Would love to know this one @javybz crazy closer!

Easy Listening

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

What’s good, good people? Doesn’t it feel nice to be slowly transitioning back towards a sense of normality? Yes, yes it does. Do I have the perfect accompaniment for this shoulder state of mind? Yes, yes I do. Number 63 comes courtesy of Oz legend Biancolato aka Nick Whiteside. 

Nick has been around the traps for a few moons, a tidy list of productions and a DJ’ing resume that would get him almost any job, the Biancolato moniker is a recent excursion into a bit more intimate territory and damn does he do it well. I cannot stress this enough, THIS MIX SLAP’S (hard), oozing maturity and understanding beyond comprehension, it transcends any situation and directly dumps you into a good (great) mood. So many perfectly tempered tunes, meticulously pieced together to build the ideal ‘home’, and that's exactly what it is, a place to be comfortable, a place to feel safe, a place to share with your loved ones. This is the perfect embodiment of the series, a real chance to show and tell a different side. I've blasted this thing countless times over the past months and I can guarantee its freshness, welcome to your new soundtrack. I actually think he put it best into words (see below) 

Bless up. X

His words>>> 

It’s the endless twilight of an adolescent summer, long, lazy hours poking rocks with sticks on warm afternoons and waiting for something to happen, like finding a blue-tongued lizard during a dust storm, perhaps.

It’s your first kiss, soft, terrifying. The smell of another person’s breath.

It’s running until you can taste copper.

It’s lying in bed, your lover by your side as dappled sunlight filters through lace curtains, slowly moving across the wall.

It’s the smell of the forest in the rain. The smell of Mrs. Palmer’s surfboard wax. The smell of fresh cow shit. It’s the smell of old books and timber; slightly damp but comforting. It’s the motor oil in your grandfather’s shed.

It’s the condensation on the kitchen window on a winters night as potatoes boil on the stove.

It’s drinking jasmine tea from a jar with a friend, loose leaf with chunks of ginger and lemon slices.

It’s leaving home and returning.

It’s sitting alone on a moving train, watching.

It’s seeing something so painfully beautiful it hurts in your throat.

It’s knowing, and not knowing all at once.

It’s thinking in loops and regret. It’s an unwavering optimism.

It’s the comfort of familiarity; a sound, a scent, a snippet of melody that conjures a space in your mind, perhaps forgotten.

It’s a selection of music, of records. A soundtrack to a journey that may have already happened, or may be about to begin. Perhaps it involves distance, momentum. Perhaps inertia.

A journey can be soothing and fulfilling, rewarding, but also sometimes uncomfortable. Things happen, maybe unexpectedly. 

But by the end of the journey, by definition, you’ve arrived somewhere, even if that somewhere happens to be right back where you started from.

FHUO # 63 // Biancolato

25th mix in our series was a long one in the making! But the wait was well worth it! 

@sankywashere delivers a wonderful music lover's dream mix made of Soft Rock, Classical, Balearic, Psych Folk, Israeli Jazz Rock, 80's, Italo, Boogie and what not! A couple of exclusives in there and some stuff to set the shazamers off...! 

Sankywashere has willingly no social media presence, you can find him only on Soundcloud. He plays at Love International in Croatia and We Out Here, Gilles Peterson's Festival.

Originally from Newcastle, he moved to New York 10 years ago, and moved just recently to LA. Currently curating a new museum in London that just opened up. www.twistmuseum.com

He's part of a loose group in the collective LoveSunDays. www.soundcloud.com/lovesundays

Sanky has spent a lot of his life in dusty bins full of records looking for sounds that were less than successful at the time. Coming from the north of England, he grew up on rare soul and jazz and found a deep connection to the most special of formats, the 7”, which is most of what he collects nowadays. "I'm a George" he says, "if that makes sense for anyone... good music growing up all around..." 

As a long-term Mancuso's Loft Party fanatic, he has been influenced to let records play longer and drift around to hopefully create a feeling and not just a ‘set’. "The mix is for us to escape together to a remote villa on a warm night with good friends and listen to the whispers of the musical past. And of course all ID’s welcome as per usual, music is for sharing." 

"It was my 50th this year and there are a few records on there that remind me of good times spent through the year, mainly the 2 weeks in Ibiza that a few of these tunes soundtracked... and this also covers the widest time span of any mix I've done as it goes back to Holst and the 19th Century... been hunting the 1st tune for years, so it's a coming together of 50 years of listening."

Nu Guinea @ The Do!! You!! Breakfast show - NTS radio -25/10/16

A few years back, my friend Otis did a mixtape called ‘a time for peace’. It’s an effortless mix of melodic & vocally driven music which became a source of some of my favourite records that I was yet to discover. There was never a tracklist for it, but over the years, have found them serendipitously in record shops and had a few joyful moments when finally the needle drops on one of the tracks from this mix!
The past week has given me an opportunity to reflect on some of the records that I return to constantly, can get lost in & consider something else for a while. I hope that perhaps someone out there might find something in here that opens their ears to something new, can get lost in and one day have that needle drop moment too! Thanks to everyone who put me onto these records in one way or another.

Mix of the Week #324: Dj Supermarkt - Slow Love On Apollo 11

Crown Ruler Mix # 19 - Javybz

From Russia with Love.
In these times of uncertainty and stress, Moscow based digging duo Javybz deliver a sublime mix to cleanse your soul. Anya and Julia - the "All Styles, All Smiles" NTS hosts and Melodies International family have been Crown Ruler favourites for a hot minute. The love these two put into their craft as DJs and presenters is as permeable as the music they uncover. Respected by many for their wonderfully eclectic taste, this offering is no different. An all-class journey that glimmers through modern soul, new age, balearic and odd pop gems from across the world. Beautiful music to lift your spirits.

Crown Ruler Mix # 19 - Javybz

Operating out of Melbourne, here is a group who have been showcasing jazz and diy experimentalism in a whole new light.

The four piece group have been making waves amidst funk, soul and jazz communities the world over and most recently released a nine track album via longstanding UK based imprint Mr Bongo, a label which has become an authority in the sound. 

"All News Is Good News" was released in July and was met with critical acclaim, it was well received and showcased the instrumental capabilities of a group very much on the rise. 

We invited them to piece together a mixtape, they do so in fine style.
