is this you mate? @midnighttenderness, where can I get a copy?

You know what time it is! 

Been looking forward to sharing the second episode of Safe Radio in 2021. It consists of music that I've been playing and listening to over the past few months. Four hours, seven minutes and twenty eight seconds. 53 tracks in total - old, new and forthcoming. You might even find a classic or two in there as well ::) Classics that a lot of people know and in-my-bag-classics that I have played a lot over the years due to the fact that its simply just god damn good music!!

I'm still super fortunate and grateful to have very talented friends around me that make fantastic music. So thank you for being you. You all know who you are ::)

Enough writing. No one cares about this stuff.... Sit back and enjoy what I've made for you!

C.K - Safe Radio S05E02

Bush drums are rumbling, hazy mist is sparkling and art (real life art!) is on the wind. Shell Tape 91 comes from Hame DJ. Cruise up this smoky mountain, spread your wings and tune in to Hame’s acid tinged “My Life Is My Art, My Art Is My Life”.

The vibe for the 91st Tape is a decidedly funky one - rubbery, woozy seesaw sound runs deep through this mix. Chuggy kicks, lysergic synth sequences and dubbed out percussion and vocal fragments that echo off into the infinite are all on the ingredients list for this hour long concoction of down tempo house and techno that melds the organic with the otherworldly.

Stepping out like a slightly sedated but very stylish Flubber on a moon walk, Hame arcs from modulating pad to modulating pad, tracing melodies that ooze steeze and psychedelia. Throw in a couple of unreleased tracks, some deep cut classics and high vibes and you’ve got Shell Tape 91.

Track list:

Coil - Windowpane
Eva Geist - Urban Monogamy
Gem-K - Closer
Coil - Theme From Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex
B(if)tek - Projects for a Rainy Day
D. Tiffany & Roza Terenzi - Spiritual Delusion
Guy Contact - One Hand One Bounce
Midnight Tenderness - Catamaran (Hame DJ's Boof Mix)
Khan - Give Me More

Our friend in Berlin, Flørist, also known as his moniker Pavilion, sent us a special one. It’s an hour-ish mix of a few vinyls he collected over his summer travels. Chuggy, bouncy, some great basslines, spiritually it’s somewhere between the pacific west coast and Anjuna Beach. Enjoy your trip.
Thank you all for listening to our mixes this year. Stay warm, and see you again next year!

We welcome Tornado Wallace (@tornadowallace), long time friend of the label and whose record 'Falling Sun' we released through Second Circle back in 2016.  Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hey Lewie, how have you been lately?

TW: I dipped out to East Asia and Australia for the infamous Berlin winter and now I’m back ready for the euro warmth. Though it’s in no hurry to arrive here just yet.

MFM: There's a new record coming on Basic Spirit, the label you run with Jamie Tiller, and it all looks rather secretive... Can you tell us more about it Lew E? :) 

TW: I made these tracks when I was holed up sick for a week. Not being able to go to the studio I relied strictly on samples and software, which was fun to change the workflow up a little bit. I wanted to make some very club ready tracks, without any intention for a release. They (rather obviously) sample two well known tracks, but there’s a lot of new ideas too. I use a different name as it felt like a different style and approach to how I usually go about things. I think there will be more Lew E things on the horizon though :D.

MFM: Previous releases on Basic Spirit also had this '90s touch to it. What is it that you like about (music from) that era?

TW: I grew up in the 90s so a lot of the music coming out then really hits the nostalgic feels. But also, really interesting things were happening with technology, and it became a lot more affordable to put together a record. So there were a lot of - for lack of a better term - laymen releasing electronic music. Some of which had very new and out-there approaches to processes like sampling, mixing and arranging. But trends and technology all moved along so quickly that some of these sounds and ideas never had a chance to get fully fleshed out. Which is why it’s nice to pick up where some left off. People are currently very responsive to this late 90s/early 2000s sound, which is great for me because that’s a time when I really fell in love with electronic music. As a DJ, I’m playing these really personal tracks that I discovered as a teenager, and for the first time since I began playing parties/clubs 18 years ago, people seem to really understand them. It’s a very cool feeling.

MFM: You've also started a new more pop oriented project called a.s.o. together with vocalist Alia Seror O’Neill. Has it always been a dream or goal of yours to start a more band kind of project? Does it require a different writing/recording approach compared to when making dance music for the clubs?

TW: I like making music that I like listening to. And with the pandemic in full swing in 2020, I was having a little break from club music, and diving deeper into other styles of music I enjoy. Both from a listening and producing perspective. I found it to be a very different approach. It’s more melody/hook driven and focuses on getting ideas down quickly as they’re forming. A lot of the time I would use a basic keyboard and guitar to record, and Alia would add vocal melodies and harmonies on the fly. Sometimes it could get difficult when we would both want to put our fleeting ideas down at the same time! On that note, collaboration is never easy for me as I like to have full creative control of whatever it is I’m working on, and sometimes the creative paths divide and compromises have to be made. Sometimes the compromised path is thick and thorny, and sometimes it is paved gold and smells of roses.

MFM: How did you go through the selecting and recording process, any specific record or mood you had planned?

TW: I came across a bunch of really nice tracks all in a relatively similar downtempo/shoegaze style, and wanted to make a mix of music like that. For moody home/car/train etc listening. I also included a forthcoming Cousin remix of an a.s.o. single which I love and wanted to share early!

Click here for the interview with DJ Earl Grey melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/dj-earl-grey

Finishing the working week with a mix of truly beautiful sounds thanks to one of Australia's very best music selectors, DJ @earlgreyradio! A true purveyor of introspective cuts that can transcend the dance floor and recalibrate the mind/body/soul, Nik Thorup has to be one of the deepest diggers we've encountered, specialising in nostalgic genre benders and soothing ambient, downtempo and dubby grooves of all shapes and sizes.

For this episode we're found gently swaying between 160bpm D'n'B atmospheres and majestic moody vocal cuts, perfect to wind down or ease into your weekend with. We also caught up with Nik to chat about his label @besteffort and the imminent closing of Sydney's iconic underground music venue Freda's, where he worked both as a booker and threw parties with Rimbombo over the years.
