The first mixtape of the year arrives with a label focus by Pointless Geometry, an independent label founded in 2015 by Justyna Banaszczyk (FOQL) and Darek Pietraszewski (aka VJ Copy Corp) in Warsaw, Poland.

The label specialises in tape releases of experimental electronic, electroacoustic and dance-esque music as well as audiovisual projects on VHS tapes and is one of the most interesting labels in Poland. During these last five years, the Pointless Geometry catalogue has grown to include 36 releases by WIDT, Mchy i Porosty, Jakub Lemiszewski, FOQL, Fischerle, Jakub Gliński and Muka, to name just some of the artists.
All the label entries are accompanied by a carefully designed graphic design, available in limited collector’s series, prepared by some the most interesting Polish artists such as Stachu Szumski, Sandra Sygur and Tomek Popakul.

And once or twice a year, Pointless Geometry releases an audiovisual project on VHS. These releases are limited to 20-30 copies. The team shares they don’t really make any profit on them, but they’ve turned into a small tradition of sorts. The whole topic of VHS recordings and analogue video is still interesting to explore and they get flooded with proposals.
For this mix, Pointless Geometry have included some tracks from their recent and upcoming premieres and from Pointless Geometry back catalogue.

Qba Janicki & Obsequies - Afterglow 
Qba Janicki & Obsequies - Gleam
