Walyalup selector Monty holds this week's Shell Tape in her hands and we couldn't be happier. The mix conjures up a raft of emotions. Moments in time, caught in the mirror of a mind and beamed back to us, warped by time and memory. A smile from a friend while preparing dinner, housemates’ laughs bounding down a hallway, the crisp sheen of a beer can discarded next to a picnic rug. 

“Reflections In A Rear View Mirror” captures such moments in the slim space of an hour - thoughts carried along by warm percussion, untethered synth tones and buoyant bass lines. Tripping from ephemeral ambience to organic downtempo cuts and life affirming house selections Tape 73 builds its own world - one where time stands still while the extra bits keep on spinning.

Shell Tape 73 - Monty - "Reflections In A Rear View Mirror

This week we are fortunate enough to have a mix from the lovely Subaske. A familiar face in Sydney’s local electronic dance community, Subaske has a long history as a DJ/producer and a promoter. As one of the head honchos at the infamous Compound parties, which showcased international acts like Florian Kupfer and Jon Convex amongst an array of local Sydney talent, Subaske helped set the tone for much of our own musical education.

If you were fortunate enough to enjoy a late-night-extendo at Goodgod's backroom, then we're sure you’ll remember (or possibly not) some mind-melting good times. Whether it’s supporting the likes of Mala, Smallpeople and Even Tuell, playing at festivals across NSW, including Subsonic or waving the Eora flag with @assemblerc and @andygarveyandygarvey on @technoclubnet stream during the midst of the pandemic, Subaske’s gets it done.

This mix delivers at all ends of the spectrum, providing the catalyst we need to gear up for those long summer nights.

P.S Daylight saving starts this weekend.

ST-76 is out; leaving his mark on the series the inimitable James Jovanoski with “Moving, Effortlessly”.

Have you ever watched someone do tai chi? Watched them closely? There's an ease to the kinetics that can mask layers of refinement and hours of practice. Concentration, mindfulness, blissful mindlessness - they all meld into what appears to be one string of motion. Strung together with care, elastic and elating and relaxing, James Jovanoski’s edition to the Shell Tape series does just that.

Pillowy bass excursions, slo-mo alien acid grooves and steamy atmospherics fit for a post-dystopian wellness retreat spread themselves across this hour long recording; a slow and easy spiral down into an increasingly twisty and tripped world. The re-entry into the fast pace of the rat race (or at least it’s tripped sonic counterpart) isn’t one you’ll notice though. Like the title says, this mix just moves, effortlessly, until it reaches its logical exit point.

Jovanoski goes deep on this one, no doubt about it. Tape 76 moves through the night like a neon behemoth, muted glow lighting the corners of your mind in all the right spots. It might not be tai chi but it's just as enjoyable to witness.
