"Dear dirt, I am sorry I slighted you,
I thought that you were only the background
for the leading characters—the plants
and animals and human animals.
It’s as if I had loved only the stars
and not the sky which gave them space
in which to shine. Subtle, various,
sensitive, you are the skin of our terrain,
you’re our democracy. When I understood
I had never honored you as a living
equal, I was ashamed of myself,
as if I had not recognized
a character who looked so different from me,
but now I can see us all, made of the
same basic materials—
cousins of that first exploding from nothing—
in our intricate equation together. O dirt,
help us find ways to serve your life,
you who have brought us forth, and fed us,
and who at the end will take us in
and rotate with us, and wobble, and orbit.

This mix is dedicated to Abe, who loves dirt." @musiccompanyco

XCV - music company

Many labels strive for the cutting edge, but few pull it off. Melbourne’s Music Company is only a year – or eight releases – old but is quickly establishing itself as a foremost publisher of the freshest sounds from Australia’s constellation of artists making ambient, experimental and otherwise avant-garde music.

The label’s founders Brad Shawyer and Lauren Mitchell have thus far built a discography ranging from single-instrument live recordings to the most inventive forms of ‘computer music’ you’ll hear. Tune in to Lauren and Brad’s mix for episode 28 of our series and get a taste for one of the most interesting new labels in Australian ‘electronic’ music.

Juanita's Mix 83 with NAP @napmusick

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Colombo-Canadian male, 33 yrs old, 5’11 ft, 170 lbs.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Mexico City music scene?
A. I’ve only been here since last March and feel that I’m just starting to get to know the city in general. The positive energy that I’ve felt from everyone from the techno to the cumbia scenes here is what has made me want to stay and get to know the city and country more. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet people like DJ Guccichotas, Joyce Musicolor, Jasmanic, Irma Ruiseñor and the EXT crew who have all welcomed me into their scenes and shown me so much love and support. 

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix was recorded in the 15th floor of Torre Zacatecas in Tlatelolco, Mexico, after having just moved into a new apartment. We had cdjs for the weekend after my roommate had rented them for her birthday so I took a shot at recording something with Juanita's in mind and it was honestly one of the most natural and fun sessions.

Vortex Mix ✻ Mike Midnight

So so happy to have Naarm's https://soundcloud.com/mgmldrm on the series!! 

miscmeg's sensitive take on electronic music just hits. the. spot. Having made a name for herself as a versatile selector, as suited to a club setting and those moments of total energetic release, as periods of reflection and stillness. It's the latter she has compiled in this mix, originally recorded at Hope St Radio in Naarm.

One of the founders of https://soundcloud.com/vortexvortexvortex and its associated skylab show, miscmeg is a major contributor to Naarm's scene, effortlessly adding an essential dimension, rooted in emotional dance music. 

With a 90s flavour, this mix meanders through sugarcoated, glistening downtempo, occasionally plunging into destabilising slow burns. miscmeg's ear for downtempo is on full show here, pausing for darker, dub-inflicted haziness and moments of melancholy before erupting shining light, love and red-hot desire. 

miscmeg, with what seems like a knowing wink, sprinkles breadcrumbs for us to follow, each moment a fragile, expanding, crystallising and, soon, razor sharp declaration of self-worth. She's a pro and we can't thank her enough : --)

Emotions are high, may require a dance in your kitchen ⚘ ❁ ⚘ ❁ ⚘

Juanita's Mix 091 with Millia @milliamusic

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Lover of music, movies, and basketball <3. I produce / DJ as Millia and am member of the music trio Purelink

Q. What’s your relationship to the NY music scene?
A. Formerly a Chicago resident for the past decade, I would travel to NYC once or twice a year to attend / play shows. I finally moved here a few weeks ago and am excited to be a regular part of the scene and community (& contribute to the iconic Juanita’s mix series!)

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. Recorded live in my Bushwick apt, I wanted to share some of my fav dub tracks of the moment.  :)  starts in the chill-out room and ends on the dancefloor ~

For extended Q&A please visit our website ------> pipipi.life <------

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Heyyyy I’m Roy, He / Him, I’m based in South-East London

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Watersign by a country mile. It’s the only party keeping it real imo. Hot bookings, always a sexy vibe inside. Lineup is secret until the day of. A must-attend if you’re in town <3

What movie would you pick to do the score for?

Can I choose Surfs Up?

If you could transfer all your knowledge from what you do now into something completely different, what would it be and why?

Print making 🙂

It’s a beautiful artform with so many possibilities. I would love to dive deeper.

Track that makes you think about being in water…

I have a playlist for this! I think I'll go with LTD Colours – Messy Objects, from their Patterns EP.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I think a more unionised approach to the scene would be nice. Solidarity and mutual aid – in regard to uplifting and platforming our peers.

For Episode Sixteen we host a guest transmission from favourite new local label Music Company. Their debut release, Grace Ferguson's 'Voler', quickly became a COVID classic - an introspective and sensuous collection of piano compositions that stay with you long after the final note is played. Their second release ‘Vector Fields’ collects 17 Australian musicians. It’s a breathtaking experience from start to finish - a rare accomplishment for a compilation of its length. Thank you Lauren and Bradley for sharing your musical world. 

In their own words: 
“We started the Music Company label with the idea of showing people music for all three spaces in their life, the home, the not-home and the internet. Ambiguous maybe, but we feel there is a slither of sound that is suitable for all three environments, and that small gap between the real and unreal is where we've found a home. 

This mix was recorded in a similar space, between the real and unreal and in a home that is not ours. We are currently in South Australia and have been for a few months in hope of some pandemic reprieve and much needed family time, but we've ended up here much longer than we anticipated. Creating a new home, for now. 

This is a mix for the days that pass without warning, perpetuous in their monotony. An ode to time, and the times, full of warmth but rife with distance. Familiar and weird.”

The Best Effort Show - Episode Sixteen (Music Company)

Theory Therapy was live for with @theory-therapy for their first show of 2021. They brought a  bag of soothing electronica, woozy ambience and leftfield synthesis from Yunzero, ju ca, Susumu Yokota and new Music from Memory. In the second hour, they're joined by  Melbourne based record label Music Company heads Lauren and Bradley.

Theory Therapy w/ Music Company - January 2021

@musiccompanyco

Although brand new to the scene, Music Company have already established a spectacular presence in the Melbourne music community. The all-star cast behind the scenes (Bradley Shawyer and Lauren Mitchell) take a broad-brush approach to beautiful music, with particular focus on unearthing lesser-known local acts, many of whose creative gifts deserve to be household names. Take their debut release, ‘Voler’ by Grace Ferguson, a stunning piece of modern classical. Dynamic piano balanced with perfectly placed electronic ambience - beautiful, expansive. In between the beauty, Music Company also showcases the weird and wonderful, their top notch compilations peppered with experimental gems. Music Company joined me on Passing Notes episode 102.
