In a world where attention spans are constantly under siege by a myriad of distractions, the search for a reliable source of quality music can often feel like navigating a vast, unpredictable sea. In this era of inconsistency, there are shining beacons of reliability. One such beacon, which has consistently graced our monthly selections of favorite mixes, is the music platform Truants.
Truants has been a steadfast provider of top-tier music, a sanctuary where music enthusiasts can find solace in the promise of quality content. Among the architects of this musical haven is the talented and eclectic Riccardo Villella, a London-based designer and DJ renowned for his exceptional taste and mixing skills.
Today, we are thrilled to present to you this special mix, meticulously crafted by none other than Riccardo Villella himself. We vividly recall the moment we first encountered this mix – a serendipitous drive through the picturesque Spanish landscapes, rewinding our way from the Paral.lel festival to Barcelona. It was the perfect soundtrack to soothe our souls after an unforgettable weekend amidst the mountains. Mixes of this caliber have a unique power, a lasting resonance that ensures they become cherished companions, revisited time and time again.

Before we dive into this fabulous journey that Riccardo has curated for us, this is what Riccardo said in his own words about the process behind this remarkable mix: "It took me a little while to think of a direction to go in this. I've always loved the style and atmosphere to a lot of the mixes and tracks that get posted on Delayed but knew I didn't really want to record a techno or house mix. So I ended up putting lots of tracks on a half-time tip that evoked strong emotions of nostalgia and a hopeful sadness. I got to an hour of tracks and felt like I had perfect passage into more clubby double time stuff to round off the later stages of the mix. So there's a big switch half way through but hope it's seamless in essence. Some amazing tracks in there from some artists that are really doing it for me at the moment such as Morgan Wright, Cousin, Vardae, Downstairs J, Sobolik and Tom VR."

Sunday Mix: Bella Boo

Excited to release this awesome mix by MESTIZO for the MFI guest mix series! 💥 

@jpmestizo is a dedicated music enthusiast hailing from Montréal in Québec. 
It's a pleasure to welcome him on board and hear the following by him: 

''Since the pandemic up until today, I have spent countless hours listening to @ecoutesauvert and @cobeia's SoundCloud channels. This unique catalog significantly widened my musical taste and my ever-growing appreciation for global and unhurried sounds. 

Many thanks to Cobeia for his work! If you enjoy the music he puts out there, through this mix series, consider supporting via www.paypal.com/ecoutesauvert "

Indeed, that helps to pay the SoundCloud Pro account yearly subscription costs to keep all mixes accessible for everyone to enjoy. :) SoundCloud hides them when you stop to pay... :(

The mix is entitled: "Relieved Romantic" and here's something @jpmestizo says about it:

"This recording dedicates its first and last segments to slower songs that capture a specific emotion I associate with different moments from the past few years. From chanson francophone to street soul, going through folk, rock, and synth-pop, what ties this mix together isn't genre; it's my love for love songs! Cheesy? Obviously. What can I say? I do love me some fine and (even better) smelly cheeses.''

JP Metis is a Filipino-Québécois mestizo music lover from Montréal. The self-proclaimed ''relieved romantic'' (romantique soulagé) works as a copywriter and is a founding member of the Inner Circle collective. He started collecting records as a teenager and took up DJing in 2015. He recently cofounded @public_averti, a mix series anchored in collections' overlooked, enigmatic, and often poetic sections. Behind the booth, he has a full range of sensibilities spanning a variety of sounds and a taste for off-piste music, broadening the expectations of listeners and dancers.
