LA based photographer Father Hickey compiles some of his most treasured finds that frequent his head and often exit the sleeve. Hickey's interest in records commenced around his youth; scoping YouTube for samples to make Hip Hop beats as affording wax was out of reach. This mix contains some of the cuts that will be making their way on to Big Nice - a record label he is launching this summer carrying Jazz-Funk and Rare-Groove, sifted from 45s of the 70s and 80s. The project is dedicated to recovering, preserving, and presenting the unique and quietly sensational sounds in music that spanned the second half of the 20th century.

ZAHFARI RECORDINGS is the new label led by Mushrooms Project and Manu Archeo.
Zahfari Recordings is proud to present its first release, the new Album by Mushrooms Project. 9 years after their last full length, the duo returns with a lysergic and introspective journey, intertwining and digging into their thirty-year background, exploring worlds known to them between Electronica, Leftfield, Dreamhouse reminiscences, Afro and Cosmic. A journey structured in a complex way, simple to listen to, where every sound finds its place.

Nicolas Motte, aka Nico Motte, is first and foremost a graphic designer, working at the Check Morris studio in Paris which he founded along with partner Mathias Pol in 2004. For ten years Nico was involved in the art direction of French label Antinote, a label on which he has also produced and released several albums; Three under his own name, Life Goes On If You Are Lucky, Rheologia, and most recently (at time of writing), 2023's The Missing Person. He has also released a record with Raphael Top Secret and Zaltan, a collaboration under the name 18 Rays. In addition to music production and his extensive graphic design work, Nico has also hosted a radio program called Depeche Motte on LYL Radio, and the mix that he has kindly submitted to The Sunrise Mixtapes is from that radio show.

Nico has selected some lovely obscure ambient percussion records by the likes of Giuliano Sorgini and William Loughborough, gradually progressing into wonky left-field digital reggae, including Romie Singh's classic 'Dancing To Forget', Desmond Coke's 'I Need Somebody', from his 1989 LP Let's Chase The Sun, and of course Sexy T.K.O.'s 'Touch Me, Take Me', just to mention a few.

“I was on the road on tour in Europe when I recorded the mix, and I had a momentary respite doing some cat sitting for friends and thinking about how dependent we are on friends and networks. It feels like sitting underneath a big shaded tree on a sunny day :) tired from travel but energized by music and life!”
