this mix gently coaxes you through the motions to get your body moving again. It is dappled with transcendence and sprinkled with a familiar four by four to bait the mind back to those euphoric moments in the dust listening to loud music. A polite travel guide to convey you from the couch to the dance floor with plenty of stops to rest and replenish. Truly a joy to listen to, this is the soundtrack to begin a weekend away with your dear friends, or kick ons with your step-parents.

The Best Effort Show Episode Twenty Four (Myles Mac)

2022 kicks off with a mix by long time dear friend and Lullabies For Insomniacs mastermind Izabel (@lullabiesforinsomniacs) who recorded the mix live in Melbourne outdoors during a Wax'O Paradiso event. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hey Izabel, nice to have you kicking off the mix series in this new year. You're in sunny Australia now but before that you'd been living in Europe for quite some years. What made you decide to move back?

IZ: Europe was home for almost 7 years, I left Australia in my early 20’s thinking I would be away for some months but fell in love in Amsterdam and spent years living in the city. In 2018, I moved to Berlin where I lived for a year, I found inspiration through all walks and was surrounded by great crew but grew tired of life in the big smoke. I wanted new challenges and yearned to be amongst nature, so left the city and travelled south to the Atlantic where I spent time in France, Spain and Portugal before heading to Corsica. I slept in a tent or stayed with friends and got on by doing seasonal work. I had not been back to Australia to see family and friends for many moons and was homesick, so decided to make my way across the Indian Ocean. Australia had heavy border restrictions, so plans to return were slow.

MFM: Your label Lullabies For Insomniacs had some busy times from 2016 to around 2019, after that it got more quiet and also the format shifted from vinyl to digital and cassette. What can you tell about this transition?

IZ: The transition happened naturally, I was traveling a lot which effected the label and my creative output. The tapes from Unearth Noise and Baldruin are recordings that we had been sitting on for some time but for various reasons kept delaying release. We decided to bring them out on tape as the music was better suited to this format. My sound world has been heavily inspired by the DIY music and tape scenes of Amsterdam and Berlin in the 80’s and there are great tape labels around today that were also motivating, my friend Etkin’s label ‘Kinship’ is one of these.

MFM: And now that you're settled in Australia again, what are your thoughts and plans with the label and music? Did the past 2/3 years change your perspective/vision?

IZ: Visions and inspirations come and go, some solidify and take root while others are fleeting in dream form. My focus has certainly changed as I devote more time to learning new skills and pursuing other crafts like furniture design, ceramics and writing. The music scene here in Melbourne is thriving, there are a lot of great artists and as I was
away for so long there is much to discover.

MFM: What can you say about the set/mix? Perhaps you can describe the setting it was recorded in?

IZ: The records I packed were chosen while isolating at home, this setting could not be more different to the glorious Sunday afternoon on the lawns at the Wax’o event. I played before OK EG who did a live set to celebrate their new record released as the debut on the Wax’o imprint. It was the second time I had the pleasure hearing them perform, their set made way for a great night. I thought a lot about European winter whilst making selections, I do miss spending the end of the year wrapped warm in Winters caress. These reflections and the recent passing of someone close to the family has brought me into a state of deep
introspect these last weeks, the session is both celebratory of life and a lament to lost life. This mix is a recording from the first hour, the second hour I played some psych, dub and percussive jams. 

MFM: Any plans, wishes or anything else for the near future that you'd like to share maybe?

IZ: At the moment I am taking each day as it arrives and am happy to continue on a journey learning and growing and enjoying time with family and friends. In February I will start a little party series in Melbourne with my friend Martha called Dub Cake. All the while my dream to move sea or country side lingers.

Intensely chill hypnotic vibes coming from Melbourne - for the #19th mix we’ve asked a talented young DJ from the other side of the planet named @kia-sydney. A few months ago we stumbled upon her mixes, and have been playing them over and over. We’re honoured to present the first mix of her on this hemisphere. Big thanks to Kia for making this one for us.

Montreal-based DJ, producer and label owner Francis Latrielle, better known as Priori, joins us for the 79th edition of the Phonica Mix Series.

Priori has become a firm favourite of ours here at Phonica over the past couple of years. His releases, which crossover through many electronic genres, from house and techno to IDM and ambient, have been picked up by such labels as Echovolt and Dust E-1’s Dust World in recent years, although much of his musical output, including his phenomenal 2019 album, ‘On A Nimbus’, comes via his own label, NAFF, which he co-runs with fellow Montrealer Ex-Terrestrial.

Head on over to Off The Record to check out the full feature, including an interview, where we talked about his past, present, and future plans, life in lockdown, Montreal’s music scene, and more. Enjoy!
