Fact Mix 817: Malibu (July '21)

For today’s Sunday Mix, Malibu pulls together a selection of melancholic ambient sounds and soft electronic music, centred loosely around a theme of “heavy hearts, both under the same stars.”
 
With an handful of her own productions – be it under her Malibu alias, or her dj lostboi moniker – nestled alongside music from OPN, Thomas Newman, Lorn and more, expect a poignant mix with a surprise or two sprinkled in along the way.

LOBBYMIX 41 : CRITGHETTO

Snippet from my vinyl only 4h set for Fiesta Frizzante at Hallo Werner, Augsburg.

Thanks for the invite <3

Recorded on the 2nd of October, 2023.

Fiesta Frizzante - Club Recording Snippet

Finally, the third part of "Work In Progress" is now available on the cloud—a collection of healing tunes for challenging times.

This mix is distinctive in the context of the series. I created six versions of it using various recordings over the past year, but none left me satisfied. I was consistently searching for tracks that would evoke inner self-reflection, establish a calm atmosphere, and encourage thoughtful contemplation.
After browsing through my old records, buying new ones, and rediscovering A- or B-sides, I finally arranged something that reflects my personality, where each record holds its own unique story. It feels like I've never expressed myself through a mix as effectively as I have in this one.
The mix creates balanced vibes—deeply happy and calm, yet also trippy and nerdy, inducing contemplation on anything that comes to mind while listening.

It begins with one of my favorite ambient EPs by No Moon, centered around existence. Transitioning to Ewan Jansen and Gonno, followed by nthng and his interpretation of a beautiful love from the EP "Hypnotherapy," which I shared with a special person. Next is Erell Ramson shaking hands with Pariah in a remix, followed by Artemisia, discovered in a random, fully dusted cardboard box at my uncle’s place—what goes around comes around. An ultra a.s.o. remix-only release, which I fell in love with after the Rain Down in Purelink’s "say less" way, and then targeted by Jimi Bazzouka with a Giappone. Ending with one of my favorite releases by Purelink, gifting us "Dozen Sunbeams," followed by Downstairs J with a brief description of the Orion constellation and Fjeldheim texturing a map. In the last track, I attempt to convey the message to "Go On" and continue with your passion through the extended mix on the a.s.o. release.

This upload is filled with gratitude for the beautiful ups and challenging downs of 2023. Much love to my old and new friends, everyone involved in the collectives, and big thanks to every artist in my collection for creating and all the record dealers who enable us to search, find, buy and love records.
